My youngest son makes soufflé's, my oldest son is capable of burning water
I'm definitely more similar to your oldest son
Load More Replies...I am allowed home alone, will eat healthy by choice and can use the oven whilst my sis is not capable of turning the oven *off* (she knows how to turn it on) and will eat candy/ hoard candy/ lie abt eating healthy and proceed to eat candy. Also cannot be left home alone
Who can, in all fairness. When it comes to toppings, I'll have one of everything please!
Load More Replies...My 18 yr old daughter thanked me for teaching her how to change a flat tyre when she had no phone reception to call roadside assist. Never stop passing on life lessons to your children because they believe they know everything.
Yes.... once we had a flat tire on the way to school and we changed the tire on the highway in 8 minutes, because son and daughter knew how to do
Load More Replies...yes and no. I taught mine how to drive. He was like, "But cars are going to be electric" and I said "Not in Africa mate. Not for at least 30 years. We can't get our s**t together to even provide electricity for TVs. " (google loadshedding if you want to see depressing).
I'm confused. They would still need to know how to drive an electric car, right?
Load More Replies...Children think they know everything....until they grow up and become parents. Then they realize just how much they didn't know.
My son likes the responsibility of putting gas in the car (beats being bored while I do it). For this 13th birthday last year, we took lots of trips in the car because in our state, kids aren't allowed to sit in the front seat until they're 13 (so he looked forward to it like people look forward to drinking on their 21st birthday). At one gas station, he paid for the gas up front, then came back to the car totally crushed because the teller had told him he was too young to pump gas.
They can't sit in front until they're 13???? What state is this? My son had the start of a mustache at 13! He was almost 5'10" by age 12. Should he have sat in a car seat? Crazy. 13 is not too young to pump gas. We have all gone insane to put up with this. There are towns where kids can't go to a park unsupervised.
Load More Replies...It's likely that the 11yo won't drive a gas CAR, but they may need to drive a gas BOAT.
They're also working on electric ones. Gas ain't the future.
Load More Replies...I actually taught my mom how to pump gas when I was 18. She had only ever used full-service pumps but our state did away with them and went to self-serve only. I found it pretty funny to be teaching my mother something so simple!
If it's gonna cost $85 for 16 gallons of gas, the whole family better get something out of this!
I had to drive my mother on Christmas Day (maybe 15 years ago now) to the gas station - about 2 miles away - and teach her how to pump her own gas. She'd been living in NJ for so long at that point she'd not actually done it in at least 20 years.
Hitler was a soldier in WW 1 and lost one of his balls on battlefield. After he gained power over Germany he send his troops looking for it.
HAHAHA!!!! That's the funniest explanation for one of the most horrific events in human history.
Load More Replies...I've noticed now that I am old, that I know a ton of stuff about a ton of stuff, but no one ever asks about it...I'm terrified of becoming that guy that hangs out in the hardware store.
Whenever I go on a walk with my dad,I ask him about any historical event,he adores history and wants his children to be interested in it,so when he hears his 11 year old daughter ask about pearl harbor,the smile on his face as he explains,and the sparkle in his eye, it's always worth it
I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
World War I. And he and his wife were assassinated while traveling. But it was really a lot of small things and their assassination was the tipping point. And his name was arch duke Ferdinand.
Load More Replies...My ex asked my dad what started WWI. Slowly, everyone else snuck out of the room....
lol. I love history and that cracks me up. "You see... Europe was an inbred hellscape with Christians and Protestants fightin' each other... this led to the Thirty Years War..."
Load More Replies...Sounds like my grandfather, father and uncle, they were/are huge ww2 buffs. Sadly none of my siblings are that inte ww2. I love history, but I don't find all the specifics of war all that interesting. The why is however fascinating.
These little daredevils that parents have to deal with from dusk till dawn bring plenty of wonders that simply need to be shared with the whole world. From honest confessions to hilarious conversations and jokes, moms and dads want to make everyone laugh by sharing stories that tell the universal truth of life with kids. After all, raising a human being from scratch is definitely amusing. And quite a challenge too. The never-ending questions, original ideas, tantrums, and what about the full-on meltdowns? No wonder why the second parents get some peace, they want to talk about their highly demanding yet equally rewarding journey and find some comfort along the way.
