I never thought about it like this. If I woke up somewhere else now I'd start crying like a baby too.

Bing born must be terrifying then lol.... esp by c-section. The wall opens up, you get yanked out naked, and it's cold and you don't know these people.

My daughter was born by csection after my ex spent 50 hours in labour. Must have been terrifying. But within 10 minutes i was talking gently to her and she was staring into my eyes. Which always amazes me, she'd never seen eyes before. She probably recognised my voice though.

Absolutely! Labour must be pretty crazy and terryfing to begin with... and then it's over and you're somewhere else where the lights are super bright, sounds are much sharper and all of a sudden all these people you've never seen before and never heard before are touching you, moving you, talking to you and you can't understand what they're saying, what's going on, and/or communicate what you want or need... so terrifying and frustrating! I'd start crying "like a baby" too!

Too true. I've often thought that. What's cool is that I'd be freaking out. I'd think I was having a blackout, if I'd gone to sleep in one place, but I woke up in another one, without knowing how tf I got there. But babies just wake up, look around sleepily, and accept it. Like, "Where am I? Oh. Cool. Teleported to Walmart this time, looks like. Love Walmart. Where's mom, tho? Oh there she is. Alrighty then. Everything seems to be in order. Chop, chop, y'all. Let's shop!" Wonder when our ability to just be in the moment, and roll with it, like that, goes away? Probably age 2. Two year olds aren't known for being easy going. Or for rolling with anything. Pity.

I read some research, according to it babies perceive the world in many ways the same as adults - they are scared, bored, lonely, hurt, etc. the only difference is that they stop remembering themselves until a certain age. maybe that 's why we are all inadequate and problematic ? that all these mental traumas remain on the subconscious

    Ain't that the truth. A truth we're left to discover on our own, I might add. No wonder everyone looked at me in that weird way, and said, "Bless your heart." and, "You poor thing!", all the time, when I was pregnant. I thought they were being sympathetic to the discomfort I was in. I didn't know they felt sorry for me, because they knew what was coming and they couldn't bear to tell me. Hence, the conspiracy of silence. Thanks for that, btw. B*tches.

    There’s no question that being a parent is difficult from day one, and we’re all familiar with the “terrible twos”. So if you’re sleep-deprived, stressed and tired of constantly singing lullabies, it might be helpful to find some humor in your situation and bond with fellow moms and dads who are in the same boat. That’s where pages like “Mom & Dad” on Instagram can come in. This particular account has amassed an impressive 18.2k followers for sharing relatable, humorous parenting content, and for reassuring followers that “we aren’t all meant to be Pinterest parents.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Many of the pics shared on Mom & Dad come straight from their own content on Twitter, detailing what it’s like to have young kids at home and suddenly feel like your days of going out are over. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with cuddling up with your spouse and kids on the couch on a Friday night and allowing your little ones to eat chicken nuggets three times a week just so that they’ll eat something. This hilarious page reminds parents not to be too hard on themselves and teaches those of us who plan on having kids one day that there’s no point in striving to be a “perfect” parent.

    If you’re a mom or dad of young children, you might be wondering what age is the hardest to parent, to give yourself something to look forward to. If I can just make it past four years old, I’ll be fine! Right? Unfortunately, it’s extremely hard for parents to reach a consensus on this topic. Some say 8-year-olds are the biggest challenges, while others swear those pesky tween years are the hardest. And of course, toddlers and teens are notorious for being handfuls. So the conclusion that I’m inclined to reach is that all ages are the worst. Sorry, parents. It won’t get easier until they’re grown up!

    In fact, Elizabeth Broadbent at Scary Mommy even wrote an article explaining why exactly every age is terrible. But parents shouldn’t lose hope, because that also means that every age is the best. “You see your child at their worst. You see them at their best. It’s natural to laugh at the parents struggling with newborns and diaper bags and think, ‘just you wait.’ But remember: they’re having just as difficult a time as you are right now,” Broadbent writes. “You get used to every age. Every age comes with its challenges, but it comes with the good parts too. You take the good with the bad, the independence with the challenges, the happy with the sad.”

    Jeopardy is over at 8, that's my cue to hit the sack

    Because parenting is so challenging, and never seems to get easier, it’s important for moms and dads to be able to find the joy and the humor in their roles as guardians. For a previous Bored Panda article, we were able to get in touch with the mom humorist behind Mommy Cusses, Serena Dorman. Lucky for us, Serena was happy to share about some of the funniest parts of being a parent. “The funniest parts are when your kids are old enough to start showing their little personalities,” she previously told Bored Panda. “They say and do the funniest things, and it's a weird Dr. Frankenstein moment where you're like ‘I created this…’ The low-brow potty humor is also superb.”

    We cry over spilt milk because it's the worse spill to clean up, there is. Have you ever smelled what happens when a toddler spills a glass of milk on the carpet, and doesnt tell you? Or a baby drops a sippy cup or a bottle, which lands upended on the carpet in your hot car. Milk slowly leaking out, wicking down into the carpet? You get to remain blissfully unaware of it, for awhile, anyway. Until you smell that sour, clabbered milk smell, that's coming from somewhere. When you do finally find it's origin, good luck on getting it cleaned up, and getting rid of that horrible vomitus smell. I recommend an industrial product made for use by school janitors for the removal of vomit and it's accompanying smell, from various surfaces, including carpets. It's that bad. Do yourself a favor and Google this product, then order it. Better to have it, and not need it. Than to need it, and not have it. And realistically, you're probably gonna need it. You're welcome.

