Have kids, they said, it will be fun, they said. And when it happens, utter craziness ensues and there’s no emergency exit to go through.
You see, being a parent takes you on a life adventure like no other. And while it’s hard to put in words all the ups and downs of what it's like to raise little daredevils, Bored Panda wrapped up some real-life examples captured on camera that show it as it is.
Mostly absolutely wholesome, sometimes truly crazy, and in other instances, pretty challenging, parenting is not for the faint-hearted, but it surely fills up your heart unlike anything else.

No More Animals In The House
Thanks, Apple. I’ll Let Her Know
She's Going To See A Cow Today
To find out more about the challenges of modern parenting, as well as how the coronavirus pandemic has changed the ways parents raise children, Bored Panda spoke with Holly Connors, a lifestyle blogger and a working mom of two girls. After working in psychology for a decade, Connors is now the creator of the “Simplify Create Inspire” project, which helps families make their lives easier. She happily shared some useful and illuminating insights.
Raising kids through the pandemic has posed a variety of challenges for many parents. Holly told us that for some, “it has resulted in increased stress and anxiety due to the uncertainties that come with the virus.”
“Parents have had to make tough decisions around safety, schooling, and childcare while all learning how to adjust their work-life balance. Some of these cautions have remained as parents adjust to the new normal,” she explained.

Moreover, many parents had to become teachers overnight, Holly argues, by helping their children adjust to temporary homeschooling or remote learning. “This has caused parents to address their children’s educational needs more than ever and for some parents, this has given a greater view of what goes into educating our kids and allowed them to maintain a more pivotal role in their children's learning.”

The Teacher Actually Only Told Him Not To “Make A Habit Of It.” So I Wonder How Many Times Makes A Habit? I Also Wonder If I Should Hide The Popcorn Popper
Do You Have Any Advice For Me?
As if that wasn’t enough, “the pandemic also limited the social life of many families, reducing time spent with extended family or friends.” Holly explained that this can be particularly challenging for younger children since they “rely heavily on social interaction with their peers and is most definitely one of the biggest challenges we found in our household with a child in their first year of formal schooling suddenly learning from home.”

“As a result,” Holly continues, “parents needed to become more creative in finding ways to keep their kids connected and entertained in the changed environment, with extra reliance on technology to fill the gap.” And although technology can be wonderful for this purpose, Holly believes that “it has also been harder to reign in those habits, now telling our kids to get off their devices and go spend time with peers in person again.”

A stray cat got in my attic through the garage and sprayed everywhere. Every time the ac or heat came on it smelled like male cat p*ss for a year. It was impossible to find exactly where it was coming from. I'll take the syrup over this any day.
With more and more things fighting for our attention these days, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed as parents. Holly argues that “we are all overstimulated and most of us are guilty of neglecting self-care.”
Luckily, she has some very useful advice to spare. “The simple act of taking time for yourself each and every day can have a huge impact, along with well-being basics such as getting enough sleep, eating well, drinking lots of water, and moving your body,” Holly said.

Another tip from Holly for overwhelmed parents is “setting up routines and schedules in the family home can also make a big difference in managing the overwhelm.” She gave some examples: “a cleaning schedule to keep on top of your regular household management tasks, a meal plan so you know what is for dinner each day and can streamline your grocery shopping and giving your kids age-appropriate chores to lend a hand around the home.”
Importantly, kids who do chores are gaining independence, responsibility skills, and confidence, Holly said.
And finally, “it can also be helpful to practice gratitude and mindfulness each day, as these techniques have been proven to help reduce stress and increase happiness,” the author of “Simplify Create Inspire” said.

