This Instagram Page Dedicates Its Content To “Average Parent Problems”, And Here Are 40 Of Its Funniest Posts
Hugs, giggles, and their first I-love-yous, whopping bills, tantrums, and a constant state of worry – parenthood is a rocky journey that will reward you one day and make you contemplate your choices the next.
It’s a common occurrence to feel exhausted and burnt out; at the end of the day, it’s not your usual 9 to 5 where you eagerly await tapping out on a lovely Friday evening, knowing that you’ve got a couple of days to spend in your own company.
Caring for a child can suck the life out of you, especially given how the modern world expects you to juggle a million things at a time. It’s a demanding job that needs your complete dedication; however, it’s crucial to realize that everyone feels the weight of parenthood at some point or another, so don’t beat yourself up over it, and get ready to have a little fun with these parenting memes.

This was so standard with me and my siblings that it became an acronym. "Hey, I've got something to tell you, but it;s a DTM"

Dad said, "I didn't want bread." .... Grandma said, "Take my bread, Thomas." .... "I don't want your bread, Mom." .... "You need bread, Thomas." Dad ate the bread. He was fifty-seven at the time.
Um it is. My sister is 50 and I am 51. I do retaliation tattles because she tattled first lol 😂
When I was pregnant with my son I always called my sister, who is 9 years older than me, after my doctor's appointment. My mom would get her feelings hurt because I didn't call her first so every time I talked to my sister she would say don't tell mom you called me first lol
I was like that in my twenties lol my mom is 4' 11" tall but she's feisty even at 81
Load More Replies...Younger sister in her mid-20 something told my mom every single bad thing I ever did as a child. 😑
My sister and i are still unloading all that stuff onto Mom and we are 38/40 :) Hey Mom, remember...? That wasn't actually her, that was me.
Load More Replies...Yep. I'm 54 and my brother is 61. There are a few things we don't tell Mom.
It goes without saying that becoming a parent is a tremendously difficult experience.
You may compare it to sailing into a storm on a shaky ship, or riding a rollercoaster – you know, bumpy and filled with twisty paths.
Now, of course, it’s also a very rewarding thing, but in addition to the deepest sentiments of love and joy, being a parent may cause you to feel the most worry, stress, frustration, wrath, and hatred you have ever felt in a relationship with another person.
But what’s a better way to remind yourself that you’re not alone than to look at some memes? Average Parent Problems is an Instagram page that dedicates its postings to, well, parenting and its universally experienced problems. The page currently has over 458K followers and is run by an influencer called Ilana Wiles.
Let’s learn a little more about the creator of the page! Ilana describes herself in the following manner on her blog, Mommy Shorts: “I’m a working mom from NYC who writes a blog instead of sleeping. I have two daughters. Harlow is seven years old and Mazzy is ten. If you think you have more adorable children, Mazzy and Harlow will challenge your children to a cuteness contest. Where everyone will automatically tie. Because pitting our kids against each other is totally NOT COOL. (Although I do it all the time.)”
The blogger then added: “I worked as a creative director in advertising for over 15 years before I quit to focus on Mommy Shorts full-time in November 2013. Using this blog to earn a living is more work than I ever imagined but nothing beats the flexibility of running your own business when you have kids.”
Hey!!! You could text in the 90s... It wasn't a very long text thou and it cost...
Got my first mobile (cell phone,) in about 1995/6. We could text, but it was multi-tap. (What's that? Ask your parents.)
SMS protocol was created in 1984, but didn't became available in Europe until 1993. By 1997 it was pretty standard for plans in Europe to treat SMS messaging as a low cost alternative to phone calls. In the US however, SMS messaging was charged at higher rates than phone minutes until around 2005-2010. This meant that this joke works really well in the US, but less well in Europe. I started a company in the US built around SMS messaging in 1997. At the time, everybody in Europe was using texting in place of phone calls, as it was much cheaper for the phone companies, and so they offered better rates. We built a marketing company that would allow customers to register for SMS based coupons or SMS exclusive deals for sports tickets. Unfortunately, we were about 10 years too early for the US market, and the company failed. It's not worth getting 10% off your Pizza Hut pizza if you have to pay $1 for the coupon to be delivered to you. I built the whole system in PERL.
