“Why My Kid Is Crying”: 49 Hilariously Stupid Parenting Stories Shared On This Facebook Page
Interview
Anyone who’s raised kids or worked as a babysitter knows that they can go on emotional rollercoaster rides at times. Before you know it, here come the waterworks, and you’re left there, completely stumped, trying to figure out what caused the munchkins to be in tears. It might have been something random like a pancake that was ‘too spicy’ or not being allowed to play around in horse dung.
‘Why My Kid Is Crying’ is a roaringly funny Facebook page that collects all the hilarious and silly reasons why children have ended up bawling. Scroll down for the best posts and don’t forget to say a silent prayer for these patient parents who clearly deserve a long vacation.
We were interested to learn more about 'Why My Kid is Crying,' so we got in touch with one of the co-founders, Amy, who created the page together with her friend, Erin. She was kind enough to tell Bored Panda about the idea behind the social media project and shared some great advice for overwhelmed parents. Read on for the full interview.

Oh my sister does this all the time. She says she's full so my parents ask if I want the leftovers and I say yes, then she gets annoyed.
"The idea behind Why My Kid is Crying is mostly because kids are exhausting. They cry for the silliest reasons," the curator of the Facebook page, Amy, opened up to Bored Panda, adding that having a community you can open up to can help you get through the harder days.
"Kids can definitely be unpredictable and it's important to find humor in the chaos. Our Why My Kid is Crying page is a great way to connect with other parents who can relate to the challenges of raising kids," the mom said.
Amy said that she and her best friend, Erin, had their sons 3 days apart and that eventually became the inspiration for the entire page. "We would just share the funny stories with each other about our kids and why they were crying. So we thought other parents must be going through the same thing. We both started the page together as an outlet to just share and connect with other parents and just laugh together."

The co-founder of the page agreed that parenting is definitely exhausting. "It's definitely not easy, but remember to take care of yourself too. Self-care is important and it's okay to ask for help when you need it," she told parents everywhere that they need to remember their own needs as well. You can't focus on everyone else at your own expense all the time.
"Don't forget to take breaks and spend some time doing things you enjoy. I was once told when I became a new mom, 'The days are long but the years are short.' And if that's not the truest thing ever," she said.

Get a pencil eraser, rub it across his lips a tiny bit firm, top and bottom, and then say… ok they’re gone. I left the illusion of them so others wouldn’t tease you for not having. Lips anymore. If you want them back, let me know. When they want them back, take a pen not open, and firmly trace and outline their lips. Then show them in the mirror you put them back on. It also say, you can only do this 3 times, after that.. the lips are on your face forever!

Bored Panda was also curious about what parents could do when the waterworks start. The co-founder of 'Why My Kid Is Crying' shared a few useful tips (and we hope you're all taking notes, dear Pandas).
"It depends on the situation, but sometimes all you can do is comfort them and let them know that it's okay to cry. Other times, a little distraction can help," the mom offered some advice.
"Sometimes you just have to laugh through it because they're upset you used the red bowl but they actually wanted the blue one. But it's always important to remember they are little kids with big emotions just trying to learn how to deal with them and looking to you for guidance," Amy said.

Probably the best way to deal with stress as a parent is to look at the types of temper tantrums featured in this list from a different perspective. Try to see the comedy in the entire situation, even if, in the moment, you’re feeling frustrated and confused. Sharing moments like this with your family, friends, and random internet strangers, can help you focus on the humor.
Another secret to staying sane as a parent is to learn to ask for help. You’re a parent, but you’re not just a parent: no matter how family-oriented you might be, you’re a human being who has other needs and ambitions. So if you feel like you’re losing the plot a little bit (read: going insane from picking up the Lego for the twelfth time that week), ask your partner for a breather.

Take a few hours or half a day off to be with yourself. Go on a hike. Do some exercise. Paint or read or write in silence. Or just book a hotel room, take a nice long bath, and get some well-deserved sleep. If you both need some time off together, get your relatives or pals to babysit for a little while. You shouldn’t feel guilty about needing to recharge.
In our experience, there are a few straightforward ways to deal with tears. If your kid is bawling like it’s the end of the world, you could try to distract them or make them laugh. It’s hard to be upset when you’re giggling or looking at a cute doggo. However, keep in mind that distracting someone a child from their emotions might not be good for them in the long run, so use that tactic sparingly. Something else that works equally well is simply… embracing the situation. Accept the fact that your child is upset, but don’t feel like you need to put on a performance every time there’s a tear over ridiculous stuff.

