Mommy blogger Ilana Wiles created an Instagram account to unveil the real truth about parenting. Titled "Average Parent Problems", it's full of hilariously funny photos showing what parents go through while raising kids. From finding a slice of pizza inside your purse to listening to tantrums over pretty much anything - you can expect it all from your little kids.

'I hope other parents will relate to the photos, feel like they are in good company, and see the amusement in our daily problems,' Ilana Wiles, told The Huffington Post. 'I am always aiming to make the struggles of parenthood entertaining. We need it!'

Ilana also invites other parents to submit their own photos from daily life with kids on Instagram with the hashtag #averageparentproblems to get featured, so keep that in mind, mommies and daddies!

Large appliances boxes were my favorite toys as a kid. Just about every week, my Dad would stop by Sears and get a refrigerator box, fold it flat, put it in his truck, and bring it home. It was like Christmas every week, for me! :)

    I work in tech with a bunch of alpha males. The men that have this type of home life are in fact the most insightful, thoughtful, collaborative and are the better leaders in the organization. Daughters surface a different side of their own inner self. It's wonderful.

    I don't have children myself but I do sympathise with parents of small children on planes. I've seen how nasty people can get towards them if the baby cries or won't settle. I was on a fight from Hawaii to LA a few years ago and this toddler in the row next to me kept crying and moving around. There was this guy behind them who kept huffing and puffing and complaining about the baby. I gave him my best 'shut the f**k up look' and then proceeded to distract the youngster with my keys and phone. I have to share the world with other people and sometimes that means a crying baby on the plane - people need to get over it!

    I cannot tolerate the seat kicking kid looking for attention, nor the constant crying of one. It's not even healthy for the baby to travel at a too young age. It also puts stress on the parents. Not good for anyone really, but what can you do if they really need to travel. Most of my experience of crying babies on planes are flights that lasted 12 hours at least. So, no wonder i feel bothered.

    9 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    So you would send that kid and parents on a 3month+ boat journey instead of 12 hours flight? You can never know what important thing forced them to travel, noone travels that long with a young kid unless they HAVE to. Maybe someone died, or kid needs a special surgery, or other important things. Also the parents suffer alot more because of the stress and shame they have to endure during said flight. Next long flight, you should think about investing in a pair of earplugs, they're not that expensive. Or headphones to watch your movie/listen to music. Problem easily solved, better than hating a kid for no reason, or his parents who already have it rough most likely.

So,naturally,they brought inflatable pool for me,all the tasty snacks,fruits,toys,etc... and every time they asked me if I wanted some of that,I said "NO!" until I saw some of the other toddlers playing near us and went on to dig into their dry piece of bread.Classy lady.

    Well it's not exactly the healthiest choice. And it's the parents who teach you first what is good for you. It's harder to change your eating habits as an adult if you are not used to healthy food. Not to mention children need good nutrition to grow up strong. Noone is talking about a 5 star meal, salad takes the same amount of time.

    Prepschool = a probable typo. They must have meant "preschool". A preschool (also nursery school, kindergarten outside the US and UK) is an educational establishment or learning space offering early childhood education to children between the ages of three and five, prior to the commencement of compulsory education at primary school. They may be privately operated or government run, and the costs may be subsidized. Preschool pickup = when you go and pick your kid up from preschool. Share day = Each week or each month, most schools and preschools have a special day when children can bring an item from home to show and tell their friends about.

    that's because mom won't listen to reason and get the kid to bed earlier and dad is exhausted from working double shifts and having to get up a 3am in order to get any time for personal things because of the demands of the nagging wife and soul sucking brats.

    Unfortunately due to Mom being paranoid about the kid locking herself in the room and being trapped to starve to death forever, we have no locks on any of our doors so even this pathetic excuse for a sanctuary is not available in our house.

    Aw, poor kid. She wsnted to handle it herself. I can relate... I recently lost my adult dignity by grabbing trash out of the bushes in a state park - and realized afterword I had just put a million burrs in my hair and clothes. Oiled my hair and cried as I sat in the tub and carefully removeed 500000+ burrsfrom it. Ruined my fav tee. I'm sure i could have handled this better, but hey, sometimes you just make an impulsively wrong decision. She found out early. Good for her!

    The original post was about "everyday parenting problems". Try to give a toddler ice cream to eat on her own and you will find out why this post is real...

    Parenting is full of unique challenges and comedic moments that remind us we're not in this alone.

    It's much like how many of the hilarious and universal issues faced in everyday adult life are captured perfectly in average life experiences shared by us all. Whether it's finding humor in spilled milk or in millions of similar scenarios, sometimes laughing at these relatable moments can be the best therapy.
