Today, after waking up, I walk into the kitchen to see my two-year-old with a blue sharpie in hand as he says, "Look mom, color!" He left no appliance or cabinet untouched in his coloring masterpiece, and I'm still trying to figure out where he got the sharpie from. FML

Only thing worse than an unsupervised two year old is two unsupervised two year olds.

A common practice is using the restroom almost immediately after waking up. Being a parent doesn't exempt an individual from this.

Here's a story about a little boy that lives in a blue world....

When he grows up he'll be putting food coloring in the shower head, just watch.

And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him, inside and outside. Blue his house, with a blue little window and a blue Corvette. And everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around 'cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

Those are the hidden expenses that kids come with unfortunately, had a similar situation with my first child colouring my tv screen with a black permanent marker, so convincing I thought my tv was broken til I looked closer. I feel your pain OP.

When i was in school one of the science teachers said their child did something similar, but with a magnet. For anyone who doesn't know... Magnets and tvs don't go well together.

my aunt and I discovered the magnets when I was about five. we thought it was the coolest thing ever until we actually wanted to watch TV and realized how bad it damaged the screen.

Question: Why the **** was your toddler able to wander the house unsupervised while you were asleep? Haven't you ever heard of a baby gate? You're lucky a blue sharpie was the worst he got hold of, frankly. It could have been worse.

Just because she was asleep doesn't mean he was technically unsupervised. I've woken up to my son doing some pretty interesting things while my husband was "watching" him. Sleep is also impossible to fight off sometimes, a sleep deprived mom nodding off accidentally isn't unheard of. It's so very easy to be judgmental about parenting until you actually are one.

By the time my son was 2, he could climb out of a crib, over a baby gate and push chairs around to climb onto things. I once woke up at 3am and found him watching TV and eating a jar of peanut butter. If that makes me a piece of shit parent because I was sleeping while my toddler was running around unsupervised at 3am, then I guess im a piece of shit parent....along with the majority of other parents. Don't be such a judgemental ****.

Wow, lot of sensitive and presumptuous people around here. FYI, I AM a parent. I know it's hard. It's still no excuse for a kid to be wandering around unsupervised, and if the father was 'watching' him, then daddy needs a talking-to. Good luck cleaning up the mess, OP. Sharpie isn't as permanent as they like to think, at least.

#23 I guess I should have clarified, HE WAS NOT UP WANDERING THE HOUSE BY HIMSELF WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. we both had just gotten up. I was going to the bathroom, for less than 3 minutes he was unsupervised.

my one and a half year old climbs out of his crib like its nothing. thankfully he hasn't learned doors yet, but still. even when you hear them giggling on the monitor, you can't get to them that very second. you kinda have to get out of the bed and to them. they can wreak a lot of havoc in that short time. and when kids know they're doing wrong, they tend to be very quiet.

Well, your high horse is as tall as a guard tower, no wonder you're such a perfect parent

Yeah, but most people still have to house somewhat baby proofed, so it's not as if parents leave knives out and let their toddlers wander around.

Trace over the sharpie with a dry erase marker. It will wipe right off. Stay far, far away from nail polish remover - it will also remove paint and finishes.

Interesting...

This really does work, although I've only tried it to remove permanent marker off of a white board.