To learn more about navigating the parenting minefield and how the joy the little ones bring helps parents persevere, we reached out to Jade Lloyd, creator of a colorful family and lifestyle blog called The Parenting Jungle. The multi-award nominated blogger said it’s important to talk about how demanding parenting is. "Because it is hard," she told Bored Panda. "Rubik’s-cube-level hard."
The beauty of todays smart TVs is that you can block all but four channels - leaving only educational channels. Then see if they roll their eye's and say "oK mOm, wHaTeVeR".
In "the olden days" our television had one channel and it went off the air at ten p.m.
Yep! I remember ~static~, but before that it was The Star Spangled Banner and the station "sign off".
Load More Replies...When my niece was little I was explaining how TV was black and white, and we only had three channels, and one of them didn't come in very well. She looked at me, horrified and asked "Were we poor???"
We had only one. But sometimes in fair weather also a poor version of swedish tv.
My grandfather walked miles through snowstorms with metre high snow drifts. Thing is he grew up in Denmark so I have my doubts on the validity of his stories. Denmark isn't particularly cold and you can't throw a rock without hitting a village.
Don't forget the plug in remote..... or in our house the youngest (me) was the remote having to get up to change the channel
and fed to a monster at any moment while everyone laughs
Load More Replies...My kids think Darth Vader is "the dad." They have no idea he's a murderous tyrant. They ask me to dress up as him every Halloween.
Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I think that's sweet actually.
One of my girls always wants to be the bad guy when my kids play some pretend to be from a tvshow -game. When they play smurfs she's always Gagamel. She also puts on the roles of Richard Thomsen (a crook from a Danish tv-show for kids with a detective solving thefts. Richard is an old man with icky teeth) and "angry man" (from another show where a woman helps kids get their stuff back from this angry man who steals their things. Plushies, biking helmets, back packs..... the angry man steals everything). I am beginning to worry what sort of boyfriends she'll drag home with her when she's a teenager..... 😬
Rather, love is seeing, you see deeper than most. Jabba might unknown to the world have a beautiful, allthough well hidden soul.
Load More Replies...That's my five year. Me: Honey, I saw that you've been hiding half eaten food behind your bed. Her: "It wasn't me!" Me: Oh, so somebody broke into your room to stash their food? Her: "Maybe it was a ghost?"
My travel stash vanished, I'd saved up $800 for a trip. Stored it in hundreds in an envelope tucked into my bedframe. My sister's response to being told my stash was gone? "I didn't take your hundreds." She was 24yo.
Sh&thead. Hope you called her on it and got your money back somehow.
Load More Replies...Once when I was 11 I woke up in dead of night to find my younger brother has snuck into my bed....and brought with him 10 pieces of bread....still shook..
I used to love eating handfuls of salt as a 5 yr old kid. My mom had a giant box of salt in one of the bottom cupboards. Those were the days..
"You are handed a baby by the nurse and hit the ground running/nappy changing. There is no transition from an adult who can’t follow Pot Noodle instructions to becoming a parent. Having the responsibility for a small human's emotional, social, and physical development, safety, discipline, and education...," she said, adding that the list of what parents have to think of daily is seemingly endless. "Routine, don’t forget to have a good routine!"
Daily routines give structure to our days and help our family life run smoothly. "We all thrive on predictability and routine," Jeanette Sawyer Cohen, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and child development consultant told WebMD. "Knowing what to expect helps us feel safe and secure."
Once when I was 5 there were no happy meals so we had to eat one of the big ones and called it a sad meal. It still gets called that occasionally 😝
When i was 16 McD came to my country so i never had a happy meal.
Load More Replies...Lol like my daughter. Mom is today Sunday? Me: no its Friday My daughter: oh you mean the day we fry everything.
