Pictures That Prove That Moms And Dads Bring The Chaos

We love our parents and they do so much for us. But sometimes their methods are slightly more than questionable in a big, disastrous way. Their tag team combinations are equal parts hilarious and often leave us scratching our heads and looking around for the dustpan.

Here are some hilarious photos that prove moms and dads are out here living it up in all the wildest ways. Even though we're constantly baffled by them, it doesn't stop us from loving them that much more. We just find ourselves asking "why?" a whole lot.

For Halloween, this mom wasn't messing around. She wanted to go as the thing that sent fear straight into her heart that she's sent straight out into the world. This now gives all of us a new reason to be nice to our moms, lest they dress up as us for Halloween.

To be fair, she did put herself in the photo and it does work better than having a weird photoshopped person on the end. This way she's front, center, and completely loving it.

We're witnessing the moment when dad jokes become mom jokes. She's executed this pun so well that we're sure she's not green to making corny jokes. Or steamed, buttered, or in a casserole...

This man-witch just proves that spooky season is for everyone. He's not letting his kids and wife be he only witches here, but instead of being a warlock (like we'd expect) he's embodied the theme in his own way. It's a low sodium way too.

Yeah this is innovative, but it's a good way to get a phone call from all of your neighbors who can see your backyard. This dad clearly doesn't care though, and isn't about to let anyone ruin his day off poolside.

Dads aren't miserable, but they sure love company. If you and your dad ever go to a hardware store, you know you're going to lose him somewhere and he'll turn up chatting in the automotive section with three new besties. Now you have to worry about him making furry friends at home.

This dad shelled out a bunch of cash to take his kids to Disney World, so you better believe he's going to be first in line on every ride, eating all the pretzels, and not missing a meet and greet opportunity with Woody and Buzz. Oh, the kids probably had fun too.

She definitely loves all her kids the same, it's just that giant, special order commissioned, gilded frame and hand-painted portrait of her daughter was the only one she had. Next year she'll surely remember to order wallet-sized photos too.

These two would be really fun to go to the grocery store with. They'd be the type to sprint down the condiments aisle and yell back at you to "ketchup." Mustard you do that, dad?

This mom didn't even try at all when taking her husband's photo. Once she got hers she was satisfied and ready to leave, so he got the levitating tower of Pisa. Must be a new one.

This dad poses an excellent question: why grab a cart when your child is already sitting in one? Unfortunately for this kid, normally you'd take the kid out so they can walk before you start piling milk and orange juice cartons on their heads.

Mom's is the turtle and dad's is the... mug? One is kind of cute and whimsical, while the other looks like a piece of haunted coral that follows you around swimming at the beach. I wonder if he lived to tell the tale after he drank out of it.

There's no slowing down for this party animal! In preparation for the party, this man knew he needed to bust out the signage that really showed how ready he was for the shindig. A mullet man really communicates that.

Give a dad a carabiner, a twistable tie, and a few minutes in the day and that man will solve a climate crisis or two. Or maybe just a seatbelt that was made too short.

This Father's Day celebration is equal parts incredible and completely wild. These kids are ready to wait on him hand and foot and give him any advice for the driving game he's playing. Maybe all he needs is a baby and a milk bottle propped on his chin to win.

Finally, an absence note that makes sense. No more of this "stuck at train tracks," "doctor's appointment" stuff, this is truly the note that makes the most sense for everyone. There's no more rational statement than saying "kids can be turds."

This mom isn't fooling around in the kitchen anymore. She's sick of those onion tears rolling down her face and distracting her, so she's taking matters into her own hands. She's going sport-mode and she doesn't care what she looks like as long as she performs.

When this kid was looking for their missing fish-eye lens they should've checked all the places that make sense. If you haven't investigated the chip-clip drawer and all the clippable items in the fridge that mom insists on sealing, then you haven't really looked. Duh.
