    This Bit#h needs an attitude adjustment. She needs to get over herself. I would have gone directly to the boss and demanded my money back. I would make sure that I would spread the word that I would (adding the woman's name) never come back. The boss would be told this woman is losing you money.

    Reading through these entertaining posts, it’s easy to say that kids can get creative with making their parents’ lives both challenging and exciting. So it’s perfectly normal that these little balls of sunshine add plenty of hilarious situations into their daily routine.

    “Parenting is such a vast and complicated experience with so many highs and lows, many of which are just farcical when you view them objectively, so there is a lot of scope for humor if you can see the funny side,” Jo Middleton, creator of the parenting and lifestyle blog Slummy Single Mummy and author of Playgroups and Prosecco, told Bored Panda.

    “Of course, that’s not always easy at the time — imagine you’ve just made dinner and your baby throws up all over it — that might be something that you can only laugh about the next day!”

    My mother used to do that to me when I was in highschool, she usually needed help with spreadsheets for work. I went to a technical school where we alternated our "shop" classes with traditional academic classes. I was in a business oriented shop and we would use things like excel, access, study accounting, etc. It was during a shop week and one day I wasn't answering my phone so she called my teacher who then told me to call my mother and help her with work... Normally she would wait till the evening and ask me to give her written instructions, guess it couldn't wait that time.

    Needless to say, each child is unique, and they often show it by coming up with equally brilliant and humorous ideas all the time. “Children are so wonderfully unselfconscious, they’re happy to just get crazy, use their imaginations and enjoy themselves without fear of judgment. We lose a lot of this as we get older, but kids have that ability to just see the fun in things and let loose,” Jo said.

    “My daughter is 19 now and she still absolutely loves playing tricks on me, often quite physical pranks. A few weeks ago, I was getting ready for bed for example, and didn’t realize she had hidden under my bed until she reached out and grabbed my ankle! I absolutely shrieked but she thought it was hilarious. I love that she’s still this playful even though she’s older now.”

    My kids (were teen-agers then, 1983 or so) came in from outside all excited and said you have to hear this music mom. They put on the music, and I stood up and said hang on a minute. I went into my bedroom and pulled out a record album. It was The Surfaris, Wipe out. Took it in the living room put it on the record player and when the kids heard the same music that they were so excited about. Their look was priceless. I bought it in the 60s' when I was a teen-ager. I said what once was my music is now your music. LOL.

    I've worked with bird rehabers and they have said most injuries to birds of prey are from a bird going after a small animal that is attracted to something on the side of the road. It may seem fine since it's organic, but throwing apple cores or other foods can lead to a bad injury to a wild bird.

    While moms and dads are constantly trying to do their best with parenting, sometimes their absurd shenanigans catch them off guard. According to Jo, it’s important for your children not to think you’re laughing at them. “Although they’re normally far less self-conscious than adults, children can be hugely sensitive, and if they think you think they’re being stupid or that they’ve done something wrong, you could very easily cause them to withdraw and become more cautious about having fun.”

    So when kids do take you by surprise, you just have to go with it, as with most aspects of parenting. “Always encourage fun and playfulness and enjoy the moments when they come. Don’t get caught up trying to take photos or videos, just enjoy it,” Jo suggested.

    Jen Walshaw, founder of the blog Mum In The Madhouse, told Bored Panda parenting is the hardest but most rewarding thing she has ever done. “There is no manual and every child is different, and things that work for one doesn’t for another.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Parenting is pretty ridiculous, you are trying so hard to raise responsible and happy kids without inflicting them with all your bad habits and your own childhood trauma,” Jen said. “I was a child of the '70s, we played out until the street lights came on and that signaled it was time to go home. Nowadays, we have so many ways of tracking our children and that has added to the pressure rather than reduced it, so we laugh and find things to laugh about.”

    Haha. When my boys (twins) were potty training they would put their knickers on their heads while sitting on the pot and say "I'm a policeman,". I have no idea why.

