Kids can be so direct that it's almost cruel! My neighbor's 4 y/o asked another elderly neighbor "why aren't you dead yet?"
The same happened to me at a beauticians. She said to me: "You're surely not telling me you're happy with THAT face?!"
No, no, no, there is no way she should have even been able to say this to you. !!
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.
The same happened to me at a beauticians. She said to me: "You're surely not telling me you're happy with THAT face?"
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!”
I thought it was a satirical parenting account?
Load More Replies...My preschooler had difficulty accepting that the chicken we eat comes from real chickens lol.
i remember once i saw in my science book it said that quality of meat is hereditary. and i thought “ what is the quality of human meat”
One of my children liked to come and silently stand next to my bed, waiting for the weight of her stare to wake me. Terrifying.
Yes, they are, but tis the forbidden meat. Or, as W***y Wonka put it, "Everything you see is eatable. Even I am eatable. But that my dear children is called cannibalism and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."
imagine the struggles of climbing a bed at 3:00 in the morning
This is so my Son and I for at least 25 years now, and even today cuz he works at a University and I am still calling him for computer help when he is "at school" LOL
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.

A few years ago I gave a fairly large Lego collection to a friend of mine with several children. Man, I f*cked up. I want my Legos back!
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.”
In my case, I can differentiate my little siblings' poop and pee. So it's not just parents💀

ROFL...I felt the same when I caught my 6 year old humming "Come As You Are"...I was surprised, but very amused at the same time lol...my little grunge princess.
Load More Replies...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.
I forgot to mention, it's car accidents, lol I just re read my comment. The birds get hit by cars all the time due to this
Load More Replies...unfortunately the birds don't eat clothes, wrappers, school bags, ...
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.
What a wise 7 year old the have a bright future if they keep asking the important questions
I tell my husband things like "I love you more than strawberry cheesecake ice cream" (available at Hoskin's Dairy in Lewes, Delaware. Just don't go hogging it all! I need some this summer, and while custard with Jimmies is my other favorite frozen dessert, I still need that ice cream!) He knows what I mean. 😁😊❤
I ask myself that question every night. My brain always answers, "Not matter. Eat food."
LOL! That's pretty much how the last million years have designed our brains. So it's not your fault - it's the fault of all of your ancestors.
Load More Replies...Literally I wish I was like that, I always go straight to FOOD, I don’t think about the want, the need, or the why
These days I seldom have actual food... just ingredients to make food with =0(
Ah, the great adult question. I spent way too much time eating alone last year, and now I'm in the terrible habit of getting a bowl of junk food to snack on every time I sit down to watch YouTube. I know it's a bad idea, but it's ridiculously hard to stop.
Prior to having kids, I swore that I'd never feed them junk food, that I wouldn't let them sleep in my bed, and that I'd keep TV time to an absolute minimum. Oh, how naive!
Pre-children I said I wouldn't play kids music in the car, they will grow up with my music. 2021 Spotify Wrapped no. 1 song? Let It Go

Load More Replies...My mom said she had a friend in high school who wanted to have a child psychology degree. So the friend got her degree. Later she said she used to have 6 theories for raising children. But now she had 6 children and no theories.
My daughter once told me that when she had kids, she would never say 'no' to them. Since then, she not only says 'no,' but also has come up with more ways to say it.
I feel pretty good as a parent. Now, as a grandparent, I am ready to rock. Just be strong on what is important and not on what is not. It is only hard if you care about stupid people's opinions.
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.”
“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.”
That's important information to share with the folks in your meeting. Tell your kid "Thanks."
Who in their right mind wouldn't just find this adorable in a meeting?!
I too spat out my (for me it is proverbial) tea.

So cute hope they took a pic to bring out whenever he brings a girl home to meet the family
My 4yo just now put his knickers on his head and declared that he is a "contemptible goose". What?
Am a recent widow. Has been a long time since I had a really good laugh. Thank you so much to “Upside Dad” and everyone else. You have let the sunshine in.
My grandson, as a toddler, insisted on wearing my underwear around his neck...

