1 Ask about their day.
What are you, the FBI? Is it an interrogation? Children might have a lot to say about their day, but they recoil direct questions. If you really want to know if they learned anything at school or new friends, keep your mouth closed and let it come in an organic way. And if you believe that all you are a child says, be warned: here is here40 kids of lies say that parents always fall.
2 Take an endless photos of them.
There is nothing to lose their minds like asking for the hundredth picture in a period of 10 minutes. Good God, every moment of awakening of their life should he be documented? If you really needanother picture, which is exactly the same as all the other photos of your phone, at least trying to be sneaky and discarded about it. Slam a photo when they are not paying attention.
3 Combing their hair.
All children are not concerned if their hair is a tangled disorder, otherwise they felt coming from sleeping in a garbage dump during a rainstorm. Coming to them with a comb or brush can feel for them as they are being hunted with a rusty pocket knife. As a parent, it's important to choose your battles and trust us, this one can not be won.

4 Follow your threat to limit their screen time.
Each parent conferred their children on how television and video games are making their brain, but we do not always have the courage to follow. Children know that and that's why they panic when our threats are not turned off. Remove their screen time and you look like to refuse them for food and water.
5 Interact with their friends.
By interaction, we do not mean long and drawn conversations. We just mean to make contacts with fleeting eyes and say, "Hello." Any attempt to recognize the existence of their friends can only be interpreted as an attempt to embarrass them in front of their peers. If you want to keep them happy, treat their friends as you meet an ex in the street, a relationship that ended. Just look at your feet, stay silent and hope they do not notice you.
6 Do not keep enough sweet and unhealthy snacks in the pantry at an easy distance to reach.
Bananas and apple slices? Are youjokeme? The occasional piece of fresh fruit is fine, but any child with taste taste buds will require more bangs of their snack options. They want a snack drawer or a pantry shelf that looks like a dream Willy Wonka Fever. Failure to provide this can only mean one thing: you do not really like them. And for larger parental tips, here is the30 parental mistakes worse than everyone does.
7 Sing with your favorite songs.
You could be a classic singer formed, able to hit all the notes with a perfect vibrato, and your kids will always grind as if you are a drunkard, subchar through a karaoke song. As long as theintentionis to mortify them, you're fine. But if you think they look with a hunted reference, immaze you why you have not become Justin Timberlake from your generation, you are mistaken.
8 To dance.
It goes hand in hand with singing. You think you make sweet movements and that all your children see is an uncoordinated adult who still does not realize that the robot is not in its skill set.
9 Remember homework.
Homework is the tax audit of the IRS in the world of children. They know they can not escape, but they fear it from each bone of their body. When their parents bring it, it's never useful. Or at least that's how it's interpreted by children's ears.
You may think you're saying something innocent like, "Do not forget that you have homework to do", but all they hear is: "The clock pulls! You will not sleep tonight and will fail in everything you try! You still disappointed me again !! "
10 Try to help them with their homework.
This is an academic collaboration that has been sentenced from the beginning. Because communication is simply not possible. You can read directly from the mission using theexact wordsFrom their teacher, and they will always feel safeguarded in a corner. You push too hard, nor do not understand, neither more complicated, or not complicated enough,why do you do them!
11 Apply a bedtry.
"Apply" might seem like a strong word. You are not a prison guard, after all. Oh, but you could be too well. Stressing that bedtime is imminent is essentially a hostile act on their personal freedom. Why would you absolutely specify the passage of time, as if you were not the secret architect behind all this, draw diabolically trace to steal them precious moments? They can simply dig their nose to you, but rest that somewhere in the head, they sing this big song ofWretched. "Do you hear people singing? / Changing the song of angry men?!"
12 Throw their work that would clearly become invaluable in the world of art in 20 years.
It's like you do not even care about this precipitized pencil masterpiece they have finished in five minutes, then forgotten existed after refrigerator! It is clear that the message you send is: "Your talent does not matter and you should just give up now." How can you?
13 Replace their fries with broccoli.
Imagine this: You are in a restaurant with your family, just try to enjoy a simple meal. You give your order to the server, then this big raw that is called your parent interrupts: "Could you replace broccoli for fries?" Fiiiine. While they are there, why not just make every meal a big bowl of tasteless dough? Because of course, you do not want them to feel joy !!
14 Use saliva and an inch to wipe something from their faces.
There must be a better way to remove a sticker or food particles from your child's face. When they see that the wet thumb takes place towards them, ready to attack his cheek as a silk shower, she sends a thrill in the spine. They do not recoil because they oppose cleaning their faces. But the difference between a wet towel and your thumb for the spindle is like the difference between a beautiful shower and being sprayed with a garden hose.
15 Have them stop playingFortif Because it's dinner or anything.
Yes, refueling a body with the nutrients it must survive is important. But will it help a child to survive the Dystopian nightmare of Kill-or-being killed - Scape de Fortnite? Your inability to understand how a third-person shooting game is more important than sitting at a table, claiming to eat vegetables and ignore the questions about what they have done with their day to feel legitimately foolishly .
16 Talk about puberty.
Just walk. You can review the subject later. Like when they are 30.
