25+ Parents Hilariously Shared the Moments They Failed as Parents

Parenting isn't always a walk in the park and even the most well-intentioned and most on-top-of-it parents can slip up from time to time and have a regret or two. Luckily, you can laugh at some of these and move on. These parents all shared the funniest parenting fails that they committed over the years.

It Was a Joke!

There are some things you say to your kids to make them laugh or to joke around with them. Don't forget how impressionable they are, though!

Unlike talking to most adults, you have to be careful when you tell a child something they might believe. This mom thought it'd be funny to tell a joke to her child about her face mask but it didn't take long to realize why that was a bad idea.

Long-Lasting Memories

The thing about kids is that they have memories like a steel trap. So, if you do make a misstep, it can seem like they never forget it.

That's one parenting tip that this parent learned the hard way. While they were trying to teach their kids how to cook, they managed to make a pretty painful mistake. Obviously, it made a bit of an impression on their son too.

Ready for Dinner?

Family dinners around the holidays are already a stressful time when you're probably juggling a lot, and two kids can definitely add to that.

As if that wasn't enough, this mom's kids were rather young at the time as well. So, sleep deprivation and a bit of brain fog are expected. If you make a little mistake like this, it's not a big deal but you might still hear about it for the next 20 Christmases or so.

Playground Safety

When you're heading to the playground, that's a pretty exciting day for a kid! Yet, you'll want to make sure everything's safe.

That's true for you as much as it is for your kids. A little anxiety at a new toy happens from time to time. However, this parent really regrets not considering that these toys aren't exactly made for adults before they gave this doomed demonstration. We probably wouldn't try it either after this.
