Thereโs probably no tougher job in the world than being a parent. Like everything else in life, parenting also has its good and bad sides. The ups and downs of parenthood make it an exciting and often exhausting journey with an uncertain end.
But what happens when kids create amusing and disastrous situations their parents donโt quite know how to handle? It may be something as innocent as your little girl wanting you to wear hair-bows with her or a boy who decides to repaint the wall while youโre not looking.
This is what happens when kids get the better of their parents and take their imagination a bit too far.
Here are 75 hilarious photos that give a glimpse at parenthood.
1. Who doesnโt like pink?
Thereโs probably nothing he wouldnโt do for his little girl, even if it means eating together at her play table. But he looks really cool about it, though a bit uncomfortable with his legs folded like that.



2. Daddyโs new hairdresser
Every dadโs dream is to have his little girl do his hair. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in this dadโs case and they look lovely together.


3. Sleep tight
If youโre a parent you know how hard it can be to catch some sleep with a baby around. When you have a chance get some well-deserved rest you use it as soon as possible โ even at the price of having the baby sleep on your face.


4. Why did you do this to me?
A marker pen can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a naughty kid and this poor dog can testify to it. Who knows how long it will take to clear out the mess he made.


5. When your daughter gets a bit too creativeโฆ
He looks too busy playing a game he doesnโt mind whatโs going on with his fingernails and sheโs taking full advantage of it. The question is, will he eventually come to regret it.


6. Master of improvisation
We can only applaud this dadโs ingenuity. When his little girl asked for a swing he decided to become one. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your kid happy.


7. The sacrifices we make for art
In the lack of a coloring book this girl channeled her creativity in an unusual yet inspiring way. Sheโs an artist in the making, thatโs sure.


8. โ10th anniversary today, thought weโd capture the romanceโ
The title describes everything we see here perfectly. Kids are a true blessing but sometimes they can be a curse in disguise.


9. Look how tall I am!
Kids just love having fun at your expense but thatโs a part of being a parent. It all evens out when you see a smile on their face.


10. Daddy needed his hair done anyway
Little girls seem to have a special interest in playing with their dads hair. If he lets her practice regularly, one day she may become a renowned hairdresser. On the other hand, he might end up with some questionable hairstyles until she perfects her skill.


11. A future painter
We love he stands by to look at his handiwork. Let it be a lesson to all parents not to leave their kid alone with Sudo Creme and a TV.


12. A would-be bat
Imagine youโve just entered the kitchen to discover your kid hanging upside down from the drawer. You could only hope there arenโt any sharp objects inside.


13. A bit of extra weight never hurt anybody
When kids become restless on a plane thereโs little choice but to offer yourself to serve as a chair and let them have some fun. This dad looks like he doesnโt mind too much.


14. Superdad
Thereโs a good reason this dad has โsuperdadโ printed on his t-shirt. One day when his little girl becomes a make-up artist she will be grateful for his support.


15. Mommyโs going to need a new sweater
Accidents happen. But this momโs got a surprise waiting for her when they return home.


16. Someoneโs just failed the potty training
Kids fear the toilet for a good reason. Itโs deep and creepy and may swallow you whole in a second. She will be going back to basics after this unfortunate accident.


17. White Christmas
Hereโs a reason why itโs never a good idea to leave your kid with baby powder around, unless you intend to reupholster your furniture. He looks quite exhausted or maybe he realized what he did.


18. Come, letโs play on dad
Whatโs better than a free massage when youโre already having rest from being a dad? Hopefully they wonโt get carried away while racing on their dadโs back.


19. I thought it was toilet paper!
Potty training is a long process and the outcome can often be uncertain. These magazines were a necessary sacrifice and a part of the learning process all kids must go through.


20. My sister is a panda now
Some kids manifest their artistic talents very early. And if thereโs no other convenient target to practice on, you can always use your sibling.


21. Sibling affection
Do you ever wonder what goes on between your kids when youโre not around? Well, this image should be a good indicator.


22. She enjoyed the sauceโฆ maybe a bit too much
This kidโs parents have no trouble in getting their baby to eat. Quite the opposite, sheโs thoroughly enjoying her food. Washing those clothes will require some extra effort.


23. Invisible man
Camouflage is an essential skill for ensuring survival in the natural world. In this case it serves a very different purpose โ to ruin momโs blouse.


