Leaving your kids alone for 5 minutes can be the difference between a good day and a day from HELL. Yes, they might play nicely but it is very much possible that they will cause nothing but DESTRUCTION for five minutes and you wish you had never left the room.

So, next time you leave your kids alone for a few minutes, make sure they aren’t suspiciously silent. If you can’t hear them then they are 100% up to no good.

1.) A little privacy here?

This kid has somehow made a fort whilst sat on the toilet, it’s pretty impressive if you ask me. Why have they done this? Who knows. All their parents can do is pray that they aren’t actually stood in the toilet.

2.) Am I a turtle yet?

This kid’s parents turned their backs for a few seconds and suddenly their kid had transformed into a turtle. Don’t you just hate it when that happens? At least he is embracing his true form, you can’t knock him for trying.

3.) Trying out the latest face mask

Wow, this kid really can’t be left alone. All I can think about is how weird that must feel! A toothpaste face mask, imagine the cooling sensation. Maybe it is good for the skin, I might try it out…

4.) Drinking spilt milk instead of crying over it

I like this kid’s attitude. Most people cry over spilt milk and yet he is like, “I don’t play by the rules, let me drink it instead!” I hope his parents let him know that it’s not the most hygienic solution.

5.) NEVER leave a kid alone with crayons

These parents were just ASKING for a disaster. If you are going to leave a kid alone, even just for 5 minutes, take all weapons of destruction away, including crayons. I love this kid’s approach though, just fall asleep and they can’t get mad at me!

6.) Where’s her body gone?

Honestly, this one made me do a double take. How did she mange to cover her ENTIRE body in paint and yet not her head? It’s quite impressive, maybe she will be a painter when she grows up.

7.) This kid WANTS to get caught

I’m sorry but this little boy is an absolute savage. He is literally excited that he has been caught. His smug expression is like, “what are you gonna do about it? WIND all the toilet paper back up?!”

8.) Be very scared

This little girl looks like she has straight-up MURDERED her bath toys. And now she’s painting the bath with her blood. If I were her parents I would just back away slowly and leave her to it, yeesh.

9.) Tiny decorator

This kid just DECORATES things once she’s been left alone. At least she’s getting creative and yes, the toilet DOES look much prettier now.

10.) I ran you a bath, mom

These kids DEFINITELY shouldn’t have been given full control over the bubble bath. This is what happens when your kids offer to do things for you, don’t let them do it!

11.) One second he was in the bath and the next…

This mom looked away for a SECOND and when she turned back, somehow her son had transported himself from the bath into the toilet. He’s either a magician, a time traveller or both!

12.) Just pretend I’m not here

Um, I’m not sure what happened here but she looks pretty stuck. I mean, her expression says it all. She was probably trying to hide and now she regrets every decision she has ever made.

13.) Fine, I’ll make my own sandbox!

Oh dear. I cannot begin to imagine how much of a nightmare this would have been to clean up. Another example of a kid who CANNOT be left alone.

14.) My kid is now a cat

Don’t you just hate it when your kid transforms into a cat? It’s just so annoying. I have no idea how that kid even got inside there and I have a funny feeling that they might be stuck…

15.) Meet my new gymnastics partner!

When you leave your kid alone and they suddenly have teamed up with the cat and are performing acrobats. I mean, I just worry about the cat’s safety here.

16.) Turn your back for a few seconds and enjoy a few hours of regret

It’s not even WORTH trying to get any other jobs done while your kids are in the bath, ESPECIALLY if they have access to bubble bath. Watch them like a hawk or you’ll regret it.

17.) I just wanted some ice cream

18.) Worst assistant chef ever

Oh dear. This really is stressful just to LOOK at. Why do kids just never ask when they want something? No, they take matters into their own hands and ruin everyone’s day.

19.) Kids and paint = bad life choices

I mean, I have no idea why this kid loves cracking eggs so much but clearly he SHOULDN’T be left alone in the kitchen. He will crack all of your eggs and cause nothing but pain and misery.

20.) And finally…

These kids really must hate their parents…painting the TV too! That might be a blessing in disguise though…

We have no evidence of the culprit here but those brown handprints worry me the most. I REALLY hope that is just paint and not something far, far worse…

So, parents if you were planning on getting ANYTHING done today, don’t bother. Just sit in the same room as your kids and watch them all day, making sure that they don’t do ANY of the above. Have a great day, folks!
