Today, I came home from work to find my five year old daughter drawing unicorns on the wall. The same wall that I had to repaint last week because it had puppies on it. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered my 3-year-old daughter's artistic skills. She managed to draw an elaborate mural on our living room wall. The masterpiece? A stick figure family, including our dog, but instead of a tail, he has a second head. She of course used permanent markers. FML
Today, I painted my daughter's bedroom. When I wasn't paying attention, the cat walked through the paint tray. There are now Barney purple paw prints all over the house. FML
Today, I came home to find my younger daughter left her silly band collection on the carpet in front of the fireplace. I now have melted unicorns and princesses stuck in my carpet. FML
Today, I got home to the smell of permanent marker and the discovery that my roommate's little sister had drawn flower petals around every polka dot she could reach on my walls. I just put up the wallpaper last weekend. FML
Today, I had to tell my daughter that just because markers say "washable", it doesn't mean that you can draw all over our newly-painted walls. She's 15. FML
Today, my kids decided to draw on the walls with permanent marker, and now my house looks like a modern art exhibit. FML
Today, my toddler proudly presented me a "beautiful drawing" he'd made... on my freshly painted living room wall. When I started to scold him, he said, "But I made it for YOU, Mommy!" Now I feel guilty for being mad at Picasso Jr, and having to paint over it. FML
Today, I left the living room for 3 minutes to make a coffee. When I went back, my 4-year old had found a permanent marker, God knows where, since I don't own a permanent marker. She'd then drawn on her face, the carpet, wall, sofa, both dogs and as an added bonus the TV screen. FML
Today, my five year-old niece thought that it would be acceptable to carve her artwork all over our toilet seat. FML
Today, I was painting my bedroom walls, when I was struck with an uncontrollable bout of diarrhea. I had to watch helplessly from the en-suite bathroom as my 2 year old daughter painted a lovely picture for me, all over my new $500 sofa. FML

Who was supposed to be watching her? It's their fault.

Maybe you should properly discipline your kid?

You could make her clean the walls herself. You could also tape up some butcher paper on the walls (it's pretty cheap and you can buy it in bulk). Make sure to support her passion - making her clean it up will help her realize what a hassle it is for you. With the butcher paper, though, you're appreciating her art and getting across the point that you want to save her drawings and let her do her thing. And it shouldn't be to expensive. My parents put paper up for me when I was a kid, and I'm still an artist. :)

Chalkboard paint is the answer.

Sounds like its time to buy her an easel, canvas and her own space to be as creative as she likes.

Just beat the bejesus out the little brat, if they wanna draw on the walls make them do it in their own blood! Or you could just watch them. Christ.

ok really. duh. just duh. doesn't seem like a good idea to leave a five yr old alone for starters. are ya just stupid. if u have a sitter ... find another one they don't seem to be doing a good job. and maybe a lil talking to the kid or giving her oh I don't know paper or just taking away all her writing/coloring tools. geez honey. or else leave the unicorns and hope the kid is rich and famous some day and u have the first mural. duh
