Moments That Prove Parents Aren’t So Bad, They’re Actually Kind Of Great
Growing up, a lot of us think our parents aren't very cool or they don't understand us and they're only going to stand in our way. It's easy to forget that our parents are people too, who grew up and faced a lot of the same challenges we do.
In the end, it becomes clear that our parents aren't so bad even though they don't really understand memes and never give up on the dad jokes.
She Seems Very Confused.
You can't drop an intricate meme like that on your mom with no warning. You have to ease her into them, starting with ones she'll understand and continue to teach her from there.
What Beautiful School Pictures!
But it does seem that one of them is a little different than the others. This guy's parents did him dirty, framing a picture of Napoleon Dynamite like that thinking no one would notice.
Oh So Scary!
Dads and pets are always an ace combo. They tell you that they don't want a dog or cat, but when the pet in question is left in their care, some serious, hilarious bonding happens.
Who Doesn't Love A Good Chimney?
This photo album of chimneys seems like the exact reason you would want to friend your dad on Facebook. If you don't, you'll never hear the end of it and you know he'll sit you down and show you anyway.
Kiwi Head!
I can feel how soft this picture is from here. This is a prime example of what happens when you leave dad alone with the kids, even for an hour.
Sounds Supportive?
I'm sure what he meant to say was, "Daleynee, we love you very much and are sorry you're sad. You can do a lot better, he was a total scrub. Now come down for dinner."
That's A Mean Trick!
I'm sure it gets hard to trick kids into making healthy decisions, especially when junk food is so good, but this is exactly how trust issues form. She's going to reflect on this moment 20 years down the road in therapy.
Are They Twins?
You could have fooled me. Now, mom and daughter can share clothes. Although, I'm willing to bet her style changed shortly after because as soon as your parents think something is cool, it isn't anymore.
Very Mature.
That being said, the beautiful handwriting takes away from the trashy aspect of this birthday card. I would say it's worth a good eye roll now, and maybe an audible groan.
This Is So Wholesome.
While tucking this pug into bed for his afternoon nap, this person's mom put pillows on either side of him so that he wouldn't roll off the bed while sleeping! So thoughtful.
They've Got A Genius In The Family.
Moms always have the best and most efficient ways to deal with troubles in life. Like this mom who is wearing pool goggles to cut up onions, protecting herself from tears.
Think She Will Notice?
White Spirit is a legit cleaner, so I'm not sure why they thought anything else would happen. It's a bold move cutting eyes out of a magazine. I would have tried to draw them back on.
Family Is Forever.
This guy is proposing his way into a life of dad jokes. It's a good sign (haha), though. The more a dad makes fun of you, the more he likes you.
That's Some Serious Sass.
But doesn't Beyoncé have this effect on all women? When Lemonade came out, we all had this conversation with our man. This mom has just done it with extreme style and class.
It's Cute, Sort Of?
This mom wanted to make cute cinnamon buns for a school function and ended up with these. They are cute, in their own ugly little way. I'm really feeling the goggly eyes.
Wow, That Is Quite The Look.
Never have I seen a parent look more disappointed. He's probably going over all the 'when I was your age' speeches and trying to pick which one would be the least futile.
Is It Just Me, Or Can You Hear This Picture?
This dad was trying to put a cowboy hat on their cat to take some silly pictures. The cat was obviously not having it. Don't worry, no dads or cats were harmed in the making of this photo.
So Uncool.
We all did this to our parents when we were younger. We need them to drive us and pay for our things, but we didn't want them to be anywhere near us.
Well, Ok Then.
Is this person's dad Ron Swanson? In case you're wondering, he did receive the ax in the mail and I hope they emailed their father as asked. Who doesn't love an extra couple of dollars?
No One Is Immune.
Even celebrities and their celebrity parents do the most dad things possible. David Larry was taking his daughter, Cazzie, on a tour of Civil War battlefields. This sounds absolutely thrilling.