Load More Replies...Don't think I didn't just spend 15 minutes looking up 'Farting in the USA' and 'Farts in my butt'. On my work computer.
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.”
The guy he slapped kinda deserved it. Don't make jokes about women's appearances, especially if she has a medical condition that causes ir
Load More Replies...Once my little sister got mad at me and used nail polish to paint "My sister is a butt-ugly martian" on her bedroom wall, right by the door so you couldn't miss it. I've never heard my mom laugh so hard.
My youngest daughter came downstairs crying, but wouldn't tell me what was wrong ... I called my son down and asked what happened and he she was annoying him ... I went back to her and asked why she was crying and she said he sat on her ... it took every fiber of my being to hold back the laughter, especially after my son confirmed he did ...
My mom always said that if you laugh you can't be mad. This would be a tough one.
My 4yo likes a mixture of two cereals, and, to his horror, I poured the rice crispies on top of the Cheerios. May he, one day, forgive me.
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.
Oh, well. Like Scarlet O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day" that you can ruin her life.
the other day i told my sister (5) to pick up the toys she left all over the living room and she kept picking them up and dropping them telling me that "they keep slipping out of my hand" and "my back cant bend"
Yesterday I told my four year old she couldn’t have any more Arrowroot cookies because she’d already had two and dinner would be ready soon. She started crying and said “so what, you want me to just sit here and STARVE?!”.
My coworker's kid said that he shouldn't have to wait for his food to be cooked... in the microwave... for two minutes. He wanted a snack while he waited.
Load More Replies...Because even though the situation is rather silly, the little one's feelings are very real to them.
Load More Replies...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.
Oh, the humanity! Yesterday one of my TK kids (also 5 yo) was on the edge of tears because he couldn't sit on his favorite carpet square. That age level is a hoot.
Did you not know, 'Never', in the life of a toddler, only lasts until next meal time.
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.
“I think it really depends on the situation and your needs at the time. I have always tried to be honest and explain that actions have consequences. And yes, that might have been funny at the moment but then gone on to explain why it was wrong.”
Maybe I should have slapped myself, when I told my 25 Y/O to take a stand and talk to his partner/SO, after she threw him out of the house because of something I have said/posted, YEARS AGO.
The babies and children owe us nothing. They didn't ask to be born.
What a great sense of “humor” you have 😃
Load More Replies...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.”
Hey did you guys know that in the book she actually chops off his feat with a damn axe? Like seeing her break his ankles with a sledge hammer in the movie wasn't bad enough! Stephen King is so good that when I read that it made my feet hurt

I'll never forget watching Brownies having a water fight (I was a leader but not joining in). One filled her welly up then when everyone else had run out of water she took it off and poured it over her rival 🤢
Eh....just spray them with the kitchen hose and make them clean it up
Ah yes, my son loved water gun fights. There was a four year period where I was never dry. 😂
I, too, have an angry meltdown when my cereal is not made in the most perfect way.
I have a favorite. It's the one not calling me the worst father in the world because she has to go to school. I said it's the law, but she was okay with me going to prison.
My son wanted to become a prime minister, so he can get rid of the law that you have to go to school.

Ha! No matter how late I put my son to bed he woke up at 6:00 am. Now his daughter does the same thing.....Karma!! 😁
My son too! He can go to bed at 9 or at midnight and still sleep in late. I am not complaining lol
Load More Replies...At our house we all have alarm clocks and my son was still an hour late for school because we all slept through the various alarms
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.
My 9yo child wakes up at 6:30am during the week and at 6am in the weekend.
I once was just enjoying Starbucks with my friends and I had to leave “IMMEDIATELY” so I just shoved two and a half brownies I was eating into my bra 😹

I was 9 when my sister was born. Mom told me that once when she'd asked me to get a diaper for her, I asked "Am I the only one in the house who knows where the diapers are?" Apparently I've been a smartass my entire life.
False assumption. 1) they will take forever being distracted by the dust mites floating in the sun, etc. 2) when they do return they will come back empty handed. 3) if they do have something in their sticky mitts it will be wrong. 4) if it was a good item they will have eat, chewed, mangled, or dropped whatever you wanted.
Haaahaha! Like fluff kids will do this! Well, mine don’t at any rate!
I once told my mom I wanted to have kids so I could name them both wawahahahahahahahabaaa (spelled exactly like that)

