      Been there. Luckily my kid just painted her upper legs nearly black by overlaying tons of markers. Yes, she had enough time for that, you see we were under influence of severe sleep deprivation...

            That's basically the best possible outcome.

            Toddlers are the reason why, despite being able to afford nice furniture for the first time in our life, we're sticking with ratty couches and old Ikea coffee tables.

              Thankfully, Sharpie marks (even the "industrial" ones) are pretty easy to remove with rubbing alcohol

                Tracing over sharpie marks with dry erase markers makes it way easier to clean depending on the surface. I've only tried it on non-porous surfaces though.

                  From experience, that works even on soft furnishings

                    Acetone in the dry erase is doing the heavy lifting in this scenario.

                        I have a kid who (on a regular basis) took felt tip pens and just started colouring at the toes, up the legs, arms, all the way to the head sometimes. Changing colours as they felt like it.

                        They did this well past the toddler years.

                        Pro tip: washable markers are a lot more washable if you wash it off straight away instead of waiting all day.

                          My parents didn't buy good furniture until after I left home. They always said they would when the kids were gone but I moved out and my first visit they had new furniture, so I'm pretty sure it was me they were waiting for to leave.

                          Unrelated, I spilt coke on the new furniture on that first visit.

                            Goddammit, now I want to get out my box of washable markers and color myself from toes to nose! I'm going to be a grownup and remind myself it would use up all the markers.

                                        Maybe not the right community to be posting this kind of thing, but I agree. (im just here because it was in my all feed) I mean if we all stopped having kids then the government and corporations would either be forced to start treating us better, or humanity would die out which is probably a win/win. Additionally, people who have a lot of money and think they can afford it sure are betting big time that life won't get harder or worse later on. I used to have a good job. I am much worse off today than I was 10 years ago. It can happen to you too.

                                        Overall, people should be free to spend their life doing whatever they want but it's my opinion that rewarding our overlords with more children is the morally wrong thing to do until and unless life gets easier for regular people, not just the rich.

                                          I have crappy old couches etc....because my three boys are very rough.

                                          Why buy nice stuff that you have to worry about.
