My niece and nephew are perfect little angels when they are their friends place, they only show their true beautiful, screaming and complaining selfsfor family lol.
That just shows that they feel comfortable, safe and loved at home. Otherwise they would not show their ugly sides.
Load More Replies...I don't remember any rule that says "favorite child" HAS to be yours...
LOL. love that, I wish mine would do the same! Thanks Nick (https://40nowwhat.co/)
When I was teaching nursery school, I had a parent teacher conference and told the parents how good their child was, they got really mad at me, saying I I really should know what child I was talking about. They were so surprised that I was talking about their kid
lol. I can remember my mum getting angry at me because my friends' mums said I was so polite and well behaved at their house but I was a little s**t at home.
To be fair, my kid's attention span is less than a fruit fly's. And if I pour out all the Lego, someone better play with the Lego.
Hahahaha! That's like realizing you've been watching Sesame Street by yourself for 20 minutes.
There are plenty of ways how kids can put a smile on their parents' faces. Talya Stone, a former public relations specialist turned blogger and the woman behind online journals Motherhood: The Real Deal and 40 Now What, finds humor in her children's actions as well as words.
"They never fail to delight with the hilarious things they say or do, which if we did as adults would probably have us locked away in some sort of facility!" she told Bored Panda.
You are the victim of the Mother's Curse - "I hope you have kids who are just as ornery as YOU are!"
Oh your mom said that too huh? Mine's other favorite line was "Now I know why some animals eat their young"
Load More Replies...My sister complains about her child's attitude to me... I just keep telling her it's because they are related.
Oh, my Mother's curse worked wonderfully on my 4 sons...9 grandkids... My boys still curse me bestowing it on them...
A few months ago, young children's ability to laugh and make jokes has been mapped by age for the first time using data from a new study involving nearly 700 children from birth to four years of age.
The findings, discovered by University of Bristol researchers and published in Behavior Research Methods, identify the earliest age humor emerges and how it typically builds in the first years of life.
Embarrassment is defined as a feeling of self-consciousness, shame, or awkwardness. No one even has to be in the room for a teenager to feel that way. Those new hormones are telling us we need to fix something to be attractive and we haven't learned yet how to recognize cause, effect, and validity. A parent is just the unlucky recipient of this acknowledgement.
And the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award 🏆 for, The Most Embarrassing Parent, goes to (drum roll if you will)? The Upside Dad. 👏👏😂😂 If we could give him a Nobel Aware we would. We'll have to write ✍️ in a new category. Bravo 👏, Bravo 👏, Bravo 👏.
You know who else gets paid to work from home? Other people who work from home. Go bother them.
S**t, this was supposed to be under Jassica's message. :(
Load More Replies...Ah yes, the elusive sister. A strange mammal indeed. Violent if provoked, it's best to leave it alone until it decides to leave the nest in search of food and snacks.
NO THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMALS ARE " OLDER BROTHERS" !!!!! I AM THE YOUNGEST OF 5 BOYS. BELIEVE ME....BEING STUFFED INTO A 2X2X2 TOY BOX IS NO FUN....LOL..
MY YOUNGER SISTER CAUSED AN EVACUATION OF HER 2ND GRADE CLASS AND IS NOW “THE VIOLENT KID”
Load More Replies...Researchers from Bristol's School of Education created the 20-question Early Humour Survey (EHS) and asked the parents of 671 children aged 0 to 47 months from the UK, US, Australia, and Canada, to complete it.
The team found the earliest reported age that some children appreciated humor was one month, with an estimated 50% of kids enjoying jokes by two months, and 50% making them by 11 months.
The team also found that once children learned how to actually produce humor, they did quite often, with half of the children having joked in the last three hours.
At age 3, my daughter renamed Graham crackers to Gramma crackers, in honor of my mother. Gramma always had them for her...
Load More Replies..."Do we have anything else to eat" goes wayyy into the teens too. Lol
At my house kids don't fall down and get hurt, they crash and burn then compare who's was best
One of my grandkids as a toddler/preschooler always declined a meal (as in, being asked if they wanted breakfast, or lunch, or dinner). But if we asked if they wanted a specific food, or told them specific foods were ready, they happily chowed down. We suspect they thought the meal names were some unrecognized food names instead of just referring to the time of day the food was being served!
My kid 3 could not say bananas he called them EYAMAS he's 28 and we still call them EYAMAS and he hates it LOL.
My grandson called granola bars gorilla bars. The guy at Trader Joe's couldn't stop laughing when I translated and gave him a bballoon. It became a regular outing to go to TJ for gorilla bars and a balloon thereafter.
Upvote for raising a kid with the right priorities like honesty, daddy, and dinosaurs.
When your kid loves someone that died 65 million years ago and not you
I once told my father. "Daddy ... I like Mr. Rogers better than you." And I still do
One-year-olds appreciated several types of humor that involved getting a reaction from others. This included teasing, showing hidden body parts (e.g., taking off clothes), scaring others, and taboo topics (for example, toilet humor). They also found it funny to act like someone or something else (e.g., an animal).
Two-year-olds' humor already reflected language development, including mislabelling, playing with concepts (e.g., "Dogs say moo!"), and nonsense words. Children in this age group also demonstrated a mean streak as they appreciated making fun of others.
The house will always be covered in glitter for ever and ever. Even in post apocalyptic times 100's or 1000's of years from now, the ruble with have sparkle.
Load More Replies...Glitter is forever. My daughter dropped a jar of glitter and I still see a flake or two every so often. That was 14 years ago. It may follow me to my new house later this year.
Mine dumped it on floor and rubbed it in carpet. I think it's still fabulous over 15 years old.
The only new tablet cover my husband could find is "Champagne Glitter". Every time he opens it up I'm right there yelling "FAAAAABUUUULOUSSSSSS!'
"First-time mothers are older in big cities and on the coasts, and younger in rural areas and in the Great Plains and the South. In New York and San Francisco, their average age is 31 and 32. In Todd County, S.D., and Zapata County, Tex., it’s half a generation earlier, at 20 and 21, according to the analysis (...)" Source: NY Times. Damn, that's a big difference!
Just a thought, no proof to back it up, but I think it has to do with the cost of living and housing. It seems like in the big cities on the coast, and the suburbs of the big coastal cities, people live at home until late 20's or even early 30's now. Who can afford a one bedroom or studio apartment for over 3k+ a month, let alone a house. Hard to start a family of your own from your childhood bedroom.
Load More Replies...I am from LA and this is not true. Early 20's maybe, but not early 30's - that's quite common.
LOL as a new mom at 39 and a native of Los Angeles, this is spot on!! All my mom friends are in my age group and we refer to 30 year olds as "kids"
Once I heard my sister yell, " we need to put pumpkins on our heads" turns out they were playing Minecraft.
Finally, 3-year-olds were found to play with social rules (e.g., saying naughty words just for the heck of it), and showed the beginnings of understanding tricks and puns.