We could text, it was just called a pager and we only had 10 characters. Then you had to memorize a hundred codes to figure out the message. Way more fun than what they get today.
And here I am thinking the 90's wasn't THAT long ago. My youngest (18) likes to tell me half her siblings were born in the 19 hundreds 😆.
looking for the fish she caught, was there a minute ago
Load More Replies...i am pretty sure those are not real fish, (wooden?) but i have a feeling that kid would have done the same thing even if.
Reminds of when we went ice fishing once. My little sister (3-4 then) got really attached to a dead fish and carried it around for hours until she "put him to bed" in the water before us going home.
Well....he was going to eat it anyway. May as well start now.
My family had two of them. Only my older brother turned out normal. The rest of us were weirdos.
Data from a 2020 poll by diaper-rash firm Boudreaux’s Butt Paste shows that just 12% of parents feel ready when they have their first kid, and most of you would probably agree that such a figure isn’t particularly shocking.
The idea that people can only be ready for children after checking off certain items on a checklist has been floating about for a very long time. And while it’s unquestionably true that having a degree and a stable and well-paying career, being in a secure relationship, and owning a home will allow you to handle parenthood better, there’s one aspect of this notion that is a little faulty: you will never truly be “ready” to have kids.
It's sort of similar to how you’re already considered an adult, but despite that, no matter how many birthdays pass, you simply never feel like one.
My daughter who was 3 at the time was walking up the stairs and she turns to me and says when will I get boobies like you, so I said when you get bigger. So she goes up one stairs and says they didn’t grow! I am bigger. I said you have to be bigger in age!!
So next time say "older", or say you don't need them until you have babies.
Load More Replies...Lmfao ...in her defense, if someone hadn't ever told you or explained it, just saying the word "duck" , doesn't exactly scream squat down out of the way of something coming at your head" ..ya know?
Heh, or if you are the preteen son of a contractor you hit the deck when your father yells "duck!" and then your mom busts a gut because it's a 🦆
Load More Replies...When taking my daughter to preschool one day, she became very distraught. I asked why and she replied with "where are our horses?". I told her we don't have any so why ask where? Near tears, she became very confused when she said "every day my teacher tells me to hold my horses and I don't know what to do!". 🐎😭
omg now i need the 10 year update of retelling this story to the first girlfriend.
Load More Replies...Lasagna! A kid in another post ordered vagina instead of lasagna so I think lasagna is a great replacement word now
this is going to be the most frequently told story at every thanksgiving, and he’s going to cringe so hard—
The kids, at my grandsons grade school, like to make: moaning sounds, say; penis every 5 seconds, and twerk at everything. I'm scared to take him anywhere...
He learned early on how to take care of women. Take vagina, for instance. He fed it, watered it and pet it so much that it just wanted back in it's cage. Vagina was the best hamster a young boy could have!😂😂
Load More Replies...Time will tick, and chances are that you won’t ever wake up and suddenly feel like you’re finally in the right position to tackle parenthood.
For instance, most individuals choose to delay having children until they are financially stable – however, let’s face it, there’s no such thing as “enough money,” unless you’re one of the Kardashians of course. Now, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t get prepared at all; it just means that there isn’t a clear checkpoint for that.
You can never know enough, which is another important aspect to remember. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their lives, let alone what they should be doing and/or how they should care for another human being.
Be careful where you keep the stash though, Easter bunny search reveals all your secrets
How true! Only once though, even parents can learn!

Load More Replies...My mom has a container of cat treats and three cats. When I visit, I have to be very quiet and careful about the lid or else they'll all come begging. One is chonky and on a diet, and one is just a b!+ch to the others so I don't want to give her treats. I try to just get a few to the 3rd cat 😺
I did, but then I discovered the all encompassing burger 🍔

