Let’s all just give a big round of applause to all parents who dedicated their 18 years (or rather, their whole lives) to professionally taming a little daredevil, and often not one but two or three, or more. With bloodshot eyes and not much fuel left in their tank, moms, dads and caregivers keep surprising us all with their sheer level of resilience, straight face, and even a smile.

Because raising kids is not for the faint-hearted. So in order to remind us of that, Bored Panda compiled a collection of posts where kids made their parents' day really miserable.

So that your coffee stain, lost keys and really important email sent out to the wrong address won’t feel so bad!

It Wasn’t Even Double Stuffed

It Wasn’t Even Double Stuffed

littlebluekid Report

To find out about navigating parenting in these crazily uncertain times, Bored Panda reached out to Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce,” which is a professional divorce document preparation service with 20 years of market history.

“The pandemic and isolation have certainly shocked every family with a child. Now our houses or apartments aren’t just places where we live. Currently, this space also serves as an office, a school, a place for activities, etc.,” Natalie told us.

According to her, the situation is twofold. “On the one hand, parents are constantly with their children and can devote more time to them. But on the other hand, not everyone can withstand such a stress test as limited space doesn’t provide an opportunity to direct one’s energy and emotions outward.”

There’s a can of formula sitting next to the older child and a full bottle in the crib. Betting the kid was imitating mommy trying to feed the sibling

So very true! My boys got out of bed last night, didn't know until I heard a big crash, which it turned out was a 3L brand new bottle of milk that they had apparently got out of the fridge and decided would be better used as a medicine ball! Result: one split bottle, milk EVERYWHERE in the kitchen. It was like a crime scene for cows!

This is why I don't buy talcum anymore. I had a brand new HUGE bottle of it. My kid who was 3 snuck down in the middle of the night and completely destroyed the kitchen with it. It took weeks to get it completely off. I still find spots now and again.

I noticed they where overdue in waking up from a nap and it was SILENT so I went to check on them. I opened the door to a world of WHITE! It was EVERYWHERE! 😂 Pretty sure my heart stopped for a second... but on the plus side, my bedroom smelled heavenly for months after that!! 🤣🤣🤣

Well I had a friend who had her 4 year and 2 year old granddaughter over. She asked the older one to watch the younger one while she fixed lunch. Well my friend said it got just too quiet. So the 4 year is playing and while she looks for her the 2 year old. Well she found her climbing on her bathroom counter top getting into all her heart medications. Folks lock up your medications. Whqt you think is out of reach is not.. Even OTC meds can be dangerous if they take to much of it. Also if you own a gun and you child finds it qnd accidently fires at someone, you the parent may be looking at jail time. If you own a gun have a trigger lock or have it in a gun safe..Two parent were convicted in 2019 when there 6 and 10 year old were playing in the bedroom and they found a loaded shot gun and started to play with it. The 6 year old killed her sister. If you have children owning a gun is not worth it.

I always told my kids that when they were at someone else's house if they acted up I would know because most mom's have a sixth sense about their kids. If my two oldest were together and you didn't hear anything you knew something was going down because they fight like rabid jackals.

I wanted to mention this as well because I don’t think the danger is widely known. I know of an actual fatality that occurred when a toddler dumped formula powder in a young infant’s face. The baby aspirated and choked/smothered to death in this case,but as you said,pneumonia is also a possible outcome. I feel like most people know about this risk with baby powder,but formula is dangerous as well.

What’s more, the need to combine multiple roles is even more obvious.There are many challenges parents can face during times of pandemic and postpandemic. “First, they have to act as teachers because of homeschooling. However, not all parents have the necessary skills to explain the subject matter to their children easily. Moreover, with this additional role, it becomes more challenging to maintain a balance,” Natalie explained.

“Second, parents can face behavioral problems in their children. Due to a lack of interaction with other kids, the inability to play with someone other than their parents, and a limited list of activities, children can become irritable, aggressive, or hyperactive (it’s purely individual).” Natalie said that such situations are challenging for both the children and the parents.

“Third, it can be difficult for working parents to take care of their children’s daily routines. Kindergartens, schools, and hobby groups are extremely important. They help structure children's lives, fill them with meaning every day, and reduce conflicts in the family. In the new realities, parents have to think about how to keep their children busy every minute.”

Moreover, Natalie explained that during quarantine, people become closer to each other. As a result, personal boundaries are blurred, leading to two possible scenarios. “In scenario one, parents and children start working against each other, causing conflicts. In scenario two, they manage to establish an even deeper connection with each other. The main thing with the second scenario is to not leave the child alone with their fears.”

For any parent who feels overwhelmed with trying to juggle out these duties, Natalie’s advice is to change perspective. “Young parents may feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed out because they take on too much and want to be ideal parents. But remember, the child doesn’t need a perfect mom or dad. They need emotionally healthy parents because the parent’s psychological state directly affects the kids.”

ADVERTISEMENT

She continued: “Therefore, every time you feel strained to your limits, just stop, exhale, and deal with the problem you can solve at the moment. It will make you feel capable of doing something. Then, try to break bigger problems into smaller ones. You’ll see that there are practically no unsolvable situations.”

At the same time, it seems like there are too many parenting styles and methods out there. Natalie confirmed that the topic is often very controversial, with many parents having strong opinions about raising their children. “But at the same time, the goal is always the same—to raise a happy, healthy, and successful child. Each of the existing parenting styles and methods focuses on it.”

According to the life coach, it is crucial to find the one that works for your child. “For example, the well-known Montessori method may not suit an active child. Waldorf education may not work for children with strong leadership qualities and a great need for physical activity. Technique by Cecil Lupan requires the baby’s mother to spend almost all of her time exercising with her child.”

Natalie added that there is no single recipe to understand what is suitable for your child. Having said that, she also listed some steps you may want to think about. “First, you should analyze your child’s personality and the required level of physical activity, creativity, and socialization. Second, think about the 4 main parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, uninvolved) and try to predict your child’s reaction to each of them. Perhaps in your case, you can’t choose one style. Then, think about how you can mix them or even work out your own.”

Natalie concluded that as a parent, you can also go to a professional psychologist who will talk with you and your child, determine strong sides and interests, and suggest possible options.

Kid Sleeps With His Pet Goldfish

"I cannot make this stuff up!

We put Everett to bed and we’re in the living room watching a movie and heard a noise in Everett’s room so we called him out there and he said it was his drawer that made the noise. So I get up like 10-15 mins later to go pee and look in his room and see his little chair up to his dresser and the lid off his fish tank on the ground and the light in the water and I’m like Corey the lid is off his tank and I can’t find the fish (Everett is asleep at this point) Corey walks in there and this is what we find"