It's McDonald's... there are no real chickens in there
Load More Replies...I sometimes play minecraft with my daughter and she did this to me but with cats. She filled my virtual house with cats one time I wasn't playing. Next time we played the constant meowing was unbearable. Because I didn't have the guts to kill these virtual cats, I had to build a small house for me to live. So, nice meeting you all, I am the crazy virtual-cat lady.
yeah the worst part about killing the cute animals is the heart wrenching noise they make when they actually die. if i ever have to kill a large quantity of cute animals in minecraft, im gonna use a /kill code and turn the volume off so i cant hear it lol
Load More Replies...Something similar happened with my kids a couple weeks back. 1 of 4 and 3 of 4 (both male) were building in Minecraft. 1 made his building super massive to the point that 3 thought it inappropriate. 3 wanted the building demolished and they had a hilarious dispute that included threats of spawning monsters and cows in the building to the point of overflow. The debate ended in angry flatulence from 3 and an insane amount of giggling and running from the bedroom where all 4 were playing the game together on their phones. This would be understandable with the original post's age group, but my kids are 21, 19, 16, and 14. These are people who could be mistaken for adults. You read that right, angry flatulence.
Sadly ,this does not surprise me! I can relate! Lol.
Load More Replies...my brother did that to himself but with cats and now his world is super laggy lmao
Load More Replies...Come on, I know littleto nothing about this mindcraft but thats is a lot of XP!
Watch out, when they get older, they will mix something less yummy in with the chocolate for jokes. (Like mixing skittles in with m&m's)
Steering your family life towards a healthier schedule includes focusing more on a few crucial moments of everyday life, like bedtime. We’ve long heard about the benefits sleeping gives to our physical and mental well-being, so if we want kids to reach the ideal bedtime, we should start by slowly getting them to bed 10 minutes earlier each night. While younger children usually achieve the goal in no time, older kids may be more likely to cooperate if we stick to an earlier bedtime ourselves.
Another crucial part of our days is mealtimes. Cohen suggested finding a way to label our dinner routines, even if they change day by day. For example, if the little ones need to eat dinner earlier than usual, those days can be "sandwich days." If a parent is working late, "babysitter days." The clinical psychologist explained that "naming these different experiences makes the variety feel more routine."
Having a child means no privacy ever. They will burst into the bathroom at the oddest times for the weirdest reasons...well at least parenthood is never dull.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a parent… Just go in your kitchen, scatter Cheetos and sugar. Then yell “Stop, No, & Don't” about 300 times.
I do this when in presence of my cousin's/friend's kids. And make the happy face. And hats off to parents for being able to do this without getting tired, I get exhausted in some time.
Kids are great ! Once I was having lunch in my mother-in-law with family and she served something that I just love (tacos and guacamole)!! I was eating like "hmm this is so delicious!!" " It is perfect" "Yummy" and so on ... and my nephew just rolled her eyes and said "you are just saying it to make me eat it. I won't give it a try" or something like that but in a kid way lol ... and she's five ... I just laughed and said "girl , this is not about you , it is about the delicious taco your grandma made lol "
Everyone knows if you want a child to eat something you have to tell them they won't like it because it's only for grown ups.
Load More Replies...maybe not the best idea to say that online...don't ever post your age or address or any information like that on a website, because people can use it against you. be careful
Load More Replies...This is unfair. As soon as a kid knows the basics from good and bad it deserves fair statements. Honesty. Childlike of course. But you teach them nothing, not even selfesteem, fun, or joy with it. I stopped with that by mistake but discovered how happy 2 1/2 got. "Ow this rhythm did you show me already. I am curious, can you find out a new one?" Sure, it is another point that needs energy but it is so cute how the kid empowers itself and start to try and reflect itself over the time. Sure, not every time they come up to you showing a jump. Don't get me wrong. It is the internet, haha, maybe lots of you will get me wrong but well. Still post it.
This is the most famous "lol" around! 49 likes?Not me over here with my 2 likes per comment

Load More Replies...Buckle baby in nice and secure, 30 seconds. Buckle 2 year old in, 5 minutes. Buckle 3 year old in that says 'I can do it myself' 3½ hours.
