50 Times Parents Got Slam-Dunked By Their Own Kids And Just Had To Share The Embarrassment Online
You wouldn’t expect this level of sassiness coming from our precious baby angels who seem like the incarnation of innocence, curiosity and the life ahead of them.
But children are notorious daredevils and they never cease to amaze their parents by serving a shock bomb of various kinds.
This time, we’re looking at times when parents got put in their place not by their bosses, not by their own parents, not by their colleagues or angry Karens ruling the parking lots, but by their own children. You see, this is somewhat of a common occasion parents would much rather remain silent about, because being humbled by your offspring is not always the best feeling in the world, right?

Ouch. Kids Say The Harshest Things
While many kids humble their parents now and then, reminding them they have their own view of the world too, which is just as valid, if not even more, some children take this behavior to a whole new level. On some occasions, children become too assertive and even bossy, not only knowing what’s best for them, whatever that’d take, but also being sure what's best for others, adults included.

Usually, bossy behaviors appear as children begin to explore power in a social context with peers and within the parent-child relationship. There can be many signs that a child is bossy, including: A child has a great idea in mind and she needs others to bring it to life. (“Put the castle over here. You play the baby and I’ll play the mommy.”); A child feels strongly about controlling the outcome of a situation. (“Don’t put the peas next to the mashed potatoes,” “I’m going first.”); A child is insecure and unsure about who makes the final decisions in the household, so he asserts his own power. (“Gimme the cookie before dinner. I want it right now!”)

Nope, Not Cute
Parents are often to blame for bossy behavior in kids because the chances are it was brought out by confusion about who makes decisions at home and inconsistency in parenting. That’s why parenting experts remind parents time and again about establishing clear rules and boundaries at home so there will be as little room for the grey area as possible.
Some children carry on with dominating behavior well into adulthood when parents fail to stand up for themselves. If the adult child lives with parents, new rules may be especially hard to set, not only because they haven’t been already, but also because the child is an adult now and sees him/herself as autonomous.

My Husband Took Our Almost 13-Year-Old Son's Phone Away For The Day Yesterday. Of Course, My Husband Had To Slid This Under His Door Last Night
The real kicker was our son's response. Wise man.
In order to find out more about such instances, we spoke with Lynn How, a professional educator with years of experience of working with kids and the author of “Positive Young Minds.” Lynn specializes in supporting educators, parents, and children with improving and prevention of mental health issues. “Both parents and children should have a mutual respect for each other's space. The children should remember that they are now adults and their parents should not be picking up after them,” she told us and added that “They should also offer to help with cooking and cleaning.”

That's Harsh

Unless Daddy is dating the kid's teacher, Miss Kristin seems like a weird way to address her.
Having said that, Lynn argues that “parents should not be treating their adult kids like children (unless they are behaving like them!) and should encourage their children to help out, learn to cook, etc. for when they do move out.” Meanwhile, according to her, “adult children with jobs and who pay rent and contribute to the household should be free to buy what they want if it doesn't impact the parents' house - A room taken over by a new drum kit might be a step too far, for example!” The life coach added that parents are entitled to an opinion, though, and they may need to share their opinion tactfully.

Good Problem-Solving Skills For A 4-Year-Old
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago
When I was single, I had two cats, Mary and Ringo. When we started dating, my now husband initially tried to claim he was deadly allergic to cats and couldn’t be around my two little lovebugs. I told him we couldn’t date if he felt that way. Love me, love my cats. Besides, how a person treats animals is one of many indicators of how they treat people. Well, he wanted to be with me bad enough to give it a good try. After only ONE day spent together at my place, Mary and Ringo, who were just the sweetest cats, totally charmed him. In fact, he started spending more time at my place, and would both supervise their meals, and get down on the floor to play with them—-and spend time with me, of course! Our 21st anniversary is this Wednesday, and he’s been a great husband and happy daddy to my original two (who have passed on, obviously), and four more (one of whom passed on recently at almost 20 years old), plus a dog the entire time.

My Kid's Grounded So She Had To Help Power Wash The Deck. I Came Back To This. Grounding Extended
Hermien Greeff 2 years ago
I'm sorry, how is power washing a deck considered a punishment? Power washing is so satisfying!
M O'Connell 2 years ago
Writing with a pressure washer always looks like calligraphy due to the sudden application of force that happens when you pull the trigger, and a slightly more subtle serif when you let off.

If my kid was this clever, I’d rescind the grounding, but make him write “I will not…” what every he did wrong, with the power washer.

Daamn, That's Harsh
Aboredpanda 2 years ago
Not harsh; when a parent has always been there, and they've never known anything else, it's completely normal for a child to take the parent for granted. And it's sort of a compliment too: That parent brought up a very safe child.

Day before my daughters 5th birthday went online and bought tickets for the aquarium for the next day. Didnt even think about it and clicked on 4 and under, when we got there she was wearing a 5th birthday shirt and I felt horrible and asked if I could pay the difference, they told me no because technically she was 4 when I purchased the tickets but did give her a birthday girl fish crown.

A few years ago, my daughter (11 at the time) and I were running around the house, dueling with plastic katanas and I was wearing socks. Slipped on the linoleum and the first thing out of her mouth was "your new nickname is Life Alert!" I laughed so damn hard 😹 very proud of her quick wit!

I have a 3 year old that says hilarious things too. I told her one day to get dressed so we could go to the store. She runs upstairs and comes back down with a pair of leggings on that have a huge hole in the crotch. I said no baby you have to change there's a hole in the crotch of those pants. I said how did that happen? she just shrugs her shoulders and goes to change. She comes back down a few minutes later dressed appropriately and says mommy I think I know why my pants ripped now. Its because my vagina is just too strong. Deadpan. I laughed so hard! Yes honey that's got to be why. Lmfao!

My 12 year old has been swearing, and tries to stop himself. He was really mad at something my 14 year old was saying and yelled, "Shut the mother f up!" My 14 year old replies with OKAY and then covers my mouth with his hand. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. On a completely unrelated note, it is very challenging to discipline your children when laughing hysterically.

I remember once telling my mother "I've lost faith in you" because she wouldn't buy me something. I actually thought it would work. Now my mother has been gone for a couple years and I still feel a pit in my stomach when I think of that.

It's about choosing your battles. If you gave your kid a telling off for every naughty thing they did/said, you'd be exhausted, and your kid would feel unloved.