"Our results highlight that humor is a complex, developing process in the first four years of life," Dr. Elena Hoicka, Associate Professor in Bristol's School of Education and the study's lead author, said. "Given its universality and importance in so many aspects of children’s and adults’ lives, it is important that we develop tools to determine how humor first develops so that we can further understand not only the emergence of humor itself, but how humor may help young children function cognitively, socially, and in terms of mental health."
LOL! Had a revelation about a year ago that "OHMYGOSH! I don't have to wait up for my 18-year-old son to come home! I CAN GO TO BED WHENEVER I WANT!!" And sometimes that's 9:30! It's kind of glorious! LOL!
Samuel L Jackson narrates a great book on YouTube for this topic!
OMG this perfectly sums it up right here!! Lol. My favorite is when you do fall asleep and my son keeps shaking me until I wake up and asks me if I'm sleeping!!
The fact that he thinks old school rap will make him the cool dad to kids is the real joke here
Lol, there is nothing we can do as parents to be cool. We’re just automatically uncool.
Load More Replies...I'm so proud of my 9-year-old son, who appreciates the classics. By classics, of course, I mean Guns'n'Roses, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, the Who, U2... and yes, we've discussed Axl's misogyny, Syd Barrett's mental health and drug addictions, war in Northern Ireland and Nicaragua, the parting on the left vs the parting on the right, why Anastasia screamed in vain...
I went through the top 40 a while ago to see what was suitable to play for children. By the time I deleted all the ones with swear words, inappropriate for children or were depressing I was left with 5 songs!
This is usually proceeded by the conversation that all new music is trash, and we had real music that meant something back in our day......
Im not into rap but still I feel like old school rap actually needed some lyrical talent and the fast words per minute was something most cant do, while modern mumble rap just seems unintelligible nonsense :D and Im not that old.
Load More Replies...My grandparents used the phrase “learn her” instead of “teach her” and it still makes me smile. I remember my grandpa telling me he was going to “learn me” how to read a watch. And he did!
Load More Replies...Also... Me: "can you hand me that thing that's on the floor?" My kid: "why? It's yours. You should pick it up." Me: "true but you're closer to the floor than I am."
My father always told me that "I had the younger legs" - True, but I will still have to use them longer...
Load More Replies...Ah yes, the stage where they insist on helping with everything but are totally incompetent at it and it takes 3 times as long and becomes 4 times as messy. Then, when they finally become competent, they no longer want to help.
Parties on your actual birthday should never be a surprise. It's the one day of the year to suspect the possibility of a party.
My aunt once had me picked out gifts for a surprise party.....for...... ME! LOL
However, as Talya Stone pointed out, there's a difference between laughing with and laughing at your kids.
"If it's the former, then, of course, go for it!" she said. "Younger children generally see laughter as a positive thing and love the attention of getting a laugh. Obviously, this changes as they get older so especially around the pre-teen and teen years when you most certainly wouldn't want to laugh at them unless you'd like a massive strop on your hands. As always, it's about reading the mood and atmosphere and knowing what the age-appropriate response is."
Dude better have a full set of armour and one of those arm lengthening Grabbers
I used to tell my girls that if I unscrew their belly button, their bottom would fall off. One kept her hands over her belly button to prevent it, the other held her butt with both hands and ran away laughing at me for a week.
I loved it when I taught my girls the quiet game. You know the game right? Who ever stays quiet the longest wins a prize. Sadly neither one ever won the game. 😥😥
Ah I've had those discussions a lot. Makes your brain hurt looking for logical connections before you figure it out. And your kid looking at you like you are the dumbest person in the world and don't get even the most obvious things.
I had a cookout with some friends and neighbors and a guy asked if I had "sprinkle cheese" I had no clue what he meant so I said maybe shredded cheese. Yep he wanted shredded cheese. It's been sprinkle cheese ever since lol
You can just imagine the kid in their head just going "I NEED my bat cheese, why doesn't dad get it!!"
I have tears, I am laughing so hard- all while trying to be quiet about it since am sitting in office at work...
YES! I bet every parent has had this discussion, for us it became an inside joke and household word. So today I used my “baloo baloo” to send some emails, while sitting at our dining room “tee bow”.
For some parents, however, being around their kids — let alone laughing with them — is still a luxury. According to the Pew Research Center, U.S. fathers today have more opportunities to care for their children than they did a half-century ago, but most (63%) say they spend too little time with their little ones.
Moms, by comparison, still do more of the child care and are more likely than dads to be satisfied with how much they get to be around their kids. Still, it's only about half (53%) that say this.
A follow up is much needed, I, like a three year old wil be unable to sleep until I find out!
As a teen, I am sorry for how most of us are. Some of us have learned to just do it
Load More Replies...When my kids tried this, I always told them I'd be happy to change chore lists with them
Nice! Giving another perspective and acknowledging roles. Will try to recall that. Haha.
Load More Replies...Man, I want the secret around the attitude of cleaning after oneself or the household in which we are all living in. I guess, teaching respect for oneself and well-being? Idk, but I am not ready to receive an attitude because I asked my daughter to clean up. She does currently throw her trash in thr trash can, when asked. But I am sure the flare will run out. Hahah, she will be 2 in May.
Send her for some aloe vera to treat the burn she just delivered.
"I don't know how to iron those out, and it would cost too much money to go to somebody who does."
I too would enjoy this level of encouragement for every day actions lol.
This is me when I kneel down and sit with my legs bent on the floor for 15 minutes. I'm in my 30's. -_-
That means moms and dads should make the best of what they have. "I find some of our funniest conversations and moments with my kids happen on the way to and from school, at bedtime, or during dinner time," Talya Stone said.
"It's about carving out extra time. Even if it's only 5 or 10 minutes to connect and have fun. Finding small micro-moments that are achievable is the way forward here. This can be impromptu or be scheduled. You could even create a family ritual for, say, dinner or on Sunday afternoons. And of course, it is amazing how much space you can create for spending quality time with your kids when you cut down on using technology in their presence."
Just don't forget to tweet if there's something hilarious!
And if we can't do that we'll follow behind you and ask you a million questions all at once.
First half of your life is ruined by your parents, second one by your kids....
As a teen, he would go to parties and/or secretly drink alcohol. As a father, he has to go to the shed to drink away from the eyes of his kids. Same practice, different reasons.
Load More Replies...Congratulations you've solved the Case of the Country Crock Caper!
No wonder she can't find anything if the first thing to go missing are her glasses 😆
I can relate to your daughter. To this day, I still don't understand why anyone would ever want to put something so unfit for consumption as a raw onion in their mouth. Fried onions: fine! Caramelized onions: great! Raw onions: I'm dry heaving just thinking about it.
Don't bow to that foolishness because once you start it never stops. They either eat what's offered or they can go hungry.
Don't start that foolishness and you won't need to worry about it.
We have pink plastic cups and blue plastic cups. My husband, 49 yo, refuse to drink of a pink plastic cup. I blame his mom!

