Being responsible for the welfare of little people is a monumental task.
Life with kids can be chaotic, busy and full-on.
And even when you are trying your very best it can go very wrong as the parents featured in a recent Buzzfeed listicle discovered.
Take the parent who confused school photo day with pyjama day…

Yes, the look on the kids face does say it all.
Then there was the mortified parent of the child that used the toilet on display at a home wears shop. Of course, the only response to watching your child peeing into a demo toilet is to take a picture.
Definitely one for his 21st birthday.
Then there is the mother who painstakingly made a batch of chocolate covered bananas for her kid’s class party only to be told that they were inappropriate….

We can just imagine how that conversation went… awkward.
Then there are the parents whose children shame them via school work.

Other parenting fails include the dad that kicked a hoppy ball so hard that it ended up in a tree and the mum who accidentally packed an alcoholic drink in her daughters lunch box.

The one thing that all of these parenting fails have in common is that they make the rest of us feel better about the mistakes we’ve made!

She wrote: “Salma: ‘Susan, you are bigger than me!,’ “Susan Sarandon: ‘Of course I am…’ #cannes #friends #susansarandon.”

Mia, 10, Cruz, seven, and five-year-old Ava are the stars of the new commercial for Wonder Smooth Wholegrain bread.
And mumager Bec Hewitt couldn’t be more chuffed for her kids.
Watch the the video in the player above! Post continues…
Bec is so proud of her kids!
“The kids did so well, I was very proud,” she told the Herald Sun.
“They were really excited to do the shoot. I told them they would be asked to say their line a few times to get it right, and they would be wearing a microphone.”
Clearly her kiddies have taken after her and are complete naturals in front of the camera.
Mia is a natural!
At the end of the day, the 32-year-old just wants her little ones to be happy in whatever they do.
“Most importantly, I just told them to have fun.”
For the couple’s eldest, Mia thought her time in the lime light was enjoyable.
“Ava remembers all of her lines and Cruz couldn’t stop eating the sandwiches between takes,” she said.
“He probably at least five sandwiches all up,” she laughed, adding, “I’m not kidding.”
The three kids have grown up so much!
The kids filmed the ad on their beloved home turf, at Melbourne Park with Rod Laver Arena just in the background.
“It’s definitely familiar territory,” she said.
“It brings back so many great memories and I think the kids will always feel at home near a tennis court.”
The Hewitts are loving life back down under with the mum-of-three quipping, “We’ve settled in and everyone is very friendly and welcoming, so we are really enjoying being here.”
The parents are happy to be home, back in Melbourne.

A man has died from a severe peanut allergy after eating takeaway food that he’d specifically requested ‘no nuts’.
The British restaurant owner, Mohammed Zaman, 52, has been found guilty of causing 38-year-old Paul Wilson’s death and sentenced to six years’ jail.
Zaman, who owns six Indian restaurants in Britain, has been convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence after Wilson ordered the takeaway meal of chicken tikka masala with “no nuts”.
Wilson went into anaphylactic shock and died, and was found by his roommate slumped on his toilet, the court heard.
Three weeks before the tragic death, another customer with a nut allergy from the same restaurant had to be treated at hospital for a severe reaction, according to the New York Times.
The prosecutor, Richard Wright, told the court that when it came to risk, Zaman had a “reckless and cavalier” attitude.
During the trial, Wright said: “Time and time again he ignored the danger and did not protect his customers.” He added that Zaman had “put profit before safety, and he cut corners at every turn”.
This is the first time in Britain someone has been charged with manslaughter over the sale of food.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have surprised well-wishers who congratulated them on their fifth wedding anniversary by sending out a card featuring a new portrait of themselves.
A photo of the card was shared on Twitter by royal photographer Paul Ratcliffe, who had sent an anniversary card to the royals in April.
“Lovely thank you card received from TRH The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge for their 5th Wedding anniversary,” he tweeted.
The card read:
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were so touched that you took the trouble to write as you did on the occasion of their 5th Wedding Anniversary.”
“It really was most thoughtful of you and Their Royal Highnesses send you their warmest thanks and best wishes.”
Wills and Kate celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary on April 29 earlier this year.
After the heartbreaking split of what is undoubtedly the most iconic girl group of the nineties, Victoria Beckham turned her back on the music world to focus on re-branding herself as a fashion designer.
But in between her career transition, the brunette beauty decided to try her hand at a different kind of sound with a hip hop album co-written by her BFF at the time, Damon Dash.
Now, 13 years later, seventeen tracks off the unreleased urban album entitled Come Together have been released and naturally we’re all flipping out to hear them.
Check out a snippet from the unreleased album in the video player below! Post continues…

Last month, a demo disc containing discarded tracks from the album was auctioned off on eBay, and some of the tunes have now made their way to YouTube and SoundCloud.
One secret sample track called DAT Simple includes a collaboration from rap group M.O.P with another featuring US rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
Speaking about the album that never surfaced, Damon Dash revealed that David Beckham’s wife’s record label didn’t entirely approve of the new sound she was trying out.
After the group’s split, each Spice Girl attempted a solo career of some sort.
In 2003 he revealed to the Evening Standard: “Because Victoria’s record company aren’t happy about the fact that she came over to New York to work with me they are putting out stories. Before anyone’s even heard the album they were making things up.”
“I heard a story that Victoria was calling herself the female Eminem. That’s just dumb. She never said that. I’m going to open Roc-a-Fella Records in London. I’ll show these Telstar cats how it’s done,” he added.
NEVER FORGET!
Apparently, Posh recorded two full studio albums since her departure from the Girl Group – Open Your Eyes and the unreleased urban demo, which remained that way due to poor sales from the first.
But we can’t feel too bad for the now-mother-of- four, who went on to begin what is perhaps the cutest family ever, as well as building herself a fashion empire as both a designer and style icon.
Anne Hathaway has revealed she was insulted by a personal trainer just weeks after giving birth.
Anne, who gave birth to her son Jonathan just eight weeks ago, told Ellen DeGeneres she was at her West Hollywood gym – which is made up of “people who have too many muscles to be in The Avengers – when she was shamed.

