Instagram user Elkey Zandstra recently shared a series of clips in which she showcased how her husband, William, became a master of “horizontal parenting.” For those unfamiliar with the term, horizontal parenting refers to situations in which parents are able to remain engaged with their kids while lying down.

William decided to take horizontal parenting to a whole new level, coming up with all sorts of games that would allow his kids to have fun and give him the opportunity to snooze or simply recharge by doing nothing.

One of those games saw William turn himself into an Operation board game. He made a cardboard copy of the human body, created various organs, and then cut the holes in the cardboard where the organs should go. He then got himself comfortable on the floor, placed the cardboard on top of himself, and instructed the kids to try and place organs in their right place. He would occasionally complain if they made mistakes.

Besides this “advanced” version of horizontal parenting, William also turned himself into a toy that produced animal sounds, served as a coffee table, and acted as a surface for the zen garden.

In a clip shared by @weareregularmums, a dad is seen sitting in some sort of a classroom and paying attention to the lecture. At the same time, he is rocking a baby stroller beside him. However, there is just one problem: the stroller is empty.

As it turns out, the dad forgot all about handing over the baby to the mother, who is in the back and filming the whole thing, just five minutes before.

“POV: You are a dad and you know if you stop moving the baby will wake up,” it says in the text displayed in the video.

The clip, which received more than two million views, left internet users in stitches. It also prompted other parents to share similar situations.

“I would instinctively pat my partners back when we would hug because I was so used to comforting and burping my kids,” one TikTok user wrote.

“as a single father, I can attest to this. it becomes a habit even if the baby is being held by a friend or family member. I’ve caught myself bouncing or rocking stuffed animals or a bag of flour,” another added.

In a clip shared by @aliceinkinzland, a toddler can be seen sleeping alongside his mom on the couch. However, as soon as the beats of the hit song “I Like to Move It” start playing, the kid immediately gets up and starts dancing.

“Literally full comatose and all it takes is his jam and hes ready to roll,” @aliceinkinzland wrote in the caption of the video.

The video ended up getting 5.4 million views since being shared earlier in May while also receiving close to 1K comments. Other TikTok users seemed impressed with the toddler’s passion for music.

“his body started moving before he even woke up LMAO,” one person commented.

“He likes to move it move it,” another added.

Replying to some of the comments, @aliceinkinzland shared that the toddler is “obsessed with music.” This is a great thing, because studies have shown that music prompts toddlers to move and helps them develop fine motor skills and coordination while also improving their mood.

This is why two neighborhood dads came up with a genius way to efficiently parent their kids while playing without all the added stress and hard work. Their idea was showcased in a recent viral video shared on TikTok by user Kristy Dorn.

The dads decided to install themselves a “chill” zone on the patio, relaxing in chairs while having a full overview of the backyard where their kids are playing. They also set up a karaoke machine, which allows them to talk to kids and get their message across without straining their voices. As a bonus, they also performed songs to keep the atmosphere lively.

“The neighborhood dads unlock a whole new parenting style,” it says in the text attached to the video, which got 2.3 million views already.

The social media users loved the idea and praised the dads for their creativity.

“I’m kinda impressed! I get tired of yelling,” one user wrote in the comments section.

“As a very tired toddler mom, I need to adopt this method,” another added.

During a recent appearance on TODAY, Fallon revealed that his nine-year-old daughter Frances pranked him for April Fool’s Day by slapping him with a plate full of whipped cream. And now, he is looking for “revenge.”

According to Fallon, who also has a 10-year-old daughter named Winnie with wife Nancy Juvonen, it all started when he got home on April 1st. His daughters told him to put on a T-shirt that he doesn’t mind getting “messy.”

“She comes across with a paper plate full of whip cream, and slaps me hard across the face. I mean, the real wallop, and then whip cream all over my face, all over the walls. Nothing on the T-shirt, of course,” Fallon recalled.