My kid used to scream: this is not my mother! When I tried buckle her up. I am still somewhat buffled that nobody ever called the police ...
We were friends with the police force so my children were well acquainted with "The Law". Once my oldest - at 2 - didn't want to buckle up so I showed him a picture in my driving lessons books with a police man besides a car and a huge buckle sign. That did it. No more problems. Never had problems with the other ones after since the word-of-mouth worked great (it was like playing telephone, it got amplified).
However, maintaining a steady schedule is a challenge. After all, these little bundles of joy add plenty of hilarious situations into our daily routines. Jade pointed out that parents also face daunting tasks such as answering questions like, "'Why can’t I see my eyes?' whilst trying desperately to get them to put on shoes — all whilst juggling enormous sleep deficits and trying to figure out TikTok." Still, the blogger added she is driven by love, purpose, and caffeine.
Then there's the, I'm too sick to work, but I still have to clean, make meals, give baths, entertain, and not be a grump about it. Hold on sweetie, daddy will finish making your noodles once he's done hacking up his lung. I work from home, so that leaves me to do a lot of the parenting as well. Especially in the summer time. Not complaining, I love it, but it's exhausting.
My sister had to spend at least half an hour throwing her kids in the trash. (Lifting them from the sofa and putting them on the floor). Though after a bit she had to start sorting them into proper recycling. They were three then.
Amen! There's more to life than diapers, eventually they want a car and maybe college!!
Definitely go for the hockey mask one. You can set your own hours and the pay is better.
Perhaps a chainsaw carving artist? We've got a lot of those where I am.
Jade revealed that before having children, she had no clue that it was possible to destroy a whole house with porridge and a permanent marker. "I think to make it through the first 18 (to 30, as now they never leave home) years of your child(ren’s) life, you need to have a good sense of humor! Oh, and develop an acceptance of toilet jokes," she told us.
"Again, maybe tiredness and self-preservation of sanity come into it, but the things (especially small) children do, their comments, questions, and complaints are hilarious. The hardest thing is being fake stern when your child does something they know is wrong but justify it with something like, 'I wanted to know what the dog would taste like if I licked it.'"
MOM.I TOLD YOU,WERE OUT OF YOUR USUAL,YOULL HAVE TO SUFFER WAFFLES."oh,nooo...."
If anyone figure out why things like money is always in billions and millions with kids, please let me know.
they're fun words, and probably the largest amounts of money they can think of
Load More Replies...Daddy, do you want to order ice cream? Sure honey, I'll have chocolate. We don't have that. Do you have vanilla? No. Do you have strawberry? No. What kind of ice-cream do you have sweetie? We don't have any ice-cream anymore. Oh, okay. Can I have a hot-dog then? Yes!
If my daughter wanted to play, she got the real thing, but she had to wash her dishes after. That was the deal.
Oh boy! That sounds like my nephews brunch menu when I play with them! I always end up eating the fake bacon!!
I have written this book SOOO many times. Wife, I can't get her to eat her veggies. Me: Oh, just do this.... Wife: Okay, do it. Me: doing the thing. Me (thirty minutes later): I can't get her to eat her veggies. Wife: Oh no, when you take over it's your problem.
I watched my friends’ husband put a dash of sugar in his second daughters’ peas and carrots as they cooked. She is 18 yes after the first baby… Now i know why she loves her veggies and never puts up a fuss.. even spinach! I do not think my friend knows this tidbit, but dad’s secret is safe with me!!
Load More Replies...No parent has successfully figured out to get kids to eat thier veggies.
My daughter is almost 10 and luckily she still reaches for my hand. I’m not ready for that day either.
Honestly if you're doing it right, it will happen, but it won't be forever.
Load More Replies...I still reach out for my daughters hand when crossing a road, she is 32......... still precious to me.
I told our little one that she had to hold my hand to keep ME from walking into traffic (not a stretch). She is 8 and still has to protect me from myself. Worked a trick and technically not untrue.
