Let’s all just give a big round of applause to all parents who dedicated their 18 years (or rather, their whole lives) to professionally taming a little daredevil, and often not one but two or three, or more. With bloodshot eyes and not much fuel left in their tank, moms, dads and caregivers keep surprising us all with their sheer level of resilience, straight face, and even a smile.
Because raising kids is not for the faint-hearted. So in order to remind us of that, Bored Panda compiled a collection of posts where kids made their parents' day really miserable.
So that your coffee stain, lost keys and really important email sent out to the wrong address won’t feel so bad!

It Wasnât Even Double Stuffed
To find out about navigating parenting in these crazily uncertain times, Bored Panda reached out to Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce,” which is a professional divorce document preparation service with 20 years of market history.
“The pandemic and isolation have certainly shocked every family with a child. Now our houses or apartments aren’t just places where we live. Currently, this space also serves as an office, a school, a place for activities, etc.,” Natalie told us.
According to her, the situation is twofold. “On the one hand, parents are constantly with their children and can devote more time to them. But on the other hand, not everyone can withstand such a stress test as limited space doesn’t provide an opportunity to direct one’s energy and emotions outward.”

Kids, Sharpies, And A Dalmatian Makes For Interesting Times

I mean, it works. Doggo is not unhappy, the colors are very well distributed. Sharpies in general aren't the best material to work with, but it's on the fur so no immediate danger. So next time give them something that's friendly to the skin and you have yourself a business.
Kelli Lindsay 4 years ago
I used to work for this girl who used a sharpie for EYELINER! I immediately googled to show her how toxic it is only to find out that it's non-toxic, lol. So I told her if she didn't quit it (I mean, it can't be good for the skin around the eyes, right?), I'd tell her mother (who worked with us), lol!

What’s more, the need to combine multiple roles is even more obvious.There are many challenges parents can face during times of pandemic and postpandemic. “First, they have to act as teachers because of homeschooling. However, not all parents have the necessary skills to explain the subject matter to their children easily. Moreover, with this additional role, it becomes more challenging to maintain a balance,” Natalie explained.
“Second, parents can face behavioral problems in their children. Due to a lack of interaction with other kids, the inability to play with someone other than their parents, and a limited list of activities, children can become irritable, aggressive, or hyperactive (it’s purely individual).” Natalie said that such situations are challenging for both the children and the parents.

“Third, it can be difficult for working parents to take care of their children’s daily routines. Kindergartens, schools, and hobby groups are extremely important. They help structure children's lives, fill them with meaning every day, and reduce conflicts in the family. In the new realities, parents have to think about how to keep their children busy every minute.”

Moreover, Natalie explained that during quarantine, people become closer to each other. As a result, personal boundaries are blurred, leading to two possible scenarios. “In scenario one, parents and children start working against each other, causing conflicts. In scenario two, they manage to establish an even deeper connection with each other. The main thing with the second scenario is to not leave the child alone with their fears.”

For any parent who feels overwhelmed with trying to juggle out these duties, Natalie’s advice is to change perspective. “Young parents may feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed out because they take on too much and want to be ideal parents. But remember, the child doesn’t need a perfect mom or dad. They need emotionally healthy parents because the parent’s psychological state directly affects the kids.”
She continued: “Therefore, every time you feel strained to your limits, just stop, exhale, and deal with the problem you can solve at the moment. It will make you feel capable of doing something. Then, try to break bigger problems into smaller ones. You’ll see that there are practically no unsolvable situations.”

At the same time, it seems like there are too many parenting styles and methods out there. Natalie confirmed that the topic is often very controversial, with many parents having strong opinions about raising their children. “But at the same time, the goal is always the same—to raise a happy, healthy, and successful child. Each of the existing parenting styles and methods focuses on it.”

According to the life coach, it is crucial to find the one that works for your child. “For example, the well-known Montessori method may not suit an active child. Waldorf education may not work for children with strong leadership qualities and a great need for physical activity. Technique by Cecil Lupan requires the baby’s mother to spend almost all of her time exercising with her child.”

Natalie added that there is no single recipe to understand what is suitable for your child. Having said that, she also listed some steps you may want to think about. “First, you should analyze your child’s personality and the required level of physical activity, creativity, and socialization. Second, think about the 4 main parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, uninvolved) and try to predict your child’s reaction to each of them. Perhaps in your case, you can’t choose one style. Then, think about how you can mix them or even work out your own.”
Natalie concluded that as a parent, you can also go to a professional psychologist who will talk with you and your child, determine strong sides and interests, and suggest possible options.

I've helped raised kids from infants to teens. They weren't mine but I did help raise them. Parenting is hard, but it also takes parents who actually care and PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR KIDS. A lot of what was shown took a long time to accomplish. That means the parents WEREN"T PAYING ATTENTION. You don't need to have given birth to a child to raise one or just take care of one. You need patience, love and you MUST ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION to the little darlings even if you would rather put them in carboard box and ship their spoilt asses back to amazon.

Had to call my mom (an ex nurse) to come check it & watch him while i stopped the bleeding. Not broken but still had a few black eyes for a few days. He was probably like 2 and hes 14 now.

RedOphelia 13 3 years ago
Why are parents more concerned with posting photos of said situations as content on their Twitter or Instagram feeds as opposed to...making sure the kids can't get into anything that might be dangerous for them? Some of these look like your average accidents in the adventures of life and some just make it seem like one or both parents are really bad at paying attention to what their kids are doing I get that little kids get quiet and are speedy little devils at times but it looks more and more like people just have children to have continuous streams of content and attention on social media. Parenting would be easier for them if they'd put the phone down and actually parent. And yes, I have a child of my own who is 16 now. His father let stuff like this happen but I didn't. My kid got messy but I taught him to pick up after himself and that when mommy says don't touch, she means it, all chemicals and sharp objects were kept up higher and out of reach of his hands.

