Smart phone
laptop
hard wood floor
my wife's uterus

Haha! That reminds me, my oldest also tore my wife's cervix during child birth. He got started 1st thing.

My kids, not all at toddler ages, have managed to go through 5 laptops in about 8 years

OMG! that's VERY expensive!

I wish I could post the pics here!!! FUNNY! It ends with this:

And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...
1.A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2.If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3.A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late.
8.Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11.Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.Super glue is forever.
13.No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14.Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16.Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.The fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
25.80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

I also lost a very expensive television to a toddler. It was a sippy cup through the screen "accident."

This thread is excellent birth control! Just in case the pills and condom's don't do their job! :bigsmile:

EXACTLY!

I have 3 boys I lost track of everything I have had to replace because of them. However I refuse to buy brand new furniture till they move out of the house lol!

My son used my laptop as a trampoline once. Cracked the screen.

Thankfully, my husband is just tech-y enough that he ordered a new screen and replaced it. This poor laptop is still going strong, but I am considering an upgrade....

wow I feel lucky! the worst things my boys have done is scratch a dresser, break a drawer on their own dresser, and bust about 1500 bucks worth of makeup all over the bathroom floor. Guess I'm not doing too bad at keeping an eye on them! I don't let them anywhere near any of the electronics.

My dog has destroyed much. My son accidentally broke a vase recently... and that's it. But I have the best child ever, it should be noted.

Can my dog count as my toddler? He broke the keyboard of my laptop and ate a USB-drive filled with scientific data. The drive it's self wasn't expensive... but the data.... yah... I was sad. Some neuron pictures that I couldn't replace (stupid me for not backing them up).

1. He tackled my 10 yo daughter so hard he knocked one of her teeth out.

2. He pulled a bar stool apart and broke the legs.

3. There's scratches/gouges all over our 42" TV

4. Our couch is an entire different color from juice/milk spills. So's our carpet. So are part of the walls.

5. My sanity.

6. What was left of my marriage.

My kids haven't done anything destructive that I can think of....

When I was a toddler I managed to get the BB's out of a bottle of nail polish....all over the bathroom floor. And it was pink.

I had the most destructive set of twins....They could pull things off that I didnt think possible. They cracked a toilet from top to bottom. Destroyed their nursery(while the monitor was on and you could hear them breathing but not tearing curtains down, hmmm) I think they rigged the monitors. Also brand new carpet in the hallway. There were other things along the way until i put them in a cage and kept them there(of course I am kidding but it was definitely an adventure).

My wolf-dog ate my husband's motorcycle seat. Then, the day he got it replaced ($400), she did it again.

She ate the linoleum off the floor.
She ate a door.
She unearthed a backyard-wide sprinkler system.
She dug up and carried around a tree.
She chewed/punctured a can of spray paint and turned half her face/chest black.
She severed the cable connection so many times, the cable guy gave us the tool to cut the cable and a bunch of spare tips.
She ate/shredded a pack of cigarettes.
She got a fish hook stuck in her lip.


My dog has cost me WAY more than any toddler!!!!!

Sounds like my dad's Weimeraner. She's eating a wall, floor trim, two recliners, a 4lbs plate of fudge, expensive shoes, purses, a wicker bench... When I say eat, I don't just mean chewed on. I mean she has literally destroyed!

The best was the $250 Ray-Bans my dad got in Vegas. They were ON TOP of the refridgerator when he left for work, on the floor in shreds when he got home.


My kid is an angel. I can't think of anything that he has ruined.

My ex was going shooting with some friends, and our son, who was 2 days shy of 2 years old, snuck a shotgun shell and put it in his diaper. He waited a little bit and then when I was picking up the living room, put it in the microwave and turned it on. There was no ignition source, but the heat caused the casing to swell and burst, which sent the gunpowder and bb's shooting all over the inside of the microwave. My son wasn't hurt but very well could have been, and I freaked out accordingly. For about 2 years after that, everytime he saw a white microwave, he would ask if it had a shotgun shell. Ugh.....

My ex accidentally burned his parents' house to the ground when he was 3, so I guess I'm lucky it was only a microwave for me....

OMG...to both!

londongirl2012

wow, i knew kids were bad but the pets too!! hmm i always wanted a dog..but now i'm not so sure...don't fancy it destroying everything i own! lol

SergeantSunshine_reused

Since I have no kids yet, but had a toddler brother once i'll participate xD

I had a backstreet boys cassette tape and he unwound it all around the kitchen.
May not seem expensive to you, but to a 10 year old girl that was my most prized possession xD

My children have taken a magnetized toy to the television... it now has a big color blotch/hump on one corner of the screen. They put my mom's cellphone into her coffee cup.... they drew these amazing caveperson type drawings on their white bedroom wall from the edge of the bed to the ceiling with purple crayon.. they colored the arms of the white rocking chair with a black sharpier. they pulled my door through the doorway and ripped it off the hinges. towel racks, kitchen drawers, door knobs are non existent. they broke the porch step leading into the house, several glasses and plates and the front door.

This ^
.... lets see about 4 Ipod touches , about 5 dual shock PS3 controllers , a few jawbones.. a turtlebeach set.. umm a painting, numerous numerous Items.

I forgot several digital cameras'.. * and this is with 6 Children mind you , not one of them has been more expensive really then the others .. and I put everything up but the younger kids will play the ps3 and the 4 and almost 2 yr old will get a hold of the controllers the 4 yr old is cool and sometimes just drops it , an accident really.. but the two yr old will chuck it :C ...

I was remodeling our bedroom and living area and my husband had left the paint in the 5 gallon bucket with a wet towel on it. I was talking to my aunt .. and out of the corner of my eye I could see this crazy figure with HUGE eyes.. lol it was Drew then 10 months old.. and COVERED from head to two in battleship grey paint. I went to get the run down and there while holding drew I could assess the situation ... where I found my 21 month old daughter painting away on our new wall paper... new bed spread .. on the new wood flooring .. and there were Diaper prints of where her brother had dutifully sat while she plastered the paint on every single inch of skin she saw ... he started to crack as I stood there .. silently screaming inside my own head and trying to figure out what and how to clean and whom first..? I put her in her room.. Laughed a lot while saying you dont paint the room you use paper YOU NEVER PAINT your brother. but it was hilarious .. through him in the bath and had quite a lot of cleaning to do. all this while on the phone for 10 minutes. SERIOUSLY.

if they are quiet....and only three ER visits in over 15 yrs of parenting isn't bad

you need to figure out what they are doing ..

because by GOD ALLMIGHTY they are doing something ! lol.