Gratulation to your daughters first "if I don't take over, Daddy kills himself"-trauma! <3 (I mean it as joke. I hope you clearify it is a joke ^^') if "not a stretch" tells us it is already clear as a joke then I am sorry, I don't know that phrase
Load More Replies...Each child is unique, and they often prove it by coming up with brilliant and humorous ideas that immediately put a smile on their parents’ faces. "Children have no social filter and are wonderfully curious," Jade explained. "They see the world in a completely different way. Everything is a question, adventure, or story. The WHY questions drive parents doolally, but I think as adults we stop asking so much because our brains are too busy with work, grocery shopping, bills, and keeping down Cholesterol."
If there’s one widely accepted truth, it’s that we were more creative and honest as children. When asked whether we can somehow rejuvenate these qualities, Jade told us that creativity isn’t magic. "It’s a skill that children cultivate more than adults, I think. I don’t have time to make rock pets and give them each a name, but my four-year-old does, and that’s awesome."
Me: I said no more talking shhh (3 seconds of silence) Me: so to the end of time you say? 🤔 Tell me more 😂🥰
Great, there's a night of sleep thrown into the body of water as well..
My five year old does the same thing, the old too deep in though so now we can't sleep ploy...that works every time.
And it is these kinds of comments that drag me into an hour long discussion about rocks, the significance of life, and the endlessness of time. My son knows this, uses it against me, TELLS ME HE'S DOING IT AND IT STILL WORKS!!! FFING HOWWWWW????
Ok, I'd have to let him talk bc l gotta know what he just said, you know what l mean
My name is Chad, and well, apparently I'm not allowed to do anything except be a douchebag... I'm not by the way.

Whatever you do, do NOT interrupt or she will have to start over!
My seven year old has decided she lives in the world of the Kirby video games. She will go on for hours about things Kirby and MetaKnight are doing at any given moment. I now hate Kirby with the fire of a thousand suns
Haha hold on tight then bc my 12yo has always done and still does the same thing!!!
Signs of high intellect. My younger son did this ALL. THE. TIME. Freaking genius now. Drove Mama crazy for a decade or so.
As much as these munchkins are clever, they can also come up with questions and ideas that catch their parents off guard. But however odd their words may seem to us, you should avoid mocking your kids and laughing at them. "I make sure to be playful and kind-laugh with my children and encourage them to laugh when they say something funny too," Jade added. "Create a connection. Be careful to say things like 'You are so funny!' instead of 'That is silly,' as words have weight. It is important to boost a child’s confidence and reinforce that humor and joy."
For context, this guy writes Iron Man and Star wars comics amongst others
Thanks for the context. I simply thought what? that's a bit overly cruel ... 😅
Load More Replies...Definitely a level up and more impressive than from 'My Dad is bigger than your Dad'.
The pen is definitely mightier than the sword when wielded by a protective parent!
Isnt there a whole bit on bored panda about this? Asking because this sounds familiar. 🙂
We had a discount at the ice cream parlor whenever it was raining and the kids knew we liked discounts (and ice cream).
When driving by Burger King/McDonald's with playgrounds, I would get my 3 lunch but had them convinced that the to playgrounds were being cleaned so we couldn't play ATM. Never really argued about it either. 😏
Came to say she had one of the new TARDIS line of handbags.
Load More Replies...You're a brave man - I've known many a male who wouldn't take that risk.
I had to go into the courthouse recently. My purse went through the scanner and got stopped because security saw a fork. I said, "What? A fork?" He started pulling things out of my purse and I hate that. He couldn't find the fork, so I offered to look. I couldn't find it, either. Finally, his superior told him to let it go, and I promised not to fork anyone. Later, I found the fork behind the lining of a pocket. I'd grabbed it to eat a salad I'd taken with me somewhere.
Dosen't matter how small or or how big a woman's purse or bag looks like on the outside, it is a whole lot bigger on the inside.
Any mom and dad out there want what’s best for their kids. This usually means working on boundaries and teaching them what’s right and wrong. After all, there’s a difference between a lighthearted joke and one that’s aimed to hurt a person’s feelings. "Sometimes they are doing something funny that is not safe or saying something funny that is not kind or making a joke at the expense of someone else. Then I think parents need to set boundaries for themselves and their children. Sometimes you will need to carefully explain why a joke or situation isn’t funny," she added.
