If you’re a parent, then you know that the days are sometimes full of more fails than wins. You have to take the good with the bad, though, and a sense of humor is key.

These 14 parents are surely having a laugh (and maybe a drink) after surviving these innocent oopsies.

14. Bless her heart.

It’s funnier that no one has tried to help her.

My mom thought this would delete her Netflix account. It’s been this way for TWO YEARS 😂

13. It’s time to just put the phone down.

Poor dads. They try so hard.

12. Well that’s disappointing.

Imagine his face.

My dad spent all summer growing this watermelon only for it to be just rind and seeds.

11. Noooo not the rechargeable mug!

Those things are life if you have kids.

My Mom is staying with us this week for thanksgiving. She wanted to make tea but instead of asking for help with the electric kettle she microwaved my chargeable self heating mug and caught it on fire.

I can imagine my mother doing this.

7. That might be outdated.

But everything old is new again.

My mom has had this newspaper clipping pinned to the cork board in her kitchen since I was 12. I am now 26.

6. She’s just recommending shows.

Or maybe not recommending shows. Hard to tell.

My mom sent me an email.

5. He didn’t even know he had an Instagram.

This could be creepy but maybe it’s just funny?

What was dad trying to do??

4. Such a dad note.

No way a mom wrote that.

This note my dad wrote me to get me out of PE

3. What am I looking at?

I really have no idea how a person decides to do this.

2. This is so something I would do.

You’ve gotta be able to improvise.

My parents threw me a belated birthday party at their house, and my Mom was confident she had the correct candles before I showed up.

1. Worse or better to peel?

I need to know!

My step dad keeps forgetting to take the boiled eggs out of the freezer when they’ve cooled down

I’m going to go ahead and giggle at these folks.

Because tomorrow it’s going to be me.
