Funny Parenting Tips:
Erma Bombeck Quotes
Erma Bombeck's syndicated newspaper column started many a day with a giggle. Her ability to laugh at herself (albeit often on the negative side!) reminds us not to take ourselves so seriously. She passed on in 1996 but leaves a legacy of humour, particularly about being a housewife that is second to none. Heres a tiny selection of some of her funniest parenting tips or witty words of wisdom about the futility of housework!
- Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop-offs at tedium and counter-productivity.
- I'm trying very hard to understand this generation. They have adjusted the timetable for childbearing so that menopause and teaching a sixteen-year-old how to drive a car will occur in the same week.
- My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?
- Why would anyone steal a shopping cart? It's like stealing a two-year-old.
- No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.
- One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.
- Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.
- My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first one being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
- When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.
- In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced on television. (This one made me laugh out loud for a while)
Funny Parenting Tips:
Phyllis Diller is probably best known for her distinctive laugh - or rather cackle! As one of the pioneers of stand up comedy, her comic portrayal of a housewife was full of one liners about children and her husband Fang.
Phyllis Diller Quotes- I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them.
- Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
- Be nice to your children, for they will choose your rest home.
- Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.
- We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up
- Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?
Funny parenting Tips:
P.J. O'Rourke Quotes
- Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly.
- The real truth about children is they don't speak the language very well. They're physically uncoordinated. And they are ignorant of our elaborate ideas about right and wrong.
- I am no stranger to loud noise. I've been to a Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels concert. I once dated a woman with two kids.
- Everybody wants to save the earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.
- Anything that makes your mother cry is fun.
- (You've got to try this!) Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud snorting noises. I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time.

Funny Parenting Tips by Brad Phillips
Sure-fire Ways To Embarrass Your Children - Drop them off directly in front of their school. Make them give you a kiss. Wave good-bye vigorously and blow kisses.
- Hang a naked baby picture of your children in a prominent location in your living room. Be sure to point it out to company. My parents accomplished approximately the same purpose with my third-grade Cub Scout picture.
- Make them dress up in a shirt and tie for school picture day. Style their hair yourself. Use enough gel to allow their hair to withstand hurricane force winds.
- During long road trips suggest a family sing along. Insist that all of the songs be ones that are extremely popular with three-year olds.
- Beat your child to the punch by getting a navel piercing or a tattoo before they do. Show your new body art to all of your children's friends.
- Force your children to do violin, piano, or vocal solos whenever grandparents, neighbors, or casual acquaintances wander into the house. Clap loudly at the end.
- Barge into Supercuts while your child is getting their hair cut. Demand to speak to the stylist. Confirm that the haircut will be within the firmly established parameters for proper 1950's grooming habits (even though it happens to be several decades later). It has taken many years of counseling for me to recover from that embarrassment. I can't wait to do it to my own kids.
