30 Top Parenting Posts From This Month That Will Leave You In Stitches

After recently reading a crime book in which kidnappers used to kidnap kids from theme parks (because they figured that anyone seeing a grownup carrying a screaming kid will feel pity thinking it is a parent just trying to go home) I kinda understand the people calling though, I get that it sucks but kinda at the same time it brings me joy that people are reacting, if it makes sense

"I tried to return him but Target wouldn't accept the return."

That was once carrying my sleeping child, we were walking on a hike and she had fallen asleep, it was sort of a woodsy area so off on your own with the kid, I guess I could have looked suspicious. As I was coming out toward the road, passing police officer saw me and stopped. He forced me to wake the kid up so that she could say that I was the father, because they didn't have any other way to prove that it was my kid. The whole situation was very upsetting for me.

This kind of thing amazes me because when I hear screaming kids I go in the opposite direction as fast as I can and do not look at them.

So....Dad got the break

Mine still doesn’t allow me to have feelings 😅 when I try to talk to her about childhood trauma , it’s always “what trauma !?! You don’t know what you’re talking about ?” “That never happened” “you’re hurting MY feelings by saying that”

Yes, my own parents were so strict about technology, I wasn't allowed an iPad of my own before I was over 30! (Somehow they convinced Steve Jobs to not invent the thing before)

I dunno, one of the most intense argument I've had, not counting with my boyfriend or parents, was about pillows with my adult classmates. Basically it was if decorative pillows can be usable pillows and vice versa.

aren't we all just some stupid and silly being 😂!?

I can see my grandson doing something similar. That boy is always scheming, except when he's negotiating.

My 3rd nephew came into my room and said "I have a plan" don't know if I should laugh or be worried lol 😆

Well.. * clicks pen*

"Ask me on August 24th"

My grandson was trying to ask Alexa to play a song he loves, which was actually the radio in my 2001 car made before touch screens with on demand music, and I had to explain the same.

I can remember going home from work or school thinking "Yeah, Seinfeld(or MASH or WKRP etc) are on tonight and feeling excited. On demand is great but sometimes I miss that.

I feel this way talking to my 21 year old and 28 year old lol

I still remember walking past an elementary school when they were on recess. I heard a little girl, maybe 6 or 7, cute as a button, yelling at the top of her lungs "SCOTT DAVIS CHUCKS BOY'S ROCKS!!! She didn't say chucks or rocks if you know what I mean.

This is amazing. If I was that mom I'd pee my panty liner laughing.

We recently moved and had to change schools. When we were touring some schools we went to one that advertised 'progressive and innovative learning modules'. Literally every kid in every class across the whole school was plugged into a device with earphones on while the teacher sat at their desk. It was eerie and unnatural. We did not choose that school.

It's almost like having lots info of info on a Chromebook, with some sites blocked, where it's also easier to write and turn in stuff, is better than paper

Maybe it isn't the amount of screen time, maybe it's what is on the screen.

My mom caught me eating cake for breakfast once and asked me if I was crazy. I pointed out that the stuff she would have made for breakfast was in the cake (except bacon). We enjoyed a big slab of chocolate cake for breakfast together. I miss my mom.

Cake is important!

I saw a documentary about the intelligence of apes. In one part, they made a puzzle box. There were extra levers that weren't necessary. They wanted to compare the learning ability of a human child and great apes. So the adult would show the child all of the steps to get the prize. Every child copied the steps, including the unnecessary ones. When they showed the apes the same box, and the same steps, the apes all performed only the steps that were necessary to get the prize.
