Two year olds can drive you nuts

I have 2 kids who are out of their terrible 2`s phase, but boy did they drive me and the mrs crazy. Put a crayon through my 40" Samsung tv lcd screen killing it, scratched the 2nd one across the screen, vhs player stopped working, upon investigation 8 bits of lego and 4 matchbox cars ;p Lost count of the number of glasses they broke when they were slapped/pulled of from my face. 2 mobile phones died due to drool abuse, permanent markerd my 22" monitor lcd screen, broke the washing machine door, broke internal car light the garadge couldnt even figure out what they done, now taking them in/out of the car in the dark is a mission. This is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak, tried to put everything above 1.5 metres or higher so out of reach... but one of them had the abilities of spiderman and evrything comes tumblking down.... good luck !
 
Lol, hyperfighting, that just reminded me about our bedroom TV.

Brand new samsung 26" lcd tv got delivered, unpacked it and set it all up, went for a pee and when i returned 1 minute later there was about 30 scratches on the screen which the little lad had made appear with the corner of the remote control.

My god i nearly cry when i look at that telly.

I remember when I was a kid I poured a bowl of rice krispies into the vents at the back of the TV. Later I cried because I wasn't being allowed to watch a cartoon or something. :D
 
There seems to be a theme of destruction of VHS/DVD players here... I think we're lucky as our little lad (turned two in Feb) isn't interested in the slightest.

However, we are finding lots of strange objects in the washing machine.....
 
yes numerous dvd videos players stuffed with books , crayons, soldiers and like :p

my friend still has the best one.He was fitting laminate flooring in his house and had left a hammer on the floor.while fixing a piece in and bent over his lad hit him on the head with it :eek::D:D bout knocking him out.still makes me laugh now :p
 
That is a whole lot of distruction, my two boys haven't broken or permanently maimed anything that wasn't easily replacable.

With our DVD player it was more scratching the disks trying to get them in than breaking the machine.

Talking about the constant questions I got kudos the other day as I knew exactly the age of the oldest person in the world - 115 and it was their birthday - having read it earlier on Yahoo.
 
Sounds like they're going to be bright kids - unless you stunt their growth by stopping their little inquisitive experiments. Try to focus that energy on something rather than let them decide what they should be investigating next.
 
My neice is two and yes, she is destructive but wickedly funny with it. She doesn't mess with her Uncle Bob's stuff though...she knows where the power lies in this family!

I did the video thing when I was a kid. Fed my dad's brand new Betamax pencils because 'It was hungry daddy!'
 
my son is 2 1/3rd, he's starting to be in the 'terrible twos', his favourite game is drawing on walls and floors.

That reminds me of a time when I was about 3 or 4 and my mum was really ill, and I was playing in my room with my crayons, she thought I was being a good boy playing quietly in my room, however I had drawn about a 4 inch thick border around the room with my crayons, I had left no wall un touched.
 
We have moved the surround sound system, DVD player, taken the knobs off the draws, put the sky box underneath the TV cabinet, I really fear for are telly,
my 2 year old is mental.

Damage hasn't been an issue so far, but having to answer 'Why?' to everything is becoming difficult. I'm plumbing the depths of my own knowledge at times and since thay are not my kids, I don't really want to make up ludicrus lies to tell them.

Solution: "Why do you think?" Said in an explorative way, rather than a "oh just shut up" way. Makes them think about it for themselves.

Worked on my cousins when they were at this stage.
 
My 2 year decided that 'Teddy' needed some sudacrem antiseptic cream. A large 500ml pot was daubed all over teddy, her bed, the walls, the carpet, the wardrobe, chest of draws, her toys, the bin & her clothes.

When I came in the room, she cheerfully announced that 'teddy hurt sore cream better daddy'. Can't argue with that logic.
