20+ Parents Who Know That Life With Kids Is Full of Surprises

Being a parent is not just about taking cute photos of the baby and watching them sleep. It also means being ready for anything at any moment. Seeing that they drew on your things, broke your devices, or got slime in their hair — it’s impossible to predict where children’s imaginations will take us next.

“Got my toddler new shoes over the weekend. He just threw one of them into the fireplace.”

“Okay, watch, I’ll let her know.”

“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.

“My daughter just said, ‘Here, Papa’ and put these in my pocket. I have no idea which piece of cheap furniture is now dangerously unstable.”

These are fixing elements used in furniture.

“I turned my back for one second, and my son decided to make an omelette.”

Moms can get so tired that they don’t even notice little things.

When your baby is a future artist:

“The aftermath of my daughter and her Barbies after using my tub tonight”

“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.”
