Parenting is difficult. Parents often don't know what they're doing, so they have to figure it out on the fly. We've all had that moment when your parents find out that you've learned a new swear word, and have to deal with the fallout. Some parents will make you put soap in your mouth. Others will send you to your room. Sometimes they just start swearing too, and that's pretty cool. Often parents try to get creative with their punishments. Some are incredibly effective. Some aren't. Other ones are super creepy and cause lasting psychological damage. Anyway, here are weird punishments.
It's a pretty well known fact that, well, kids are stupid creatures. Kids aren't necessarily good at anything, so when they get a chance to brag, they take it. Even if it's the smallest thing you wouldn't think of as a real achievement, they'll let you know about it. Here are some strange flexes people saw in their own kids as well as themselves as children.
Some people grow out of it, some don't. Children are stupid idiots. Sure, they're just learning everything about the world for the first time, but hot damn are they dumb as rocks for a while there. We were dumb too. We're still dumb, but we can do long division and drive, so that's pretty good.
Calling the cops on your own blood, hot damn! On the one hand, she was completely abused the offer to use his car, and used it longer than he offered.

Isn't there a way to solve issues among your own family without getting the police involved? This guy asked the internet if he was a jerk for disowned his sister for marrying his childhood bully.
We get a kick out of people being petty like this guy who uses his imperfect lawn to drive his mean neighbor insane, but we've never seen someone cause family drama with the act of pitching a red onion as far as they could. To be fair to him, they already had some cut onions, but to be fair to her, it is just an onion.
The struggles of parenting birth their own comedy gems all the time, so here are some funny and relatable bits and pieces for those of you who have kids. Or if you don't have kids and just want to live a parenting lifestyle vicariously through memes, that would work too.
You may have heard funny stories about twins doing a switch, but it can go deeper than that. There are tons of stories to be had. Identical twins aren't all that rare. It's pretty likely that some went to your school. That or you yourself have a twin. If so, congrats on being the better twin.
Holy crap, how do you even get in a situation like this? We've seen people want to disown their sister, but this is an even bigger piece of family drama. And what are you gonna do? Send your step-daughter to prison? Is that even the right thing to do? Defrauding your parents into debt is a terrible move, but how many lives do you wanna ruin here? All in all, this isn't a fun situation to be in.
Sometimes we get bogged down with the idea of "completely destroying" the people who have wronged you with some impressively satisfying act of nuclear revenge, but like they say "living well is the best revenge." This guy's petty move at the end there is a nice touch too.
Texting is still something that older parents didn't grow up with, so naturally they're gonna make some mistakes. Also, they're parents, so what they choose to say isn't gonna be exactly what you wanted to hear either. Sometimes parents go savage but mostly they're just overbearing and bad with technology.
