Remember when your child made you a birthday cake using anything they could find in the pantry - and not only was it not edible, but they also made a huge mess... Or the time they tried to cut their own hair... Or the time they fed the dog chili - and the aftermath of that?! Well you're not alone. 

Kids exercise poor judgement daily. That's how they learn right from wrong, good from bad, and acceptable versus "oh heck no, you're grounded!"

Next time your child does something heinous, remember these images taken by other parents whose kids did something just as bad or worse (it might make you feel better about whatever your child has done). Then take a deep breath and walk away until you've calmed down enough to deal with it.