Even a grown man like me can’t go a day without chicken tendies! Mmmmm… tendies…
To chicken tenders from the Chinese buffet.... Kids just love Chinese food. Especially the frozen pizza!
This is my 35-year-old autistic son. He's had a burger and fries in pretty much every restaurant in town! Like everything else in life, he finds what he likes and sticks with it. Comfort food.
Take my upvote please. If I could give you 100 I would
Load More Replies...We’re all learning as we go, and let’s not forget that every child is unique, so you won’t be able to find a manual that will provide you with all the advice you need to make the process smooth and easy. Do whatever you see fit, read as many guides as you want, and take however much time you need – but do it with confidence and don’t compare yourself to others.
Did you show your correct work, that got the correct answer only to find out your kids is in a "new" math class and 2 + 2 no longer equals 4, that happened to me.
Load More Replies...Even a mathematical unit like me can get rusty! You’re on your own son!
I still remember the day I realized that I was at the end of where I could continue to help and confessed that to my math major daughter. She's now a programmer with Google and... bought her old man a retirement condo.
Load More Replies...Once had a teacher do this to my then 9 year old. Upon asking around I discovered no kid in the class got the right answer. I then back tracked what the problem should've been based upon the answer she told them was correct. I then spent 30 minutes writing out a letter explaining to her how she wrote the question out wrong, her answer key must be incorrect, and that she really should check things she downloads off the internet before handing them out in class. Many sites will bork the worksheet png's because you're supposed to PAY for them. She and I did not get along. She didn't last a single year.
Mom helped me once in math and I got a 17. This was in the 70s. She never helped me again. Thank God! Haha I'm ended up being a math whiz. Guess I didn't get it from her.
You became a math whiz BECAUSE she let you figure it out on your own from the start!
Load More Replies...I remember when I was a kid my science teacher made us do wordsearches and my mom did them for me.and I remember walking into science class with a smug look on my face.
This was so Me last month. The question didn't make sense, and the usual example wasn't there to figure out what they wanted. I told my daughter what I thought it was, but told her it may be wrong. We answered the entire paper that way. She came home the next day and said the entire thing was wrong. 😢
Yes, I can tell them apart. How? I’m their mom… (One twin has a giant magic marker “X” on their chest…)
My cousin had twins so identical that they put a temporary tattoo one one baby, to tell them apart.
Load More Replies...Wish I had thought of this when mine were babies!!! I always got asked if I they were identical even tho they were boy/girl 😳🙄🤣
My niece and nephew are twins and it's like a magical word. Baby? Cool, gonna need some info. Twins?! Gonna need all the infos ever.
My girls are 18 and we still get all the questions when we go basically anywhere

People are just trying to be friendly. Use it as a teaching moment for your kids and answer nicely!
Load More Replies...My grandma used to paint one of our pinky toe nails for the first year of our lives so that she could tell us apart. Lol
I'm scared that if I ever have kids and they are twins, I name them and then get the names mixed up and "Amanda" was supposed to be Elizabeth and "Elizabeth" was supposed to be Amanda.
My aunt is pretty sure she did this with my cousins.

DID. NOT. TOUCH. YOU.” “YES. YOU. DID!” Growing up with siblings
Load More Replies...At one point in Disneyland, while using the restroom, I overheard a father talking his small child through the bathroom process. Everything was going so well, he had that calm, almost sing-song parenting voice...until suddenly, I hear frantic yelling of "No! No! Don't touch that with your penis!" Because that's the stuff parenting books never prepare you for
I had my cousin and her family over for a BBQ and their toddler came up to where I was cooking and looked like he was about to touch the BBQ lid, which was very hot. I don't have kids and don't spend a lot of time around kids so I didn't know any better. Instead of grabbing him and moving him away I just said "Don't touch that!" Thinking he'd listen. He was obviously at a stage of development where he was being defiant because he just scowled at me and quickly put his hand on it. He started screaming and his parents quickly stopped what they were doing and rushed over. He had to go to A&E (Emergency room) but luckily no lasting damage. I was a nervous wreck after that, anytime someone with kids visited, and I made sure to warn them that my house is not child friendly and I am not a 'kid person' so you better keep an eye on your offspring at all times.
Load More Replies...Grandson, 14mo, recently started doing this. I laughed when my son complained!
Kids, no matter their age, like to look at you as if you were stupid.
Bored Panda hopes that you’ve enjoyed this humorous yet very relatable ensemble of parenthood memes! Give Ilana a follow and don’t forget to let us know which post resonated with you the most.
That's funny. And true. I have so many younger cousins, and can vouch that there is plenty of screaming.
Look in your kids room the missing bowl is under the bed or in the closet
My daughter loves drawing and wants to be a tattoo artist. So I let her draw on me. And to challenge her, ill find a picture on my phone, she'll suggest the body part itd go best on, and she draws it as best she can. I've had temporary tattoos by her hand on my legs, back, arms, even one on my face (I'm self employed, so I just took 2 days off).
That's what i did with my ex gf's daughter! She used to make me a sleeve or 'retouch' my tattoos, she loved it, we spend time together and have a rest at the same time
Load More Replies...Congrats on finding an activity your son enjoys and you find relaxing at the same time!
lol and if they're like me, they're like, "oh yeah, drive over that spot again!" "my shoulders are mountains, do you think your car can make it over the mountains?! and back... and forth... and back..."
I let my brother do this to me, so long as he didn't do it too hard. He's only 4 yrs younger than me.
This was always fun until someone decided to crash into the back of your skull.
Spend months teaching them to walk and talk, then years telling them to sit down and be quiet.
Oh boy. I heard this joke before I became a parent. Now it's not a joke. My son didn't really talk until he was about 3. He's 4 now and he NEVER. SHUTS. UP.

