New Parents Who, Despite Their Best Efforts, Failed In Hilarious Ways
Do you ever look at new parents and watch them fumble around like chickens with their heads cut off and think about how happy you are that you're past that stage? You can see the mistake coming from miles away and then, like a car crash in slow motion, you just watch them struggle.
These are new parents who hilariously made rookie mistakes, and I'm so glad I am not them.
Good Morning!
While making breakfast and trying to get the kids ready in the morning, this mom walked into the kitchen to see her son had spilled the milk everywhere and was playing in it.
Extra Protein?
This exhausted mom of twins was making iced coffee into the morning only to realize a little too late that she had poured formula into it instead of creamer as she'd intended.
This Kid's Aim Is Incredible
Anyone who has parented before knows that it's a horrible inevitability that your child will, at some point, pee on you. This guy's son, however, aimed it perfectly so it would look like he had peed himself.
A Makeover For Woody
This mother was helping her kids clean up their toys when she came across this horrific makeover the kids had given Woody. It's safe to say that a snake in his boot is the least of his worries.
He Really Needs That Coffee
This exhausted new dad was trying to get a caffeine kick to help him battle his lack of sleep only to realize too late that he had forgotten to put a mug to collect the coffee.
Biggest Baby Bottle I've Ever Seen
This exhausted dad was woken up in the middle of the night by his newborn's cry and so he, half-asleep, went down to prepare the bottle and absentmindedly did this.
Every. Single. Day.
This is the life of a parent: having everything neat and perfect in the morning only for your messy gremlin children toss their stuff all over the floor so you have to clean it all at night. Rinse and repeat.
Halfway Through The Meal
This dad was feeding his baby daughter her dinner when, only halfway through the meal, she tilted over and just fell asleep. Whether or not she still has food in her mouth is up for debate.
At Least He Caught It Before Heading Out
After spending the whole night awake with the baby who was being incredibly fussy, this tired dad noticed, luckily before he left the house, that he had put his shorts on inside out.
Shopping Is Different Now
Remember the good old days when a trip to Target involved picking up toothpaste and shaving cream and then having your wife meander the aisles for home goods? Well, that's a thing of the past.
How????
This parent noticed their baby was exuding a terrible smell so he went to change the kid's diaper only to find this inside. He had the same questions as we do: how is it so green?
If The Sock Kind Of Fits...
This dad was tasked with getting the baby ready for a day out, and, as requested by his wife, he put socks on their baby's feet. So what if they look awful?
Missed One Very Important Ingredient
This mom who hadn't made a grilled cheese in years before having kids tried her hand at it when asked for one. Unfortunately, she forgot the most important ingredient: cheese.
Let's Hope The Hairdresser Can Fix It
This little guy's father made the critical error of leaving his beard trimmers out on the counter within reach of his son. Now his mom has to hope the hairdresser can fix his hair.
So That Didn't Go As Planned...
As a dad, you want to be the fun guy who puts your kids on your shoulders and tosses them in the pool, but sometimes, the stunts don't go as planned.
At Least He's Moisturized!
You know what? I'm sure not having a proper bath just this one time won't have any detrimental effects on their well-being. The kid will just have supple, soft skin.
...Well, There's No Way To Come Back From That
This new dad made the crucial mistake of turning on the oven to preheat without remembering that his wife was drying the baby bottles in the rack in the oven.
Not Exactly Appetizing
This overwhelmingly exhausted mom was trying to make dinner when she absentmindedly grabbed the sprinkles from the pantry instead of the taco seasoning as she intended. Perhaps delivery pizza is a better choice.
This Is A Nightmare
Perhaps if you were caring for a baby chimpanzee, you would be able to comprehend this sight. However, these parents were horrified to see their toddler has smeared their poop on the walls for no clear reason.
The Kid Is Pooping Socks
It's one thing to catch yourself making a dumb parenting mistake because then you can just hide the evidence and keep it as your little secret. It's so much worse when your partner catches the error.
Luckily, The Kid Was None The Wiser
After spending the whole morning running errands with her daughter with her, this mom realized that the toddler's boots were on the wrong feet the whole time. Not her best move, but at least the kid didn't seem to mind.
Caught Sleeping On The Job
I can imagine that this dad was trying his absolute hardest to stay awake and alert while on overnight bottle duty, but he ultimately failed and now the kid has an earful of milk.
This Mom Really Needs This Glass Of Wine
This mom, exhausted after a full day of caring for the baby, decided to pour herself a glass of wine after putting the kid to sleep only to find a nipple cover in it when she went to take a sip.
Maybe Don't Try To Multitask
This dad made the naïve mistake of trying to make breakfast while holding his baby in one arm. It was going pretty well until he tried to flip a pancake.
This Mom Was Just Not Prepared For The Reality Of Having Kids
Obviously, when you have kids, you mentally prepare for all the things that will be a but more difficult with little humans around, but nothing can prepare you for the kids fighting over air.
Screw You Too, Baby
This mom, trying to capture the precious memories of her child's early years, tried to make a clay molding of her daughter's hand, but a couple of fingers broke off, so it looks like the baby is flipping her off.
I'm Sorry, Dude, But It's A Lost Cause
This parent made the rookie mistake of leaving markers (more specifically, the most dangerous marker) lying around within the reach of a child. Now he's going to need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new monitor.
She's Smiling, But Her Eyes Scream Pain
The worst thing about the way babies throw up is that they show no warning signs. One moment, they're smiling and everything is fine, and then, a split second later, you're covered in puke.
Honey, We Made An Idiot
You might think that you've done a good job as a parent and that your child is smart, and then you'll look over and see them doing some nonsense like this.
And You Never Outgrow Making Mistakes
Even after spending years parenting your child, you think that you'll eventually get past the point of making dumb mistakes due to your experience, but you really never stop messing up.