Load More Replies...When my sister had her baby, I embroidered a pretty floral wall-hanging that said, "Wake the baby and I'll cut you."
Since I am the oldest of 9 kids I learned a valuable lesson about raising children. Immerse your children in everyday noise from the beginning. All of my children could sleep thru anything because I did not coddle them with the silent treatment. Loud music, tvs blaring, vacuum running, normal volume conversations as when I carried them continued when I brought them home from the hospital. Never had a problem with babies easily woken.
If that doesn't work then this for sure will: https://www.etsy.com/search?q=hatched
Load More Replies...Never was excessively quiet when my kids were babies. Now, as grown adults, have slept through Hurricanes, Typhoons and Tornados.
trick is to persuade them they each have a favourite colour, and then ensure they always get that colour of item.
Load More Replies...I melted my kid's favorite cup in the dishwasher. I searched online for two days to find a replacement and got the new one thinking I had dodged a bullet. She knew immediately because Elmo's eyes were too dark. Sigh.
We just each had a cup that was OURS. Gotta wash it a lot but yeah always make sure you have one of everything PER CHILD
When you need the skills of a diplomat to sort out who gets to sit up front in the car.. For a 5-minute journey... With 2 over-20 year olds.
My kids used to count the number of tater tots on the other kid's plate to make sure one wasn't getting more than the other.
I would have one child make their plates and the other two could choose first. This avoided so many fights by forcing them to be fair.