And you don't have TIME to make coffee. OR wash cups!
Load More Replies...My daughter went from crawling for one week and just decided walking was faster and she started walking at 10 months old. Sleeping from 9 pm until 7 pm since I had her. But didn’t take naps after 6 months old!! Exhausting but they are worth it.
My son was 10 lb 6 oz at birth, and stayed chonky until about 2 years old. He was so chonky that he didn't walk until he was 16 months old, and when starting out, was pushing a kitchen chair in front of him like a walker. He finally "grew into himself" around 2 years old, probably from walking, and "slimmed down" to normal percentiles for height, weight, and age.
Load More Replies...When my now 5 year old was a baby I could put her in the pack and play she'd be happy & the house was clean; now I worry I'm about to be on the next episode of hoarders
Grandson, 14mo, started walking about 3 months ago. Nothing is safe anymore! 😆
There will be Summer Camps again, never fear. Just be a bit later that they get to re-unite their parents.

Don't worry, soon EVERYTHING will be a "f*****g crisis"
But remember, dear kids out there: he who smiles in crisis has found someone to blame.
Load More Replies...One time I was changing my son’s nappy, he exclaimed “Oh that’s a f*****g big poo”
When daycare started getting on me for the things my son was saying, I invented a whole new way of cursing. They couldn't say much to me if he called someone a "sucking aardvark."
When he's older, he will learn everything outside the bed then becomes the actual crisis. The bed is safe, stay in bed.
I remember when my 4yo daughter learned a new word. She was jumping on the bed for a full minute hollering the single word s**t. My wife and I looked at each other and decided not to intervene. Luckily, she didn't say it for years after that. And it makes a great family story!
one day that kid will reminisce about the days when everything was a f*****g crisis
Years ago on a trip to bass pro, I left my wife and eldest (then only, ~3-4 years) at the boats to go look at something. Apparently my son, who is also a burrowing creature of some sort, got past his mother and into the deck storage of a party barge. She said it was like whack-a-mole. He would just appear and then go down and pop up somewhere else. All fine and dandy until he asked “ is this where I go to the bathroom?” Thankfully he didn’t soil a boat.
Or wait until they realize they can pee in the vent and make the whole house smell!!
His fingers are bent into the carpet. At first I thought it was a plastic hand
Yeah, there's something odd about that hand. Maybe there just happened to be a doll's arm on the floor behind? Or it's really bad photoshop? Seriously, both arms are kind of alarming!
Load More Replies...Thats why I always bring my phone to the bathroom- not because of my kid, but because I ALWAYS have someone around. Neighbor visiting, mom is over for a few minutes (hours), wife is home, kid is coming home. Its not hectic, but never having a breath without sharing the room is tiresome.
actually my errands are more fun with the kids because we encourage each other to buy s**t we do not need.
Very true. As I was putting my toddler in the car after seeing my rheumatologist. He asked if we were going shopping, his favorite. So we wander target and got starbucks. Otherwise we were just coming home to nap.
Load More Replies...And then there are the times Friend: Are you coming to our drink till you puke Bash followed immediately after by the one chip challenge Parents: darn our sitters out if town that week, oh darn our relatives are sick so there is no one to watch the kids. Too bad. Then they go home and treat their kids to ice cream for saving them from that misery. No they never tell thier kids why they are being treated..
This is SOOOO me!!!! I love being able to listen to MY music and sing without being shushed!!😆😆😆
Yep, you know you have kids when going on errands alone equates to the luxury of spending time with yourself.
Add the husband staying home and start the playlist! First stop, Starbucks, then, who cares?