24. Naughty kids
Nobody likes to return home to a scene of utter destruction that only pillow fights are capable of producing. In this case, the damage has already been done.


25. The aquarium is not made for fishing, son
How many times you told your kid โDonโt put that in your mouthโ but they just wonโt listen. And if you thought youโve seen the worst of it this picture will convince you otherwise.


26. Remember to hold your breath
Daddy annoyed me today, so I decided to push his head underwater to teach him a lesson. We can only hope there wasnโt any pee in that water because that would be a cruel and unusual punishment.


27. Free wake-up call service
Donโt worry, if your alarm clock fails thereโs a more effective alternative available. It would be most unfortunate if this happened on Sunday.


28. Parenting is hard
Yes it may be gross but itโs all a part of parenthood. His face tells you everything you need to know, though.


29. Bathroom stories
There are so many things that can go wrong if you let your toddler use bath paint. The thought that your kid could become an artist one day should be a compensation for all the cleaning youโll have to do afterwards.


30. Party time
The car is not exactly the right place to throw a party but try explaining that to your kid. Nobody can tell Spider-man what he can do.


31. Partners in crime
We probably will never know did he put her up to it or vice versa. One thing is certain: they were having lots of fun.


32. When roles are reversed
Weโd say itโs a welcome change for her and a break from parenting and a completely new experience for him. Itโs kind of a win-win situation, donโt you agree?


33. A sharpie can only spell trouble
If he werenโt so cute, it would look like a scene from a horror movie. Be sure to keep sharpies out of your kids reach if you want to avoid situations like these.


34. His first kitchen failure
Toddlers in the kitchen usually bring nothing but trouble for their parents and itโs true in this case as well. It probably wonโt be the last time he made such a mess.


35. Caught red handed
This kid tried to escape through the vent but as you can see, it didnโt go well for him. He looks very badass so everyone better watch out, thereโs a new kid on the block.


36. Weโre in this together
Youโd be surprised with what two mischievous toddlers like these two can do with a lipstick. They look theyโve been dipped into strawberry juice. We guess their parents learnt not to keep lipstick out of their reach after this escapade.


37. Thatโs a bad boy
Of all the things he couldโve laid his fingers on, he had to choose that one. In his defense, heโs both funny and extremely cute so weโre sure his mom will forgive him quickly.


38. Donโt fall asleep with your shoes on
This is what weโd call a rude awakening. The boys knew full-well what they were doing and they werenโt afraid to show it.


39. Someone got carried away with hot wax
Babies can paint with just about anything, including hair remover wax. He looks quite pleased with his artistic efforts but thatโs probably because he doesnโt know how long it will take to clean it off.


40. Iโve got a sweet tooth
Who said baking wasnโt easy? The secret to making a delicious dish is to be creative and love what youโre doing. And she does look like sheโs enjoying herself very much.


41. All I wanted was some ice creamโฆ
Ice cream can be such a huge temptation for kids they simply canโt resist it. The sad thing is the kid from the image doesnโt look like heโll be having ice cream anytime soon.


42. โI knew you were troubleโ
Some kids canโt help but engage in destructive behavior, be it at home or in public. Heโll have a lot of explaining to do once heโs back home.


43. Who doesnโt like nacho chips?
The problem with nacho chips is that itโs so addictive you cannot stop eating it, even if itโs spilled in your lap and not in the bag where it belongs. Why should he care, though, when someone else will clean up after him?


44. โThe Little Ones Sneak Into The Pantry And Find A Container Of Frostingโ
No part of the house should be considered safe when you have curious kids around. As in this case, the consequences of their curiosity can be pretty dire.


45. He found a new toy
No one knows how exactly Aaron got his hands on butt paste but you can see the results for yourself. Kids have a knack for finding the most unusual toys to play with.


46. Being a dad can be exhausting
Parenthood is all about being there for your kids when they need you. The boys refused to take another step, intimidated by aligators nearby so dad had to step in and save the day.


47. Leave something for me, the cat said
Babies brains are like sponges and constantly absorbing new information โ faster than they can process it. Only that can explain how something like this could happen.


48. Give me back my toilet paper!
Compared to what happened on many of the previous images, this one doesnโt look bad at all. At least everythingโs perfectly clean. What more can a parent ask for?


