While the social media posts on this list appear to present what parenting is like in jest, many people are actually questioning their skills and capabilities in raising children.
In July 2025, Talker Research released its survey findings involving 2,000 American parents with kids aged 11 nd under. It revealed that people feel they are “bad” parents three times per week on average, totaling 156 times each year.

It's like when you tell them to hold their horses and they cry because they don't have any horses. Love little kids and how they think!

My mom does this to me, except it's not nearly as funny XD She is obese and every time I mention that I've lost weight, she immediately says "Oh, I have too! What do you weight now?" and when I tell her, she says "Oh, that's exactly what I weigh now too!" Mom... you do NOT weigh 140 lbs, I'm sorry... add about 60 more lbs onto that XD
The survey also revealed that while children make their parents laugh at least 12 times daily on average, the survey respondents admitted to “needing a break” from their parenting duties twice a week.
Respondents also revealed their most overwhelming struggles, with financial pressure ranking highest (42%). The lack of personal time or self-care and balancing work and family responsibilities are tied for the second-highest (34%).
However, these struggles bring an upside. According to Celebree School's director of education, Kristen Miller, the survey findings reveal that parents are not only juggling their daily responsibilities but are also learning alongside their children.
“While it’s natural to feel overwhelmed at times, it’s important to remember that parenthood is also filled with beautiful, rewarding moments,” Miller said.
Given its fair share of stressful moments, experts urge people to incorporate humor in their parenting approach. According to a 2024 study, humor can shift perspective, especially in how an event or response is interpreted.
This means that stressful and difficult moments can be easily diffused by moments of laughter.

I'm pretty sure I have never heard that before but have to admit I really like it.
Of course, being the perpetually “fun parent” has its downsides. As clinical psychologist Dr. Tamar Kahane tells Parents.com, one con is that conflict may arise, especially if the other parent is the “strict enforcer.”
So, if you want to be the fun parent, Dr. Kahane advises engaging your child in an activity you enjoy and turning it into a bonding experience.
“If you like to cook or bake, invite them to join you in the kitchen and let them help,” she said, noting the importance of letting loose and seeing how the child responds.

When my brother and I were small we were visiting my aunt. This aunt was my mom's younger sister and she had taste in decor that was, as the Brits would say, posh. She had JUST had red carpet installed and my brother and I were bored in the living room and began rolling a random can across the floor to each other while the ladies fawning over something in another room. They came strolling into the living where brother and I are playing and look at what we're doing, then they both freeze. The random can we're rolling back and forth was paint, apple green paint. Mom went apoplectic.

Enjoy the extra corn, oats, and barley. Just remember to hide the electric clippers a few weeks before you're due.

Sadly, most olympic competitors have to have other jobs to pay for their training. Only a select few get advertising contracts.
