My 11(12 in about a week) suggested that we purchase white tee shirts and markers to make tee shirts for our high school football team games. I told her no, that I didn't have time to deal with the mess right now. The next day my husband took the kids to the Dollar Store, she purchased tee shirts and food coloring. When she came home she took these items into her room and proceeded to decorate the tee shirts with food coloring (all of this was without permission). Our 5-year old just found the mess that came of that experiment. The 11 year old got food coloring on the sofa in the bedroom, the carpet, and several pieces of brand new school clothes (unfortunately those school clothes belonged to the 5 year old).
How would you handle this? I am really angery because she ruined so many items, disobeyed me and manipulated my husband. My husband does think it is a big deal because the carpet is somewhat old and the couch, while not very old, isn't very atractive.
