funny parent stories

One story I heard was about a helicopter parent who followed their college - aged kid to campus on the first day. They actually tried to sit in on the orientation session for new students, much to the embarrassment of their child. The college staff had to gently ask the parent to leave as it was only for students.

One funny foster parent story is when a foster parent tried to teach a young boy how to cook. The boy accidentally put salt instead of sugar in the cake batter. When they baked it and tasted it, their faces were hilarious. The foster parent just laughed it off and they had a great time remaking the cake together.

One time my parents decided to redecorate my room while I was at a sleepover. When I came back, they had painted it bright purple. I hated purple! It was like a horror to see my once - cozy blue room turned into this eye - sore. And they were so proud of it.

Well, one story I heard was when a first - time dad tried to change the baby's diaper. He got everything out but then the baby peed all over him right at that moment. He was so shocked and his wife couldn't stop laughing.

Sure. Once my friend's parents were trying to set up a new TV. They got all the wires mixed up and ended up with the remote controlling the ceiling fan instead. It was hilarious as they were so confused and kept pressing buttons, making the fan go crazy while the TV remained blank.

I heard about a parent - teacher conference where the teacher was concerned about a child's messy handwriting. The parent just smiled and said, 'Well, you see, he's left - handed and we have three cats at home that keep running across his paper while he writes. It's a battle zone at the homework table!' This light - hearted explanation diffused the tension and made the teacher see the situation in a more humorous way.

Sure. Once my dad tried to fix the leaky faucet but ended up spraying water all over the kitchen. He was soaked and we all couldn't stop laughing. Another time, my mom was trying to do an online shopping but accidentally added 10 of the same item to the cart instead of just one. It was hilarious when she realized what she had done.

Sure. My parents went to pick me up from school once and they were both wearing really mismatched clothes. My dad had on two different colored socks and my mom had a shirt on inside out. I was so mortified as all my friends were staring.

Sure. One time, a teacher called a parent to tell them their child was constantly daydreaming in class. The parent replied, 'Well, that's because they inherited it from me. I used to be a professional daydreamer too!'

A teacher once told a parent that their child was always trying to teach the other kids yoga poses during recess. The parent said, 'Oh, that's because we are a yoga - loving family. I guess he wants to share the fun.'
