This is ridiculous. First of all, someone said that a child choosing decor of a home is an age appropriate decision because they live there too...that is totally insane, a child does not pay the mortgage or rent and therefore has absolutely no say unless it is it's own room.

Second, a child cannot have this much freedom. Yes, children should be able to express themselves and all that but letting them draw over everything is saying 'Hey, there are no boundaries! Do whatever you want!' what if little Timmy goes home and draws all over mom's new sofa too? Children need structure and rules and boundaries in their lives. They do not have the ability to apply these rules to themselves or to see that what is done is one house is not to be done in another.

Why not get a sofa from goodwill and let them destroy it? Hell, that sofa could probably pay for the part of my college I have to pay out of pocket and I am stressed over all the time because I have no money and you let these little brats scribble on it. It must be nice to have that kind of money, how about donate it to the needy instead of letting little kids draw all over it? Sounds like a plan to me, but what do I know, I'm just a practical American who cares more about my neighbor than myself.

Oh, and parents, please spank your kids when they do something bad. I got spanked and I am fine, time outs don't work, ignoring them does not work. Take your brat out to the car if they are screaming in a store or restaurant, no one else wants to be annoyed by your mistake.
