Dads often get a bad rep when it comes to parental responsibilities, and if this guy is anything to go off, we have no idea why. Not! Kenny Deuss from Belgium has taken parenting humor to a whole new level by photoshopping his baby daughter into various dangerous situations and sending them to the baby's mom whenever she checks in on them. The first time nearly gave her a heart attack, and we're not surprised. From browsing a baby gun website to sitting on cliff edges, to being trapped in a washing machine, Kenny certainly knows how to make a picture raise some eyebrows. Thankfully since then, she has gotten used to this odd parenting style and even looks forward to them. But she sure must have a lot of patience for Kenny and his antics. Check out some of his hilarious photoshop works of art below, and you can visit his Instagram page for more of his masterpieces.

Every couple with children lands on some kind of system to share the labor. Sometimes people switch or days, or months, or they agree to have one person take on the housework while the other focuses on supporting the family financially. There is no perfect recipe for a happy family or marriage, but the important thing is that everyone feels valued and not like they're being taken for granted. There's not a single thing wrong with taking on the role of a stay-at-home mom, but it is wrong to be pushed into that position and then resented by your partner for 'having it easier,' as if managing a household is not a 24/7 occupation.
Like we said, find the balance that works for you, but make sure all parties understand why it's 'balanced.'
Having a big family can definitely be a blessing and a curse. You're never bored, but you also barely have access to any form of privacy, and sometimes have limited time to work on yourself. Depending on how functional the family dynamic is, having many family members can be like having a large support system. Or it's just like having a large responsibility. It's important to teach your children the value of earning certain on their own, but at what cost? It clearly should not be framed as an ultimatum.
Moms are the biggest blessing. They may drive us crazy, and sometimes it's easy to forget that they love us more than anything, despite pushing our buttons. But every mom has her weird way of showing love, whether it's through rules that don't seem to make any sense, or saying the same catchphrases over and over again that you hear them in your sleep. Sometimes, even your friends know the lines that your mom will repeat until she's blue in the face. People are sharing the catchphrases their moms use and you'd be surprised at how many moms say the same things! Scroll through these nuggets of mom wisdom, and we guarantee that you'll find something your mom says in here somewhere. Turns out moms are all the same.
Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs a person can have. Many people amazingly manage to do it all on their own, but obviously the more help the better. Even though we don't live in 1952 anymore, many families still adhere to the nuclear family structure where all of the housework responsibility is loaded the wife. This structure is getting less and less common, but you'd be surprised how many people still find this to be the ideal...
A lot of parents place excessive pressure on their children to bring them, grandchildren. It's nothing new, and if you plan to have kids anyway, it's not such a big deal. But not everyone wants children, and we don't 'owe' our parents grandchildren. If they want to take care of something so badly, invest in some kind of house-pet, or succulent.
If one's parents are understanding, eventually they should be able to respect that their children don't want to have kids. But some parents can just get more and more obsessed with the lack of toddlers in their life and just progressively lose their sh*t.
It is really common to do favors for the people in our lives that we love and expect nothing in return. It's a part of being in a family or having unconditional love for someone. However, in order for something to be a 'favor,' it needs to be optional. It's totally unfair to force someone to volunteer to help you out, and especially uncool to constantly take advantage of their generosity. That's called manipulation people, and we are not about that life.
The thing people forget about babies is that they don't feed on a schedule; when they're hungry, they're hungry, and that's when you gotta whip out your boob (or a bottle), regardless of where you are or what you are doing. Sometimes it might not be the most comfortable, especially if you're breastfeeding, but hey, welcome to motherhood. Unfortunately, there are still people who think it's ok to shame mothers for breastfeeding in public, and those people deserve to be in their own hall of shame, especially other women. Because they're only further sexualizing women's bodies and shaming one of the purest forms of motherly love. A single mother posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole herself in a situation when her ex's mother shamed her for 'exposing herself to the whole neighborhood,' when she answered the door to her, mid-breastfeeding. Of course, Redditors had a lot to say about this toxic woman and defended the nursing mom, who, of course, did nothing wrong. #FreeTheNipple
Tinder is a great way to have anonymous sex if that's what you're looking for. With an infinite amount of strangers readily available at the swipe of a finger, it's easy to find someone for casual, no-strings-attached sex whenever you want. But is anyone as anonymous as they seem? They say that there are only six degrees of separation between everyone, or, in simpler terms, all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. So, in reality, the likelihood of someone you know, knowing the person you are sleeping with, is relatively high.
