Being a parent is a lifetime commitment, and for some, that means holding onto the memories of their children’s youth for as long as possible. Some parents never let go of the idea that their kids are still little ones, even as they grow up and start families of their own.
These funny parents have a unique perspective on parenting, and their stories and anecdotes are sure to bring a smile to your face. In this post, we’ll take a look at some of the funniest examples of parents who will always see their children as little kids.
Get ready for some laughs and heartwarming moments as we explore the world of parents who never want to let go of their babies.
1. My mom remembered I don’t have room in my place for a Christmas tree, so she made me this wreath with built-in lights and all the ornaments from when I was a kid.
I’m an adult, I live with my parents because I could not afford to move out until now (I got my degree 6 years ago, then started a PhD, and now I’m completing a specialization course in oral surgery). I got a wonderful girlfriend and I deeply love my parents, but due to being a bit too quiet and introvert at home, I do not tell them how much I appreciate and admire their hard work to raise me as much as I should. Today I came back from the hospital where I work and found this little gem waiting for me in my room. Yesterday was my birthday and this is a gift I won’t forget, maybe it’s not much for you, but it’s everything to me knowing that my mom is behind it with all of her heart.
3. Always asked for a skateboard as a kid. My parents said not until I’m 35. Today they delivered.
11. This year I am going to miss my yearly family Easter egg hunt and dinner because I am away from home training to be a flight attendant. My mom sent me this care package. (The eggs had cash in them)
14. Got a cryptic text from Mom today to look at my porch. My siblings and I are all adults now, but still mom NEVER misses Easter. Not when we were all in college, not when I was working on the other side of the country for a few years, and certainly not during a global pandemic. Love you Mom ❤️
16. My mom got me Super Mario Sheets for Christmas. I’m 22 and have been living in my own apartment for 4 years, so I looked confused and disappointed. She said “What? It’s not like anyone else is going to see your sheets” and now I don’t know if that was ignorance, an insult or innocence…
