kids

As younger people abandon Facebook for Instagram and TikTok, it seems like we're more aware of all the crazies that frequent the social networking site. Some of the best places to find unhinged and ignorant people are mommy/parenting groups. There's an overwhelming number of Covid-19 nonbelievers, people who do extremely weird sh*t with breast milk, and of course - lots of talk of essential oils. If the children are our future, and they're being raised by these people, we might be more screwed than we thought. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the times that teachers realized kids were gifted. Sometimes the signs are just too obvious to miss. 

As if parenting wasn't already a slightly-gratifying nightmare, the quarantine and home-schooling are making it increasingly difficult to stay sane. If you're suddenly feeling more violent and frustrated than usual, you're not alone. Raising kids is already a full time job. Now there's almost zero time to take care of yourselves. The good news is that you're not alone. And these amusing memes about the trials and tribulations of parenthood are pretty great proof. If you're lucky, they may even elicit a rare laugh from your exhausted body.

Ever wondered what would have happened if kids will write screenplays? Brutally honest, funny, sometimes naive screenplays?

Here are some of the best quotes we found there, you are more than welcome to send them you kid (or grandson) quote and be featured there.

Online scammers can be extremely grating, but you gotta admit, it can be pretty darn fun to f*ck with them!

Writer Ariel Dumas asked people what stuff they used to think were the height of luxury. Turns out everyone had similar childhoods. Even Jaegermeister dropped into the conversation, to be met with a pretty solid slam.

Whether you're a wear parent yourself, or someone looking for more reasons to avoid procreation, these stories will make you cringe and maybe chuckle.

The world is definitely a mystical, confusing place when you're a kid. Given that your brain isn't fully developed yet, you can't possibly understand everything properly. This can lead kids to have some pretty amusing explanations for things!
