Parents Who Are Honestly So Over Having Kids Right Now
Parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, and you truly would do anything for your kids, but somedays, even just for a moment, you really start to think that creating little humans was not the right choice.
These are all parents who, for at least a second, were so over having kids.
This Is Kind Of Brilliant
This girl explained that her parents used to tell her and her brother that they had another brother before, but, because he refused to take a bath, he turned into a mushroom. What a great way to make your kids compliant for bathtime.
Hope They Take It Well!
I'm just saying: how nice would it be if you got to take being a parent for a quick little test run before committing to an 18-year subscription to raising a person?
Teachers Are So Brave
I have to give it to teachers: not only do they deal with our little monsters on a daily basis, but they also manage another 25 monsters at the same time. They deserve more credit.
It's The Lack Of Logic For Me
Obviously, as a parent, you are tasked with protecting your kids from things that could cause them potential harm, and how do they repay you? Throwing a tantrum about not being able to drink bleach.
Invent A Time Machine, Kiddo
This kid wanted to be unreasonable, so naturally, this mom decided that tasking her with the most reasonable subject, math, would be an apt countermove. Good luck with long division!
Glad The Whole School Can Read It!
For his senior yearbook, this guy asked his parents to write a dedication to him like all the other parents do. His mom left the task to the dad, who wrote this.
Take The Kids Through Hell And Back
This boy explained that his parents promised to take him out somewhere unique for his birthday, and they ended up driving him here. His parents literally told him to go to hell.
I Am Not In The Right Headspace For This
Of course, you want to encourage your child to have a curious mind and a passion for learning, but why do they have to have a curious mind at seven in the morning?
Their Kid Didn't Make The Cut
The person who posted this photo explained that they saw this sign on their parents' lawn when they came home. Their parents wouldn't let them into the house because they "weren't on the list."
Life Hack For Children's Sports!
Listen, I love my kid, but they are not all that great at soccer, and I shouldn't be forced to watch a game a week of below-par athleticism while completely sober.
Have Fun At College!
As a going-away present before this guy left for college, his parents gifted him all the money they found in his pockets while doing laundry over the years, totalling $415.
I'm Scared Of Her
My question is: is she simply making things up, or did this little girl find a way to steal and smuggle a cat into the home, watch it die while in her care, and then dispose of the body without anyone noticing?
They Really Just Roasted Him To The Public
It's already hard enough to drop out of school and face the scrutiny of your peers, family, and close friends, but now the whole neighborhood is going to mock Owen.
Kid, I Don't Know What To Tell You
Picture this: you pore over every piece of parenting research you can find while expecting. You even play Mozart for the baby in the womb. Then, after years of learning as many answers as possible, your kid has the audacity to ask you this.
This Father Is Not Pleased
Parenting is a hard job with little to no thanks, and then your child—who you care for tirelessly, pay to keep alive and happy, and have lost countless nights of sleep over—has the audacity to do this.
Haha, Why Did We Do This Again?
Imagine if you never had kids: you could plan vacations to relax rather than going to Disney World, and you could enjoy nights out with your friends. Instead, you're managing two small idiots.
Welcome To The Real World
As a parent, you constantly give and give and give—well, this is me giving you permission to take a little back. Enact an ice cream tax. Make them give you 1/3 of their Halloween candy.
Keep The Kid Preoccupied At All Costs
This mom was trying to get through some much-needed yard work when her son wouldn't stop "helping" and slowing her down. Exhausted, she just tasked him with painting the fence with water so she could have some peace.
Okay, A Whole Mood
One thing that I can respect about small children is the way that they unabashedly will just start screaming uncontrollably when life isn't going the way they want. I wish I could do the same.
Classic Parenting Necessities
Some things you will need as a parent: diapers, baby bottles, soothers, a change of clothes, a college fund, a whole lot of patience, and a bottle of strong bourbon to get you through it all.
Is Zoom Parenting An Option?
Truly, can you imagine how much nicer it would be if you could just hold a television remote up to your kids and hit the "decrease volume" button whenever you felt like it?
Kids Have No Respect For The Cost Of Healthcare
This kid, while trying to demonstrate to his younger brother how he managed to swallow a simm key the day before, proceeded to also swallow a coin. Now he has two foreign objects lodged in his body.
Classic Place To Keep The Remote
This mom was frantically running around the house searching for the remote for the Nintendo Switch only to realize that her kid had, for no clear reason, put it into his ukulele.
She Knows Not What She's Done
What kids don't realize is that, when you give them a punishment that takes away their TV time, you are also going to feel the punishment as well. No one wins here.
How Do You Even...?
Imagine that you're a parent trying to get the kids settled down for the night. Everyone is already bathed and in their PJs when, suddenly, you enter a room to see your kid trapped in the vent.
Can I Buy A Vowel?
Honestly, it fits with the puzzle. I think that this dad deserves to win the final prize of Wheel Of Fortune for thinking outside of the box. I can't even imagine what the real answer is.
It's Too Early For This
It's one thing to have to calm your toddler down from a problem that makes sense, but how are you supposed to console a kid over the loss of a pair of glasses he never even owned?
Thanks For The Heads-Up!
First of all, I would like to blame schools for ever thinking that "spirit weeks" were a good idea in the first place. Second of all, how is he supposed to make a tree outfit in 20 minutes?
Don't Make Bets You Can't Keep
This little girl really got herself into a competition that she had no business competing in and decided to have a meltdown. Props to this parent for not going easy on her.
What Are You Even Supposed To Do...?
Like, I'm sorry buddy, but Dad's hands aren't made out of wood, you can't have sleeves without the jacket they're attached to, and the dog deserves better than to eat dirt.
Leave The Kid Unattended For A Couple Minutes And This Happens
This child's parents were out at the phone store trying to figure out a new plan and phone deal for themselves only to turn around and see their kid with his head stuck through a sign.
Not Newsworthy, Kiddo
First of all, did this kid think that every single person who ever dies gets a little shoutout on the local news? Second of all, how important did he think his goldfish was?
Why, Though?
This parent was shocked and dismayed to walk into the bathroom and see that one of their kids had taken it upon themselves to bite into the bar of soap.
Um, 27?
Okay, sure: I definitely think that it's not too far off the norm for a kid to try swallowing one or two magnets, but 27? Was he gulping them down by the handful?
I'm Sorry, But You're Not
This dad was going through his son's homework notebook when he came across this page and had to finally face the fact that his son is, in fact, an idiot.
Thanks, But No Thanks
Glastonbury is an annual festival for the contemporary arts in England that this dad loved to attend, but instead, he got tortured by the musical stylings of his children for hours.
Interesting Costume Choice
Most parents are lucky enough to have their kids want to dress up as easily accessible costumes—Iron Man, Elsa from Frozen, a dog—but this kid had to think outside of the box.
Captain Ravioli Is So Random
Kids really will be out here saying the most random and embarrassing things in public without any prompting or warning. You're just out here feeling bad for the server who has no idea what's going on.
Glad That Toilet Paper Is So Hard To Find Now...
Within the first few weeks of the pandemic, this mom was preparing her son for bed with a bath only to find that, in the moments she'd left the room, he had thrown several rolls of toilet paper into the bathtub at a time when you couldn't buy any in stores.
Then Again, Parents Always Bounce Back
Even if you're over being a parent for a little bit, you always remember how much you love and care for your kids, and you end up back in their corner in no time.