Load More Replies...When I was 26 and my daughter was 5, she had old timers day at school. She dressed like me! I could not for the life of me see the humor.
What gets to me are the teachers who dress up for the day in bad gray wigs, no makeup or pale makeup, frumpy dresses with aprons, rolled opaque stockings, with orthopedic shoes, canes or walkers, and post photos saying they are dressed like grandmas. Their actual grandmas meanwhile dress in, at worst, dressy casual coordinated outfits and see a hairstylist every week or so, and probably are still working. Or out playing tennis or golf, no canes or walkers involved.
Load More Replies...When I was 26ish, I met the 5 year old grandson of a family friend. 5yo decided we would be friends until I "got old, turned 30, and died." I wanted to ask him how old he thought his dad was.
Its all relative (sorry for the pun). When you're 30 and they are 6, you're 5 times older than them. Doesn't 150 sound a long time ago versus 30?
I'm a goth I dressed my 3 yr old as a vampire for Halloween. Lady asked what she was...she said I'm mommy!!
Well maybe you do look like a cute purple squirrel, we don't know.

Load More Replies...Are you Kenny's long lost sister Kelly on South Park? If you are, I'd start looking around at my surroundings a little bit more cautiously and a real close eye on your son.
I called the phlebotomist a vampire yesterday. She seemed amused, but afterwards I was informed by my mother that that's not a compliment to normal people. Oops XD.
I think it is more that she might have heard that joke already 200 times before but it is not bad.
Load More Replies...My friend's husband set the bar REALLY high for the other dads when he got her a nice hotel room with room service and a spa for Mother's Day lol another woman must have given him the tip lol
Did that only once … Daddy fell asleep on the sofa … our 3yr. old got hungry and turned on the oven (you had to light it with a match) then spread a pound of bacon on the racks. I got home and the smell of gas knocked me over. I opened all the doors & windows then my husband woke up and started to light a cigarette!! I was mad anyway … I hit him and that match SO hard … they both went flying! That felt SO good! Never happened again!
neither of my two cats have ever acted like jerks. They also respect areas where they are not allowed and listen to no. (most of the time anyway. sometimes they hear it and know what they are doing wrong and do it just a little more for the sake of it.)

