These 17 Parents Are Getting It Done, One Day at a Time

We’re all just getting it done one day at a time, but some of us are better at getting creative when presented with the challenges that parenting and kids throw at us every single day.

As a mom, I’ve gotta tip my hat to these 17 parents, whose out-of-the-box thinking is truly inspiring.

1. As long as they’re safe, I don’t see the problem.

The expressions on their cute faces say they’re worried, though.

2. My kids would be 100% jealous if they saw this.

Heck, I’m a little bit jealous!

3. This is absolutely beautiful.

Way better than the Mickey cake I made last year.

4. While you’re at it, cut yourself some slack.

These are not average days; forget average screen time rules.

5. This seems like pretty much everything that’s wrong with the world.

But I mean, ruining Titanic is good parenting so maybe they offset.

6. My kids would suddenly decide they didn’t need any toys.

They’re clever like that.

7. Cute, but they won’t get it.

Not until they’re older, at least.

8. Parents working from home have it rough.

We’re all muddling through as best as we can.

9. Anything to get them to eat their lunch.

Even turning into Voldemort, apparently.

10. I love this idea.

You get rid of monsters AND your kids rooms smell better!

11. Any day can be Halloween if you try hard enough.

And really, why not? Everything else is crap, so if it makes them happy…

12. Do kids even know about Scooby Doo?

Also those wheels don’t touch the ground?

13. I mean, you can’t go to the salon.

It might not be professional, but it’s better than nothing.

14. Absolutely never judging someone getting it done with three babies.

I would lose my ever-loving mind.

Image Credit: Imgur

15. This mom is way nicer than I am.

Just drink the darn medicine and then sip some water, kid.

Image Credit: Imgur

16. She looks like she’s in a padded cell for heaven’s sake.

I mean…there’s not even carpet?

Image Credit: Imgur

17. Some days are all about survival.

Any parent who has been through it knows what I mean.

I never would have considered some of these things, how about you?

If you’re going to try any of them yourself, let me know which in the comments!

Tweets About Raising Kids That Might Make You Rethink the Whole Thing

Books and websites and forums and groups about parenting are great. They really are, because you’re going to need somewhere to go for support when nothing they tell you can help solve the problem you’re currently facing down with your kid.

There’s no way to prepare for being a parent, and there are definitely moments – like these 16 – that no book could ever guess would happen.

16. They can go round and round for days.

And take you along until you want to puke.

15. I mean, they are humans.

I also hate getting in and also out of the bath.

14. Living with dudes is rough.

And yet we do it voluntarily.

13. I promise no one wants to see that.

Shut up and eat your turkey.

12. It’s a brave new world.

We’re just all trying to keep up here.

11. Sometimes there’s nothing to say.

It doesn’t mean you’ve lost. I don’t think.

10. They really get you with those extras.

It all seems so reasonable at first.

9. Also they will make your nose bleed at least once.

Among other things.

8. It is a nightmare.

You will cut them. They will bleed and you will want to die. (Use the scissors).

7. Maybe there would be one in a book about raising boys.

Sounds about right based on my house.

6. It goes on for years. YEARS.

Of course, you will soon be immune to poop.

5. Three is the sociopath stage.

Also, you should have known her telling you to sleep was a trick. They hate that sh%t.

4. The meals just bleed together.

Because it never, ever ends.

3. Oh but we’ve all been there.

Or somewhere similar. It’s hilarious when it’s not your kid.

2. Oh thank goodness I thought it was just mine.

Why is this a thing though?!

1. This makes me laugh.

Raising sarcastic kids is goals.

Parenting is all about making decisions on your feet, my friends, so make sure you stay limber.

What’s a moment you’ve had as a parent that has just totally stunned you with its randomness? Tell us about it in the comments!

Kids Who Had Some Completely Adorable Misunderstandings

Kids are really cute and one of the most adorable things about them is that they are truly discovering everything about the world and the beings that live in it for the first time.

They’re not dumb, they’re new here!

Here are 16 kids who were completely, adorably gobsmacked and confused by the reality of life on earth.

16. Making sense of English is hard.

No matter how old you are, tbh.

15. I can see how this happened.

Also…I think it could work.

14. Who knew Vaseline could be a gift from the gods?

Anything that stops them talking for five whole minutes.

13. Why not a “cloth?”

Because I think I could really get behind that one.

12. Yeah, because who wears wool?

It’s so itchy and we love sheep.

11. You really never can tell.

Perhaps that’s where her son got the idea.

10. No wonder my kids love Amazon so much.

Transformers have always been the bomb.

9. Yeah they are.

Sing it, little feminist.

