Some of these make a little too much sense

A career that requires a sense of humor

WTF

It's true that some people hate kids. I once worked with someone who was so staunchly anti-child it kind of disturbed me. Sure, it can be argued that it's selfish to bring life into this messed up world. But if you look at it another way, it's absolutely optimistic. There's a chance, even if it's a small one, that if you raise your kid right, they could make that same messed up world a better place. Unfortunately, the internet seems to be making that prospect slightly more unrealistic. Nonethel…

Can we make this into a drinking game for adults?

Memes, memes, memes. There are so many out there in the world, and simply not enough hours in the day to take them all in. Wouldn't it be swell if we were like those people on the spaceship in WALL-E , required to do nothing all day but be pumped up with media and snacks? Allegedly, my dad's distant cousin was the guy who was the inspiration for the evil captain in WALL-E, but that's neither here nor there. If that's the most famous person I am related to, I am pretty content with that. But all…

Not a single Limited Too t-shirt in sight…

Uh oh

Parents: Who needs them? Who's got them? Who can't live without them? The answer to all of those questions is…everybody. Sure, not everyone has a relationship with their biological parents , but two people had to do an act of collaboration for you to be alive. Even if you are the product of IVF or were a tube baby, you were created by two people who may or may not have the parent title. The most critical parents aren't the people who made you with their bodies, but the people who raised you. Th…

Lying is a skill

Have you ever been told, “when you live under my roof, you follow my rules”? It's one of the all-time classic lines parents use to mean “sit down and shut up.” Kids don't usually have the power to maliciously comply with their parent's wishes, at least without getting in trouble or being deemed a smart *ss. They typically just have to complicity bow to their parent's every wish. But when they grow up, they're able to give their mom and dad a taste of their own medicine

These kids really have their parents' back!

Why eat broccoli when you could have dinosaur trees?

We are all well aware by now that kids really do say the darndest things. But they also draw the darndest things. While the internet is full of proud parents sharing their kids' hilarious mistakes (often in the form of parenting tweets ), there's something about seeing these funny fails in art form. The blunders just hit different. Recently, Twitter user @strawbyoghurt shared one such masterpiece - a mixed media (crayon and magic marker) piece depicting Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants in fr…

Every family has its quirks, but this redditor's story about how her in-laws reacted to the sex of her unborn child is beyond unsettling. The family nearly had a collective mental breakdown after they failed to will a baby boy into existence through various “rituals,” the ultimate goal possibly being to superimpose their dead grandfather's identity onto the kid. Yikes. Sounds like something out of Rosemary's Baby or Hereditary. Jokes aside, OP's family likely just needs some serious grief couns…
