Shopping Is Hard
Taryn Wallace 5 years ago
Ok I have a serious question and I don't want to sound snotty. Why do parents let their children do this? If I hung onto a cart while my mom was trying to shop she would have picked my butt up hauled me either to the car or the nearest bathroom and swatted my butt... also...I never would have done this because my parents would have never allowed it. I'm confused as to how this happens?

And that's when you call them over and show them what happened and explain how to load the dishwasher properly. Like you should have done before giving the duty.

Most photos here show hilarious parenting fails. If I would have pulled a fraction of the c**p kids in these photos pulled, my mother would f*****g murder me.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I hate kids and I don't want to be around the little walking petri dishes.

I'm with you, Kiki. I dislike kids, and stay away from them. It's no different than folks who dislike cats or dogs.
