Parents Share When They Found the Humor in Their Child’s Meltdown

One of the best things you can learn to do as a mom or dad is to laugh in the face of the absolute absurdity that is life with little kids most days.

They have no idea how to human, or how to life, and sometimes those things combine into an epic explosion of emotions.

As their parent, it’s your job to catch the mess and show them how to wrestle it all back in the box – and trust me, that’s easier to do if you don’t take any of it too seriously.

13. Tell yourself again how you should get ready earlier.

I’ll wait.

12. Is there an appropriate time to play with butter?

You know what? Don’t answer that.

11. No explanations necessary.

Let that be a lesson for everyone else, as well.

10. At least he’s honest.

And curious, too!

9. The silent scream.

They can hold their breaths for a really long time.

8. Even butterflies can set them off.

You really never know.

7. He’s just worn out from the water park.

Not that it helps you now.

6. Enjoy her not being able to spell while it lasts.

Then again, she probably wouldn’t care anyway.

5. Kudos to Mom for knowing the difference.

Hat’s off to moms of girls.

4. Yes I think she’s doing it right.

If not, who will know?

3. It’s a disappointing world.

On the upside, we’re not incinerated.

2. *sets tweet down*

*backs away slowly*

1. That must have been a good one.

I bet his wife is thrilled. For today.

These are some high parenting marks!

I hope that the next time my kid melts down I can remember to be so cool under pressure.

Parents Who Are Definitely Smarter Than Their Kids

I don’t know if I’m smarter than a 5th grader, but I am sure that I’m smarter than my preschooler – even though he’s pretty certain he’s the cleverest being alive.

They just don’t have any experience, and also they have no idea how the world works – if these 14 kids prove anything, it’s that they’re totally weird (and they have a lot to learn).

14. None of that is right.

Dunce cap.

13. It’s all about how you phrase things.

They’re easily fooled. For now.

Image Credit: Reddit

12. Sometimes the question shocks you into silence.

And not in a good way.

Image Credit: Reddit

11. It is frustrating when you don’t get what you want.

You’ve got to sympathize with the kids.

Image Credit: Reddit

10. Bless her heart.

And she’s admitted it, too!

Image Credit: Reddit

9. Is his middle name Gullible?

If not, you missed an opportunity.

Image Credit: Reddit

8. My favorite thing is that the parent took this picture instead of helping.

You gotta get your laughs, I guess.

Image Credit: Reddit

7. They don’t tend to raise their eyes.

My kids can’t find a darn thing.

Image Credit: Reddit

6. Be free, little slugs.

She only had the best intentions.

Image Credit: Reddit

5. I mean just. Why.

HIS FOOT.

Image Credit: Reddit

4. Life’s full of tough choices, kiddo.

Might as well learn that now.

Image Credit: Reddit

3. That was his best guess.

I’m absolutely dying.

Image Credit: Reddit

2. That might buy you five minutes.

Depends on how earnest they are.

Image Credit: Reddit

1. Another dream bites the dust.

You hate to see it happen, really.

Image Credit: Reddit

The weirdness of kids is actually one of the most charming things about them in my book.

What’s the weirdest dumb thing your kid has said or done? Share with us in the comments!

These Kids Have a Lot to Learn, But We Still Admire Their Effort

There are a ton of things that I will miss about my sweetlings being littles, but one thing I am looking forward to is having kids who can give as good as they get in the sarcasm department.

That, of course, involves them having a bit more of an understanding about, you know, life and stuff – something these 11 posts will prove toddlers and preschoolers are definitely lacking.

Parents Who Have Totally Had It With Distance Learning

Distance learning is one of those things no one asked for, but everyone is getting it these days anyway. Like socks for Father’s Day, or a gift certificate for a pedicure somewhere that’s not your place, if you’re a woman.

We’re all doing our best, which is better some days than others – but these 18 parents are really just ready to chuck it all right in the bin.

18. A truer GIF has never been shared.

Screaming is accurate, too.

17. We hear what we hear.

It’s probably not what the teacher said.

Distance learning from memes

I haven’t dressed for anything in months.

Not forever. But longer.

Good thing I’m Gen X, and therefore do not care.

I wish I could tell people to mute themselves in real life.

I mean, maybe you don’t have to imagine.

Thanks for taking the hit.

I’m sorry, that’s just the rule.

9. Spoiler alert: they’re never leaving.

The “breaks” aren’t for you.

At least it doesn’t include profanity.

Honey? Right?

It’s the only way to go.

Why are they like this?

That shouldn’t be allowed currently.

Because it feels like at least double.

How are they making that happen?

Parents Who Were Tough Enough to Laugh in the Face of Tantrums

No one likes it when their kid throws a tantrum, but listen – it’s inevitable, and it’s not your fault, no matter what sort of judgmental stares you get in the line at the grocery store.

Learning to manage emotions is a normal and healthy part of childhood, so there’s no reason to feel embarrassed.

An excellent lesson, but if you can go one step further and learn to laugh about it, you’ll be on your way to being as chill as these 10 parents.

10. It’s a short list.

Non-existent actually.

9. A miracle is one word for it.

I guess it depends how much you love dealing with yourself.

8. Well that’s a conversation.

Yet another one you probably never imagined having.

7. Probably time for one last call of your own.

You’re gonna need it to get through bedtime.

6. Who could stay mad at this face?

No one in their right mind.

5. Seconded and carried.

How could it be any other way?

4. And again at 5 am.

Or any other time of the day, randomly.

3. He’s just worn out from the water park.

Not that it helps you now.

2. Enjoy her not being able to spell while it lasts.

Then again, she probably wouldn’t care anyway.

1. Just in case you missed it.

It’s hilarious how they think we’re deaf.

 

I think whether or not you’re able to laugh depends on the day. Like, today, I wasn’t able to laugh that much. Because my kids were being monsters.

But Fridays… oh yes… that’s my laughing day.

Tell us your secrets for navigating a public tantrum down in the comments – we need tools!
