It's no secret that being a parent is challenging - that's just a nice way of describing the possibly most difficult pill to swallow in raising children: they make everything more difficult.

Even if we're talking about simple activities like dusting the house and going to the shop, our obligations simply require more work when we consider an extra pair of arms and legs we need to be aware of all the time. And it's like they are doing it on purpose.

Children are inherently inquisitive. They like learning new things and exploring their surroundings.

And they love to test boundaries (our patience). Oh, how they love to do that.

Especially at the beginning. As a result, it's critical to provide opportunities for children to satiate their thirst for new experiences - but not at our expense.

There is a war going on, people, and they are winning. Have you stopped counting the times they were being plain unreasonable? Have you stopped counting the times you gave up and let them win?

Of course, you have:). It is called being a parent.

People share their experiences with unreasonable kids and we are showcasing some of the most interesting. Take a look, maybe you will recognize your child:

Adults frequently undervalue how intelligent, receptive, and understanding children are. These little thinkers occasionally astound us with their unique perspectives on the world.

Unfortunately, sometimes, it is just too unique... But that's what makes parenting fun.

On the upside, no matter how upset you are when they are doing it, just remember that they are providing you with excellent stories to tell when they bring their boyfriend or girlfriend to meet you.
