While kids are not always thrilled to go back to school, for some reason parents do not always share that feeling. Heck, one might say that they are even happy about it.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of overly-excited parents posing next to their not so excited offspring that perfectly capture this 'sad' moment. Do you have a similar photo to share with us? Upload it to the list and vote for your favorite ones!

    Almost exactly like #9- Name is the same, same type of signs, same kind of sign for the little girl, backpack sitting there- wonder if the school or something asked for first-day photos of this nature. Wouldn't be surprised if the girls go to the same school.

    This must’ve been lower on the list, otherwise it would’ve got high marks. Look at those kids! Brilliant!😁🤗🥰

    I think it's more that he didn't go school shopping with mom and this is what she picked out for him

    I really hope that is just a joke, and she isn't making them wear that. Because that would be child abuse. I can already see the kids picking on him.
