Parenting is not an easy task, those who have done it will know that's a fact. Despite our best intentions, it can sometimes go a little awry and little mistakes can be made with the poor little kiddies on the receiving end.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of these fails, nothing serious but definitely relatable and all of them will give you those slightly guilty kind of giggles. Scroll down below to check them out and don't forget to vote for your favourite!

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.

I was so proud when I went wee for the first time alone. I must have been determined not to ask for help because I got the colander out and did it in that. Then brought the colander to my mother. Oh how the family laughed over the years.

I'd say posting this about your kid is in the top 5 of parent fails.

I'd say the actual parenting fail here is sharing this with the world. He's really going to appreciate that when he's older.

What kid hasn't had a potty accident? Especially when outside and it's so far away.

Luckily he's in a swimsuit and swim shoes. I bet it's because he's wearing a swim diaper which is only meant to catch poop anyway and not pee.
