"Being a parent is tough." We've all heard it, but realize what it really means only later in life. Either when we grow up or when we have some little ones of our own. We finally understand the sacrifices they make, the sleepless nights, the worrying, the amount of patience that one needs to have to raise a child.

But sometimes parenting can be just absurdly comical. Kids sometimes really do the darndest things. In these situations, you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Bored Panda has scoured the vast sea of parenting content to bring you this list. These parents may not be having the best day, but they may certainly lighten up yours.

    My elderly neighbors toilet was overflowing. The landlord came and pulled the toilet out and was working on the toilet in the yard. She had the stomach flu 6 days earlier. She vomited in the toilet an her dentures eventually got wedged in the trap. He got them out...she wanted them back. There is just not enough bleach in the world.

    My grands hate me, I'm telling them to do/not do stuff constantly. The youngest has mastered the disdainful glare.

    We named this list "Parenting Failures", but it's more about the realities of being a parent than the failures. It's important to know the difference between rough patches every parent feels and actual parental failure. Ashley Hudson LMFT explains that difference on her blog.

    "Parental failure is when a parent causes significant trauma and/or physical or emotional damage to their child through their parenting style," she writes. "This could be in the form of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and/or when parents are involved in substances or violence that is affecting their parenting."

    6 years ago I was working on a project in the living room. My supplies were sitting on a foam board which overhung the coffee table by about 6 inches. Enter : the cat. Jumps up on the table, misses the table, hits the foam board with an open container of glitter. Enter : me, coming out of the bathroom just in time to witness it all and enjoy the snowstorm of glitter in my living room. It was quite pretty, for a moment. Still finding that stuff in the strangest spots throughout the house.

    What most parents mean when they say they think they're failing as parents is just stress and weariness talking. Hudson writes that it's a response to a stressful event, several days, weeks or months. True parental failure has serious long-term repercussions for the child.

    One of the reasons parents feel this way is because they feel too much pressure. Either from the outside or from themselves. Tia Slightham, M Ed. and Parenting Coach writes that parents desperately want to feel they are enough. Not messing up their kids, doing the right things as a parent. But the truth is, according to her, "if you love your kids, you're trying your best and you keep trying to learn," that's enough.

    My preteen and I are reading a book series where dragons are the main characters. It gets pretty violent, and since this was the first time we'd read a violent thing together, I tried to reason "Well they ARE dragons, not humans, so it's less of an issue because dragons are naturally going to be violent creatures." My kid side-eyed me and stated "Yeah, but it was written by a human, and the dragons all act and think like humans, so it's REALLY not that different, mom." ... ok... fine, be all logical. it's a really good series and we've both been enjoying them.

    Ashley Hudson narrows down the things that might make one feel like a failing parent. Most parents, according to her, feel they have too little patience while disciplining. Others panic when they don't feel control over tantrums, rebellions and defiant behavior. First-time parents have it the worst – they simply haven't had the experience.

    My kid did this when he was 3! Daycare called me and explained how they had to "evacuate" everyone and "decontaminate the structure". Should he have done it? No. Was he the only one on the toy when he did it? Yes.

    Grammar correct the school. If he climbed the structure he had to urinate off it so the words "off of it" are redundant and should be left out.

    A Certified Positive Discipline Educator and Life Coach for Parents Adrienne Bishop writes that these feelings of failure also stem from the fact that parents have no control over kids. "The fact is, our children have agency, which means they have the ability to make their own choices. No matter what you want your child to do, they ultimately have the final say."

    Bishop writes that when parents think they're failing, they're blaming themselves for their kids' actions. "We try to control our kids’ behavior in order for us to feel better," she claims. "But since it is impossible to control others' behavior, we consistently struggle to feel good, and to not feel like failures, and then as a result we give our power over to our kids and become their victims."

There's no point in trying to scoop up and around the handtamination and buy the bag, since you can't be %100 sure you got everything.

    The educator recommends redirecting thoughts since they are one thing parents can control. Instead of thinking "I have failed my child" or "She will always eat this way" try to think: "I am learning how to help my child make better food choices." Bishop writes: "After I work on changing my thoughts, I can start taking steps to set limits and expectations from a place of acceptance and peace and not blame or overwhelm."

