Being a parent means always being ready for anything. Kids can surprise you with all sorts of unexpected situations, and you never know what challenges or issues might come up from one day to the next.
“Just found out that my boys have been purposely doing this — for over a year now just to joke against us on laundry day. Wearing mis-matched socks.”
“Got my toddler new shoes over the weekend. He just threw one of them into the fireplace.”
“Okay, watch, I’ll let her know.”
“Kid found the button for the sunroof.”
“My son decided that taking the labels off everything was a great idea.”
This makes one hour that they’ve been looking for their car keys that their kid buried in the sand.
“I turned my back for one second, and my son decided to make an omelette.”
When your baby is a future artist:
“Daughter made this for me a couple years ago. Look at the back today.”
“The aftermath of my daughter and her Barbies after using my tub tonight”
“I had a trimming mishap a few days ago and had to shave off my beard. This is how my children mock me. She has more facial hair than I do.”
“She’s 2 weeks old, and she’s already judging me.”
“My 2-year-old son made a puzzle.”
“My daughter found glitter.”
“Stepped out to put the roast in the oven. Came back and my 2-year-old handed me this. Should not have left my purse in the living room.”
“My 3-year-old son found my wallet when I was cooking during arts and crafts time.”
“My toddler dropped a dirty cat toy in my coffee and now both are ruined.”
“I spent 45 minutes scrubbing.”
“Didn’t notice the cardboard book thrown inside my toddler’s laundry basket and created paper mâché inside my washing machine.”
“My 2-year-old got into the pancake mix while I was in the shower.”
“2-year-old art on my wife’s best shoes.”
“My son put his toy ball into an empty water jug, and now I can’t get it out.”
“My 3-year-old decided to put lipstick on everywhere except for her lips.”
Kids can thrill parents with unexpected issues or challenges every day. From small mishaps to big decisions, parenting is full of surprises that you have to be ready to handle at any moment.
It’s a constant learning experience, that keeps you on your toes as you navigate the joys and struggles of raising children.