Oh man and all the paperwork!! Newsletters!! Fund raising!! .. jeez!!
No kidding. My daughters school has had 9 fundraisers this year alone. I mean bake sales, cookie sales, the typical "if you sell 1000 boxes, you get a [brand new gaming system]!"
Load More Replies...To think there was a time before emails. My brother used to put letters in his pocket, and leave them there for my Mum to find when she washed his jacket, and the event was over and finished.
Most of my kids have graduated and I'm still getting emails from the junior high...
And when you're on the other side of this you have to field all the phone calls or approaches in the playground from irate parents demanding to know why they haven't been told and what do you mean you sent a letter, an email and a text reminder, *they* never got any of them!
Yes! I work at a school, we have 5 full time employees whose jobs revolve around parent and community outreach. I've had to help them with phone calls, I apologize to every parent for yet another call. I'm also a parent in my district, I blocked the school number and email account. My kid knows to call from her phone, or dial my extension if they actually need me.
We have missed two skate parties that came out of the blue but we're apparently mentioned in a newsletter.
Perhaps just occasionally check if i have enough wine thank you very much
Wow looking at this pic makes me realize my parents are probably happy with just having me. I was more than enough
On the bright side the kids make an excellent excuse to avoid unwanted social obligations.
This is a painful trigger of a picture. Comlete with Guitar and kids standing on the counter...I. just. Can't. Even.... mid life crisis starting Wednesday.
Four is quite the challenge (I have three). A situation like this just suddenly happens, you don't see it coming and it takes years to reverse!

The exclamation mark looked like a number one so I thought your parents kept the artwork from 6 months to 81, lol!
Load More Replies...Be careful what you wish for, kids can generate reams of drawings - LoL!
Load More Replies...My nephews love to send me pictures that they have drawn or colored. I bought a plastic box that I put them in when I take them off the refrigerator. When the box gets full the boys tell me which ones they want me to keep and which ones they want me to throw away. The others are thrown out. When the box gets full of newer drawings the boys and I go through it again. This way I get there artwork and can enjoy it we keep what they want me to keep and throw away what they're okay with me throwing out. It works out really great sometimes something they want me to keep 6 months ago is fine for me to throw out now.
I just let it fall of the fridge after about a week and sneak it into the trashcan.
I kept an origami fish that my daughter made in second grade...she's now 41 and a mom of 3 teenagers!
When she was very young, my daughter played on a soccer team. During one cold, rainy game we all just wanted to go home. At one point my daughter, who had no interest in the game, had the ball coming in her direction. She ran and wound up executing a perfect heading and the crowd of parents cheered. Some came over and commented on how amazing it was. My husband bent down and quietly said "You know she was actually trying to get away from the ball." I said "I know." Then we continued to smile and clap.
How about just letting kid enjoy the game, or if they're not good at sports stop forcing them to play and let them do something they enjoy.
How about just letting the kids play the game and have fun? Or if they're not good at sports don't force them to play and let them do what they enjoy?

Off topic but... all I can think of here is "Don't move! He can't see us if we don't move."
I had so much fun with the Santa story as a child. I weep for you people.
Load More Replies...When this happened, I told my kids that the population explosion of the early twentieth century made it impossible for Santa to float the entire cost of providing toys to the world's population of children, therefore placing part of the financial responsibility upon the parents of said children. Worked like a charm.
Try this: When Santa first started visiting kids around the world, there were not as many as there are now. As the years went by, more and more kids were born and Santa struggled to make the toys in time for Christmas. One year many parents were woken by his visit which was unusual and noticed how worn out he looked. That Boxing Day, while drinking his hot chocolate, Santa received letters from parents around the world saying: Dear Santa, As amazing as you are we have noticed you are struggling to make everyone happy, and it is harming your health. We aim to help by reducing your work load by sending you the gifts to give the children. Your friend Timmy (thank you for my bike in 1988) That's why Santa delivers presents bought by parents. The parents are helping him as a thank you for his kindness
We were comfortably well off in a very low income area of Boston. I told my kids we had to pay Santa for their gifts. . it worked perfectly to keep down the "gummies"
"Santa represents the spirit of giving." I've used this for my kids' entire lives. I couldn't get behind straight up lying but wanted to give them the magic for a while...
It would be weird otherwise with that nickname