49. โTaking A Nap On A Plane Aisleโ
A plane aisle is probably not the best place to curl up on but nobody can deny heโs terribly cute. Thatโs one way to deal with the fear if he is scared of flying.


50. I can fit in anywhere
You got to admit thatโs a good way to hide if you hate the bath. Or he and his granddad were just playing hide and seek.


51. When you find yourself in a sticky situation
We canโt be sure of what it really is but it sure looks a lot like heโs smeared in peanut butter. One day, heโll become famous for invention a brand new sporting discipline: wrestling in peanut butter.


52. โWhat? What Did I Do?โ
This innocent little angel doesnโt realize what heโs done. One look at that face and everything will be forgiven in a matter of seconds.


53. Cameleon
How long did it take you to spot the perpetrator of this paint attack? It took us some time to find her. When her parents do, sheโll be in hot water.


54. Time to get creative and give the room more color
Theyโre having so much fun redecorating the living room but their parents probably wonโt approve of their new design. But it was still worth a try, wasnโt it?


55. Master camouflage
Of all the paint disasters weโve seen so far, this is one of the cutest. At least the walls were spared the damage.


56. Natureโs call
No parent would want to walk in on their kid to see him eating with the cat. We wonder whether these kidโs folks managed to explain him that cat food is a no no, and so is the bowl.


57. One doll lessโฆ
What does it mean when your kid tries to flush down their favorite dolls down the toilet? Itโs not growing up for sure.


58. Paint attack
All those days and weeks you spent on decorating the living room could be rendered useless in one fell swoop if your kids decide to get creative with the paint bucket. Like these two did.


59. Iโm so tired
Causing trouble takes a lot of energy which probably explains why this kid looks so tired. That wonโt save him from getting in trouble, though.


60. Itโs not a sharpie this time
Itโs quite natural for kids to get carried away a little while bathing. When thereโs no coloring books on hand daddyโs face will do just fine.


61. Look at me mommy Iโm a painter!
As a parent, you can only enjoy the day your kid discoveres a new talent. Unless, of course, something like this happens. The good thing is that sheโs wearing an apron.


62. A tight situation
Little Aleena found herself in a pretty dire situation with her diaper butt stuck. Unlike the majority of the kids in this list, she didnโt cause any trouble which is quite a feat.


63. An intruder in the bedroom
If this dog could talk weโre pretty sure heโd say โItโs not fair, thatโs my bedroom youโre sleeping inโ. But she got there first.


64. Spider-manโs heir
Everyone wants to be a super hero but trying to be Spider-man inside the walls of your home carries a certain risk. Try explaining that your kid who thinks he can do better than Tobey Maguire.


65. The Walking Dead
This picture is both slightly disturbing and cute at the same time. One day he may find himself in the cast of The Walking Dead if the producers see this one.


66. Guilty as sin
We just love those two big naughty eyes which donโt show any trace remorse whatsoever. Youโll understand if youโre a chocolate fan yourself.


67. Once a child, always a child
The border between childhood and adulthood may not always be so clear and this is the perfect proof of it. You shouldnโt be afraid to channel your inner child but donโt go too far like this guy.


68. Piece of cake
Donโt try taking candy from this baby. Thereโs going to be nothing left of that cake soon and when everyoneโs finds out what sheโs done, it will be too late.


69. Toilet paper for everyone!
Toilet paper parties should definitively become a thing and when they do, sheโs going to throw one herself. After all, toilet paper is free, isnโt it?


70. Itโs never too early to get up
Oversleeping should never be a problem when you have kids. Even if you wanted to sleep a bit longer, theyโll be there to get you back on track.


71. โYouโre Just Another Stuffed Animal To Me!โ
One of the cutest things about children is that they easily blend into the environment. She wanted to become one of her own stuffed animals and she got her wish.


72. The plumberโs apprentice
Dads and daughters share a special bond that nobody can break. Even when daddyโs conducting plumbing repairs she doesnโt want to leave his side and thatโs adorable.


73. Look what I found mommy!
Warning: donโt look at this image while eating or youโll be making the same mistake as his mom. We better donโt find out what happened next.


74. Boxed in
Kids can teach how to use space as efficiently as possible. Goes on to prove what we already said about kids being able to fit in just about anywhere. A box is comfier than a bed anyway.


75. Santa creeped me out!
Santas can be really scary with their long bushy beards, baggy suits, and creepy voices. Who cares about the presents, weโre out of here.
