19 Hysterical Photos Proving That Parents Must Have Nerves of Steel

Of course, children make us happy. But sometimes they do things we either hate or laugh at. For example, when they trash an entire room with Legos or choose soap as their present.

We found stories about some things that children do that can’t be explained with logic.

1. This kid is an evil genius.

2. This little girl climbed into the machine and passed out free toys.

3. “It was my birthday yesterday and my daughter gave me this.”

4. “Met my nephew today for the first time. I’m the only redhead he’s ever met other than his mommy.”

5. He was just riding for a second.

6. Little long jumper

7. Well, she’s not wrong…

8. This little kid is seeing bright Christmas decorations for the first time.

9. “I took him shopping on his birthday. I promised we would buy anything he wanted. He chose soap.”

10. “My little brother learned how to use the water dispenser for our fridge and…”

11. “The day I have been dreading my entire adult life has arrived.”

12. This guy in the back is really worried about his friend. Just look at him.

13. “Our speakers weren’t sounding right. Husband checked the subwoofer…”

14. “So my son had a root canal today.”

15. He is so confident!

16. Above average student

17. Maybe she has always wanted to be a unicorn.

18. “She’s studying… But books don’t shine.”

19. “I’ll get the small doppelgänger next time.”

Bonus: All kids are the same no matter the species…

My dear toddler loves dropping toys and food into my morning coffee. I can power through a toy, but food is another story. When I dump it out I become an asshole parent. But let's be honest… he's an ssshole kid! And I love him to pieces. PS… that's my new backsplash that will be installed this week. I love it! #assholeparent #assholekid #toddlerinchief #coffee #newathomemom #stayathomemom #SAHM

This toddler dropped his toy truck in mom’s coffee.

His booger-filled, germ-ridden toy truck.

This kid took a bite out of ever pear to see which one he wanted to eat.

There’s only one word for this move, and we can’t say it here.

When you send the boys to one room to pick up while you vacuum another. And all of sudden there's mad dashing to the bathroom and quiet. And when you ask what's going, they say they are washing their hands. Only to have this scene walk out a few minutes later….. THAT IS ALREADY TWICED SCRUBBED SHARPIE!!!!! Guess who's going to school with face tattoos tomorrow!? #XanderCash and #AtticusMarley . . . #SendWine #ThisIsWhyMamaDrinks @beefnbourbon bring vodka @kidsaretheworst #KidsAreTheWorst

Well, these kids are going to school with Sharpie on their face.

Those are the faces of regret.

The next one is truly hilarious…

My date at Texas Roadhouse #mydaughtersanasshole

A post shared by Christy Gorby (@cgorby) on Jan 6, 2018 at 5:09pm PST

This is what her daughter did when she didn’t have a date for dinner.

She could have at least given him more than dots for eyes.

Eventually they’ll use the toilet. Definitely before they graduate from high school. #NakedAndAfraid ?: @freeanddandi #kidsaretheworst

At least he’s in the right room, right?

Eventually, he’ll make it over to the toilet.

Hilarious.

But also hard to explain to Child Protective Services.

Why these kids would put a dirty sock in the container of mixed nuts, I don’t know. Kids are nuts.

Well they did say having kids was literally flushing money down the toilet… #parentingfail #fml #mykidisanasshole

Kids are a huge expense, but sometimes they take the metaphor literally and throw actual money into an actual toilet.

Kids are so dumb.

And I say that with love. But come one.

Look, he’s just being honest.

He’s not going to have a good day just because his mom told him to.

The next one is just precious…

It’s just too early in her life for a face tattoo.

Hopefully she learned her lesson.

Don’t tell me you wouldn’t have also jumped out of your skin if you saw this giant doll peeking out of your kid’s room. That’s a heart attack waiting to happen.

This kid screamed and cried and insisted he was hungry and not too tired, and then he proceeded to fall asleep in his lunch. Of course.
