11 mum fails to make you laugh
Oh, the things we do that we didn't quite mean to... How many of these funny 'mum fails' can you relate to?
Judging by the fact that there are more than 45,000 posts on Instagram tagged with the hashtag #momfail, we're guessing there are PLENTY of mums who are quite happy to share their parenting mishaps with the world.
We're not talking serious disasters or mum-shaming here; just the little things we all do (or forget to do) from time to time when life's just too darn busy – like putting shoes on the wrong feet or not remembering that the Tooth Fairy was supposed to come last night.
Here's our round-up of some of the best mum fails we've seen. And, yes, here at MFM HQ, we've done most of them – land a whole lot more besides (blush). But you know what? It may all go a bit pear-shaped sometimes but we all know we're trying our VERY best...
1. When you realise the winter hat wasn't necessary (yes, that's SWEAT)
2. When you borrow your kid's shoelace and forget to give it back...
3. When you realise the tooth fairy doesn't have any coins in her purse...
4. When your homemade playdough looks like placenta...
5. When plaits go a bit wonky...
6. When you cobble together the strangest-looking lunch ever...
7. When your kid is scared of your cakes...
8. When YOU get their shoes on the wrong feet...
9. When you turn your back for so long they've given themselves cartoon hair...
10. When you put them in a bouncy seat before they're ready...
11. When you forget to take photos of your 2nd - so you stick all the birthday stickers on at once...