There's a non-zero chance that the 6-year-old already knew what a ruin was, and was asking just so he could deliver the punchline.
My son is the exact same way. I don't know whether to be proud, or ashamed. 😂😂😂😂
There's the problem: if you don't want them, why should they? Try the whitewashing-the-fence ploy...
My parents were being weird during a Christmas party and I said please tell me I'm adopted as a joke and my mom replied with we tried adoption but no one would take you. 🤣 Side note, banter and jokes like this is our love language 😝😆
It's all in the marketing. See, you can't just adopt them out. Free children are a dime a dozen, but slap a $1000 tag on them and people will pay attention! They always take notice when something costs more!
❤️ It's hard when you can't even bribe them to run away… or they threaten to, leave, then keep coming back. ❤️ My middle son at ages 3 to 5 … "ran away'" daily. Found him in his bottom dresser drawer once. As he got older, we had to "high-latch" outside doors. The neighbors were sooooo relieved!
I understand this is a joke, but honestly what? I wouldn’t say joking “my kids are so annoying I want to put them up for adoption” isn’t the best joke to make. I know it was meant as a joke, but just because it was meant that way doesn’t mean it’s funny.”
Or they realize Dad's just kidding and that he really does love them.

There is a joke I know, but it just make sense in German 😂 Ein altes Ehepaar, das schon seit Ewigkeiten verheiratet ist wird gefragt, was eine gute Ehe ausmacht.

Ich dachte immer es wäre Arsch und Gesicht!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 For all who understand German.
But if you get all clean, and I mean everywhere — and I’m assuming you do — then why do you need a second towel?
I honestly can even think about NOT using 2 towels, like that has been the norm all my life.

My daughter's best friend at school last year was Salami absolutely refused to believe otherwise. When we asked a friend of her from her class found her name was actually Naomi and she had been calling her Salami all year. This year she denies ever calling her Salami 🤦🤦🤦
My 4yo son talked about his classmate, The Hammered. Of course, I refused to believe this was his name, and later found out his classmate is, in fact, called Mohammed.
In all fairness, your daughter is 8 and modern society says we can call our children whatever tf we want now. So there was a great chance her name was actually Internet

Omg a dad did that once to me and my friends when we were at a campground building a tree fort 😂 we totally froze and then he started laughing and gave us a plate of sliced up watermelon instead - he and his wife could see us playing through the trees and had a whole watermelon they couldn’t eat by themselves, so kind of them to share with us little troublemakers :) we cleaned the plate and left it on the steps of their trailer with some flowers that we’d picked , very nice memory :)
As early as that, huh? Mine tell me at 7:30 a.m. on the day if we're lucky, or they "forget" so they don't have to dress up (they're teenagers now)
Question for the possibility of me having kids in the future, are those parenting books worth it?
Walking into church one day, holding hands, my then-5yo said, "Daddy, you what's a really rude word? F*ck." I had to agree.
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."

Basically, if the school assignment requires the parents to do more work than the kids, it should not be a school assignment. How is that not a given, honestly? I'm not the one being graded. All those assignments tell you is which kids have parents who are overachievers.
I hate it when the enthusiasm is there for the original outfit, but the next time it is called for something similar. "THAT is OLD, I am NOT wearing THAT old thing." It is worse than a wedding dress. At least we look at the Wedding dress and sigh that we once fitted into that.

Hahahaha I’m 30 and still irrationally scared of the dark so yeah this is me 😂
I love Minecraft because my kid will actually talk about it and I don't have to care or understand.
My son wants me to play it with him. I still don't know what I am doing and he just destroys everything that I manage to build.

That's why i ask them a question back before i answer. Conversation with my nephew. N: Titi, why do you have blue eyes and daddy has brown eyes? Me: why do you think i have blue eyes? N: i think its cause you live near the ocean. So you're eyes look like the ocean. Me: that's sweet, you know your daddy lived near the ocean before you were born right? N: oh, i guess not for long enough.
And you had to clap and laugh and praise them while trying to discretely back away.
And constantly interrupting you. You learn to jump when all goes really really really quiet all of a sudden.
My daughter decided that her stuffed animal's birthday is whenever we walk past the bakery and she needs an excuse to get a cake.
To be fair, all of those things will change a dozen times for each kid from now until they move out - so don't be too hard on yourself.
I, too, am a colonist, civilian, disciplinarian, believer, director, pedestrian, disciplinarian (again), artist and inventor. All jokes aside though, this kid will ace the spelling quiz!
Squeeze in the right place and get her off the toilet sooner.

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.

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.

I love that the vast majority of "parenting tweets" on the internet can just as easily be describing drunk adults.
Another great title for this would be "Parents Continue to Make Up Stuff Their Kids Never Said"
