30 Parents Are Going Viral With Their Most Awkward Parenting Fails

Embarrassing parenting failures happen much more often than they are discussed, and these individuals have the courage to share theirs.

If you try to imagine parenthood, you might see it as an easy role. You just have to take care of your child, and that's it.

But what does it mean in reality? In reality, you have to ensure that your kids are always fed, dressed, and clean—a piece of cake.

However, if you think a little deeper, you'll realize that you also have to teach them how to talk, behave, and think for themselves. To achieve that lovely mission, you don't need to be a wizard.

But you should possess or develop some additional qualities, such as persistence, communication skills, intelligence, politeness, and especially patience, because you will surely need them. When you look at the entire concept, it's no wonder that, in the eyes of children, parents are role models.

Kids learn the meaning of life and adopt social norms from their parents, but hey, no pressure at all. Despite the required effort, parents also have an innate need to do the best they can for their kids, so in the end, it all comes naturally.

However, sometimes that effort might fail for various reasons. Knowing this, a Twitter user wondered and asked, "What are your parenting fails?"

Many people shared their epic parenting failures and funny, embarrassing moments online. We must admit, it takes great courage to share your own uncomfortable moments with the rest of the world, so while you are laughing at their funny fails, please don't forget to honor them too.