Fight or flight. You psyche yourself up about the kids then stress yourself out about it. Your body won't LET you sleep as it feels an imminent threat to your wellbeing. Thats fight or flight.
Nia! Why are you asleep? Eyes pop open, and I can't hardly focus. I'm not! I only closed my eyes, and listening.
Once, when I was a kid, Mum tried to get me to take a nap (Heaven knows why because I'd long since outgrown naps; I suppose she didn't want me to get in the way or something) so she lay down next to me. *She* fell asleep and I got bored and walked off.
This has happened to me numerous times, I'm the mom. And the reason I try to get my kids to take a nap, is because I am so freckin tired. I will never learn and we'll continue the habit of my kids making me take a nap.

Unless you work in a retail store that has a toy section.
Load More Replies...Agreed. As a teen during covid, homeschooling was the lowest i have ever felt. I wanted to give up on life entirely. I get that the parents had to suffer too, but they weren't the only ones

I thought, I was going to get to be the one on the outside looking in, after I raised my kids. No, I'm now even more stressed out taking care of my daughter's boys ..
A tad schadenfreude, aren't we? (I am including myself. My child was only in preschool during the pandemic so we were spared distance "learning".)
Its impossible to get right because its constantly changing year by year and day by day. But what you can do is ensure that you are always available to talk. Who cares if you're 5 minutes late to that meeting, your kid is at their wits end. Leave now and you might not have a kid to come home to.
Love is shown, not spoken, so they know exactly how much you do or don't love them.
Unless you are a stay at home Mom then work and Motherhood are the same thing.
Now I feel THIS. Except without pay (unless hugs and kisses count. I think they do.)
Load More Replies...As an introvert w/ a Borderline & Narcissistic Personality Disorder mom, I *loved* when she was out! Pure peace & bliss, as a a home environment SHOULD be. Just wanted to mention this as an FYI for those who don’t know that not all kids miss their moms. I’m turning 48 this month, and I’ve never once missed her—not then, not now. 🚫 🥰
She doesn't even KNOW what a woman is - she's brain dead - but most lib/tard/dem/commies are
Same with siblings. When my siblings went to bed it was game time. You get to eat all the snacks they want to eat just because you could.
As a youngest child, this just proves that our deep seeded FOMO is legitimate!!! You did get to watch those tv shows! You got to have more snacks/desserts!!
Load More Replies...Unless your kids played hide and seek earlier and found your stash first
I feel this, but my kids just don't sleep. By the time I've ran the nightly 5k trying to get them to bed, I'm just too tired to even bother. Now I've got a perpetual hidden tub of freezer burnt Ben and Jerry's.
I remember going to bed and then hearing my parents make popcorn. Oh, the betrayal
I always lie and say we are out of popcorn and eat it when the kids are asleep. Hoping they don't find my stash. But it is just so annoying fighting with the 2 year old who doesn't get he can't eat all the foods his siblings do.

Me, going to my hiding place, shutting the door, or trying to be extra quiet while I unwrap it. Tuck it under my sleeve, or hide it behind something. Go sit down in the couch, and think I'm going to nibble on it. Nope.. kids start to wander over. It gets crammed in my mouth...
Aye. Dsughter frosted pre-made cookies with a friend yesterday. Guess who got the dad tax after she went to sleep?
Not sure what this one has to do with parenthood, since kids aren't mentioned, and yes, those of us who do not have children DO shop at Target.
Depends on the goal and budget. This is better than an inflatable pool with 6 inches of water, but I'd rather an in ground pool where you can actually swim over this.

And then you have to keep changing the water cause they get in and out.
Public hot tubs are really kinda gross. It's like no, I don't want to hop into a big bowl of Other People Soup.
No but this is so smart because you save water, your kids get their own space, and you can repurpose the buckets as needed
My brother and I did this with these exact buckets and it was just as fun!!!
Works on Alexa, I suggest to not try it, she shouted at me at 3:23 not pleasant..

