Parents Share 30 Absurd And Funny Everyday Things Kids Overcomplicate For No Reason At All

🤣 this one needs more upvotes!

You’re expected there 15 minutes early so you start prepping to leave the house an hour 15 minutes early.

Can confirm this one twin wants to stay both have to stay

I feel this. If we went to a museum or a nice restaurant, our daughter would likely have a come-apart, and if we went to the kiddie bouncy castle place, she would have the best time while we were bored out of our mind.

Some things you don't 'get over'.

They did & won!

My son loves the diversity in different brown foods like fish fingers and chips.

Also the fact that they won't remember a thing! (Whatever you do, don't take a young child to Disney world...)

Well, did you ask the fish to stop staring and mind their own business?

The rest of us thank you for keeping them out of restaurants until they're older

^THIS^

Why is this not higher? So much this!!! It was easier to pack for a weekend away by myself, then it us to prepare for an afternoon out with 3 small kids.

We took our 5-year old on a hike, and she did want to go...complaining and complaining. Then she found a nickle on the trail...and then a dime...another nickle! There was no stopping her. We had a nice 30-minute hike, and it cost me less than $2.50.

Looks like it's time for that backpack leash : )

Super glue will solve all problems.

And nobody got lost.

Put their coats on backwards. Prevents escapes.

Took a 6 hour trip last weekend. Drove at night so the 18 month old could sleep. He did not sleep and got so worked up near the end of the trip that he threw up

I don't understand why parents put up with this with toddlers. I would tell my two kids at this age, no, we're not doing that because we need to ____. In a quiet but firm voice. And keep following up. Draw that line and stick to it. My daughter only threw two tantrums (thankfully at home) and I just ignored her. Walked over her to continue with the laundry. No reaction from me, no more tantrums.

he wanted cake

I made up The Sunscreen Song to sing while I put it on my daughter (Tune of You Are My Sunshine). “You are my sunscreen, my only sunscreen. You protect me from harmful rays. I’ll never know just how much I need you! Please apply sunscreen every day!”

At least they can dress themselves. You may not like what they're wearing, but at least you didn't have to do it.

Don’t die of dysentery

My mother-in-law was furious that I wouldn't take my 9 month old with stomach valve issues to her favorite Oriental restaurant while on vacation with her. Child would projectile vomit with absolutely no warning. Nope.

Just like I want to eat ice cream and cake all day and still be healthy. The logic of the world doesn't always get better as you grow up!

That's what my mom said. With one they just strapped me on their back and went hiking, etc. With two it was harder as they each had to take a child on their back so no more taking turns. With 3 they were done.

Right! Just like the pediatrician who told me that if my baby is upset after the vaccination, I can nurse him in the treatment room, but I have to clear it in about 5 minutes. Lady, even without nursing I won't be out of here in 5 minutes.

Pssh, those kids can give wooden boards a run for their money.

The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made of springs! They're bouncy, pouncy, trouncy, flouncy, fun fun fun fun fun! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one. IIIIIII'm the only one!

you joking? my three year old still gets his butt in the stroller if we're walking more than a block lol

My younger brother has 3 under 10 - lives in a different time than my parents, whom he visited with the older two. He kept them on their home time zone for the week long trip. Now that’s impressive.

Put all that stuff in the diaper bag! Yes, it makes for a hideously swollen and heavy bag, but it's all in one place and simpler to transport!

Bigger problem for me was he was too big to carry through the whole airport but too slow to walk on his own

Just came back from Gran Canaria to London. 4 hour flight but my son wanted to stand in the aisle the whole time, then walk up and down the whole time and then sit in the aisle for landing.

Sounds legit.

Why would you do this to yourself & to the kids? It sounds horrible.

Wait till they find the switch that controls the ceiling fan. Recent first hand experience here.

It's all about the experience.