We also wondered if there are new parenting trends and styles emerging, and Holly said that the ongoing impact of the global pandemic has certainly changed the way many parents approach parenting.
“We are seeing a shift in priorities, with more focus on family time and mental health for all members of the household,” she said.
“Many parents are also reevaluating their views on education, looking for alternative approaches to learning such as homeschooling that may better suit their children or taking the leap and traveling as a family, and digging deep into exploring their home country (or abroad),” Holly concluded.
My Son Decided Taking The Labels Off Everything Was A Great Idea
The first task on Taskmaster tonight: "Find the can with cat food. Your time starts now."
Load More Replies...All canned goods have codes on the bottom, the companies make their coding public, so you can literally google what is in each can and re-label
Seriously, thank you for that info! My 2 y/o did the same and I had no clue there was a solution.
Load More Replies...I'm pulling this when I move out. ripping off all the labels, replacing water in waterbottles with vinegar, giving mom glitter bombs instead of bath bombs, covering the lawn in instant potatoes so the next time it rains, they have a potato pit and several more. karma's a b***h, narcissistic a******s.
Im not your mother, but I would rate a glitter bomb over a bath bomb
Load More Replies...Someone pranked a friend this way when he got married...brutal--ly funny
My cousin did it to his sister as well. Funny but BRUTAL.
Load More Replies...My partner used to do this, untill I told him I don't which ones are the rice pudding and fruit salad. Must have opened the majority of tins to find them and loads of open tins of soup. You know what we had for the next few day to eat.
My son has a compulsion to tear up paper into shreds. He's done this a few times. I've taken to using a sharpy to list contents on the ends. He also takes the cardboard boxes for frozen dinners (with the instructions) and boxes around the cereal.
Mystery Night Food tonight followed by what is that smell located ... great parenting games.
Explain that the rules are: he now has to choose and eat one tin a day of whatever is in it.
Back in the day we used to have special offers for which you had to send off a number of labels. My late mother, always one for a bargain, used to buy the requisite number of tins 'in case the offer ended', take off the labels and write the contents on the can in pencil, (felt tips were not a thing then). The problem was that she was a fastidious house-keeper, and her dusting eventually wiped off the pencil legends!
When I was a kid, our basement, which was also our pantry, was flooded due to a hurricane. We were eating mystery dinners for six months.
Sometimes, you can get an idea of what the item inside is by shaking. A can of condensed soup shakes differently to a can of vegetables. Plus, the size and style of cans can help. (Helped somebody that had a flood, and the water soaked off the labels.
My kids did that when there was a Cambell's Soup label competition at school

Load More Replies...This post reminded me why I’d make a bad parent, my anger would’ve gotten in the way first and I would’ve treated my kids like how I was treated growing up
More evidence we were all jerks at some early stage of our lives
I’m so glad that most parents/society have changed in their views towards corporal punishment of kids. I would have gotten actually beaten by my mother for doing any one of these things. XD (I was a naughty kid, so I got hit quite a bit.) my sister thinks I’ll be sad when my mom dies. Ha, nope! Hopefully these parents have better ways of dealing with their kids and they’ll have good relationships with them :)
I was thinking the exact opposite! I was spanked a few times (never after the age of three) and that was enough to make me never pull any of this shït. Accidents happen of course, but this collection of out-of-control kids and anger management problems is insane!

My younger sister did, too. She bounced up like nothing happened. I was screaming for my mom, and by the time Dad made it outside, my sister was up, running around like nothing happened. No broken bones, no concussion. I think my mom had an out-of-body experience.

Some of these are accidents but I can't understand where the parents are while the kids are doing these things. I didn't leave my kids unsupervised when they were 2 years old.
My 3-year sister got up EARRRRRLY Easter morning and we found her standing naked on the kitchen counter covered in blue food coloring. It wouldn't come off, so she had to go to church that way.

People: go and say sorry to your parents and tell they did a good job with you and you love them. Cos chances are you did exactly this same s**t to them when you were a child.
I believe by being a parent your life is by default worse than mine
Call me weird, but I can't get any joy from viewing instances of other people having a terrible day; in fact, if anything - they elicit a degree of stress.
Kids are digital terrorists. I'm glad mine will have to pay for his own stuff.
Nearly 100% of these are "I was a terrible parent leaving my child unsupervised with dangerous objects and now I'm whining about it".
Kids are surprisingly sneaky and creative when it comes to destruction. It doesn’t matter how careful you are. They’ll always find a way. No amount of care or supervision will complete eliminate every chance a kid has to cause trouble. You can limit their opportunities to destroy and cause mischief and you definitely should try to but it’s unrealistic to think you could stop them 100% of the time. Kids are brilliant when it comes to taking advantage of any minuscule opportunity. They don’t need long.
