Parenting is easy… said no parent ever. Most parents will tell you that parenting is the hardest job there is. And it’s probably harder this day in age with the internet, social media, and smartphones.
But there is one thing parents can do to combat the hardship of the difficult job. And that one thing is having a sense of humor. When the situation is out of your hands, all you can really do is laugh.
And the parents you’re about to see are winning hard in this department. Sometimes to the dismay of their children. Still, they’re getting the job of parenting done regardless.
Here Are 70+ Parents Who Are Winning At Parenting By Getting The Last Laugh:
Nothing says happy birthday like get the hell out. Before this kid gets too comfortable celebrating his birthday, he needs to know. He needs to know that it’s time to get out… Keith.
2) Parents Who Want To Let The World Know
Now everyone in the neighborhood knows. Their son is a dork. This kid might never leave home again unless it’s for good.
Sometimes parents can be mean for no apparent reason. This mom just wanted to harass her son by spoofing his Facebook profile picture. Dad was happy to oblige.
4) Who Said Parents Can’t Have Fun?
Not these parents. They decided to try and embarass their kids during a trip to the museum. Pretty sure their kids probably related to their sense of humor which is that of a 12-year-old boy.
5) Who Wears Short Shorts?
Dad wears short shorts. His daughter wanted to wear a pair and her mom didn’t approve. So, he decided to give her a taste of her own medicine.
No, that’s not a filter. It’s an old-school selfie. These parents obviously don’t get the meaning of a selfie. They took a Polaroid of themselves and sent it via snail mail.
This is the last place you’d ever want to see dad. It’s one of the most frightening things you’d ever see in your life. It would probably scar you forever.
These parents took their daughter’s phone away for a week. But that wasn’t the punishment. Posting about 10 of these photos to her Facebook page was.
9) The Greatest Birthday Cake of All Time
The cake some parents got their kid for his 21st birthday. They know he’ll inevitably end up like this sooner or later. If only vomit actually came out like sprinkles.
Why should their son have all the fun? He got to go to Disney World and have lots of fun. His parents decided they wanted to have a little fun of their own.
This dad doesn’t get the whole selfie game. He thinks it’s ridiculous. And he created this retaliation selfie to prove it.
This kid will never ever forget anything at home EVER again. This is what happened when he asked his dad to bring the stuff he forgot to school. He will probably never live this down, poor kid.
Some parents are a nightmare. And this dad literally is. This probably scared the hell out of that poor kid.
14) When Your Dad Is Michael Scott
But this kid’s dad isn’t. So while this is hilarious, it’s also creepy. He might need some therapy for this one.
Dangling delicious cake in front of people and having it be inedible is just mean. It looked so appetizing on the outside. Eating at his friend’s house is likely no longer on the table.
This girl’s dad made her a V.P.B. Also known as a Virginity Protection Blanket. Terrifying… absolutely terrifying.
17) So You Want Fancy Headphones?
This kid wanted some Beats By Dr. Dre headphones. They’re cost about $100. This is what he got instead.
18) A Very Jackson Five Christmas
You can’t do Christmas without some good holiday tunes from The Jackson Five. But this dad didn’t quite have that in mind. He meant the other Jackson Five.
19) When Dad Learns How To Take A Selfie
Selfies are supposed to make you look cute. This dad is doing it all wrong. This may be the scariest selfie of all time.
This dad likes to terrorize his son. I wonder how long he he hid in the shower for. Look at the sheer terror on his face.

It’s me… Mommyio! This silly mom made this photo her profile picture. Her daughter isn’t too pleased!
Parenting can be a terrifying job. Especially when your teen is learning to drive. This poor dad looks scared to death.
“Oh, you actually cleaned? What do you want an award for it?” This kid did, and he got one.
This dog looks like he had a rough day. For one, he’s wearing pants. And two, he still has his gloves on.
He wanted $5 million for his birthday. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, yes… even in jest.
26) When You’ve Seen It All
And you no longer panic. You just laugh. This is pro parenting at its finest.
27) “Mum, Can I Have A Cup Of Tea?”
Could this mom be anymore literal? This is sarcastic for, “Get it your damn self.” He probably will next time.
28) “You’re Being So Nice To Me… What Do You Want?”
This dad knows what’s up. No one gets such a sweet “hello” without wanting something in return. And this dad isn’t having it.
29) When “Yes” Means “No”
This kid asked to borrow some money for gas. His dad happily obliged. Or did he…
30) When You Become A Halloween Costume

It’s bad enough that this kid got punished and had her phone taken away. But this dad wasn’t done yet. He decided to torment his daughter as an added punishment.
33) Welcome To Technology Mom
This is what happens when moms join Facebook. This was mom’s first post. And it’s out of this world.
This girl tried to set her own curfew at 4 a.m. Dad thought otherwise. He thinks 1 a.m. is much more reasonable.
This post was titled “How to scare your kids this holiday season.” I thought it was because how creepy and discolored the face on this snowman is. Then I saw how tall AND creepy this one is.

This mom clearly wanted to give her children a heart attack. She broke a knife while cooking. This is the photo she sent her children.
This little girl had way to much juice. Now she’s incapable of driving. Good thing her daddy is a Little Person so he could drive her Barbie Jeep for her.
39) When Your Mom’s Pimp Hand Is Heavier Than Yours
This mom is in ultra cougar mode. She is swarmed by handsome men. Eat your heart out daughter!
40) Drink Your Worries Away
“Sorry about my kid. Here’s wine!” I’m sure the teachers appreciated this since it speaks to them.
41) The Greatest Mom Of All Time
Good parents embrace their children for all that they are. They will even nurture their kid’s quirkiness, like this mom. She threw her little boy a birthday based on this favorite commercial of a personal injury lawyer.

