It’s not easy being a parent. Kids are time-consuming and demanding and if there’s one thing most parents have in common it’s that they’re just bone-tired. The fatigue and distraction can lead to all sorts of easy-to-make mistakes, but the way I see it, as long as your child makes it in one piece through the day and into bed at night, you are batting 1000.
These parents all had some fails but hey, they truly care, and that’s the important part.
1. Like this mom who only forgot one ingredient.
It's the little things in the universe that keep you humble and remind you that you're not half as smart as you think. I made a grilled cheese sandwich for the kids and forgot the cheese🤦🏻♀️. #ParentingFail #FML #momlife pic.twitter.com/JefVlmwPAL

2. Or this dad who didn’t consider the bigger picture.
Just made Winnie the Pooh as a pb sandwich for my daughter. Only to realize I have to cover him with the other slice. #DadFail pic.twitter.com/IZtktBMvcX

This will be the last time they put me in charge of taking pictures for my son's music recitals. #ParentFail pic.twitter.com/4BeVRITuV8

5. This dad who should maybe stay away from the kitchen. And the jokes.
I don't always try to make my son pancakes, but when I do…I burn the s*** out of them #DadFails pic.twitter.com/SOONCDOr8R
