If you have kids, you know the many delights and headaches of parenthood. Sometimes the kids might be adorable angels descended from heavens, but more often you'd like to scream on them for being little brats. Everybody knows that screaming and anger doesn't solve any problems, so leaving a passive-aggressive, yet funny message scolding or instructing your dinky devil might be the best solution.
From hilarious texts from mom with directives for that day's WiFi password to funny letters from dads and the greatest parenting memes, this list has it all. Keep on scrolling to take a look at a list of hilarious notes that parents left for their kids compiled by Bored Panda; we are sure that's parenting done right! They're bound to make you laugh, or at least put a smile on your face! Feel free to add your own funny notes or parent memes as well.

I'm Happy That You're Trying To Help
Kalikima 9 years ago
I had knee surgery and my MIL brought me a pot of fake flowers (I have a black thumb) that no one could tell were fake! When I got back to work, I was in charge of my own lab, which for obvious reasons no live plants. So I took that to work, so it would be a little less sterile. But then I was asked everyday, at least once, how they grow in the lab and go to smell them before realizing it was fake. That was 14 yrs ago, and they are looking pretty good. They need a good dusting, but otherwise you still wouldn't know.

A lot of these arent "cute" or "funny". Whats funny about leaving a note with "f**k off" for your children? It doesnt matter if they are teenagers you dont say or write it to your children, and with writing there is no excuse for being in the heat of a moment. Also the one with fat shaming? You can stop buying sweets or pack veggies for lunch without it

Proper families don't live in homes where passive-aggressive notes are left instead of face to face talking and shared meals. These are just one or two breeders who happen to share a house, not a home, with their offspring and only provide for them and clear up after them. No different to housemates who were strangers to each other before they moved in and only happen to live under the same roof.

How about talking face to face with your children instead of leaving passive-aggressive notes or do these families rarely meet in their homes and are in and out at different times with no shared meals. Way to train a kid to communicate with housemates and colleagues in the future. My response is to tear up any passive-aggressive note in front of the perpetrator and leave them to tidy up the ripped up paper. I'd rather be spoken to and given a right to reply.
Georgia Stergiadis 9 years ago
I do agree with you on that, but also, what if the kids are asleep and the parents have to step out for a while? Also, what if the parents can't reach their kids via phone call or text? The last resort would be to leave a sticky note. I used to do this all the time for my parents when I didn't have a mobile phone because as a teenager, I was not allowed to have one. My parents were very strict.

Hello! We are a music production company and we have written and produced a vast amount of children's songs, e.g. for THE SMURFS, PADDINGTON BEAR, RUPERT BEAR, BABAR, SPOT, TROLLS, DINOSAURS, etc. etc. I've attached some info on our company, Sunroof Music. A few weeks ago, we started our own YouTube channel, KIDZMIXFLIX (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOibz8_iVyxgcxi45ikvTew), as we wanted to share our first music videos to the world. We are now uploading DINOMIX, 12 clips about the history of the dinosaurs with in between each song a semi-educational explanation about the dinosaur in the next song. Also attached some DINOMIX info. Once DINOMIX is completely uploadied, we'll start releasing ANIMAL MIX, part 1, A JUNGLE PARTY, 13 episodes, with lots more to follow! I know that we need hundreds of thousands of subscribers (by the way, my congratulations to you for doing so incredibly well!!) and I understand that we have to look for sites, blogs, channels, mums, dads, grandparents and