8. Is there a story about how they got trapped?

She should definitely write it.

7. He’s not wrong though.

If we were just describing them by their personalities, I mean.

6. Because she doesn’t understand sad.

This is kind of beautiful.

5. Oh my god she’s going to do amazing things.

And completely delight the first man she poops in front of, I’m sure.

4. It really leaves you wanting more.

Never underestimate the effectiveness of a good cliffhanger.

3. That will level some playing fields.

Does he know what/where breasts are, though?

2. The best comedy is funny because it’s true.

So he’s definitely onto something.

1. I’m going to be thinking about this for awhile.

Should we start a petition?

Kids and their curiosity are less adorable when it’s the same question 50x in a row, am I right?

What’s the funniest misunderstanding you’ve ever had with one of your babies? Tell us the story in the comments!

Is it a Good Idea to Store Pans in the Drawer Under Your Oven?

Raise your hand if you’ve recently learned that the drawers under your oven were originally meant to be food warmers, like if you’re cooking a big meal and can’t fit it all in your oven at once?

I’m totally raising my hand, y’all. My whole life, my mother, then I, used them to store things like cookie sheets, muffin tins, and the like – but should you store things like that in there?

Let’s find out together, shall we?

View this post on Instagram

Hi guys. Seriously this is one of the neatest things I’ve ever had installed in my kitchen. I had a complete purge of those unused kitchen items in order to free up a drawer to instal this. It’s a warming drawer and I can honestly say I use it practically every day. I use it to heat up plates before serving a meal or to keep food warm before it is served. I can’t tell you how great it is. It has different heat settings depending on what you’re using it for. Just now I’m heating the plates ready for the curry. ? . . . #warming #warmingup #warmingdrawer #kitchenessentials #ineedthat #kitchendrawers #kitchendesign #kitchendesignideas #kitchendesigner #kitchendeclutter #neatandtidy #kitchenheaven #mykitchen #gettingitright #youneedthis #kitchenhacks #whatsimportant #declutter #decluttering #declutteringtips #kitchentips #clearmyclutteruk

A post shared by InteriorsStorageandDeclutter (@interiorsstorageanddeclutter) on

The basic rule is that anything that is safe to go in your oven can be stored in the drawer.

The oven drawer gets quite hot – which is how it also can keep your food hot – so anything that is plastic, cloth, paper, or the like, will probably melt. It could also catch fire, which means that for safety reasons, make sure you’re double checking everything that goes into it.

Things like pans, Pyrex dishes, skillets, pizza stones, those muffin tins I referenced earlier, and possibly glass lids for those items, should be safe down there. They are all made of oven-safe material and so should be able to safely withstand the warming heat from the oven above.

I also keep cooling racks in mine, but some people keep grill utensils or extra oven racks inside – if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that adults everywhere are pressed for space in the kitchen.

Maybe we should all set Marie Kondo and her ideas loose in our cooking spaces, but I’d hate to lose some of my gadgets, even if I do only use them a couple of times a year!

In any case, remember that the best thing to do if you’re not sure is to check your manual.

And since we live in the now and not the fifty-years ago (when people presumably knew what those drawers were meant for in the first place), you can go online and read up on your particular oven’s specifications and models, since you probably don’t know where your manual is.

Just me?

I didn’t think so.

Be safe out there friends!

Texts That Really, Really Weren’t Meant for Parents To See

Most of us have made a mistake along the way – one where we’ve sent a text meant for one person to someone else. If we’re lucky, it was something innocuous or only slightly weird.

If we’re not lucky, we could end up like these 12 saps, who accidentally sent some totally awkward texts to their parents.

12. When you realize your mistake too late…

But at least it wasn’t a dirty text.

11. This one isn’t so bad.

It’s kind of sweet and I love that the dad gave him crap for it.

10. Do you suppose she noticed?

She definitely noticed.

9. You’ve got some ‘splaining to do.

Assuming your father knows why phones default to certain words.

8. You know she didn’t buy that.

She was just too tired to deal with it.

7. He expertly trolled her.

I can feel the sympathetic pit of dread in my stomach.

6. Well this is wholesome.

I bet that was the best mistake ever.

5. Dad knew he wasn’t talking about reverting to his childhood.

Also that was a terrible cover story!

4. This one is killing me.

Of course that’s what Mom is worried about.

3. “There is something wrong with you.”

Only a true, loving parent could say something like that.

2. I have no idea what’s going on here.

If I was his parent, I also would never want to know what’s going on here.

1. When your parents share everything.

Now you can be embarrassed twice!

I’m dying of secondhand embarrassment.
