10 Parents Having A Pretty Miserable Day

Some live by the saying, “You don’t know true love until you have a child.” But for some people, like actor Ray Romano, “Having children is like living in a frat house – nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.” 

Parenting has satisfying and difficult moments, and this new list from Bored Panda’s series of articles is still about the latter. You’re about to see images of vandalized walls and scratched cars – just children being children but giving their moms and dads a tough time in the process.

We also spoke with Marion, a mom of two and owner of the blog site Not So Perfect Parenting, to get some firsthand insight.

Parents face a laundry list of struggles daily. For Marion, the biggest hurdle is finding a way to include her children in her plans.

"My time is now a more precious resource, and for me to do anything without my children in tow is a major organizational feat," she told Bored Panda. "And that every conversation with me, as a parent, is through a lens of how something affects Me AND my children. They are the center of my universe. Not me."

People have their reasons for choosing to become parents. For Marion, it's more about the journey to personal growth.

"Parenting for me has been an internal journey as much as external. It's a chance to forgive myself, learn about self-compassion, and continuously improve."
