Note To Self, Don't Let Baby Fall Asleep On You After You Spray Tan If You Do Not Want Said Baby To Have A Half "Tanned" Face The Next Morning.
Hans 7 years ago
Do not use chemicals such as tan spray near babies! Many will even get rashes from detergent perfumes etc. People really require more education on how harmful many every day substances are. Interestingly, while things we care for ("dirt") typically are totally harmless to babies.

Why are these called parenting fails? It's just parenting. Good luck finding a parent whose child never fell on their face, never ate something they're not supposed to, never had a tantrum, etc. All those things are just part of life.
Rikke Hackner 7 years ago
why is the dad in the restaurant bad, is it so wrong for kids to strip down to their nappies in the heat? or am I missing the point.

Just because folks take cute pictures of their kids doesn't automatically mean they don't love and hold their children.
