15 Moms And Dads Who Prove Parenting Really Doesn't Come With A Manual

Parenting is without question one of the hardest jobs in the world. Not only do you have to fend for your own grown-up self, which, as we all know, harder than it looks, but you have a little mini-me relying on you for their every need. And because you have so much to think about at once, fails can and do happen.

You are, after all, juggling countless balls at once, and just like clowns, you have the potential to be hilarious when you inevitably drop one or, if you're anything like me, the whole bunch. Thankfully, the internet exists, and many parents are now sharing their most hilarious fails in an act of solidarity!

So, without further ado, here are 15 of the best parenting fails that the World Wide Web has to offer:

In fact, this pancake - if you can call it that - isn't anyone friendly.

13. These probably tasted great so whatever!

To be fair to this mom, there's a lot of kids out there who'd actually enjoy eating something that looks like snot.

Something tells me that they wouldn't go down too well with actual ninjas.

I don't even think these are appropriate for a hen party - and that's saying something.

So, the next time you inevitably end up making a parenting fail, take comfort in the knowledge that you're not alone. It's a hard job, and your mess up most likely won't be as bad as some of the ones featured on this list!
