Proof That Patience Is Something Parents Definitely Earn
Parents are a special breed of human that must have patience beyond anything that a person without children could imagine.
Kids are actually insane, and they somehow think of the craziest stuff that they can do just to keep their parents on their toes—because that's their job in life as children.
At Least This Is A Healthy Snack
She is going to town with those craft scissors. I guess mom and dad wouldn't get her a snack quick enough so she took matters into her own hands.
No One Brushes Their Teeth Now
This is what happens when your sibling gets mad at you and decides that as punishment you're not going to be able to brush your teeth. It's evil, but I respect it.
They Technically Aren't Wrong
Their mom told them to pick up all the clothes off the floor. What she did not say was to put them away. Instead, they put all their clothes on the fan, which technically got the clothes off the floor.
Good Luck Unwrapping That One
You know that your kids love you when they want to play pranks on you. However, that much duct tape feels almost evil. It goes beyond being a prank and into the realm of things that are actively spiteful.
That's Put Away For Sure
What happened here? This kid poured a huge bowl of cereal and the decided that they wanted something else instead and just abandoned their cereal for Mom to come and clean up.
He's Just Making The Best Of It
The grade school kids had a day off, so this guy's parent decided to take him with them to the college where they taught. They did not have much luck getting them to dress normally and not like Godzilla, though.
This Is Just Mean
I'm a little bit impressed that a kid got all of that water under there and trapped it for their family to find, but that is going to make quite the mess later.
The Classic iPad Selfie Shenanigans
You can't take your eyes off a kid for one minute in a store that has things that they can play with or you're going to end up seeing their face on every tiny screen in the store.
Smart But Still Wrong
She wanted apple juice and there was no apple juice in the house, so she stuck a straw into a whole apple and just tried sucking. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.
That's How I Play Baseball
Her parents asked if she wanted to go run bases with them and she said yes because family bonding time is fun! She brought a book and sat on the pitcher's mound because that's what you do when you play baseball.
How Dare He Look Out For You
This young kid was wrist-deep in a jar of Vasaline that he was getting ready to eat in a big way, so Dad took it away from him. This kid's response was busting out a plastic knife and threatening his dad with it.
It Is Kind Of Funny
So, maybe it would be embarrassing for this to happen to you, but I'm looking at this and thinking that I probably would have joined that kid in laughing too.
They Needed Her To Know
At least they gave her a heads-up instead of just leaving it for her to find after she's done work and trying to relax that evening, know what I mean?
They'll Get There
It is kind of mean that Mom and Dad would stand there laughing and taking pictures while this kid is just trying to be tidy and pick up a book that he's standing on.
The Cat Does Not Look Impressed
When this kid's parents told him to feed the cat, I don't think that this is what they meant. What's the cat supposed to do with a big old orange like that?
This Is An Only Child Household
Mom and Dad brought home the new baby and she packed up her stuff and got ready to leave. She was pretty clear about wanting to be an only child.
At Least They Put It Back
This kid knocked all the toilet paper off the roll and then wrapped it all back up because they felt bad. It's not very useable anymore, but they tried to do the right thing.
That's Where All The Snacks Went!
Imagine you keep buying snacks and they keep going missing, and then you find them all inside your kid's tiny purse while you're at the grocery store? Crafty little kid.
What A Cute Picture
She asked her mommy if she could use her mom-stickers, and Mom, being the kind and sharing soul that she is, said yes. Now we have a drawing for Dad with a panty liner on it.
Kids Are So Strange
You take your eyes off your kid for one second and you look back to see them snorkeling in a fountain in a public park. There is something super gross about that.
He's Going To Be A Lawyer
He isn't allowed to have the iPad in the kitchen or eat in the living room, so this kid took the rules into his own hands and come up with this idea. He isn't breaking the rules!
Great, Now What Are We Supposed To Do?
If it were me, I would honestly toss them all out and start over again because that is a hot mess and it's not like you can open each one up and then close it again.
Life Is Really Tough
This kid is having an absolute fit because their hat doesn't match their coat...at least to them it doesn't. We can plainly see that it does, but reality isn't the point.
That Looks Like Fun
Sometimes you just have to let kids be kids, and if you look back on it and think that maybe you shouldn't have done that but they survived, then you know what? Just get rid of the evidence.
Classic Kid Move
Mom and Dad got this kid a pool to play in—like, a nice, actual pool—and yet he still insits on sitting in an old paint bucket full of dirty rain water.
What A Day In The Office
Who do you think this interaction was more embarrassing for? Was it the customer service person or the parent? It's probably not the first time something like this has happened.
You Have To Make Sure It's Clean
Mom and Dad brought home some toilet paper, and this kid just wanted to make sure it was clean and ready to use. What better way to do that than by putting it in the bath?
That's Not Where That Goes
There is a learning curve with kids. To them, a toilet and a garbage pail might be close to the same thing, but they aren't, and this kid is about to learn that.
It Was Still Helpful
Don't ask to help with dinner if you're not going to have any follow-through. When Mom asked you to get the beans ready, she probably meant for you to empty the can, too.
That Is A Lot Of Eggs
It's going to be a very delicate rescue mission to get all of those eggs out of the fridge and into a safe spot. At least one is going to break.
