If you think toothpaste is bad, wait until they discover vaseline.
A friend of mine had four kids. All three of the boys have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified to some degree. Of course they were not diagnosis'd because her husband refused to allow it and after the divorce got the judge to tell her she could not take them for medical care of any psychiatric/behavioral problems or the oldest's encopresis because he needed surgery because it is not behavioral. But the judge agreed that this boy didn't need the surgery that five different docs said he needed! All because the ahole says that nothing is wrong with 'his' boys! her youngest boys were ten mos apart and one day they got itno the vaseline.
Every part of their nekkid bodies (they hated clothes and every chance they got they stripped down - even once at a mall!) was covered, so was the hall including the carpet that had to be removed, the walls, the lights, the toilet, sink and tub, doors, pictures, all the toothbrushes (which they confessed to using their Dad's only to play in the toilet for several weeks previously which explained why he was so sick from both ends for a couple of weeks - they did NOT like their dad even then two years before the divorce, lol - what they did after was far worse, lol) and so many more things.
Toothpaste may be hard to get off, but not nearly as bad as vaseline. You would be SHOCKED to see how far one container of vaseline can go. it is UGLY.
They even coated all three cats iwth it. WHich of course meant 3 very sick cats with rampant diarrhea who needed baths with Dawn. Ever try to bathe ONE cat? Three antisocial cats is a nightmare! I did the last one because it was afraid of me because it bit me the week before and I bit back and shocked the koi out of it. You are not a TRUE FRIEND until you offer and follow through with bathing the third cat after the other 2 have told it horror stories of the bath! (Yes, I was a TRUE FRIEND, lololol!)
Time to start keeping the bathroom locked. Keep the potty chairs elsewhere if they still use them. Or keep the toiletries locked in a separate closet because you do NOT want to see where they can get vaseline. Or what is does to the ceiling if they all pee on the floor to see what happens and it is the upstairs bathroom they pee on. After they sold the house they got sued because the boys had damaged the floor and the house inspection didn't catch it. But they had disclosed water damage and there was an inspection so the inspector got to pay instead of my friend. But urine does far more than water and can eat away at the wood apparently.
Sorry they are showing their gfgness. But at least they are creative. I would trade a calm easy child with no curiosity for a difficult child any day. I could not cope with a child with no curiousity and I have friends iwth three of the most boring children you would ever see. They sit there, doing NOTHING, until they are told to do something. They don't even fuss for tv or a toy or book or go get one for themselves. They sit until told to do something even now as teens. It is creepy and scary to see children with NO desire to do anything. they don't fuss if told to do something, they do it like robots, even chores like scooping the dog poop or scrubbing the toilet. They just do that and only that until told what to play with or watch. They were given ipads and shocked everyone by doing NOTHING with them, not even turning them on unless TOLD to do so.
So it could be worse. And the Tots are so cute! And funny!
Just think what you can tell them when they have kids!!
Wiz swears he won't because he doesn't want me to tell his kids stories of what he did. Like getting a referral to the office in kdg for telling the playground monitor that his name was Jack. Last name? Asz. Yup. Age four. He doesn't even want me to meet anyone he dates, lol.