“So I would normally walk in and feel so intimidated, but I walk in I’m like, ‘Yeah I work out with five pound weights, but I pushed a baby out of my body, I feel good right now!’ So I don’t care what I look like, I feel great.”
She said she was on the rowing machine when she noticed a guy staring at her.
“He’s like, ‘So, you been working out at this gym for a long time?’ she recalled.
“And I’m like, ‘Oh my God he’s hitting on me. Nice new mum!’ I feel really good about myself and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah I’ve been coming here for a little bit.’ He’s like, ‘Cool, I’m a trainer here and just wondering if you want some pointers.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh no, he’s not hitting on you he just wants a job’.”
Eventually, she revealed that she’s in fact a new mum.
“And I’m expecting him to say the thing that you say when someone says that you’ve had a baby, which is: ‘Oh, my God, you look great!’ Doesn’t matter if it’s true,” she joked.
“If somebody says, ‘I had a baby 13 years ago’ you say, ‘You look great!’ That is what you do, that is the etiquette.”
“So I say to this guy I had a baby seven weeks ago. And he goes, ‘Oh, trying to lose the baby weight?”
And naturally, she’s wasn’t impressed.
“I say, ‘No, Brandon, it’s a little bit too soon to worry about weight. I’m just trying to regain my strength.’ And he walked away, and I cried a little bit.”

Amber Heard has filed for divorce from Johnny Depp after 15 months of marriage.
Scroll down for video
Amber, 30, reportedly filed her divorce petition on Monday, citing irreconcilable difference, TMZ reports.
The divorce comes just three days after Johnny’s mum passed away.
The couple’s romance has been overshadowed by their run-in with Australian authorities last year after Amber snuck her dogs Pistol and Boo into the country while Johnny, 52, was filming the latest instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean earlier this year.
When asked about his opinion of Barnaby Joyce, Depp replied: “He looks somehow inbred with a tomato.”
“It’s not a criticism. I was a little worried. He just might explode,” he said.
At the time Joyce argued Depp’s celebrity status should not hold him above the law.
Amber Heard was charged with illegally importing animals into the country, and producing a false document (her passenger arrival card, on which the dogs were not declared).
Johnny split from French actress Vanessa Paradis in 2012 after 14 years together.
They have two children together; Lily-Rose, 16 and Jack, 13.

VIDEO: Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have called it quits
According to a shock new report from TMZ, Amber filed the paper work just three days after Johnny’s mother’s death.
TMZ claim the star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and is requesting spousal support. The website also alleges the stars did not sign a prenup, meaning Amber could be entitled to a stake of Johnny’s reported $USD400 million fortune.
But it looks like the father-of-two is going to put up a fight with TMZ claiming Johnny has “filed his response through his lawyer, Laura Wasser. He is asking the judge to reject Amber’s claim for spousal support.”
Neither Amber or Johnny have commented on the split.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in the Bahamas in February last year and often sung each others praises.
Last November the Pirates of the Caribbean actor told E! News he was a “lucky guy” to have Amber as his wife.
“We connect on a lot of levels,” Johnny gushed, mentioning that “the first things that really got me was she’s an aficionado of the blues.”
“I would play a song, some old obscure blues song, and she knew what it was,” he raved.
One of their last outings together at the Art Of Elysium’s 9th Annual Heaven Gala in LA.
Meanwhile the Danish Girl star admitted to Elle last year that she was still very independent.
“Nothing is a dramatic change. We’ve been together for a long time now, so it’s been a fairly organic process. I have a fiercely independent spirit,” she explained to the publication.
To make matters worse, as Johnny deals with the personal grief of losing his mother and the heartbreak over the demise of his marriage, the father-of-two is currently in the middle of the publicity trail for his latest film, Alice Through the Looking Glass.
According to ET, Johnny’s mum Better Sue Palmer sadly passed away on Friday, May 20 after battling a long illness.
Speaking of his mum in 2015, Johnny said she’d instilled him with strong resilience.
“She’d come from nothing but hillbillies and she said, ‘OK, here’s the deal. Next time anybody puts their hands on you, pick up a brick and lay them out,'” he shared with the Nottingham Post.
The pair have only been married for 15 months.
Recently, Johnny and Amber’s marriage has been plagued with drama.
The pair pleaded guilty to falsifying quarantine documents over the smuggling of their two Yorkshire terriers into the country last year while Johnny was filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Despite getting off without a conviction, they were forced to film a bizarre and humiliating apology video which inevitably went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Dramatic few months: Amber and Johnny make their way out of a Queensland court.
Johnny was previously in a long-term relationship with French actress Vanessa Paradis for 14 years before going their separate ways in 2012.