This is what happens when you leave home for three months. Your parents do whatever is possible within their power to embarrass you. The minute you get off the plane.

45) When Your Parents Profit Off Of You
This kid was attacked by by a monkey at his dad’s travel and tour company in Costa Rica. His father then made a postcard out of it years laters and sold it. The worst part is that he didn’t even tell his kid, his kid found it on the rack.
46) Be Careful What You Wish For
You just might get it. This kid asked his dad for a remote control car and he got it. Look at the disappointment on this poor kid’s face.
This mom always surprises her son with something special on his birthday. And this year she didn’t disappoint. “Surprise! You suck Dave!”
This father decided it would be funny to put a mask on his dog. The dog didn’t seem to mind. His son, however, did.
You got to love a good weird dad. This dad didn’t have any intention of sending his kid cash. He wanted to know if he could get away with mailing an axe.
This guy put vanilla pudding inside a mayo jar. He then proceeded to eat out of it while his kids opened their Easter baskets. I’m sure it will be an Easter that they will never forget.
Dad went to the ultimate level when it comes to getting his kids to clean their rooms and bathroom. Using the movie ‘Saw’ as inspiration, hiding the WiFi password from his kids until they tidy up is simply genius.
52) We’re sure Rebecca was thrilled
Rebecca just flew on a plane for the very first time. Her dad was there to greet her at the airport in full Darth Vader attire. We’re sure, as a teenager, she wasn’t embarrassed at all.
53) You can’t make this up
Her kid drew this picture and this mom had a sense of humor when she posted it to Snapchat. You can’t deny that that’s exactly what it looks like.
“1) Get your child to squash up against a window 2) Take photo 3) Set as phone background 4) Child is ‘stuck in’ phone,” said this hilarious
Reddit user.
“Actual photo of me waiting for my daughter to finish her homework,” said this hilarious parent when they shared this photo. The best part is the wine bottle and wine glass.
“My dad and I (jokingly) told my mom we would leave the apple store only after she had taken a “selfie” on every single device…next thing I know her face is all over the store.”
It seems like this baby is starting to overstay its welcome and this mama has just about had it. So, they gave the little one an eviction notice. Hopefully they obliged quickly!
A daycare had a parent fill out a form “on behalf of” their 11-month-old daughter. The parent decided to answer ridiculous questions with ridiculous answers and we love it.
Give these parents an award. “People kept commenting on how much hair our baby son has, so naturally this was the next step,” they said on Reddit.
This mom was running late and it resulted in her daughter being late for school. The school requires a signature as to why they are tardy and this parent fully owned up to the lack of time management.
61) If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em
These parents couldn’t get their little boy to stop crying while sitting on Santa’s lap. So, they decided to make a family memory out of it and sit on Santa’s lap to cry too.
62) Wait…what is happening here?
“My family is pretty odd. Tonight, my mom hired an Elvis impersonator and didn’t tell anyone about it,” said this Reddit user. There are so many questions that we need answers to here.
This person got into an argument with their dad. Soon, their dad walked into their room and simply taped this to their door and walked away. Well-played.
What kid wouldn’t want to wake up to the smell of freshly-baked cinnamon rolls? This parent decided to buy some cinnamon roll-scented air freshener to play a fun prank on their kids. Well, fun for them anyway.
This hilarious dad says that he has made it a point in life to show up places to embarrass his daughter. This time, it appears he’s showed up at an event with cowboy boot sandals and a straw hat with no top. I think it’s working.
Want to get your kids to eat more fruit? Disguise it as candy! This genius parent disguised grapes inside the wrappers of candy and we don’t know if it worked or not but we have to applaud them for their creativity.
This kid lives in his parents basement and when he told his dad that he needed more “natural light” down there, this is what he came home to. We do love this dad’s sense of humor.
68) Parents can’t be trusted
His daughter asked him for a surprise snack and her dad said yes. But what she should have known was that dads can’t be trusted. Sometimes they’re the fun ones, sometimes they’re the law-layer.
69) Does he even know who Slash is, though?
These parents ran into the house and told their son that the tires of his car had been slashed. He ran out in a panic and then realized it was just parents thinking that they’re funny. We want to know if he knows who Slash is, though.
This mom was annoyed that her daughter was sobbing in her room watching Buffy instead of hanging out with her. So, she wrote this note and slid it under her door.
“So I send my sister a snapchat of a party I had when my parents where gone. She sent me this back. (It’s my dad),” said this Reddit user.
This parent captured a funny photo of their son and it was too good not to Photoshop into hilarious situations. All parents need to take a course in Photoshop we think.
This dad has become infamous for ripping farts during family photos. Here’s a gem of a photo that was taken and it’s absolutely priceless. Everyone’s expression is just too funny.
74) That’s love right there
Mom didn’t want to go through the hassle of writing all of her kids names on presents at Christmas, so she decided to use numbers instead. This is for child 2 of 3.
Well, thanks, Mom! In case we find your lifeless body in your room, we’ll know what happened. Would this be something we’d find relief in? We don’t know but mom is super adorable for writing this.
