Epic Parenting Fails: Moments When Parents Experienced A Really, Really Bad Day Thanks To Their Kids

Leona Martinez

Parenting is a pretty sacred job. Nothing is more wonderful than the joy of having a child and watching him or her grow up day by day. However, only parents know that having kids is nothing more than riding a roller coaster with many ups and downs. Because kids are always naughty, and eager to explore the world, they can't help themselves do "normal things." And parents find it hard to pay attention to them all the time.

Take these moms and dads for example. They experienced a really, really bad day thanks to their kids. To prove to others that parenting is not a perfect picture like people usually see, they captured and then shared the extremely weird things their kids said or did on social media. So just for the LOLs, I have collected the most hilarious of these posts in this compilation. Sit back, relax, and let's take a tour through this gallery of epic parenting fails, whether you have a kid of your own or not.
