A mother singing, not being allowed to eat a candy wrapper or not being able to play with dirty diapers — a child’s life is full of disappointments! So, the best way to show their anger at this unfair world is to throw a tantrum. Though somehow, if we look at this from another angle, the whole situation turns out to be rather lovely.
Bright Side couldn’t stand hearing about these acts of bad parenting and decided that we must share them with the world. How dare these parents act like this!
1. “Never tell your horse-loving daughter that she was born in the Year of the Monkey.”
2. “My brother crying because he can’t blow out the candle on my birthday cake”
3. “He cried for a solid 5 minutes because we wouldn’t let him drink syrup from the bottle like Buddy from Elf.”
4. “He just realized that adult meals don’t come with free ice cream like kids’ meals do.”
5. “They realized all the donuts at the party had been eaten while they were off playing on the swings.”
6. “He was crying because he didn’t have cereal in front of him (cereal is in front of him).”
7. “He gave himself a haircut for his school photo tomorrow.”
8. “I sang along to the song he was listening to.”
9. “She wanted the pacifier out of the kid’s mouth on TV...even though she already had one.”
10. “He wanted a cookie. He has one in his hand and 2 in his lap.”
11. “I wouldn’t let him eat my snotty tissue.”
12. “I wouldn’t let Frankie choke on this wrapper so I’m a bad parent.”
13. “I wouldn’t let her watch 300 with me.”
14. “Wouldn’t let her eat a wet wipe.”
15. “My wife wouldn’t let him play with his dirty diapers.”
