It's a tough (and stinky… and messy… and noisy) job, but someone's gotta do it! Being a mom or dad is one of the most rewarding things a person can do in their lifetime, but it's also one of the hardest. For at least 18 years, you're placed in charge of a growing human who will test the limits of your patience while also stealing your heart. Sure, there are lots of people who have done it before, but that doesn't make it any less challenging!
Every stage of a child's life comes with its own unique blessings and frustrations, but one of the most confusing points of their lives (at least for parents) is when they're infants and toddlers. When you see what made this cute little girl burst into tears over and over again, you'll see exactly what I mean! If you're struggling through the first parts of parenthood, the good news is you're not alone, and lots of moms and dads can relate to what you're going through. In fact, this mom wrote a parody of a popular song that's so funny, yet so relatable for parents at the same time!
If you still don't think being a mommy or daddy is one of the most difficult jobs out there, take a look at these hilarious photos taken by parents. If I had a nickel for every time my niece has done number 8, I'd be rich!
Make sure you SHARE this post with all your friends so they can laugh about the harder parts of having kids!
1. They play with mud... and eat it, too.
2. They pick the most inconvenient places to lie down.
3. They have no concept of what belongs to them and what belongs to someone else.
4. The idea of putting food in their mouth doesn't always resonate with them.
5. However, they have no problem putting their food in other creatures' mouths.
6. In fact, anything that's NOT food is far more likely to appeal to their tastes.
7. They get themselves stuck in the craziest places.
8. They use anything and everything as a canvas for their art.
9. If there's a mess to be made, they'll be there to make it.
10. Their ability to embarrass you can be almost superhuman at times.
11. They're easily amused, but that doesn't always work to your advantage.
12. And if you can handle more than one, well, you might just be a saint.
If these pictures aren't enough proof that it takes a true hero to be a parent, just look at what happened when this little girl got into a bucket of paint!