Well, if she's been a good girl, I'd probably go for it since l admire her chutzpah. That's also probably why l ended doing things that l wondered "how did l get talked into this when l thought l said No???"
Brilliant! When my son was younger maybe 9 yo his dad gave him some tapes to listen to on the art of persuasion saying that they were full of really good stuff that he could use in the future. Son started listening to the tapes and he listened to all of them I think there were six. Then he started using what he learned on my husband effectively. All I could say was well you gave him the tapes. Tapes... yes I am very old now lol.
My grandson is almost 7 , but he's gigantic so he looks older . He spent last week wearing his mom's sneakers because they had "sparkly gold" on them . She has giant Fred Flintstone feet too , so they were really big sparkly shoes lol.
My dad taught me to play chess until I beat him, then for some reason did not want to teach me to play backgammon.
Load More Replies...But that doesn’t mean that bending over backward to raise their little ones to be kind human beings should hold them back from having a great time too. Jade told us that when your child comes up with shenanigans that are funny and harmless, laugh with your child. "Enjoy them. My partner told me the other day to stop picking up the phone to film it and just enjoy the moment, which is good advice in today’s social media-heavy world," she concluded.
If it moves but it shouldn't: Duck Tape. If it doesn't move and it should: WD40

Well, I see a future egyptologist is in the making.... or Ted bundy impersonator...
It could have been worse....He could have told you you're beautiful, but failed to mention that you had that red lipstick on 2 of your teeth, as you walked out the door to catch the bus to work.
They did, I have a samsung flip3 and love it. Has a very satisfying "click/snap" when you hang up.
Load More Replies...Oh, the hardships! I must be ancient cos “internet” wasn’t a word in my childhood vernacular, our phones were attached to a wall and we planned our calls, we had to flip a switch and set the telly to channel 3 to watch a few cable channels and video gaming excitement was 8-bit Atari. 🙄
I want the flip phone with the tactile keys back! So difficult to text on a touch screen, especially when the keyboard is small and one is distracted....
If they had to master T9 like we did they would break they have no clue what we went thru with flip phones.
My parents forbade us to observe mother's day and father's day, saying that the whole concept was made up by Madison Avenue to help retailers overcome the bad months between christmases. Instead, they taught us by example that a spontaneous "I love you" was a better gift than all the candy and roses in the world. And it was appreciated on all days, not just once a year.
Yes to the spontaneous I love you's but no reason to cancel mother's day . Present can be anything money not needed ...even a service perhaps like cleaning something or making breakfast..or a poem or song of they're talented like that (or just think they are haha) ...I have 4 babies and the things they come up with to "make mommy feel special" just get better as they get older.. my 21 yr old son showed up for mother's day lunch with a mixed bouquet 💐(with Lillies bc he called his sister to ask my favorite flower) and I felt like the luckiest momma on earth ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it's really about the thought in my family ..all holidays with gifts are.. makes them really have to think about another person and also you learn more about each other in doing so bc it makes you remember their "likes" .. but I always say to each his own.. God made us all different for a reason... 🤍🤍

She was 4 at a crowded bathrooms Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. I am "holding the door for her" on the outside as this is her weird safe thing. All of a sudden she busts out into our Nathional Anthem at the top of her lungs. Wonder who felt like standing.but couldn't at the moment.
Or the loud Mommy you pooted you stink at a volume the whole town can hear.
My kids throw these huge tantrums about how their sisters must NOT see whatever they did on the potty. But when they are with me in a public restroom they don't understand why they can't just leave when I'm sitting on the toilet and they're bored. Perhaps I should start having tantrums about not wanting strangers to see my pee.... ? 🤔
Laughed way too hard cause this is what my granddaughter would say
I am a former kid. Let me tell you: we learn quickly that that's just the long way to say "no."
my dad did that id ask him again two nano seconds this who my future husband is againts me and the kids
My niece now 15, says she remembers me using this phrase. She tells me not to say it because she knows it means no.🤣
Oh but they never do. They could break even the most seasoned Vet. They just wear ya down.
