Despite their efforts, many moms and dads fall shy of being the picture-perfect parents they've painted in their heads. Usually we chalk these mistakes up to mommy brain and move on. But sometimes these failures are so funny that they make Internet headlines. This year, several parenting slipups left us in a fit of laughter and made us feel better about our own errors. From a house full of flour to an art project gone awry, here are some of the biggest and most humorous parenting fails of the year. Which one was your favorite? Source: YouTube user TomoNews US
Kids make messes, but we've never seen one quite like this. One mom discovered her sons dousing every crevice of her home with flour. Luckily she was able to laugh about it but probably because her boys are so darn cute!
One child's horrible habit cost his parents almost $5,000. Earlier this year, a mother in China walked in on her 4-year-old shredding a pile of money. Clearly this woman never heard of a piggy bank.
Who knew a simple shave could cause so much turmoil? One man's decision to get rid of his Winter beard left his little girl in tears.
When it comes to birthday confections, some parents produce works of art while others bake WTF-worthy treats. While we applaud these bakers' efforts, we can't help but laugh at them.
Now this is a fail we can all relate to! A Norwegian mom tried putting her 3-year-old twins to bed, but what should have been a simple routine turned into an Abbott and Costello-like bit.
It looks like someone was bored by his coloring book. Over the Summer, a 4-year-old Chinese boy drew several animals, people, and unidentified objects on his father's passport. Hopefully next time, the dad will keep his identification locked up.
It wouldn't be Halloween without a healthy mix of treats and tricks. This year, as per tradition, Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to tell their children that they ate all of their candy and film it for millions to see. But the parents' harmless prank quickly escalated into a profanity-filled rant from their children.
We've all been bit by the Pinterest bug at some point, resulting in an onslaught of crafting and cooking. Unfortunately, for many of us, our final products rarely look like the items we pinned. But on the bright side, these Pinterest fails make for hilarious photos.
Time to rethink finger painting. One dad caught his two sons clad in face paint and scolded them for their art project. Well, he tried. Though frustrated, the dad couldn't hold in his laughter during the interrogation.
