Sometimes kids don’t even know how funny they are; at times they don’t realize how cruel they are, either. The fun part about it all is that, as a parent, you can never know which of their sides you get to deal with next; and they can reveal it at times when you expect it the least.
Take picking them up from school, for instance. You, as a mom or a dad, are there to bring your little one home, excited to see them, when they open the car door and express their great disappointment that it’s you and not the other parent here today. While that might not seem like much to others, it feels like a little—uncalled for, I might add—dagger to your heart.
This is just one of the many scenarios of what happens when it’s pick up hour. Today we have an entire list of them, as described by the parents themselves, so scroll down to find them and see for yourself what the often surprising reality of life with children looks like.