Primarily consent. Same reason people have a problem with circumcision (male or female). You're not doing it for the child, you're doing it for yourself. Secondly, it's a wound, it can get infected. And you're doing it to a child that's not old enough to say "hey my ears feel sore" and still has a weak immune system to boot.

Lakota Wolf 2 years ago
Well, kids are born without morals/ethics (so to speak.) They are essentially sociopaths. They must be taught their society’s rules by their parental figures. Sooo… kids are kind of born “bratty”, so to speak, but the onus is on the parents to teach them things like “we do not stab others, we don’t even PRETEND to stab others” XD

Load More Replies...Be there for your child, support them, hear them out, but you don’t necessarily need to try and solve the problem. Because, sometimes, there’s no problem to be solved either way—your lil’ munchkin might simply be upset that you’ve set boundaries or stopped them from doing something dangerous.
Other times, your child might be tired, hungry, hurt, ill, overwhelmed, or confused. Just like we all feel, from time to time. Hug them, give them a snack, go for a walk, read a book together, find some other fun activity, or simply take a nap. Give it some time and they’ll be bright and cheerful again. Tears are a part of life, and it’s perfectly fine to be sad from time to time. Even if it is about pancakes being ‘too spicy.’

Give her the toilet brush and teach her that that is the toilets "tooth brush" and put some toilet cleaner in & refer to it as toilet "toothpaste".

"We wouldn't let him go inside and eat frozen bacon"
Random crying is not something that’s very rare. And that’s the beauty of the page: the content is incredibly relatable. Add some hilarious situations, a dash of weirdness, and some good old-fashioned venting, and you’ve got a powerful recipe for internet content that hits just right.
The thing is that as long as the internet continues to exist and people keep on having kids, parenting stories and memes will continue to be popular. It’s an evergreen topic (like cat pics and work rants).
However, that means that there’s always going to be some tough competition to stand out from other pages that tackle parenting. Carving out a niche, like focusing on ridiculous reasons why kids cry, is one way to set yourself further apart.

I’m not sure why, but so many of these I have to wonder if the parent isn’t entertaining the fit too long. At a certain point in their development they’re capable of understanding nonsense doesn’t fly. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it deal with it or find something you can live with. If you just want to pitch a fit you have chosen to take a nap or be left to yourself until you feel like being sociable; mom isn’t obligated to listen to screaming because she has choices too.

My mom told me that when I was a toddler they took me to one of their friends party or smth but anyways another toddler who probably just learned how to walk lost his or her balance and fell into my moms leg and grasped on. So when I saw this I ran over full tilt as fast as my little legs would go pushed the little dude off and I hugged her leg

"Because we left Target"
EarthGrowl 2 years ago
I think the human mind blocks out these traumatic experiences that adults must suffer thru from their offspring. I know my kids were screaming brats but I cannot remember a single instance now. But I do often wonder how humanity survived to build our civilization. You know 10,000 years ago some kid was crying because it's parents wouldn't let it eat a rock. But back then they could throw the kid off a cliff. The loud one probably attracted predators. This makes me glad my children are grown and I have no grandchildren. Just grandcats and grandrats.

"I won't give him candy for breakfast"
Lene 2 years ago
We had to move all the candy into a box and move it to an entirely different room because our oldest kids would wake up early and get downstairs and eat as much candy as they could. So.... their Friday night-candy is super duper supervised now during the week and I make sure they only sort of know what room the candy's in, but not where the candy is actually at. Lol. It's a military secret now.

I find it really sad and creepy that parents are taking pictures of their crying and distressed children for internet clout…
ConstantlyJon 2 years ago
Honestly, many of these are just "maybe let your child have that bad experience so they can learn that it's a bad experience and not want to do it anymore." There's a big difference between "don't let your kid put that fork in a socket" and "don't let your kid try to eat the dog food." I can guarantee you they'll only try eating dog food once, and it won't hurt them. If they're gonna cry either way, they might as well be learning a lesson. Too many parents try to teach by talking instead of by letting them learn. That's just not life, and it's too exhausting to constantly be straining to keep them from all bad experiences ever.

Whilst i don't agree taking pics and putting them online, I imagine the parent is secretly laughing at the theatre. My kid asks to have a banana opened, to only cry once you've done it. EVERY TIME. It's all about educating them in decisions and consequences.

I think some of these are funny to us, but to a kid these moments are genuinely distressing and it's not cool to take and post photos. I also have a similar story to share tho. When my brother was like 1 or 2, he peed on his own face while getting a diaper change and then glared at my mom for the rest of the change as if she did it.
