These Insane Families Will Make Yours Look Way Too Normal
What would we do without family? Well, we probably wouldn't get dragged to the grocery store as much, or get grilled about why we never bring around girlfriends or boyfriends. Let's be honest — it's a necessary means though since, uh, we wouldn't be here otherwise.
In all seriousness, our families are everything. Yes, they can be embarrassing like when your mom drops you off at school and yells "I LOVE YOU" so that all your friends can hear. But, they're not that bad (even though when you were 12 you probably hated their guts for literally no reason). I mean, how does YOUR mom sneak food into the movie theater? Sometimes it takes seeing how other families disfunction, I mean operate, to truly appreciate yours. So, without further ado.
Dad REALLY Doesn't Like Pictures
Dads are arguably the hardest people to get to take family pictures. For the most part, they're awkward and always look uncomfortable posing.
This dad makes it well know that he isn't about to take a family picture without stinking it up a little bit. Real family members will stay by his side.
The Long Lost Big Brother
When your big brother is the Russian President Vladimir Putin, it can cast a huge shadow. Sibling pressure is a real thing.
You don't want to be the one kid who is living in your parent's basement till you're 33 while your brother is rubbing elbows with Presidents all over the world. The pressure is real.
The Internal Motherly Dilemma
As a mother, it can be a balancing act between wanting your kids to go out and live life, while also trying to maintain control of their every move.
Any mom who can be topical and maneuver their way around meme culture like this one can is already doing parenting very right.
Care Package Incoming
We may disagree with style, but this dad isn't necessarily wrong in his objective. When a chip flavor is so good, you NEED to share it.
This chip was worth the shipping and handling and deserved a big box, but what flavor was it? We need answers!
Deception Is The Key To A Happy Family
Sometimes to get through everyday life with your family, you need to be smart and deceiving. Your siblings are out to eat your snacks, and as soon as they hit the fridge, they're fair game.
Natural selection takes over, and only the creative will survive. Well-thought-out hiding methods are the only way you'll be able to enjoy your favorite snack with your savage siblings.
Imitation Is The Greatest Form Of Flattery, Right?
You have to take it as a compliment if your mother is willing to dress up like you. It means that you have a unique look that's very recognizable.
Any publicity is good publicity and kudos to this mom for putting in the work to look like her son. Bravo.
Straight From The Coup
This woman asked her son what she looked like and he said she looked like a chicken in that vest. Honesty is hard to find nowadays, and sometimes people need to know the truth.
Kids have no filter or social cues to abide by so they always give the rawest feedback. We need to learn to embrace it.
You Need To Be Adaptable
If there's one word to describe children, it's "unpredictable." One day you'll think you gave birth to the second coming of Jesus, and the next day they're suspended for giving a kid a swirly in the bathroom.
As a parent, it's important to be adaptable and be able to think on your feet. If a kid draws a house on your wall in permanent marker, you need to have the presence of mind to frame it.
Relationships Are Built On Trust
Mother-son relationships are built on smuggling food into movie theaters and knowing that they won't snitch.
While most people bring in water bottles and candy, this mom is hauling corn on the cob which is probably the most savage move in the history of movie theater smuggling.
Building Barriers
For anyone who's ever had the pleasure of stepping on a Lego block, you know that it's one of the most annoyingly painful things you can do.
99% of the time it's the parent who has to deal with the pain, but in this case, this mother is teaching her daughter a lesson about cleaning up after herself. It's life lessons like these that matter the most.
Brothers Do The Darndest Things
A kid's imagination is one of the fascinating parts of being young. This little brother probably still thinks that Pokemon are real so if anything this is a moment of realization.
His childhood's officially over now that he knows that the Pokemon isn't actually in front of him.
Playtime Always Tests You Mentally And Physically
When you're the youngest sibling, you have to take beatings that your brothers and sisters don't have the "luxury" of experiencing.
The youngest always is the most mentally tough because they're the guinea pig of every playtime. For example, this little girl is literally getting a fireplace chimney built around her, and there's nothing she can do about it.
Sacrifices Have To Be Made
Ohana means family, and family means that sacrifices are in order. When your sister is hogging all of the attention because she got an excellent review from her teacher, you need to take her out.
This brother is putting things into his own hands to ensure that he's the only show in town. This scene isn't going to end well.
It's Like The Hunger Games In The House
One thing that unites families is pranks they pull on each other. For whatever reason, the more pranks pulled, the closer the family is.
However, the bathroom should be off limits because it's a sacred place. You start down a slippery slope of destruction if you start messing with toilet paper.
Brothers Are Lit
If this guy's house ever catches fire, he's now going to be the first suspect they interview. Why are brothers like this?
Why do they feel the need to push the limits for no reason? What does this fire achieve? Great, we now know that carpet is flammable.
Honesty Is What Keeps Families Alive
Sometimes you need that motherly honesty just to send you into a mental breakdown. You can always count on mom to give you a dose of reality and send you into a slight depression.
Maybe this is the boost of motivation that he needs. This mom is sick and tired of having to ask "so, do you have a girlfriend?" at the dinner table when he comes back from college.
Parents Know What We Really Want
Feast your eyes on the most thoughtful family in the world. Why does every parent feel it's necessary to give flowers when they know those flowers are just going to get thrown out shortly after?
If you really love your child, give them a chicken so that they can actually have a use for it. Two words to get your kid to love you forever, "rotisserie chicken."
Little Cousins Need To Tread Lightly
Okay, so are little cousin's even considered family anymore? Most of them are little brats that always ask if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend and then scream "EW" to whatever your answer is.
There would be a price to pay for a little cousin who got me excited for brownies and then just gave me this.
Let's Hope Humor Runs In The Family
Honestly, these are the types of cards we don't want to have for our birthday. Why? Because instead of celebrating your day of birth, now you are forced to think of your parents having sex.
There's a lot of things that can gross a kid out, but nothing tops the thought of your parents doing it. NOTHING.
"Dad, This Is A Phase, Right? "
You can tell by the look on this kid's face that he is mortified that this is his father. The dad looks like the long-lost KISS band member.
Let's hope that this baby doesn't end up getting his father's skin complexion because it looks like he can burn by standing under a fluorescent light for too long.