One guy learned this the hard way when he discovered that the older woman he had met on Tinder and been sleeping with for three months was his coworker's mom. The worst part? She insisted on coming clean to her son. Honesty isn't always the best policy, folks! Yeah, we want to die on his behalf too. He documented the whole story on the popular subreddit, TIFU (Today I F—ked Up). Read it below, and cringe along with us!
Instagram is full of influencers who claim to be fashionistas. However, it's hard to stand out and sell your style in a unique way when there are so many others doing the same thing as you. But one mom has figured out a creative way to encourage hers and her daughter's love for fashion. Painter Alya Chaglar sculpts food into the shape of dresses and holds them up against her young daughter Stefani, making it seem like she is wearing the food clothes. From pizza to broccoli, her fabulous food fashion looks so fun to make. Stefanie certainly looks like she enjoys the poses, and it's clear that a young, budding fashionista is in the works!
Babysitting is no easy feat. As cute as kids are, they get hella rowdy and annoying sometimes. When it's not your own kids, the money ultimately makes it worth it, especially when you're a teen trying to make it in the world. A Reddit woman who is now in her twenties shared a post in which she recalled a babysitting horror story in her teens where she babysat without any nourishment for an entire day, only to be paid in toothpaste tubes by the stingy mom. The mom also took advantage of her services and made her clean the house. Yikes. Read all the details below.
Throwing a party can be very stressful, especially when you're inviting your family. Although there is 'unconditional love' in the air, there will also be unconditional judgement coming from all sides of the clan. Nobody will tell you like it is like a toxic family member, but the only issue is that you probably never asked for their input in the first place. Sometimes it is best to keep certain relatives at arm's length, or maybe just limit your contact with them to Facebook.
Parenting is one of the most demanding jobs out there, and parents deserve a fricking medal for everything they do. Unfortunately, no one hands out parenting prizes. Luckily, Twitter serves as a platform for parents to get the appreciation, empathy, and cheerleading that they need to keep them going for another week of parenting. Each week, we serve you up a selection of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to brighten up your day and make you feel less alone in the parenting struggles. Once you've enjoyed this week's haul, check out last week's funniest parenting tweets which are equally as entertaining.
The internet has the power to make things go viral for all sorts of reasons, and sometimes we come across something on the world wide web that is too good not to share with you. Get ready for this gem: a woman posted a complaint on Target's Facebook page, expressing her displeasure at the store's blatant selling of vibrators, "Front and center for little eyes to see. A vibrator that you can stick in BOTH holes. Because that is appropriate for little ones to see while shopping for vitamins." Read: prude woman feels uncomfortable that a mainstream store is normalizing women's sexual pleasure. Twitter user @kittynouveau posted the complaint on her account, and it instantly went viral, because, well, it's hilarious.
Let's break this down for a minute. Firstly, the vibrators were displayed in the sexual wellness aisle with condoms and lube, and not in the children's toy aisle, as she was making it out to be. If you don't want your kids to see it, don't bring them to that store section. It's that simple. Secondly, she obviously has no idea how a dual vibrating massager works because I don't know which holes she refers to when she says, "A vibrator that you can stick in BOTH holes." I'm going to go ahead and assume that she thinks one wand is for your butthole. Newsflash: one wand is for vaginal insertion, and the other one is for external stimulation. Not butts involved (unless you try really hard). Anyway, Twitter blew up when they saw the post, and the reactions to the complaint are hilarious. Check them out below.
Welcome to this week's funniest parenting tweets, the place we celebrate all the parents who use humor to make it through another seven days of keeping their little ones alive.

And so, we collect the funniest parenting tweets each week to pay tribute to the funny parents who provide us with all the best parenting entertainment on Twitter. When you're done scrolling through this latest collection, check out last week's funniest parenting tweets in case you missed them.
Kids are a delight. Sometimes. The rest of the time, they're little terrors who drive you insane. And when that happens, sarcasm can be a great coping mechanism. Some people say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but these moms of Twitter would probably disagree. Scroll through their sarcastic tweets about parenting trials and tribulations and tell me you didn't chuckle at least once.