    Is this better or worse than "ok?" Because it sounds funny and low effort, and the kid is eating. Sometimes it's okay to just let kids do their own thing.

    Secondly, Slightham advises to learn to walk away. Parents can avoid unwanted outbursts of anger and frustration if they try counting to ten. "Learn from your mistakes and next time try your best to walk away before you open your mouth and yell, give empty threats or say something you regret," she writes in her blog.

    The first few times you attempt to cut your own bangs always leave them longer than you think you're going to want, or you're most likely going to end up cutting them too short.

    So nobody here ever took a random handful of their hair and cut it off when they were a small kid? There’s a reason I suddenly had a pixie in third grade. I had cut both my ponytails off and pixie length was all that was left.

    Her last tip is to document one good thing you did each day – doesn't matter how small. "Maybe you and your child had an amazing snuggle and book time before bed. You were able to connect during a board game. You kindly asked your child to brush their teeth instead of harping them." Slightham lists all these strategies as examples.

    I don't know. I have the feeling that sometimes things are just particularly exciting and attractive that you're not allowed to have. There are plastic scissors that you can use to cut paper but not fabric or skin. (Great for crafting and practising together.) And you can also explain to a two-year-old child why you're not allowed to do certain things.

    Oh noooo! At least with this type you can re-sprout the cuttings... I'm sure you had a good talk with them, and it won't happen again. I like your flooring! I also like how people are talking like you basically left these scissors on your kid's night stand as though they can't climb a counter in the second you take to turn and throw something in the garbage. So judgy. 4 is old enough for a parent to get a bit of extra sleep in the morning; They will absolutely come find you in those extra 10 blissful minutes of sleep you've managed to claw back from when they were toddlers and infants.

    You can save them, but it's a lot of work. Side a small knife in to life up the piece that fits into the grooves and you can pull it back. Engineering on a budget!

    There's a fix for it - get a strong sewing pin or a fine awl and use the point to hold up the flap of the ratchet while you draw out the tail - good as new so long as you don't deform the ratchet by too much pressure on it!

    If it's sharpie, you can just use an ethanol alchohol-based hand sanitizer to wipe it off. Worked at a book store where we'd get in orders of deep discount books the sellers thought ought to have a sharpie mark across the covers of. We'd used alchohol based hand santiizer because it was just strong enough to lift the all the ink without seriously drying our hands out like a rubbing alchohol would. Please don't throw out your monitor just because there's marker on it.

    AH, NO, don't use acetone or anything ethanol based!!! This can cause hazing, possibly even cracking of the screen. Do grab a lint-free microfiber wash cloth/towel and soak a corner in 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). On one small corner gently rub to see if the marker will come out. That is the best bet. Also, don't leave anything lying around with kids. Seriously. Don't have furniture, loose bits of anything, unsecured cabinets/doors, lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She just meant to drive ahead of it in my lane, so it wasn't directly beside us. "That's not what you said," I told her. She just shook her head.

    Try going over it with a WARM (not hot) iron, with a cloth between the iron and the couch arm.

    To be honest, some of those carton designs could defeat a fully-equipped battalion of Seabees.

    Nothing to do with parenting, but, why write "gluten free" on a carton of milk?

    Do you think that maybe not letting them have BB guns might have avoided this? But no, guns don't kill (windows), people (kids) kill (windows).

    Our window shattered like this all on its own with a massive POP. We'd been having a not-uncommon wind storm. The window guy told us it can sometimes take the most minor defect in the glass to cause it to happen... so even if a BB had hit the window but not shattered it right then, there's a good chance it could do enough to make it shatter later. Hopefully the kids have been given clearer instructions about not ever shooting toward houses...

    What the hell kinda BB guns are those with pressure like that? Anything over .5 joules is for adults only here in Germany. Our gun laws are that strict.

    A bit of education might have prevented this as well. Right now it's a good lesson.

    Dry tissues remove the wax, household multi-surface cleaner will remove any remaining color. Former teacher here.

    That didn't happen in the course of a day. It would take a 3" hose & vacuum pump to drain that pool that rapidly.
