I feel like I’d allow this in a kid’s room. It’s fully behind the door so I don’t have to look at it and it’s their space.

Ultimately, it’s less destructive to the house than the missing door stopper.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 week ago

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. At a certain age where they're not just finger painting randomness anymore, why not let a kid run wild with their room. It's not the end of the world if you need to re-paint the walls if you need to move.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a hollow core door, it's mostly paper anyway.

"I'm empty inside, but I still work."

I know, door. Me too...

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd allow or even encourage something like this but ideally only on the wall and not covering the door plus not with crayons or marker since those can be a pain to paint over. But other than that I agree, why not? It's a way for them to incorporate their own design ideas into their living space.

You're damn right I'm okay with it.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I might even commission this artist.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I had a kid and they did this I'd take them out to buy them more art supplies.

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Heck i'd get enough for me too and join her!

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Honestly if they're not doing damage have at it. We're painting this room before we move out anyway.

[–] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

would also get some varnish and save that for all posterity.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

now there's a kid that's going places. Not college, but places.

ehhh, I was gonna guess probably furry conventions or perhaps more optimistically a lucrative career in shitposty webcomics (think oglaf), but sure lets shoot for the moon.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I hear furry art is lucrative.

Oglaf is God tier art how dare you.

[–] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Same thing.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You can spot the parents here.

They are expressing themselves, having fun, and off the iPad. They even put it where I don't have to see it too often. I'll call it a win.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep, this is how Michelangelo started, painting his bedroom walls. One day, it's the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Well, that's been done, but maybe the food court ceiling at the mall.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 week ago

what’s a mall food court grandpa?

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not really, my parents would've crucified me for this lol

I think it is correct to let a child do something like this in their own space, but I'm not a parent lol

And like I said, my parents who, if you can believe this, are parents, would've killed me.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what's effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn't actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

100% agree with this.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Missing the pop-tart body, otherwise we could have had a wild Nyan Moose

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I thought Nyan cat translated to cat cat?

*Looks up Japanese for moose

What we have here is a Mūsu Moose!

[–] corvi@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Close. Nyan, or nya, is the equivalent of meow. So you need whatever sound a Japanese moose makes.

[–] hungprocess@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I believe the sound is 「おい、ロッキー、僕が帽子からウサギを出すところを見てよ!」

(Ah yes, my finest work: a joke in a language I don't speak well about a 65+ year old show most folks here probably haven't watched. 😅)

I didn't know this. Mūsu Moose sounds even better! Mūsu Moose it is!

[–] termaxima@programming.dev 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actual question for parents : why is this a problem ? Drawing on the walls of one’s own room seems like a great creative outlet !

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rented out house, also fucks up with repainting it which you do need to do after sometime

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh, heavy primer will take care if most anything with a few coats. It's only marginally more work

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Makes the room smaller though

I'm okay with it. Pretty great actually.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 week ago

Eh. My opinion on this is "Your room, your walls." Unless the kid decides to start drilling holes or otherwise destroying the wall, it's fine. It can be painted over later on.

Or, it may be a good opportunity for washable paint.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd probably leave that up for a few years. I have trouble throwing away any of her artwork.

I'd stick it in a gallery, must be on the original medium though.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Yup. Go for it, kid. And the best part is you can drag out the rainbow farting moose any time a childhood story is needed to mildly embarrass and laugh with your kid.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 1 week ago

I say keep it. It'll distract from the hole in the drywall.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

At least she got the colors in the right order!

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago

this is the artwork of the century.

[–] tasankovasara@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Nice styles, lucky she's good :D

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

We had an art wall. You need an art wall.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Fuck it, let it stand. Just tell her not to do it anywhere but her own room.
