What was the biggest mess your child has ever made?

Question

Yes, I have six kids. They are all my angel babies but they do grow horns and lose their wings at times.

I just walked into my girls room and five of them are coloring their little "cave drawings" all over the wall in neon sharpie. That was only the first part.So I went to put my son in the bath after he pooed in his pants, and the bathtub is full of toilet paper and little fruit cups. In the toilet, I see a whole KFC chicken leg, and in the sink a bunch of mashed potato wedges.What next? I decided that it was time for the corner, so I went into the living room and what do I see? Six little lunatics feeding the fish cheerios and beating up on daddy. Then I notice that the dog hs a peanut butter sandwich smeared on his back.So, could It get any worse? My daughter runs to me crying and saying that her brother stuck a "bizztard" on her. She turns around and I see my sons baby lizard clamped its mouth shut on her back.Done yet?

After all was fairly calm, my OTHER daughter gets off the couch, tells me she needs to go to the potty, and then spews a mixture of blue kool aid, bananas, and red jello onto my lap. Then she starts laughing turns around, and pukes out more onto my white carpet. Heard enough? I have!

I am sure you kids do these things too, please tell me some stories, thanks!

Answer 1

My 4yr-old is EXREMELY smart but is very well-behaved. He does however help his brother concoct some bad ideas. My baby is almost two, he too is very smart, but very busy. Our dining room chairs have wheels and he likes to push them over to the cabinets and climb onto the counters, into the sink, and to my horror, onto the stove. I have rescued him twice now from a perch atop burners he lit. I wash able to get him before the things heated up but only barely. There is nothing he can't climb, nothing. We have all of our chemicals, all of my cooking ingredients and most of the food locked up with keyed door locks or metal chains and padlocks. He turns the plastic locks until they snap or break. His father made the mistake of leaving a book of matches in our bedroom, which is locked with a keyed lock. My 4-yr-old, helped my nearly 2-yr-old to unlock it with stolen keys and let him in. There is now a burn-hole two feet in diameter on our mattress from the fire. Luckily, the smoke detectors saved my son's life. It never fails, I have to use the restroom (which is always locked too) and they manage to get into something. In the last year, we have had to wash our cat because they died her orange with less than a half an ounce of orange model paint, had to install serious hardware on nearly every door in our house, replace several pieces of furniture that were taken apart with daddy's tools, and we have had to flush 6 fish, two died of being fed cat food, one died from having his tank cleaned with bleach, while he was in it, two more died because they were given a bubble bath in the bathtub, and the last was murdered by a very panicked cat who was tossed rather unceremoniously into the fishtank. I feel your pain, I have a third baby due in July and frankly, I'm scared. Labor is easy, I don't know if I can handle anymore crises.

Answer 2

This is the reason I stopped at two! But my daughter is an artist. Her canvas was grandma's brand new carpet and new wall. Her medium on the wall was a ball-point pen. Her medium on the carpet was the contents of her diaper. I should actually start by saying that it was my fault. I started potty-training her three weeks ago and she's got the whole "pee" thing down...but until today she was still having trouble getting her poop into the potty. (I'm happy to report that she did it today.) I have spent a lot of time recently playing hide and seek with discarded diapers, as she has learned to change herself...thus the reason she's getting potty-trained. But she hadn't played Poopy Picasso...until...
Yesterday afternoon when I put her down for a nap at grandma's she crawled out of the playpen and proceded to change her own diaper. When she couldn't open the door, she smeared it all over the wall, door and ground it into the carpet. When I found her, she was covered head to toe in her own feces. Fortunately, grandma has a big shower and my daughter likes to "sing in the rain".

It was a really bad mess...but I think I prefer mine to yours!

Answer 3

My son, three at the time, opened a brand new bottle of Mod Podge (very much like Elmers glue), stood in the middle of the room and shook the bottle until the glue was all over. It was on the carpet, the curtains and walls, along with every other surface in the room! I got the steam cleaner out right away, but not before taking a few pictures. I have the memory preserved in his scrapbook!

