They say being a parent is the hardest job in the world. You are given the grave responsibility of raising another human being. And your job doesn’t end the moment your child leaves the nest; being a parent is a lifetime task.
Unfortunately, having a child doesn’t come with a manual that will guide you in your whole parenting journey. That is why no matter how hard you try, some slips are bound to happen.
Thus, we have compiled some of the funniest epic fails these parents have committed as they continue to figure things out.
1. Drowning in a sea of bubbles
And I meant it literally. When the mom is away, the kids will play. The dad is left freaking out at the moment because he only sees 3 kids in the bath and it’s supposed to be 4.