Trying to put the fun in funeral. Now where is that ball pit and bouncy castle?
In the name of the father, of the son and into the hole he goes....
Just came back from my mother's funerals and learned this: "The word funeral itself comes from the Latin funus, used by Ancient Rome to denote all manner of things surrounding death and the dying." I like "funeral" much better than "funus".
And to think I felt so guilty at 19 when my step father passed away bcuz two of my friends couldn't stop making laugh as we we on the way to the cemetery... Of course, I lost a gallon of tears at the funeral, so ...
That happened to me and my brother on the day of my Grandpa's funeral. We got the giggles, I was 14, he was 11. Then it happened at my Grandma's (his wife's) funeral, but it was worse because it wasn't just my brother and I (now 26) that time; my Dad did, too, and it was his mother this time. (Not unexpectedly, sadly.) We just got the giggles, even in the church! But I've read that it's actually a fairly common reaction, and have talked to many more people who've had similar reactions. In so sorry you've felt so guilty for it!
Load More Replies...On the way to the cemetery after the funeral our 4 yo daughter asked us “what’s in the big square car?” We replied “Granddaddy’s body” to which she replied “where’s his head?”
That mindset could be helpful later in life.. Of course it could also lead to some very interesting problems too
I'm really hoping this is a *small* child we're talking about (as in, like, a six or seven year old) and not one old enough to understand what funerals are supposed to be.
Not sure when this stops, though my 24 y.o. isn't nearly as condescending as she once was.
But do you have to remind her to go to the bathroom?

I grew up in the time when there wasn't really money to cater to kids... the rules most of my friends and I lived by was "Eat it. Or don't eat."
It worked for me and it worked with my kids.

My Mom had a plaque in her kitchen that read "I am Queen of this kitchen... I reign supreme. If you don't agree... STARVE!" I now have this plaque... need to cross out Queen though! LOL
My kids ate what I made or didn't eat. They survived. "This isn't a restaurant "
I actually held fast to that one, creates a wider taste palate, they hate you now, but they'll thank you later
There were enough times that what was being served was all that we had and it was eat or be hungry. When there WAS enough I was fine with them eating what they liked or even fixing their own.
Nah, the baby pic is there to remind parents to buy more alcohol because they'll need it.
And I see nothing but bottom shelf on every shelf! (Especially the Corona!)
Maybe the baby pic is there to remind you not to get knocked up while drinking? Maybe who knows. Lol
mum, you're, like, SOOO lame, like, really. Like, get a life.

Huh, maybe THIS is the famous "Noodle Incident" Calvin refused to discuss.
I thought for a second it was the mom who said that to "perfect mom", then skipped off whith her kid. Which would've been perfect! 😹
There's no shame in not being a 'perfect mum'. It's possible that that person's just putting up a facade.
When I was a kid, my mom thought I never used soap because when she touched it, the soap was dry. Thank goodness for body wash.
Uugghhhhhhhhhhh I’m so sick of this one. My 13 year old is on a roll with that one these days lol
But you can pick up blueberries off the floor and wash them. Can't do that with chips.
My son when he was a kid... No one else understood what having "potato" on his French fries meant but his dad and I 🤷♀️🤦♀️
To be fair, I just woke up and do not want your pungent breath all over my face. (Love you, mom.)
Unless you can’t eat it (just get eatable cheese in that case)

Mr. Holland would be so confused with my kids, then. They love historical marker plaques and want you to read it to them over and over again and when they know the text by heart they will recite it with you. Perhaps it's an age-thing and they just like to "read" and to hear mom tell stories that she "made up by herself".
Reminds me of my dad. He even made my mom translate these marker plaques
Yes, I would take my kids on bike rides to Valley Forge, and we'd have a picnic under the arch. They go, "what does that say?" Three words in, and they're wandering off.
