After the kids are born, the lives of young parents turn upside down. Except for getting an unlimited access to happiness, love, and cuteness in their lives, they have to deal with a lot of nerve-shattering situations. They can’t escape it, but the most stress-resistant moms and dads find the strength to laugh at the pranks their offspring manage to pull off.
We at Bright Side understand that raising kids is a very difficult task, and even children of the most responsible parents can sometimes get out of control. And here are 16 examples that will prove this to be true.
“I got that face when I asked her not to kiss the manhole cover.”
“Dad, when will you be done?”
“We had to shatter the toilet to see what the reason for the blockage was. This is what we found.”
“The way my little brother eats strawberries — and then he just leaves them out all night.”
When you work from home:
“My friend bought 18 toilet paper rolls and her daughter put them all in the bath.”
If you have kids, at least one of them will be like this:
She just wanted to make “potty soup.”
“My son discovered that I’m not really at work, but I’m working from home instead.”
“I caught my daughter trying to plan an escape from home.”
She just wanted to take a bath.
“I never thought I’d have to vacuum my washing machine.”
“My daughter decided to toast some biscuits on the heater and not to tell me about it for a couple of years.”
“The room started to smell like an apple pie but I had no idea where the smell was coming from.”
“My son found my ’fishing rods’ in the bathroom.”
“I’m trying to work, but my 4-year-old son is sitting on the kitchen table behind me wearing a Spider-Man costume and whispering, ’Can you feel me breathe?’”
“In case anyone is wondering how my parenting is going, this is my 3-year-old son cleaning his potty with my toothbrush.”
What pranks have your children pulled that you’ll never forget?
