A lot of our most unforgettable memories are created with our family. That’s because the time we spend with loved ones is a real-life dramedy. From having your husband be scared by one of your ultrasounds to your kid begging to sleep with a skeleton in their room, we can’t get over how crazy things can get in other people’s households.
Bright Side picked some photos that perfectly capture the hysterical essence of family life.
1. “My friends revealed the gender of the new baby to their kids.”
2. “My wife made a pillow out of my dad’s face and she hides it around the house on occasion.”
3. “One of our ultrasound photos scared my husband.”
4. “My parents hung this above my bed when I was a child and wondered why I had nightmares.”
5. “My mom set the microwave for 75 minutes and not 75 seconds.”
6. “My son insisted on wearing a hat because it was sunny.”
7. “My parents’ stairway to the basement has the creepiest wallpaper.”
8. “My mom put this up on Facebook for my birthday. Parents, man.”

I had to tell mother to not post anything about me. I don't use social media, so I don't know it she listened.
