50 Hilarious Times Parents Treated Their Adult Kids As If They Were Children
Anyone with kids will know, it can be hard to accept that they are growing up and don't need you anymore. Some parents never really do accept it, and continue to leave cute reminders of their love and desire to nurture well into adulthood!
While the 'kids' on the receiving end of this coddling might be mortified by their parents behavior, we here at Bored Panda think it's hilarious and adorable, and so we have compiled a lovely list of funny examples. Scroll down to check it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

She might not be sad just because she wears black clothes. She's probably just making that face because her mom made her hold the balloon and she feels silly.

I agree as well. These are so freakin' cute actually, we all need more posts like this. It's great to see even though my father is already gone and sometimes I'm a bit envy but I have a best mom in the world and we would fit here so well, we often watch cartoons together, few days ago we were catching Pokémons together as well and I recently turned 29 :D

Those paraents have a good sense of humour and are very loving and caring. No matter what you get from your parent, you should appreciate it, because there will come a time, when you wish you could receive one more stupid, unnecessaty, childish gift from them. That's why I hope that all who shared their pics did it enjoying the things instead of making fun of their parents.
Caroline Espenschied 6 years ago
Once your parents are gone, you'll be nobody's kid any more, so you should just enjoy it while you have it.
Rhân 6 years ago
Why so serious? Most of the pictures show loving parents that miss their childs or just want to make them happy. I‘m sad how many people lost their „inner child“. Looking in the comments shows me how happy I am that I‘m not that adult even when my age says that I‘m not a child anymore.
Haider Ali Babar 6 years ago
I can't explain how lucky each and everyone of the people in these pictures are. Having lost my mother at 19, I can't even begin to explain the void that has been created in my heart. So to all those people who have your parents alive and healthy, treat them well, let them know you love them and even looking at them with respect and smiling at them with kindness can get your message of kindness across (specially with the mums :) ) Extremely adorable post <3

I'm glad that many of these posts were from people who not only saw the humor, but appreciated it! I'm almost 50 and I still love when my mom surprises me with legos ("they were on sale"), a fun toy for my desk at work, or visits me cross the country and stocks my fridge! No matter the age, I think many of us will always be our mom's "babies"! I know that I feel the same towards my kids! <3
