Sometimes it's hard to tell whether these devious parents are plain old bored, or having way too much fun subjecting their kids to all manners of embarrassment.

Helping your parents with their gadgets is a daily grind, and not the kind that helps you get those washboard abs. It's more like the kind of grind where you get phone call after phone call about how their smart phone doesn't work. If it doesn't work, then how are you calling me?
However, there are moments when it all becomes worth it, when a parent makes a power move to remind us that they're just people, too, adorable people.

People on Twitter love this. Probably becuase this is better than getting a voice mail asking the same question.

No one said parenting was easy. I mean, I can't even get my cat to clean up after herself. What can I say, she's her own nightmare.
But we've all been witness to bad parenting, and there's nothing more awkward. I'll yell at my cat from the comfort of my own home, but when we're in public, it's a different story. I'd hate to end up in some story on Reddit where I'm yelling at my cat.
That's where these people are, except with actual people and not cats.
