Why is it so quiet? Oh no.

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.
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.

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.
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.

But you're also a grownup who can buy more markers!

That's what you get for procreating.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

Shit like that gets put up high. Like on top of tall cabinets.

Thankfully, Sharpie marks (even the "industrial" ones) are pretty easy to remove with rubbing alcohol
I was doing a remodel and exposed a wall covered in Sharpie graffiti from previous clientele. Painter looked dismayed. I sent for a case of rubbing alcohol and got rid of it.

Honestly thought it was a bullet vibe and then I read the community this was posted in. And then looked again. Marker cap. Ohh. That also makes sense. Hard to put it in context when one doesn't have children haha.

Acetone is the solvent in the sharpie pen.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]We have never bought new couches. My main chair is older than I am. But I did sit in a chair in a shop the other day and the back was right up behind my head, a surprisingly hard thing to find for someone tall-ish like me. Almost made me want to buy it.
I hate visiting other people because they have short backed couches that just aren't person-shaped. Makes me wonder how they sit there for hours.
