Parenting can be tough, and in all the toughest jobs, it’s important to for our mums and dads to keep a healthy sense of humour. Also, us kids aren’t always easy, so can you blame them when they goof off and play with us from time-to-time?
Judging by these hilarious photos, these parents have clearly maintained their sense of humour by trolling their kids, and while we likely found our parents jokes lame in our younger years, let’s face it, looking back at them, they’re pretty funny and it’s more than likely we’ll end up doing the same.
Take a look at Bored Panda's list of parent trolls below, vote for your favourite, and don’t forget to send us your submissions of when your parents mess around with you!

Me As A Parent
Every parent feels that way. We don't always spell it out on their chests during nap time, but we've ALL been there!! xD
Thanks for sharing, this solidarity helps. My three-year-old threw three tantrums today: Because my husband scraped some ice from one of the car windows that he wanted to clear, because after we were done shopping and had left the supermarket we didn't go back in to do more shopping, and because I poured some water from his overfilled glass into his sister's empty one. Sure sure, there are explanations for it, but it just helps to keep your sanity to remember that this a*****e thing just needs to find its way out from time to time, with all children. Btw, this little guy looks adorable :-)

But now it's a bit tricky to use the actual roll, because it's blocked. So all in all, he has to work on his great idea a bit more.
I loathe the loo roll holders that are fitted at both ends. I always find they take too much fiddling with to get the loo roll on! Mine are open one end so it's a doddle. I know I'm cack-handed so it's probably only me that find it an issue for tissue!
