parents

Sometimes a well-timed inappropriate thing said at a funeral can actually improve the mood and make the experience more meaningful. Other times it's family members almost coming to blows over who gets their grandpa's estate. Pretty wide swing of the pendulum, for sure. For crazy wedding stories, check this out.

These dads are just being the daddest dads ever. It's all jokes by dads and jokes about dads. So many bad jokes. So many dads. Just about the father-est stuff you ever saw. It's all lawn mowing and complaining about your kids. If you want to see some pure pun-tastic dad jokes then you can find some here. Or if you want some non-dad-related bad jokes, we've got you covered too. We got all the bad jokes here. 

These people got some seriously unwanted attention from their parents at all the wrong times. Spilling secrets, putting them in awkward social situations, you name it. As you get older, your parents will never see you as an adult. You will always be a baby. And that's assuming they like you. Here are some more parents who embarrassed the hell out of their kids.

No parent wants to see the day when their kid does something stupid, gets hurt, and then does that exact same thing again. It happens more than you'd think. From running around with buckets on their heads to getting stuck in trees, here are some all-stars.

Sometimes parents lie to their kids to keep them safe. Sometimes they lie to keep things fun. Sometimes they just wanna be absolute douches.

They just want to keep their kids safe...

Just because something is legal to do, does not mean it's the right thing to do. Here are some serious A-holes who sadly got what they wanted.

The real challenge is not letting the kid know they're being funny. Kids can't know that yelling obscenities in a crowded bookstore is hilarious. It'd totally throw off their priorities.

Old people are trying their best to catch up to with the times and use Facebook correctly. Progress is not without its speed bumps.

Having kids is hard. I don't personally have any, but I was a kid once, so I can only imagine what my parents went through. Children have their own agenda, which includes eating candy for dinner and complaining if asked to help. As a parent, getting angry at your children probably isn't the most effective way to mould them into good human beings. But there's this thing called reverse psychology, and it's amazing. After reading the following posts from AskReddit, I realized that my own parents duped me with reverse psychology. Sneaky... and clever. Well done, parents. 

When you spend a lot of time around a small group of people, you start to develop...shall we say, eccentricities?

You might find that you yourself believed some of these dumb things for a while, or even to this day. But hopefully not the bear one. The bear one is just plain dumb.

We've all done dumb stuff. Let's start out by not denying it. We were all curious children once, and for most kids, the only way to learn about something is to do it, not to be told. You won't know the meaning of hot until you put your hand into the fire. That kind of thing. When you have a whole world to learn and make up your mind about, you're bound to make some stupid decisions. And hopefully you learnt from them! Here are 21 stories of some very dumb things these Redditors did in their youthful days, and boy are they hilarious. 

I get it, your house is your own private space and whatever rules you believe in apply inside. Sure, that's reasonable. Don't like me to swear inside your house? I won't. Don't want me to wear shoes inside your house? I'll leave them outside. But some of the things in these stories from Redditors are way beyond reasonable requests. I get that it's your house and children can be messy sometimes but... whoa. Take a chill pill and relax. Read on for some extremely weird and hilarious house rules some poor kids had to live with. 

Good or bad, these moms have done some bonkers shit.