Load More Replies...No Halloween. My city hasn't outright banned it, but they've added "safety checks" for the virus (ensuring that those who participate wear masks and pay fines if not). The sole exception are trunk or treats put on my government entities, such as the fire and police departments. And since those are stupid, I instead introduced my kid to the world of cosplay. And now everyday gets the thrill of dressing up.
I don't mean to sound creepy, but where do you happen to live? Here it's like covid never existed, and they can't legally force us to wear masks anymore. Texas is dumb lol
Load More Replies...I never understood much about boy bands, or why people obsess over them. Like, they are just people who sing songs with their bros..?
well yeah they sing, but also rap and dance and often act, do interviews, and have to live up to really high beauty standards. also most are at least bilingual or even multilingual. plus they train for often years before debut in singing, dancing, rap, etc. So if you think about it, they're generally super talented
Load More Replies...Ha! I'm the one that discovered BTS and introduced it to my kids and now they're both fans.
i'm sorry but those BTS boys ARE really something whether you have kids or don't have kids or are a kid or was once a kid. they just actually really are.
I hated boy bands with a passion when I was in middle school back in the 90s, but I was deep in denial/the closet so I had to pretend I knew the difference between N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, and 98 degrees. I didnt. They all looked the same and sounded the same. I finally picked Hanson as a favorite even though I was apathetic about their music because their songs were easily identifiable as theirs, and they looked like cute girls but it was still socially acceptable to like them. I also remember being a young adult and thinking Bieber was an adorable baby lesbian, then being disappointed when it was just another dude with a trendy lesbian haircut.
OMG that was 2018 and since then I've fallen down the rabbithole of Kpop. It has been a wonderful way to keep a close relationship with my teen daughter, though - driving 500 miles to see MonstaX, watching Chan's Room (Stray Kids) on Vlive together, listening to Yoongi's new collab, squealing together over G-Dragon's new Vogue shoot...thank you BTS, you were my gateway Kpop
I’m 77 yo and love Kpop! I watch Stray Kids over and over, BTS occasionally, ATEEZ when they put out something new. I still like most 1st, 2nd and 3rd groups and I’m looking forward to &TEAM when they debut in December! My granddaughter introduced me to Kdramas, Kpop and Jpop and I thank her every week.

Not sure how this is parenting, unless I'm missing something?
It is a character from a children's book series. She is very literal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Bedelia_(book)
I wanna say its a joke like dirnks r ON u tonight.... but wut
Amelia Bedelia is a children's book so I guess the person had that on their mind from reading to the kids; the character takes everything literally
Load More Replies...I forgot about Amelia Bedelia! Loved her books when I was a kid!
Amelia Bedelia is a book character who took everything VERY literally so when he said "drinks are on me" she made sure the drink was ON him
My mom told us we were not allowed to play that anymore. (cause we were too "loud") EDIT: Why are people being so mean about my grammar. Grammar is not my strong suit, so why judge me? I say the word "cause", because I was raised with that word. I see nothing wrong. And what good does being mean do? And just know that some people don't take bullying well. I have been bullied practically my whole life, and I will not let it continue. It helps nobody. Also @gas station cola, if you are so concerned about grammar why don't you become a grammar teacher, maybe fix your first letters of your username to a capital letters.
F**k those m***********s, you are just fine! I am a teacher who abhors bullying and they can shut the f**k up.
Load More Replies...You can hear my grandsons outside when they play Roblox together!! I live in an old apartment building, with zero insulation. My neighbors, think I'm beating them, and calls the landlord, EVERY TIME!
wow some people really got nasty here. Just remember this place is not to judge, so relax share a joke or two and move on.
Yes, but my kids come in every 30 seconds saying, "Mom! See what I did?"
Watching Roblox is the worst parental job. Somehow just glancing at it makes me angry 😆. I cannot explain this
It does the same to me and then I get a migraine & vertigo
Load More Replies...Yes. When did this become a thing? 190% positive if I asked either of my parents to "watch me play my Gameboy" it would have gone out the window. Also impossible for more than one person to see the screen.
This is also me when my bf wants to show me something on Elder Scrolls. I play too, but he loves showing off his houses 🥴
These are so true!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t have kids but I have three siblings and I’m the oldest so yeah.
i consumed an entire box of my sister's crayons
