30+ Hilarious Situations Only Parents Will Understand

We’ve all probably seen pictures of perfect parents with their perfect kids on social media. But if you have children, you definitely know that it’s just a ruse, to make their reality look better than it actually is.

No, parenthood doesn’t smell like roses, but the joy and love that our kids share with us is worth everything. So don’t get upset about colored walls, damaged clothes, and spilled flour.

Bright Side has collected photos depicting parents’ unvarnished lives with their restless kids.

“Parenting tiny humans summed up in one photo.”

Anything that can get stuck in hair will definitely get stuck in hair.

And fashion trends.

If they don’t eat, they definitely try.

They’ll make a mess.

Sometimes you just want to take a photo. But you get this:

Or this:

Mom: “You’re so cute! Let me take a pic of you!”

Son:

But sometimes everything changes.

No personal space

When you say it’s time to go to bed:

Really, why would you lay in your room with lullabies for a nap when you could lay on an economy pack of paper towels?

They don’t need a sofa either.

When you try to put your kids to bed:

Sometimes they aren’t satisfied.

And they literally stand on our heads.