    Jen told us she believes children are brilliant and think outside of the box because they don’t even know what the box is. “They are not constrained by adult responsibility and often see new innovative ways of doing things. I think that we are so constrained by the idea of conformity and fitting in and for children that is a learned feeling that comes more with age and experience.”

    Moms and dads often find humor in their children’s actions, as well as their words. “When they were younger, some of the things they did were hilarious. I have found as they got older and developed their own personalities that humor can be a shield that protects them (and me) from sticky situations.”

    Im 53yo. I still eat out of divided plates because different foods touching is repulsive to me. Peas don't belong anywhere near pasta unless it's a tuna casserole with peas and carrots. Eggs cannot touch syrup should be on a separate plate all together. I would have been traumatized for life as well so I can just imagine the look on his face. Mashed potatoes and gravy go together but far away from anything else. Especially peas. Oh and if he doesn't like peas tell him you know an adult now that doesn't like them either.

    I remember when my oldest was about five, and came back with his plate where the hot dogs were uneaten. Asked why, he broke down in tears saying “the smell of hot dogs makes me SAD”. Didn’t serve him hot dogs again for about 6 months until he said “I really want a hot dog”. Been fine with them ever since.

    Still, she revealed there have been loads of times when her kids have said or done something inappropriate “that I need to tell them off about when all I have wanted to do was laugh at them.” You see, sometimes it’s hard to know whether to laugh or get serious.

    Having kids is a huge responsibility, but like with everything in life, you have to find delight in the funny things they say or do. “If you didn’t laugh, you would cry,” Jen added jokingly. Right now, she’s a mom to two teenage boys: “It is the unexpected things that have me smiling, the odd cup of tea and their company.”

    When it comes to parenting, the woman feels that “social media has made the extraordinary feel very ordinary and something everyone can aspire to, and that is very dangerous”. Jen believes it pays for parents to set their expectations low. “That way, your kids will pretty much often put a smile on your face.”

    I don't really understand parents who don't have set bed times and wake up times for their kids. School year/week: 8pm for the 4 year old, 8:30 for the 9 year old, and 9 for the 11 year old. 6am wake up time Summer: All the times get bumped a half hour except for the oldest, her's gets bumped to 10pm, and 8-9am becomes the wakeup time.

    I need to start this saying I 100% support vaccines. My oldest gets a little cough/sore throat, we assume strep. 3 days later everyone but the unvaccinated (too young) person in my house caught it, that seemed like the universe just wanted to give me the finger.

    I babysat for a woman who used that word a lot, so of course her two-year-old picked it up. To the point that she said it all the time at her preschool (a church run preschool, at that.) My friend, realizing she truly did need to watch her language, told her daughter that from that point, they needed to practice saying "Oh dear" instead of "Oh, s**t." One night, after picking her daughter up from school, she realized she had left her daughter's antibiotics at the school, and that they'd have to try and get back in the hopes it was still open so they could get the meds. She explained this to her daughter, who immediately said, "Oh s**t." Mom -- "Now remember: what are we supposed to say?" Her daughter -- "Oh dear s**t."

    So true! A few years ago my eldest decided her only goal in life was getting on an Overwatch league, and she was really good. BUT, she decided it the game was lagging by like 2 ms and it was all our fault and her life was now over. It was a fun few days.

    I used to do that! I wanted a dog reeeaaallly bad, so I became the dog. I would also force my little sister to be a dog.

    My kids have a dog, and cats, and tortoises. And they still pretend they are dogs, and cats and tortoises.

    My boy was Little Puppy Free! And he was green. He loved to give puppy kisses with a quick lick and sniff.

    I read somewhere that teens brains aren’t finished being made yet. I live one street north of our local high school, and see evidence of this on every school day !

    The same way I feel when my ten- year old brother TEACHES me how to play chess and destroys me in three moves.