Answer 4

Wow, what a night! Tonight while I was changing my 6 mth old, he projectile pooped a nice green trail across the crib. I t landed on the sheets, his toy, his towel, and of course some was on me too. While I was cleaning his bottom off for the second time, he peed a fountain. A couple of months ago, my two year old decided to take his pull up off and use his poop like finger paint. I had just come from lying the baby down, and I walk into the living room to see brown smears all over the carpet and my leather sofa!

The worst mess was when my 6 mth old was about 2 days old. My husband and had taken him to the doctor to get checked for jaundice. Since it was his first visit, I had a ton of paperwork to fill out. while I was filing out the paperwork, my husband was outside with my oldest son. I hear the baby grunt, and I look down. There is yellow seedy poop running out of the bottom of the baby shorts. When I pick him up, there is poop underneath him in the carrier, on the straps, up his back, on my lap, on the paperwork, on his socks...pretty much everything we touched turned to poo. I called my husband on his cell phone outside, but he didn't answer. So I had to take the baby in the bathroom and try to clean him up myself. When I looked in the bag I didn't have a change of clothes, all I had was a onesie. I am so thankful it was summertime and I had a blanket.

Answer 5

Mine is not as good as yours. I have 4 kids. But on the top of my head I can only think of one mess my youngest did. She was about 18 months old. I noticed she was not in the living room and I found her on the changing table and had dumped baby powder all over herself (head to toe) and all over the table and the floor below. It was so hard to clean because there was this powder cloud when I would shake all the blankets and such trying to get all the powder off so I could vacuum. Oh, I have walked into the bathroom while by twin girls were bathing and noticed they dumped the entire bottle of shampoo into the water and I had the hardest time getting them rinsed off and getting the tub so it no longer had a slimey feel to it.

Answer 6

I have twin boys and the worst mess thay have made so far (they are only 2 1/2) was to empty out all the food from the cupbaord onto the floor. Cereal, noodles, rice, pudding cups, and 2 or 3 boxes of kleenex.... I walked into the mess and found my babysitter on the computer in the other room completely oblivious! Needless to say, she never babysat for us again.

Answer 7

My friend, you do need a vacation. Leave daddy in charge, when you get back, he might be a little more in the help department. Wow, it sounds like you need to keep all the food away from the kids! Take a deep breath, or a bath tonight!
My kids are always spilling stuff, and I keep all the sharpies locked up (no joke).

Answer 8

My kids just keep messy, clutterd rooms no matter how often we have them clean it.

The worst mess I ever saw from a child was when my daughter was in pre-school. I used to volunteer there a couple of hours in the morning before work, and one of her classmates went to the restroom. He was in there for about 15 minutes and when he was done, there was poop EVERYWHERE!. He took it out of the toilet & rubbed it in the sink, on the walls, he even threw it on to the ceiling. There was no place in that bathroom without poop on it somewhere. Of course I had to get to work early that day and as I was leaving, I felt very sorry for my daughter's teacher assistant.

Answer 9

My youngest was the type of child that if you had her first, she would have been the last!.....lol. We love her though.

She liked playing alone... had a grand imagination. I had told her not to put any push pins or tape on her walls. She wanted to mount a calendar..(not even the right year) on her wall. Soooo.....she took the months apart and smeared vaseline on the walls and glued the months to the wall individually. She put a heavy coating over top of each page so she could be sure they would stick!

The Kilz paint company loves us!

Answer 10

Wow! You make me feel as if I shouldn't be so frustrated.

I have a boy, who is 2, and a girl, who is 6 months.. and I always feel so frustrated because my son is so eager to make a mess--but now I feel like this should be a piece of cake compared to what you have to deal with..

Anyway, my son likes to climb on a chair and get into the things we leave out on the counter--coffee grounds, sugar, creamer, etc. He goes into a corner of the kitchen and just takes it out by the handful until the container is empty or until we catch him. I've definitely learned that silence usually means trouble!