AMEN! Plus if you have kids and try to get them to do your homework it's a nightmare! What should take 15 minutes ends 2 hours later with me in tears.
Load More Replies...It should be no more than 10 minutes total (all subjects) per grade. As the ideas become more complex, more time needs to be allowed to process after you've first learned them. Homework should be a refresher of what was learned that day, not a mastery of those new ideas. Few get things right the first couple times so get the brain ready to process the day while you sleep so its ready for tomorrow. I also think it shouldn't be graded past -"did you do it" and the accuracy should be used as guide for future lessons, not as punishment for not having immediate comprehension. If the class is all misunderstanding their "twos" multiplication tables, more time needs to be spent on it before they are finally assessed on the ability.
It should be no more than 0 minutes per grade. We give them 7 1/2 hours 5 days a week to teach us and if they can’t teach us EVERYTHING they need to in that time they need to do some serious reevaluations
Load More Replies...If adults don't have to bring work home with them, why should children?

My son passed several developmental milestones in quarantine and honestly it's crazy seeing how much it affects him/kids his age.
Our 2 yr old asking if we remember back in the day when he was just a little kid.
"Yelling those words AT people usually isn't okay. Screaming them into the air is, though."
It takes about 2 and a half years or mabye 3 to get them to slep full night. Perfect time to have a other baby...... And we did that again. Why dont parents learn from ther mistakes?!
My friend just had her second baby 10 years after the first. That's how long it took her to forget 😆 and now her second one is sleeping through the night at 6 months.
My daughter absolutely spoiled me as a parent! She slept thru the night practically from day one, she hardly ever cried, was always healthy and ate pretty much any food offered. Her brother was born 2 months before her 3rd birthday and OH MY GOD! He pissed on me before we even left the hospital, didn't stop crying or sleep, like, AT ALL until he was 9 months old, had constant ear infections and colds, would 'bite' when nursing (teething brought breastfeeding to an end!) and as a toddler would absolutely wail if he got dirty... I got my tubes tied when I was 26 when he was like 5.
If you are very lucky, you might get a little sleep before you begin waiting up for them when they start dating!

When Simon asked the other dads if they wanted to go on an early hike he figured they would say no so he wouldn’t have to go either, but then they are impressed because they think that he has the discipline to go on early hikes (thus raising his social status).

That's a good book series that your username is from.
Load More Replies...Secretly people watch winter sports and car racing because we want to see someone get hit by a curling stone or have their car flip 10 times and walk away from it. Either way, its something we can't do and we admire others for taking the risk. We don't want anyone to get hurt but its the chance of someone sliding into the baseboard during a triple Axel that keeps us coming back.
My grandma did that when she had to go to the hospital and the staff didn't believe us when we told them about her early stages dementia. She went into every room when the night nurse was busy with an emergency, pulled out all the clothes and everything else she could grab and threw it into a big pile she fell asleep on afterwards. It was especially fun to figure out the numerous dentures correct owners.
Oh boy, just what I always wanted: Another bot! Gang meet gaxeni5021, The new bot to yell at!

