Parents Who Set The Bar. Not A High Bar, But A Bar Nonetheless

Parenting is tough, and sometimes it can be more difficult than work. As a parent, it's important for mom and dad to have a sense of humor, but they need to set the bar too. It's a skill they learned from their parents and they have to apply it in the best way possible. Also, us kids aren't that easy to maintain, even in moments where parents assume we might escape at a young age way before the words 'house arrest' come to mind. While we find our parents to be lame in our younger years, it's most likely we'll end up doing the same thing we have our own kids.

One kid didn't want to participate in gym class because it was "too cold." This mother delivered on the cheesiest excuse ever by being the mom of the year. A note like this would have saved me from nearly passing my eleventh-grade math exam, but the excuse would be "the teacher sucked."

Dads who wear short shorts in public are so courageous. If they think it's okay for their daughters to strut in public like this, anything is possible. It's great to see him troll his kids by basically saying the more you expose yourself, the more attention you get.

That's what you get for raising messy teens. They get so lazy to the point where you have to give them an ultimatum — there's no other choice. As brilliant as this is, it should inspire those lazy punks to get off their butts and actually help out around the house for once.
