Parenting is about getting up and going at it another day, regardless of how good or bad of a day you had the day before. Most of us are trying as hard as we can, even when it doesn’t work out, and realize there’s nothing to do but roll with the punches.
These 14 parents were out there making innocent decisions and thinking nothing of it, only to realize later it was coming back to bite them.

But everything old is new again.
My mom has had this newspaper clipping pinned to the cork board in her kitchen since I was 12. I am now 26.

Or maybe not recommending shows. Hard to tell.
5. He didn’t even know he had an Instagram.
This could be creepy but maybe it’s just funny?

2. This is so something I would do.
You’ve gotta be able to improvise.
My parents threw me a belated birthday party at their house, and my Mom was confident she had the correct candles before I showed up.
