Parents have different ways of raising their kids. Some of them implement strict rules at home while others tend to watch their kids’ every move. There are also parents who like to allow their kids to explore and develop skills and behaviors on their own.
And then there are parents who like to pull pranks on their kids. There’s nothing wrong with this method. In fact, it’s actually good as it makes things more fun for the family.
If you’re doubting that, here are 50 parents who nailed parenting by pranking their kids.
1. The reason
Most people would find this funny. However, for a kid who’s feeling inferior about his sibling, it’s probably not the best response from a parent. Let’s just hope that this kid has a good sense of humor and awesome relationship with the parent and his brother.
2. Clever
It’s not easy to convince toddlers to drink their medicine. Apart from the screaming and running, you also have to deal with the loud cries. To avoid all those things, this parent came with a very clever solution. This kid will never be able to tell the difference, right?
3. The birthday cake
Parents know their children too well. Even without hearing stories, they seem to know everything.
4. Sponge cake
Who would think of using actual sponges to make a sponge cake? I guess some parents definitely have a weird sense of humor.
5. Motivation
This dad has a funny and clever way of encouraging his kid to study better. She’s currently pulling a D which means she still has a long way to go before she can break the glass.
6. Dad’s response
This dad has a good sense of humor. When his daughter posted a picture of her on Facebook, he immediate created and uploaded his own version. Honestly, I think he did better. Those socks really look cute!
7. So bad
Parents aren’t just great when it comes to pranking. Turns out, they’re great in annoying their kids, too. They like to rub it in.
8. For Halloween
When people dress up for Halloween, they either go for monsters or superheroes. Some get creative and dress up as fairy tale characters. For some reason, this mom chose to dress up as her son for Halloween. What an odd choice!
9. “Frozen”
After telling her parents she wanted Frozen gifts, this was what they gave her. I bet Elsa and Anna would feel sad for this girl and her bag of frozen peas.
10. Safety first
This dad did the right thing during her daughter’s first driving lesson. I’m just not sure how the life vest would save him in case something bad happens.
11. Sense of humor
After cutting strawberries, this dad placed a few pieces on his face and asked if he had acne issues. Based on how big the spots were, I’d say it’s pretty serious.
12. Picture frame
His mom said she couldn’t find any picture frame so she used this. I think she did an awesome job. Even the princesses agree.
13. Only her
She made everyone leave the table so she could have a solo picture with the food. She deserved it, particularly since no one helped prepare them.
14. (Not so) Secret Santa
Mom was having a hard time understanding how the concept of Secret Santa works. She’s not really supposed to give away her identity, particularly her name.
15. Challenged
Contrary to what most people think, not all grandparents like to spoil their grandkids. Some of them like to pull pranks, just like this grandma. Her grandson told her wanted 100 things from the dollar store and she happily accepted the challenge.
16. Like poop
Grandma bought this mug for her grandson because coffee looks like poop. Plus, she thought her grandson would find it funny. Based on his reaction, it’s safe to say that he’s extremely amused.
17. Apple watch
Be careful about the things you asked your parents. Make sure that you’re super precise when asking something. If you want an apple watch, be specific. Otherwise, you might end up with something like this.
18. Beets
Parents don’t like to disappoint their kids. When their young ones ask for something, they try their best to deliver. Take it from this mom. This is her version of beets by Dre.
19. Like a kid
It’s hard to say if this guy is complaining or bragging about how his parents prepared the couch for him when he had to stay in their house for one night. With those superhero sheets, I’d say he’s definitely bragging.
20. A secret
This guy asked his father to bring him something to school. His dad picked the best bag for it. He even wrote his name on the tag!
21. Not funny
This parent chose to serve his prank during breakfast. It’s a horrible way to start the day, particularly for the kids who were expecting cinnamon rolls on the table.
22. The right age
Mom considered Keith’s 23rd birthday super special. This was the reason behind it.
23. Misunderstood
His grandparents thought they were giving their grandson exactly what he wanted. Well, you can’t blame them. Eye pad and iPad do sound the same.
24. A gift from Dad
He’s crying because he finally got the gift he’s been asking for a long time- an EggsBox 360. That’s surely hard to find these days. I wonder where his dad got it from.
25. Photobomber
Dad wanted to spice up his daughter’s photo. His armpit was all he needed to make this picture spicy.
26. Thanks, Dad.
Dad finally got her the “eye pad” she wanted. He did an awesome job with the lashes!
27. Favorite child
Parents say that they love their kids equally. However, their actions say otherwise. Clearly, Rosie is the favorite child in this house.
28. “Soda”
That’s the look of broken trust. The little girl will have trouble trusting her parents again when it comes to sodas.
29. Watching
Despite what it looks like, this Dad wasn’t planning anything bad against the guy. He simply wanted to be in her daughter’s photo.
30. Surprise!
A daughter asked his dad to make her a surprise snack. I bet she got the shock of her life when she opened it.
31. Memorable day
This girl’s prom night was memorable for sure. She won’t forget the day her dad decided to be a photobomber in one of her most important photos.
32. Dad of the Year
It didn’t matter if dad’s color was uneven or if his lipstick wasn’t as red as the original character. The most important thing was that the little girl was beaming with happiness.
33. Just proud
This dad found his son’s confiscated ID on a wall of a liquor store. Instead of getting mad, he looked actually proud. He even took a photo and sent it to his son!
34. Trolling a daughter
Dad did great in all the photos. His daughter probably got her talent in doing poses from him.
35. For the patient parents
This station will encourage more parents to stick around children’s parties. They won’t be rushing their kids to go home anymore.
36. For business
The kid was attacked by a howler monkey when he was 12. For some reason, his dad thought it’d be great for business if he printed the photos of the attack and used it to advertise his travel company.
37. Dream come true
She wanted to be an ear for Halloween and her dad did his best to make that happen. He even made a cotton swab to go with her costume.
38. About short shorts
One of the best ways to teach kids life lessons is by experience. Based on this photo, it’s safe to say that the girls won’t be wearing them anymore.
39. Dad and the kitten
Dad was super happy to finally have a kitten. He didn’t just take a photo of it but he also let it drive. I guess he’s got a new favorite son now.
40. Dad jokes
How do you know if a dad joke is being delivered? Simple. If a family photo looks like this, you know dad just dropped a horrible dad joke.
41. Instant replacement
The parents didn’t take long to replace the picture on the wall. Their son just moved out and they already have their dogs’ photos around the house.
42. Googly eyes
Putting googly eyes on everything inside the refrigerator isn’t an easy job. This is one patient parent.
43. Dad and the cat
Dad doesn’t like cats at all. This cat, on the other hand, clearly adores dad. They look cute together, right?
44. Being a little person
Being a little person isn’t that bad. It’s actually a good thing since you’ll be able to use your daughter’s Barbie jeep.
45. A suit for the baby
Conor McGregor bought a suit for his baby. I’m not sure if it’s a prank or not, but the baby looked super cool!
46. A gag
Don’t worry, this referee wasn’t blind. He just has a good sense of humor and likes to prank people.

After years of convincing, this dad finally gave in and got an iPhone. However, a few days after, he got this customized phone case.
49. Lost power
This guy complained about his apartment losing power for about 2 days. His dad’s solution? It’s sending these guys to investigate the case.
50. Father’s Day breakfast
I guess this is the day the dad starts introducing the kids to Star Wars. The force is definitely strong with these three.
