This is why you shouldn't have children

My children ruined all of my tech. They graffitied my Nintendo Switch (it's completely broken and I threw it away), threw stuff on TVs to make it shatter, and stole my phone and gave it to a dog! Even worse, my router is broken, my DVR is broken, EVERYTHING! Now I have to spend money on new tech...

Ouch, that really sucks, buddy. Maybe look into some child-proofing solutions for the next round of gear? There’s some solid protective cases that might survive the kiddo's apocalypse. Also, investing in cloud backups and insurance might save you some future headaches. Stay strong!

Feel your pain... had to hide my laptop like it’s a freakin’ treasure map. Ever tried those magnetic locks for cabinets? Might save your next router at least.

Sounds like a nightmare, yikes! Look, I get the kid chaos, but tech and kids are a bad mix. For the love of your wallet, get extended warranties & insurance on your tech if you're living with mini destroyers. Helps me sleep at night tbh.

Children - the ultimate tech reviewers. Durability test failed, I see.

They broke your Switch? That's straight-up criminal! Time to invest in a solid display case with a lock or just never let 'em within 10 feet of the game room. Godspeed on saving up for replacements, mate.

Dude, why toss the Switch? Might've been salvageable. You could make a project out of fixing it or sell it for parts. There's always someone looking to buy broken tech.

Been there, it’s tough but kids will be kids. Just got to keep the expensive stuff out of reach and maybe teach them some respect for electronics. They'll learn eventually (hopefully).

LOL RIP your gadgets. Next time just give the kids a box of rocks to play with. Cheaper and probably more fun for them anyway. 😂
