Thought your kids were bad? 19 children that’ll make yours seem holy by comparison
Hilarious #kidsaretheworst Instagram account shows the trials and tribulations of parenting
Kids; they're just the worst aren't they? They come along and put a giant stopper in all the things you used to enjoy.
Nights out - whoosh - gone. Lie-ins... see ya. Peace and quiet? Farewell old friend... Yet for some crazy, inexplicable reason, we wouldn't be without them.
We've recently been introduced to an Instagram page that confirms just that. Parents hashtag pics of their kids' most mischevious, maniacal moments in the knowledge that other parents out there are experiencing troubles just as bad as their own. And it makes for some hilarious browsing!
It showcases all those laugh-when-you-could-cry moments that can only be a product of being a parent. Here are 18 of our favourite #kidsaretheworst moments, we're sure you've been at the butt of some of these stunts!
