What Parenting Really Looks Like

ADVERTISEMENT

Parenting ain't all sunshine and bubblegum. Kids just don't know how to act, and this can lead to some explosively disastrous accidents, like the epic kid fails in this list. They might be having fun, but that's because they're not thinking about the clean-up process. Yet.

If you have a great picture from the darker and more disastrous side of parental life, we'd love to see it in this list! Upvote your favorites, too.
