It's just they don't do any tedious stuff. They leave the desktop to each other all the time. They leave the desktop online, and walk away. Or the kids ask, can we watch youtube or play games on your computer and yes, of course. Then they occupy it maybe for hours.

That's just a family reality where both parents have jobs, and lots of other things up, and kids in difficult age, and they simply can't enforce any additional rules beyond the most essential basics (and not even these ...) It's probably an average chaos, with more than 2 kids.

I set up a computer for a family like that. I forced it to autologin by
default, to the kids account. One account, no supervisor privileges,
let them do what they want, and it stays logged in to them. 

A separate supervisor account was set up, for the parent. They logged
out the kids account, logged in, did their thing, then restarted. It
autologged into the kids account and they were done.
