We're big fans of the hilarious Instagram account @kidsaretheworst.

 

It's a compilation of photos taken by parents of the silliest and funniest things their kids have gotten up to.

 

Scribbling on walls features heavily...we can identify, can you?

 

1. Flushing EVERYTHING down the toilet

If you have a child who's fascinated by the toilet and would happily chuck everything they own down it, you'll know what we mean.

 

Eventually, they grow out of this phase... but not before they've attempted every kind of flushing experiment possible.

2. Trying to flush a younger sibling down the toilet

Having failed at flushing nappies, toilet roll and your favourite body lotion, they turn their attention to something else.

 

Or should we say, someone else?

 

 

I think this means Christmas is over. Flushed, even. #SquattyInThePotty: @cathyjensen7 #kidsaretheworst

3. Terrifying the pets

We think they were recreating a Fast and Furious scene, except something went wrong...

 

Those poor goldfish! But at least they haven't been flushed down the toilet...

4. Expressing their artistic talent

You love it when they find a nice quiet hobby.

 

Don't they look cute sitting there with their markers and drawing pads?

 

Take your eye off them for one second though and they'll be turning your living room into a contemporary Picasso exhibition.

 

 

But to be honest, this is what math looks like to me. Except less pretty. #WallArt #ButLikeONtheWall : @gianellieg #kidsaretheworst

5. Or practicing their tattoo artist skills

Once again the youngest becomes a guinea pig in this experiment.

 

Creative imaginations are just fuelled by markers and makeup.

 

Why have you made my poor baby look like a gang member?!

 

 

This is why you can't get anything done while your kids are awake. #HolidayMakeupTutorialComing : @morgallen #kidsaretheworst

6. Making it 'snow' 

Why play with toys when there's all that lovely Styrofoam just crying out to have fun?

 

Bubble wrap, Styrofoam, boxes, they're all fair game to the kids.

7. Toothpaste tyrants

They'll love using that Dora toothbrush and nice strawberry toothpaste...to decorate your sink that is!

 

At least it washes off, unlike marker on walls.

 

 

8. Breaking into the treats cupboard

Does anyone else think Nutella should come with a childproof cap?!

 

At least they can get straight into the shower...

 

 

9. 'Haircuts'

They play hairdresser on themselves, their siblings, their dolls, the cat, the dog, anything that comes near them. 

 

Oh well, they're the ones to have to live with the results...

 

 

10. When they apply their peculiar eating habits

Why would you do this?!

 

No Oreos for anyone now...
