If there’s one thing I’ve learned for sure after just five years of being a parent, it’s that most weeks are riddled with as many failures as wins. We’re all learning as we go and honestly, kids are busy changing the game at every turn.

We have to own those fails to grow, and also so other parents know their own fails are totally normal – so take a scroll through these 14 admissions and feel a bit better about yourself in the process!

14. Clothes are hard.

Especially when the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.

This would be so mortifying.

12. This is kind of metal.

If she had the personality to pull it off.

I feel like at least some mums would.

It sure sounds funny when he says it that way.

4. He was not crying wolf.

And the parents will never be the same again.

3. Eh, they all look the same.

He probably didn’t miss much, either.

2. I’m not sure this is a fail.

Except for the falling.

1. All that boy did was tell the truth.

Now do your walk of shame back home.

Yeah, I’m going to guess most of us are gonna have days like these headed our way.