You need to make up with her, so she doesn't do something like this again!
In my house these days when we listen to music on youtube it's either crazy frog, the gummibear song, some weird chicken techno-melody, cotton eye joe or baby shark. So these days I try to minimize the time we're on youtube. I am not fond of the music taste of my 5 year-old and 3 year-old.
Until you have teenagers with homework and projects and activities and then it feels like you blink and it's midnight
My son usually does not want to get to the shower and does anything possible to postpone it. And once I get him to the shower and adjust the water temperature to his liking, he does not want to come out of the shower for hours.
i take showers, but they last like 5 minutes, meanwhile my sister can last between 30 minutes and 3hrs in there
Shutting off the hot water will get then out of the shower. Or a timer on the pipe.
Back in my day they were called mum jokes cause it was my mum telling them
Me: "what do you want for dinner?" Her:"anything." Me:"ok, peas it is." Her: "anything I wolud eat" Me: "ok, pasta then, for the 5th time this week.
You really should see what happens when the kid gets zero choices. My kids don't buy the groceries.
My parents never let us make decisions like these. Instead they'd give us vegetable medleys and tell us we could choose one vegetable not to eat. And then they bravely ate them for us. Well. I thought they did. Until I realized that three of the four of us always chose mushrooms. Which my parents quite enjoyed eating.
Me or my bf before making dinner: so [3 year-old] would you like pasta and meat balls for dinner today? 3 year-old: YES!!!! CAN I HAVE IT NOW???? *30min later* 3 year-old screaming and crying: I want a carrot and I want apple juice. I don't want this food. It's disgusting!!!! (Seems she is going through a vegetarian phase at the moment....).
Totally counts. But... We Don't Talk About Bruno. (Hey, I can't be the only one suffering this catchy earworm!)

Aaaaah yes. I do this a LOT layely. It's as if my oldest (soon to be 5yo) forgets that at home she doesn't have to scream her lungs out to be heard. She will also scream-sing and pretend to whistle by screaming. So yeah.... I tell her with CAPITAL LETTERS quite a lot lately that she should not be SO LOUD! SHE IS WAKING UP HER YOUNGEST SISTER AND MAKING HER OLDEST SISTER CRY! STOP SCREAMING! I suspect I'll need hearing aid within a decade or so. 😬
Just wait until they're teenagers. My grocery bill feels like it has doubled. D:
Is "honor roll" just an expression for kids with high grades or do (US?-)schools really have such a thing? And... is this only for academic achievements or also for children who perform well in other area's (sports, arts, social skills, carpentry etc etc)?
It's an awarded ceremony at most schools. And yes it mostly deals with grades.

Omg, I managed to fall through a gap on my bed where my safety rails weren’t, and I face planted tripping over nothing, yet I still get good grades, am I a clutz, even though I’ve never broken anything, or just extremely stupid I’m smart?
I really hope the hair removal thing isn't true (though it probably is, I'm a girl still in junior high) 😖
The problem with this situation is that sometimes babies are habitual liars. Mommy's gonna go take a nap.
Really just the money and convince? What about that kids father figure? What about the memories that little boy or girl could have made with their dad? Dude dads are so important, plus they love and help and support their wives. They dont just work for the money. Trust me if I didn't have my dad I would be in a dark place, so watch your mouth. I would defiantly recommend you guys dont have kids if that is your way of thinking.
Can anyone find it? Have YOU seen it? It’s gotta be around here somewhere. Everyone watch where they are stepping, you don’t want miss the point.

A. It's a joke. B. Candy is really bad for small kids.

My toaster was like that - either barely warm or too dark. My toaster oven does a better job, tho it only has 4 settings, 1 or 2 usually does it.
A kindergartner? A three page writing assignment? Hmmm... It seems as believable as the exploding unicorn's stories.
Me: do your chores 8:I have to pee 1st. After an hour I realize we both forgot she had to do her chores. Distraction level 💯
Did you BOTH forget, or no? Your daughter/son is going to be a master illusionist

As a 17 year old who has trained the 6, 4, and 2 year old to do things, you should be amazed.

Meanwhile, my little siblings just now: Brother, 8: MMMMM SO Good Me asking why he's only just realizing it's good, he's halfway through his sandwich Sister, 10: He's practicing for his orange marmalade commercial.
Sorry if it got a bit spammy, covering up the actual spam on a lot of the lower rated posts
Kids are amazing/funny/weird little people, which is why I would like kids, just the world we live in... I don't want to introduce someone into this hell
I hate it when they are called “little people”. We don’t call black people “burnt people” or old people “angel people” so why is it ok to call kids “little people”?
