Parenting Fails That Prove That Raising Children Is The Hardest Job Out There

Most parents will straight up tell you that parenting is a tough job. But most of us don’t realize just how hard it can be until we have kids of our own. We can feed them, change them, hug them, and tend to every need they may have and they will still cry, complain, and mess up the whole house.

And nothing proves that better than these parenting fails that are so epic, they’ll make even the most enthusiastic couple think twice about having kids. These hilarious mishaps really showcase the true determination it takes to raise wild and rambunctious children.

Dad Joins Daughter for a Nap

This poor dad was so burnt out that after putting his one-year-old to bed, he decided to fall asleep on the comfortable carpeted floor. But given that kids that age cry a lot, it’s only a matter of time before the ear-piercing wailing of his child wakes him up.

Daughter Creates Tape Mask

Mom left her 7-year-old daughter alone for 10 minutes while she went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. This proved to be a major mistake because when she returned she saw that her daughter had created a full-face mask using tape. Creepy but cute!

Dad Sends Kid Flying

This dad flung his kid up in the air while he was in the pool because he thought his son would love it. But judging from the child’s face, he either wasn’t ready or dad threw him towards the edge of the pool and he was only moments away from true disaster.

Potty Training Needs Some Work

Most kids are so used to doing their business in their diapers that it’s a hard adjustment learning how to hold it until they can make it to the toilet. But one mom, actress Anna Faris, had the genius idea to let her son wear swim trunks while he learns the process of using the big boy bathroom.

And judging from the puddle under his legs, this kid still has a long way to go before he graduates from potty training.
