People Who Are Really Crushing This Parenting Thing
As kids, we sometimes forget that our parents are just people, like we are, who are trying to make it work in this world with the added toughness of trying to raise good kids. It's not easy! I think we should all be grateful for the ups and downs and especially the funny moments. Those are the ones that will really stick with you.
Maybe Not The Reaction She Was Expecting
She posted this picture to her social media, and it was the first time that her dad saw that she had a tattoo. His reaction wasn't to get upset, but rather to poke fun at her.
He'll Never Forget His Lunch Again
Ryan forgot his lunch at home. Luckily, Dad was around to drop it off at school for him. Unluckily for Ryan, dad is a bit of a prankster and put his lunch in a Victoria's Secret bag.
Everyone Wants To Feel Like A Princess
Not only does this frame seem like a crazy choice for a picture of this mom's son, but she also didn't bother ordering the real prints. She was just happy with the proofs.
No One Will Catch On To Him
You have to love the man's dedication to what he loves. His sports games. There will be tons of times he can watch his kid sing off-key. This game is once in a lifetime.
She'll Never Trust Dad Again
There are worse things to drink out of a can you're expecting to be Fanta than apple juice. But it is really disappointing to not get what you were so excited to get.
At Least It Actually Worked
These parents told their kids that they used to have an older brother that turned into a mushroom because he didn't listen to his parents and take a bath when he was asked.
That's One Way To Deal With Wall Drawings
Being upset about this drawing could have stifled some creativity, but it would have also meant trying to get the drawing off the wall. Instead, turning it into a little art piece makes everyone win.
He's Very Serious About His Cake
Just because he's a parent doesn't mean he has to share everything with his children! That was his cake and he didn't feel like watching his daughter eat it. Obviously, no one else will need to get into the fridge.
That's Very Subtle
Parents are really good at knowing how to get their point across in a way that their kids are going to listen to. Like telling their adult son to move out in icing on a cake.
Mom Was Sick Of It
This mom was honestly sick of being the only one in the house who did the dishes, so she replaced all of them with plastic cutlery and cups and paper plates.
No One Is Going To Lose The Remotes Now
When you live in a house with a bunch of kids who don't understand the value of putting things away properly yet, it might be a good idea to zip-tie your remotes to a plank of wood.
Loving The Sense Of Humor
You know that Dad loves your future husband when he is going to help plan the proposal and then make a sign like this to hold up during the photo op.
The Look On Her Face
This would have been a very concerning thing to hear your mother yell if you didn't have any context like the package of peas all over the floor. She knew what she was doing.
You're Never Too Old For A Water Park
I think that something really fun happens when people start to bond with their parents as adults. Going to the water park as a kid? Great. Going as an adult and sharing a tube with your dad? Amazing.
The Best Teacher Is Embarrasment
His family could have made him feel really bad about being arrested and having his mug shot taken. They decided not to be mad about it but to put it on the Christmas card.
Moms Love Fancy Bottles
I can really respect someone who takes something out of the bottle it comes in and pours it into another, fancier bottle to make it look like it isn't mouthwash.
Parents With The Right Priorities
These parents were at Disneyland without their kids, just having a great time, but when they saw this dog getting its portrait drawn, they knew they had to send the picture to their kids.
It Isn't Wrong...At All
One of the great things about kids is that when they finally fall asleep, they are asleep. Even if that means being so comfortable that you end up looking like a ham.
She Looks Good, Really
Dad was pulling a prank on his daughter and hid her doll in the oven but then forgot about it...until he started preheating the oven for dinner and smelled melting plastic.
That Looks Like A Fun Time
Dad might have put a few too many bubbles in the tub, but you know what? That looks like a lot of fun, and those kids who got to play around in there are going to remember it as the best bath ever.
It Will Grow Back
I don't know why people still insist on giving themselves or their loved ones haircuts at home. They rarely ever turn out the way you want. Instead, you end up with one especially bald spot on the back of your head.
Let The Man Nap, OK?
One thing about being a parent is you find some super inventive ways to watch your kids while you're also trying to relax. Tying a sheet around your waists seems to work great.
He Looks So Proud Of Himself
Dad wanted to get himself a nice Father's Day present, and instead of leaving it up to chance, he went to the grocery store and picked out what he wanted...a bunch of chips.
That's A Great Dad
Look, accidents happen, right? But kids can be pretty ruthless. That's why this dad knew that one way to take the heat off of her was to make himself look like a fool.
Honestly, I Don't Blame Her
This mom made her kids take a picture of her at the table with all the food she cooked, alone because no one in the house helped her cook. It does look good.
She Tried Her Best, OK?
Mom tried her best to make a nice lunch for her kid. How was she supposed to know that Four Loko was not school-appropriate even though some days it feels like it should be?
What A Regal-Looking Bath
Are you even allowed to get any of that wet? That looks like a really elaborate window dressing, not a bathroom shower curtain. Plus it would get super dark in that shower.
Snacks Are Sacred
This mom knew that the dishwasher was one place her kids were never going to go, so she hid all her snacks in there. It's a pretty flawless plan until her kids want to be helpful.
She Still Wanted To Be Involved
Her son was having tryouts to join a golf club and he asked his mom not to come because it was making him nervous. So, she just watched him from afar without him knowing.
Mmm, Fried Bread
Grilled cheese is one of those ultimate comfort foods, and it's really hard to mess up. That is until you go and make a grilled cheese without the cheese in the middle.