I stole my whistle … and a no diving sign I now have in my bathroom

When my son was little he learned that the Sun was going to explode one day. I said like an idiot, "Don't worry honey, that won't be for like 2 billion years, we'll all be long dead before that happens". So, at least I'll understand why he's in therapy in his thirties
Or your dad had turned off the power to the VCR, cos it was wasting electricity.
My grandfather has a lifelong mild obsession with blinking lights. My mom and her sister still complain about coming home from school to discover he'd unplugged the VCR because 'the light was blinking and he couldn't get it to stop.'

you have to get them to hold eye contact, and then say whatever you wanted to say, twice.
To what purpose? It's not that humans listen with their eyes.

The funny thing is that Drake didn't even really "start from the bottom" -- he was a Degrassi child star and everything before turning to music.
Terrible punctuation... "When they're older, they won't want to hang with me" I think, as my kids have 15 things to tell me while I'm on the toilet.

I was in a sweet shop once and found a packet of chocolate flavoured pasta. You were supposed to serve it with ice cream, apparently.

Dishes. Why is the sink full, I just did the dishes 10 minutes ago?
My daughter always announces "spoiler alert" and if I don't allow it, she will ask me every 5 minutes if she can tell me again.
I was a divorced and exhausted mother working two jobs when my seven year old daughter asked me if I liked being a Mommy. I was immediately wracked with guilt thinking of all the time we were missing out on to be together, days when I was cross or too busy to play, etc. I immediately lauched into all the wonderful things about being a mother, how much I loved her, and on and on and on. When I felt like I had reassured her and finally took a breath, I asked her why she asked me that question. She looked me dead in the eye, nodded her head and said she was just thinking about different career options.
My sister sent me a video of her grand kid in class... I can't imagine 22 kids in the same room.
The thermostat. That is the moment I realized I had become a parent. When my kid changed the thermostat and I became enraged.
Thanks to modern technology, my clinical OCD to always have ideal comfortable lighting & temperature along with a desire to conserve electricity, our entire house is “smart.” I’ve spent hours perfecting the lighting, position of the blinds and thermostat based on time of day and weather. The only problem I’ve encountered is an 8yo who has mastered the Home app on his iPad & is fully fluent in both Siri & Alexa.
As a reward, I once let my kid pick out anything he wanted for dinner. A family-sized bag of Takis, which he proceeded to lick all of the seasoning dust off of, placing the slimy remains in a baking bowl. He then took these tongue-lathered remains and dipped them in a jar of Tostitos Habanera salsa or apple sauce. He washed it all down with Hawaiian Punch then had salt-dusted cantaloupe for “dessert.”
My dad was a rocket scientist... I thought he'd be a big hit at career day, but another kid's dad managed an ice cream shop, so my dad was crushed.
I LOVE banana pancakes! My dad has always been "creative" with breakfast, so he tried Orange Juice pancakes once. Don't recommend 0/10.
Lol my dad was “creative” with breakfast and ended up creating apple cinnamon pancakes. 10/10 would recommend.
Load More Replies...I make vegan pancakes with bananas instead of eggs. Coconut oil in place of butter. I don't use chopped bananas, like you would making banana pancakes. You have to mush the bananas into the batter. You really only get a slight banana flavor, and actually the coconut comes out more. If I'm feeling sassy, I make my own syrup from condensed milk (that is not vegan I know, but neither am I or my kids), or condensed coconut milk. The latter choice will get too coconutty for some kids. My kids love my pancakes, and they pretty much hate anything that doesn't come in a wrapper.
I like good natured eye roll parenting comments as much as the next person, but making public comment on your adolescent child’s body feels disloyal and disrespectful. If you want your child to trust you during a really sensitive time in their life then mocking them on twitter might not be the best plan. If I was that kid I’d be mortified.
Its just a phase 😄 had the same situation until my son got pimples and i told him that personal hygiene every or minimum every second day (with water and a self chosen fancy soap) and a personal laundry basket in his room worked wonders! 🤩
What do I think? I think that I don't want kids, that's what I think.
I think that's a fair lesson to take from this...