I was sleeping I woke because my mouth felt sticky & sweet. I sat up trying to figure out why my mouth felt so full. My second shocker was my son sitting beside me wearing a semi toothless little smile. I had no idea how he'd escaped his crib but along with that semi toothless little grin he was pink & shinny his head, Arms, legs and were all shinny. I dectected the scent of some kind of candy. He'd escaped from his crib, made it to his sister's room grabbed a little bag of FLAVORED lip gloss made it back to my room climbed in my bed took a bath in it or ate it or both then fed what was left to me in my sleep. Right now I am grateful he is an adult and just waiting for my brand new granddaughter to avenge me!

Don't hate the children. Hate the parents who allowed them to be little demons and never bothered to correct the bad behavior.

Children are wonderful, but not easy to deal with all the time. I'd like to believe there's some nuance here.

A post celebrating terrible behaviour, and terrible parenting. Wonderful. These are the types of people who let their kid get hurt on a treadmill, then blame the manufacturer.

My parents are always on me about how much I use my heating pad. Ignoring the fact that it's the only thing that alleviates the cramps, they're always yelling about how I'm "cooking my eggs". Little do they know that that would just be a bonus.

In many of the posts there were very young children being left to their own devices. Where were their parents? Or safety locks? Can't blame them for being children.

You'd be surprised how quickly a kid can make a mess. While babysitting my at the time toddler brother I turned around for what couldn't have been more than 30 seconds to grab a box of milk from the pantry and he managed to cross the kitchen and overturn a massive tub of dog food before I even noticed he'd moved.

Why are half of these pics where the parent should've been intervening instead of "tAkInG a CuTe PhOtO oPp!!!" °~° -- just saying, I have my own daughter, and have spent time raising a nephew and a lot of time alone with my other two nephews, any time I found a situation even remotely similar to any of these the first instinct was to get them out of said situation, not "lolOL lemme grab my PhOnE"... ...

My former wife and I didn't want children. When friends asked why, we'd answer almost in unison, "Kids f**k up your stuff." There were more reasons, but this answer was easy for others to relate to.

Basically, this is an advert for not having kids, and a good demonstration of why some people need to sit an IQ test before they are allowed to have kids...

For those of you who comment about not supervising your kids, then stating you are not having any... Thank you for not contributing to the problem.

I've helped raised kids from infants to teens. They weren't mine but I did help raise them. Parenting is hard, but it also takes parents who actually care and PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR KIDS. A lot of what was shown took a long time to accomplish. That means the parents WEREN"T PAYING ATTENTION. You don't need to have given birth to a child to raise one or just take care of one. You need patience, love and you MUST ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION to the little darlings even if you would rather put them in carboard box and ship their spoilt asses back to amazon.

I'll never understand why these parents want to post these pics of their kids being feral. That kind of thing is best kept in the family, only to be retold at family gatherings. LOL>

Because it gets them likes and attention on social media. Which is probably what they were doing when some of these little accidents happened.

Perhaps I'm being harsh, but all I see here are examples of latent idiots. They may be very young but the behaviour is ridiculous.

My kid almost broke my nose with those hard cardboard "starter" books. I had a bad headache & was lying in the couch while he played. He wanted to read, i guess, and came over with it. All i heard was "BOOK!" & opened my eyes to see the spine of it being wailed into the bridge of my nose. First came stars. Then it was blood everywhere! Had to call my mom (an ex nurse) to come check it & watch him while i stopped the bleeding. Not broken but still had a few black eyes for a few days. He was probably like 2 and hes 14 now. We still laugh about it

Good thing I will never have to deal with all of that! Also, condoms are way cheaper than some of the little "accidents"....
RedOphelia 13 3 years ago
Heck, vasectomy, ablasion, and tubal ligation can all be cheaper options in the long run for those who don't want to have children but also don't want to be stuck with uncomfortable condoms or hormone based birth control the rest of their life.

Parents are amazing to me, to put up with all the mess and the screaming and I could never deal with all those things w/o going crazy and livid and this is why I decided never to have kids.
RedOphelia 13 3 years ago
Why are parents more concerned with posting photos of said situations as content on their Twitter or Instagram feeds as opposed to...making sure the kids can't get into anything that might be dangerous for them? Some of these look like your average accidents in the adventures of life and some just make it seem like one or both parents are really bad at paying attention to what their kids are doing I get that little kids get quiet and are speedy little devils at times but it looks more and more like people just have children to have continuous streams of content and attention on social media. Parenting would be easier for them if they'd put the phone down and actually parent. And yes, I have a child of my own who is 16 now. His father let stuff like this happen but I didn't. My kid got messy but I taught him to pick up after himself and that when mommy says don't touch, she means it, all chemicals and sharp objects were kept up higher and out of reach of his hands.

Why give children technology? When they have earned the money to buy it for themselves, they can have it.

School will be delightful for them, I'm sure. Not having access to the same tech as your peers? They won't be behind, in the slightest.

I'm a little curious about some of these. My son is a tad unique. And very funny. But I can't imagine the destructive tendencies shown here. I did lots of wierd things, myself (putting tea leaves in the clothes drier to make tea bags... mistaking boullion cubes for caramel candies... learning about baker's chocolate the hard way... forming "rivers" with the garden hose... even Lysol flamethrowers (YIPES!!!)) Can't say I recall my son, myself, my siblings or any of the neighborhood kids being so destructive. (OK, DECADES later, the holes we dug and covered up to make underground forts in the woods caused some problems for tractors trying to develop the area... but that's not exactly the same thing.)
