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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

well OP you obviously didnt handle the puppy on the wall situation very well ... the punishment was worth the crime so why not do it again ...

So you didn't learn your lesson the first time?! Watch your kid and teach them not to draw on walls.

suggestion: they make this wonderful chalk board paint. since she likes to draw there make that her special drawing area and teach her that this is her area only. and it's a special area just for her. and then teach her she can't draw on walls except there. this way you are giving her creative space and teaching her the lesson and you don't have to keep repainting the wall. plus you have now given your child a place to create and share. who knows she may be the next Monet..xoxo A mom of three good luck

A large dry erase board for her wall may be a good christmas gift.

If I had drawn all over walls when I was 5, there wouldn't have been a second incident. My parents would have whooped my ass.

you should get chalkboard paint and paint o section of your wall with it. Give her some chalk and you're good to go, just make sure to teach her to only draw on that section, LOL. And who the hell was watching her while she had the time to do this? YDI, for not paying attention to your child, hahaha, (:
