If there’s one thing we can confidentially say about being a parent, it’s this: There are some moments with your kids that you did not see coming. As much as you may try and prepare, at the end of the day, kids are far too unpredictable. Sometimes that can be stressful or scary, but other times, it’s gut-busting hilarious!

Those kinds of moments are the ones you cherish forever. Some live on in a memory while others are captured on camera. Lucky for us, there are lots of moments that fall into the latter category. We’ve searched for some of the funniest parenting moments for you to enjoy down below, so keep scrolling to have a laugh – and don’t worry, the parents who shared them are doing the same.