17 Ask them to do grocery shopping when your list is longer than an element.
If they have no choice but to accompany you on a grocery expedition, well. But let's go at least hierarchize. How much on this so-called "list" do you really need? We can say without looking at you are probably going to the sea with fruits and vegetables. Allow your child to tap it essentially. Pop Phets. Boom, you have finished! What was so difficult for that?
18 Take big photos on your iPad.
You know your phone takes pictures too, right? You do not have to whip this big iPad and start pointing out everywhere, as if you hug with a three-ring binder. Whenever you do that, you make your kids want to follow the same safety advice to survive a fire house: stop, drop and roll.
19 Talking about the weather.
Oh really, today's temperature could fluctuate a few degrees under normal, so we might want to bring a sweater or at least one light windproof, unless we are worried about this prediction of 20% rain, So we should might bring a slicker, but nothing too heavy because oh my god, please do it stop !! A parent speaks of what the weather "could be" is the equivalent of a water kid.
20 Use the lol acronym in a sentence.
It's like when children in the 60s were facing parents who insisted on things like: "It's Groovy, I can dig." They do not think you're cool now. In fact, the opposite opposite.
A parent is always better served by being (or at least seeing being) on knowledge. Once you start dropping Slang - "This girl you're talking about, does your BAE?" - Not only did you give a cause to a justifiable child to leave the house and become a full-time slice, you ruined your poker face. They know whatyouknow. Feign ignorance, and you have a much better chance to acquire important Intel. And remember: always turn off the40 words over 40 people should not use.
21 Be too loving with your spouse or partner.
Three words: Get ... a ... bedroom. Yes, children are very happy that their parents feel a real affection towards the other. But this affection should be communicated in an approved way by children and non-gross. Like, just smiling at each other. Or holding your hand for five seconds until their children notice, then immediately releasing your handle withextreme prejudice.
22 Be too loving withthem.
If you seriously want a hug and / or kiss your child, act as a normal person and ask for it before leaving the house, and certainly before the nuances of the window are open or there is Natural light of sunlight, which could expose your parent-child affections to a ricaning look of a ruthless world out of the world.
23 To be too affectionate with them while their friends are there and can see everything !!
You leave only one choice: leave the city and change its name, changes their entire identity. They must enter the witness protection program. Seriously, what else can they do? The way you leaning for a kiss, and he landed directly on their cheek and stayed there for several seconds? How could your child eventually live this? They have the mark of the beast now. You canceled them.
24 Failure to understand why watching people play video games on YouTube is fascinating.
Yes, it makes no sense. Why not just play Minecraft rather than watching a guy who seems to live in the basement of his parents play Minecraft for an hour after hour? How is this entertainment? Just ask the question means that you are painfully out of contact and the extent of your knowledge of your video game starts and probably ends with the original Super Mario Bros.
25 Ask that they do not treat the bathroom like that of a toilet stop truck.
It does not feel like asking a lot. You just do not want them to use the toilet as if it's a bullseye, they have no intention to hit. Or leave wet towels on the ground or toothpaste spots on the vanity mirror, or God knowsWhatIt's in the sink.
Your reasonable requests, however, are welcomed as if you are a health inspector looking to close the family business. Which potential do they spit to make you go? To learn more about the best ways to clean after your children, check20 amazing tricks to clean your bathroom.
26 Be on facebook, or any other social media.
Imagine being a child again and your parents suddenly have the ability to tell you something or share a photo, or (the sky helps us) a "joke" and that this exchange can be witness byeveryone you know and everyone you can ever know. It's horror shows that modern children face. How are embarrassed? A2017 British StudyFound only 14%, or a little more than one in ten children, are more embarrassed by their parents online than in real life. It is definitely one of theReasons why you should be so happy that you are not a teen right now.
27 Tell hiking stories about your youth that are not going anywhere.
If you inspect your children a "hilarious" tale of your childhood, make sure it adheres to these two rules: one, it has a point. Whether "our phones werewall-tied"or" and that's when I learned that you are not responsible for yourself ", have a destination or morality in mind. Secondly, your story is longer than aLooney Tunescartoon? If so, do not bother. You are heading straight for "I get it, I am GeeeeeeeeEt" Territory.
28 Give them housework.
Ask a child to get out of the trash or empty the dishwasher may seem harmless or even an opportunity for them to learn more about the value of hard work, but it is only a matter of community service. They only do it because the other option is incarceration.
You can encourage them all you want, but your "good job" is falling on deaf ears. You could also be a parole officer, going to their paperwork and remember them not to jump the city.
29 Continue to insist that "the originalStars warsThe movies were the best. "
You never convince them thatEmpire hitsis a better movie thatThe last Jedior evenThug. It will never happen. It would be like asserting that the Marx brothers are intrinsically more upset to the talentedTitan teen go. Shoot your hair everything you want, you do not change their minds. If something you make them just more annoying than you are as stuck in the past.
30 Force them to watch baby's photos of themselves.
No, this photo of them like a baby, hairless and slobbering, soaked around the kitchen floor like a penguin without dirty, is certainly not "A-Dor-a-ble". It is a public attack on their character.
