Rich dad was more hands - on in teaching financial independence. He used practical examples like buying and selling properties to teach his kids how to build wealth. Poor dad was more concerned with instilling values related to getting good grades and climbing the corporate ladder, with less focus on financial acumen.
Well, there was this family where the dad was doing the bedtime story. He was so tired that he started mixing up all the fairy tales. So it became a story about Cinderella going to fight dragons with Snow White. The kids were laughing non - stop.
A mother was reading a bedtime story to her son. In the middle of the story, the son suddenly said, 'Mom, the bear in the story has a funnier voice in my head.' And he started making a really goofy voice for the bear. It was so unexpected and funny.
I remember a story where a parent was trying to teach their kid to ride a bike. Instead of holding the bike steady, the parent let go too soon and the kid crashed into a bush. The parent was so busy laughing that they forgot to check if the kid was okay at first. Luckily, the kid was just a bit scratched and more shocked than anything.
My cousin had a situation where his parents were always misplacing his school things. One day, they accidentally threw away his science project that he had been working on for weeks. When he found out, his parents just shrugged and said they thought it was trash. It was really funny in a way, but also a bit frustrating for my cousin.
Often, it's about parents not being fully aware of what their kids are doing. I heard of a story where a dad thought his son was doing homework when in fact the son was building a huge fort out of all the living room furniture. When the dad finally noticed, he was so shocked that he just stared for a while before laughing. Another element could be parents' attempts at discipline that go wrong. A mom might try to ground her daughter but forgets about it after a few hours and then wonders why the daughter isn't taking it seriously.
One common element is miscommunication. For example, a dad might think his son wants a certain toy for Christmas but actually the son just liked the color of the box it came in. Another element is over - confidence. Parents often think they can handle situations easily, like the mom who thought she could give her baby a haircut at home but ended up with a very lopsided cut. Also, unexpected reactions from kids play a big role. When a parent tries to make their kid laugh with a joke but the kid cries instead, it can be a really funny parenting fail.
Sure. One story is about a parent who tried to potty - train their toddler. They put the potty in the living room for easy access. But one day, the toddler decided to use it as a hat instead. It was hilarious and messy at the same time.
Well, here's a story. A dad was dressing his son for school. He put on the shirt backwards. When the son got to school, his teacher asked him what was wrong with his shirt. The son just said, 'My dad dressed me this morning.' The dad was so embarrassed when he found out.
Sure. One time, my friend was trying to potty - train her toddler. She put a little potty in the living room. Her toddler thought it was a new toy and put his teddy bear on it. Then he sat on the teddy bear and said 'Bear go potty!' It was hilarious.
