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.
2. Came home and found this. I love my mom.
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.
4. Thanks, dad.
5. This is what happens when I leave my 90 year-old mother alone in the kitchen for ten minutes.
6. Check out the scarf my mom made for me. I love you, mom!
7. My husband is a full grown mining engineer. His mom got him this as a gift. It took him a night to build it and he won’t share it with the kids.
8. I’m a teacher in Canada, my mom made me this scarf to keep me warm.
9. Some moms never think it’s too late for baby pics.
10. My mother made me the 2 year old outfit and the 39 year old outfit.
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)
12. My mom made me this blanket for Christmas. Shes awesome with her hands.
13. I’m 21 and my dad still makes me an advent calendar every year with my favorite candies. Thanks dad.
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 ❤️
15. Every year on my birthday my dad lays out my childhood toys “The Guys” and it makes him so excited.
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…
17. Christmas present from my parents for my 25 year old ass. I built it in under 2 days and had a blast.
18. This 58-yo dad still dyeing eggs even though all the kids have left the nest.