    Mine is two very large storage spaces, and I can only afford app many bins, so a lot of it is in garbage bags tossed in as far as I could get them! My summer project is supposed to be getting rid of one space because I can't afford them, but with kids you never know if you're going to have time to eat, let alone clean out storage...

    My children grew up before tablets and ipads, during the time when you were not afraid to spank or tell your child no. When my eldest misbehaved in public he was taken out of situation (room), and when we returned he behaved. No child was ever abused they learned quickly screaming and throwing a tantrum did not get them what they wanted. They younger one rarely tried it, he saw what happens and didn't want to get into trouble too. My grandparents and parents believe the same way. Now parents are too scared to spank, say no, or read far to many books that say the way the old way is all wrong. It is if the person using it abuse it or do it incorrectly. Teach your children if you don't they will grow to be entitled, spoiled adults that we call Karen's.

    My 4 year old has asked for our phones after she saw other parents do that. It was a big no. We explained we go out to spend time together as a family. And it is very annoying when parents do that and we have to listen to the videos or games and our kid who was focused on us gets distracted by that. Kids learn to behave by learning to be present.

Devices are literallybruining kids brains and parents relationships with their kdids. Children learn largely by observation, practice and interactions. So I give no pass for this and I can tell you as a restaurant guest lustening to 30 different devces.blast 30 different audios at the same.time is far more intrusive than a child having a momentary and natrual.melt down on occasion. But parents be like, but my kid doesnt like headphones.

    Serena also previously told Bored Panda that it’s crucial for parents to have a space where they can share their funny experiences and failures with fellow moms and dads. “The first few years of my first child's life, I really tried to be perfect,  and it was exhausting,” she shared. “I was struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety and didn't even know it because those things weren't being talked about much. We have to show the underbelly of parenting sometimes, not to scare mothers, but to let them know it's okay if/when they experience it.”

She wasn't being a smart-ass, she was genuinely curious. But I'm an introvert who struggles with anxiety, and chatting up new people isn't one of my strengths.”

    If we had our second one first, there wouldn't have been a second one. 1) Sleeping through the night at 3 months. Potty trained in a day. Never ran a temperature once. 2) Sleeping through the night at 12 or 14 months, I think he's potty trained now (sophomore in college) Had to have tubes in his ears at 9 months, broke his arm in 3 places in 1st grade, swells up like a balloon whenever any bug bites him.

A few weeks ago we're visiting cousins with 2 kids, they have a daughter (3 yr) (sweet thing) and a son (1yr terror). I watched the amount of energy and effort it took to, not really control, but just to keep this tornado of a tiny human from destroying literally everything in sight and it made me think... My daughter is gonna be an only child. Yup.

    That's actually one theory to explain why babies don't sleep through the night. Some people think that on an evolutionary level, they're making it less likely that their parents will have another baby, thus keeping all the attention and resources for themselves. There's not a good way to test the idea, though.

    Serena also left us with some wise words on parenting. “I recently read the quote ‘motherhood is the hardest thing I've ever loved,’ and it's spot-on. Being a mom is filled with so many dualities it makes your head spin, and you're not a bad mom for thinking ‘I love these kids so damn much,’ but also ‘If one more person who has been in my vagina asks me for something, I'm going to flip a table over.’”

    This should just happen more. My son used to stick stickers to everything, and I didn't like it on my wood furniture. So I bought a melamine sheet at Home Depot (4'x8'), cut it to fit the area (3' x 6'), and screwed it to the wall. A decade later, the kid is still putting his stickers all over it, and not on my furniture.

    I never understood the "let the kid cry it out"-idea. 1) it hurts the kid so deeply. According to science. And a lot of people's personal experiences. 2) if you pay attention to your kid's language/crying from day one you will notice that the cries are different depending on mood and situation. You will be able to hear a difference between "I'm hungry", "I'm sad", "I'm tired", "I'm angry"... etc. So if your kid cries at night, you should be able to hear on the type of cry what the problem is: perhaps the kid's crying because of thirst. So letting him/her "cry it out" may not have to do with being tired or not. At all. Also 3) quickly establishing a routine for night time does wonders with getting the child to sleep. 4) there are the development leaps where most kids just aren't themselves. Why would you let your kid "cry it out" if it's crying because it is scared of what is happening in it's brain? Wouldn't it, honestly, be better to cradle the kid and sing it a song or something?

    I can't help myself, they're just too darn cute! Only my own, mind you. Other's kids will always be crotch goblins

    Having kids may be stressful, exhausting and expensive. But it can also be incredibly rewarding. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and your kids will turn out just fine. Plus, your kids are probably hilarious, and according to Susan Newman at US News, humor might actually be your most valuable tool in raising them. “The more we can call up our sense of humor and put [problems with our children] in perspective, the more likely it is that the parent-child bond will be strengthened,” Newman writes. “Be able to laugh at yourself, too, as your children will learn from you that so many mishaps are not life-changing and far more palatable if taken lightly. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s never too late to start using humor with your toddler or teenager.”

    Except that they do. 3 months old baby might not stick to schedule completely yet but toddlers do. Well ofc their parents don't.

    Always preceded by light grunting, a slightly flushed complexion, and a look of intense concentration. Always followed by an adamant denial of having pooped despite the obvious nasal assault permeating the room.

    It helps when you're a bit weird. I became best friends with another mom who immediately joined me after I started a water fight during a playdate.

    Being an introverted parent can be really rough. My son is 9 and I finally realized this weekend that making random parent friends is not a thing that feels comfortable or works out for me.

    Also works on adults. On the rare occasion that I try to clean and organize my garage, it's like Christmas and I just end up playing with all of my new old toys... "My old flux core welder?! Hot damn, let's stick some s**t together!"
