Being a parent is hard, but being a parent to a kid who is on the phone 24/7, talks in #hashtags and was born into the world of selfies and social media, is something else. That's when you know you have to be super creative to make them do their chores - just telling them to tidy their room won't do. Bored Panda has collected funny yet genius parenting hacks that will make you wonder how you lived without them.

How do you make your kids do their chores? Share your parenting tricks with us in the comments or by uploading a picture.

If her mother wonders from where her daughter picked up bullying, she has only to look in a mirror. Go ahead and sell her phone, but public shaming is just as bad as the daughter's bullying - even worse, because parents should know better.

What's the big idea? If you sit two children in the back of a car, it's not like they automatically get along because they cannot get away from each other. I would have gotten so pissed, if my parents had made me wear such a thing, and I am perfectly certain it wouldn't have solved the disagreement.

Not cool! You should teach them that when you don't get along you stay away from each other until you're ready.

😮 I had to do this with my siblings growing up! It was awful at first but then we would have fun with it. Did any one else have to do this?

I never had to since my parents didn't start doing to until recently but my mom would make me and my brother hold hands until we could get along. So very similar. And we also hated it and we'd fuss and fight more afterwards to show mom it didn't work. it never changed her mind but eventually we changed ours and it became a game to see who could go to the side of the house that they wanted 🤣

Wait! Did you see that the boy had a yellow eye? I've heard that it's a sign of eye disease. Anyone saw that too?

It's the flare of the camera flash. The boy likely has blue eyes, and the camera flash gives a red eye effect.

The next time you are angry because someone tailgaited you, I propose you use the same T-Shirt in a larger version and see what happens between him/her and you.

Forcing anybody to be that close to each other is mean. Plus it's humiliating. If my kids can't get along I'll separate them and tell them to stay out of each other's way until they are ready to get along. And yes, if my toddler throws a fit at the grocery store I will let him scream rather than give in to his demands. It's called parenting.

If you're old enough to go to a bar, shouldn't you be able to replace your own phone instead of asking your mom for a replacement?

Will dad also wear dresses and skirts? Let the girl wear what she wants and teach her that her attitude towards herself and others matters more than a piece of fabric.

I'm sure this is not the first replacement they've purchased. Probably more like the 10th from the tone.

This is stupid. Never deprive your kids of a safe home. Locking them out only teaches them that you're a s****y parent who they cannot depend on. Posting a photo publicly only proves that point.

Yes, it is sad that teens post this kind of thing, and that is what social media is encouraging, but if you look at what part of her face is showing, she looks so sad. Parents, your kids will make mistakes, and some of them will be worse then others but DO NOT shame them on the internet or in front of people, it will make them hate you and go against your wishes just to spite you.

Why people are so butthurt over shorts? It is piece of clothing and is meant to be worn.
