Every parent wants their kids to regard them with love, respect and admiration. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, your little bundle of joy is going to think you're an asshole. It's inevitable. The only question is why. And as you can see from these pictures found on a hilarious Instagram account called - you guessed it - assholeparents, kids are likely to hate you for the most unexpected of reasons. Can't grow bananas in the garden? You're an asshole. Won't let your kid eat your deodorant? Asshole. Can't make the waves stop? Major asshole. Whoever said that parenting was easy? Oh, that's right. Nobody.

I hated that as a child too. But not because I thought I wouldn't get my nose back but because I thought it was a lame joke and everybody I ever met as a child tried it on me.

Fast-forward 20 years, this same scene plays out when the bartender asks if he wants foreign or domestic beer. :-)
