Parents With Grown Children Showing Their Work Is Never Done
It's weird that when we are growing up, we think there will come a time when we don't need our parents anymore. We probably won't need them the same way, but we will always rely on them to know better than we do, and they're still going to be the first person we call when things head south.
But, that's normal. Then, there are other times when even as adults, we don't have the world all figured out, and we need our parents to guide us.
This Dad Had Other Plans
Obviously, this means that he likes his future son-in-law a lot, because dads always save that kind of roasting for people they really care about. Plus, he was obviously consulted on the engagement before it happened.
"Know What Would Make This Look Cooler?"
A huge splash in the background! Duh! You gotta love a dad who understands the power of Insta fame and is willing to get a little wet to help out with it.
Who Taught Her This?
There comes a time when your parents start to blend themselves into the cool, hip world you thought was separate from them. Soon, they're going to start using your own words against you.
Nothing Is As Special As Family Traditions
Sometimes it's your parents who are a little confused, but you know what? That's OK, we are all human, and if that means wishing happy birthday to the same person who isn't there every year, so be it.
Every Dad's Secret Dream
When dads tell you that they don't want a dog, they really do want a dog. They just aren't ready for the emotional commitment and photoshop skills they're going to have to develop to have one. Like this dad who sent his son a picture of his plans for his old room.
It's OBVIOUSLY Art
You can always count on your parents to point out what's dumb about the newest cool trend. Even with the photos of yourself you felt confident enough to share in the family group chat.
No Matter How Old You Are, Mom Will Have Your Back
Yeah, they can be annoying and overbearing, but moms are also always going to be there for you, even if it means jumping on a plane to bring you warm hugs and probably soup.
They Will Always Need To Call You Out
We will never know for certain if she was actually talking about the drink or not, but she did tell her son to get his mind out of the gutter, and that is probably a fair comment regardless.
This Mom Is Playing Matchmaker...Against Her Will
They picked up a mirror for their son at an estate sale, and the mirror was so epic that their daughter wanted one too, but when the parents asked him for a picture, the son didn't respond, so they had to find some on his social media.
This Is What Those Pictures Looked Like
So yes, this man is clearly fabulous, and we can see why the woodworker would be thirsting for the man in the mirror. And let's not forget to mention that the mirror is fabulous.
How Could She Stay Mad After That?
This guy bought a $65 tree skirt for the family Christmas tree without telling his mom, and she was not pleased with the cost. But it does make a cute poncho, so maybe she will change her mind.
If Only She Knew
Apparently, this mom isn't as hip with the kids these days and didn't know that this was youth speak for "I'm going to kill myself at the thought of sitting through mass." Or she did know and was disturbingly chill with the idea.
She Even Left Out Some Water
Having parents who are going to accept your drunk ways is a blessing. This mom said her daughter could Uber over after her night out and even made sure she would have what she needed for her inevitable hangover.
The Room Still Got Cleaned, Though
This mom decided to clean her daughter's room, but she wasn't going to do it without leaving a sassy monkey on the bed to draw attention to all her hard work.
We All Need A Break Come Lunchtime
Thank goodness this mom gets it and sent her daughter to work with a beer in her lunch. She will say it's by accident, but we all know she's just looking out for her.
Just Like Childhood
These parents learned that their son was going to be moving home after school and decided to make up the couch the way his bed used to be as a child, so it felt more like home.
Someone Has Some Trust Issues
No matter how old you are, it's a mom's right to put her hand on the end of the shopping cart and guide you through the grocery store. I'm sorry, but that's just like science.
Why Do We Teach Them How To Use Social Media?
So they can call us out on all our issues on the internet for all the world to see? This dad was so devious in his subtweet that, honestly, can we even be mad about it?
Someday Mom's Going To Start Taking Jokes Seriously
When asked what kind of birthday cake he wanted, Matt jokingly responded "urinal cake." Well, guess what? Mom was done with his jokes and gave him exactly what it was he asked for.
To Be Fair, That's A Cute Cat
You know you're close with your mom when eventually the only thing that she messages you about is photoshopping pictures of her cats so she can be Instagram-famous in her own right.
Mom Has Had Enough
You can tell this is something that's been on her mind awhile, and she is putting her foot down big time. She's sick of it and she's letting her daughter know.
His Reaction Could Have Been Worse
At least he's opting for the corny dad approach to the situation and not being the overly protective dad who wants you to change something you've already done that's pretty permeant.
Summer Is Officially Over
As a warning to his children to start dressing warmer, this dad zips up his zip-off shorts when he feels the end of summer is upon them. It's a yearly tradition not to be taken lightly.
Well, She Has More Than Made Her Point
This seems to be some next-level petty, but I respect it. Instead of just taking out the trash and being mad about it, like the average parent, she went and mailed it to him out of spite.
As If He's Going To Listen
But you know what? At least no one can say that she didn't try to lecture him on the safety of drinking and the importance of giving college your all.
Shots Fired
Just because it's true doesn't mean that you can go around just saying things like that to people! On Facebook, no less. Where did some of these parents learn their evil ways?
A Little Over-Protective Maybe?
This dad is just trying to make it clear that he doesn't want his daughter speeding in his precious baby, the car. Though, covering the speed seems like a bad idea overall.
It's Nice To Be Rewarded For Helping
Parents are usually pretty good at letting you know they're grateful for the time you do get to spend together, even if it's just at the grocery store picking up three-packs.
No Sugarcoating It Here
Like this mom, if you have something to say, you should just say it. Otherwise, these two might end up thinking it's a compliment or something. Wait...maybe it is. It's impossible to keep up with the kids these days.
