22 photos of kids destroying EVERYTHING

Seriously. Everything.

If you’ve had kids, we guarantee you’ve been there. You turn you back for five minutes, and when you return, it looks as though you house has been burgled – or worse, set upon by children.

And we understand (we do!), children are curious and, of course, still learning, so how were they to know that smearing your entire TV screen with white paint wasn’t the right thing to do? Or that dumping your entire make up bag in the toilet wasn’t “helping”? Or when we said “don’t touch”, we really, actually, totally meant “don’t touch”?

But still, when your tiny tot breaks something or draws on something valuable with a permanent marker, it can still feel like you’re on the edge of a break down.

So. We’re here to help. Here are 22 photos of the worst child-perpetrated destruction the internet can provide to totally make you feel better about your own.

And if your child is worse than this? You’re on your own.

You turn your back for five minutes…

Oh well, it’s not like tampons absorb water, right? … Right?

We guess you could call it a “make-over”. Sort of.

You didn’t need that TV anyway.

We’re not totally sure the kid was totally to blame here.

It’s alright. They probably didn’t need that…

At least he has the grace to smile about it.

Reading is overrated, anyway.

We’re not even sure… how.

A little Napisan will get that right out.

“Decorating”, perhaps?

Or a little attempted murder?

Is nothing safe?

This the face of someone who has experienced true regret.

At least he didn’t touch the hair straightener.

Does this qualify as “helping”?

What? He was thirsty.

Don’t laugh – this could be a new trend.

At least they did it in the shower.

No regrets here.

Sigh.

We’re not even sure what happened here.