After the incident, Fallon promised his daughter that he’ll spend the next year plotting how to get back at her.

“I go, ‘That’s terrible what you just did.’ I go, ‘I’m going to get you back,’” Fallon shared. “‘I’m going to take a year of my life, and I’m going to really get you back.’”

Fallon also revealed that Frances was initially unfazed when he “threatened” to put snakes in her bed as retribution before admitting that they scare her.

“Don’t mess with me, man. You think I care? You hit me in the face with whip cream pie. No, I’m going to get you back,” he added.

In a funny video recently shared on TikTok, content creator Aaron Ennis can be seen accompanying his daughter while she looks for a perfect prom dress. Ennis explains that he wants to make sure his daughter gets something “with some class.“

Ennis then goes on to recommend a number of dresses, including one in the style of legendary singer Tina Turner, but none of them are to his daughter’s liking.

Once his daughter finds the dress she likes, Ennis is taken aback by its price of $300.   

“If I get this dress, you’re wearing this dress for the prom, Easter, going to get gas. Everywhere! If you have a job interview, you’re wearing this dress, “Ennis tells his daughter before asking her when she plans to get a job.

The video ended up going viral and amusing millions of social media users. Other parents praised Ennis for accompanying his daughter while also warning him that this was just the beginning of his troubles.

“Lmaooo we need more dads like this,” one TikToker wrote in the comments section.

“Just wait until you have to go wedding dress shopping with her….that $300 is 10x more ….poor daddy, you might not survive that purchase,” another added.

Even after leaving their home to attend college, kids still depend on their parents, and we are not talking just about money. They also turn to them when their life presents them with a situation they haven’t encountered before.

TikTok user The Leighton Show recently posted a series of videos in which parents shared all sorts of unusual questions their college kids asked them. And they are comedy gold.

For example, one parent shared that their kid sent them a text message to ask for their shoe size.

Another college kid asked their parent how to take the clothes out of the washing machine.

The Leighton Show managed to put together several video compilations of these funny questions, and each is better than the next one. One college freshman wanted to know “if Italian was a language”, while one mom received a call from her college daughter who wanted to know how she makes pancakes round.

So, don’t feel too bad about your kids leaving for college. As you can see from these videos, they might live away from home, but they still need their parents.

TikTok user Alex Serraes recently posted a clip in which she captured a hilarious reaction of her 20-month-old son Benjamin when he realized that he is no longer the youngest member of the family.

The video shows Benjamin getting introduced to his newborn brother Theo at a hospital. At first, Benjamin looks curious about the baby. However, once he realizes how his life is going to change with Theo’s arrival, he quickly pushes him away.

“When you’re just not ready to give up being the youngest yet,” Serraes wrote in the caption of the video.

The clip of Benjamin and Theo became a hit on social media, getting more than two million views and thousands of comments since being posted back in July. Other TikTok users seemed very amused with Benjamin’s reaction. Some of them even used the opportunity to crack a few funny jokes about the whole situation.

“He’s like, hard pass,” one user wrote.

“Return to sender,” another one wrote.

In the clip, Terry decided to play a harmless prank on his six-year-old daughter, Abby, by having her sit alongside him during a fake job interview. He starts sharing some background about himself, saying things that Abby obviously knows are not true.

“I dress like this every day,” Andrew says while wearing a suit. “I get up at 4 a.m. Every morning, I go for a run — and I run for about 12 miles.” 

At this point, Abby is confused but trying to go along with her dad’s story. However, once Terry starts talking about how he cleans the house after his morning runs, the little girl can’t take it anymore.

“CUT!” Abby yells at one point.”That’s not true, that’s not true.”

Despite her dad’s best efforts to have her go along with the story, Abby doesn’t manage to get through the entire “interview.” She protests Terry’s lies, like one that about his healthy diet, before walking away once he starts talking about how he played for the New York Yankees.

The hilarious video became a hit on social media and ended up getting more than nine million views since being posted.
