Share your funniest parenting moments with Arla Big Milk - £300 voucher to win! NOW CLOSED

[EllieMumsnet]

It’s no secret that children of all ages - from babies to teenagers - can do and say some hilarious things, (whether they mean to or not!) But sometimes it’s parents that have their own hilarious moments and it may be children’s reactions that make it even more humorous. With that in mind Arla Big Milk want to know some of your funniest parenting moments!

Have you ever had to quickly cover for your child’s unfiltered comments whilst out in public? Perhaps you’ve turned your back for one minute at dinner time and come back to find your child has decided to put the food over their head rather than in their mouth? Or maybe you’ve had to tell them off for something that is in fact hilarious and you just can’t keep a straight face?

Whatever your funny parenting moments, share on the below thread to be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

When my daughter was 2 she decided to put some mixed dried fruit up her nose (only discovered when I turned round to see her trying to stick more stuff up there). After fiddling around with a torch and calling 111, we ended up being sent to A&E!! Thankfully we were shown the trick of holding the other nostril shut and blowing into her mouth - cue dried orange peel shooting across the room and nearly hitting the nurse. Happy days!

In the back of a cab once when my DD2 was about 4. She was staring at the driver for ages and proceeded to say in her loudest voice "mum look at the big hairy spot on the man's face" I was completely mortified. It wasn't a spot at all but a big mole. Also it was a lady cab driver and not a man.......

On a bus, sat opposite a heavily pregnant lady, my son said, 'someone's been eating too many sweeties'

my daughter has ALWAYS hated public toilets. once with no choice we went in and i took her withh me. whilst on the loo, my daughter histerically starts shouting mummy the lady in the next loo is having a popp god it smells so bad please get me out of here i cannot breathe. i wa mortified, i waited a few mins hopingn she had gone but no, ewe both opened our doors at the same time i was moritifed!

have so many to pick from

Every year my mil says she’s 21 again on her birthday, we visited on her birthday just passed and my ds (7) said ‘nanny I know how old you are, you’re 22, I know because I remember you were 21 last year’ we all laughed at his comment and she couldn’t argue with that! I was surprised he would have remembered that

my son was getting carried on my shoulders, when he filled his nappy and kept filling it. it burst all over my shoulders.

This is kind of funny and cringeworthy my then 8 year old son went to a kiosk at the seaside and asked for a bag of donuts, the cashier who was about 18 said they could not serve him because of they were unable to work out the change, something had broken. My son then proceeded to give the person a maths lesson explaining exactly how much change the donuts were and how much change should be given. I didn't know whether to tell him off or be proud of him, it was totally innocent.

My GS announced to Aunty B “Did you know daddy says you’ve got an ENORMOUS bottom?”

All the family were gathered waiting to go to a family wedding. My son who was 6 & feeling very smart in his suit, turned to My Brother-in-Laws girlfriend & said, so when are you going to put your smart clothes on? Of course, she thought she was already wearing her smart clothes, but he really wasn't wrong in thinking she should get changed! I was mortified!

It was father's day and my son was not impressed. He asked "we've had mothers day,now its fathers day . When's it sons day ?

I took my son to a friend of a friends house who was very well to do. As we were standing talking in the kitchen my son was amusing himself. Too late I turned to notice him open the fridge door take out several eggs and drop them on the kitchen floor then sit down and smear them around with his hands. I was horrified and the woman I was talking to was not too amused either!

i was 9 months pregnant with my second baby. whilst i was having a bath my four year old wandered into the bathroom and started asking questions about my bump. i told her her baby brother would come out of my tummy very soon and she said " look mummy, he's coming now, i can see his head". she thought my pubic hair was the baby's head.

This happens all the time with my little girl. i took her into M&S loo and there was a lady in the next cubical. My daughter said in a very loud voice "who is that ?" I said "i don't know just a lady" i tried to distract up before she said anything else. BUT "Is that lady having a wee wee ? "yes i expect so come on sweety hurry Up mummy needs to go" i said. Oh mummy whats that smell I think that lady is having a phoo!! I broke all track records to leave the loo falling over the buggy in the process and leaving with out using it my self. Five mins late in the cafe he leaned over and said oh look mummy that man has a baby in his tummy like you or is he just fat like daddy. I promptly chocked on my coffee.

I was never quick enough to come up with anything to save the day when my son came out with embarrassing things in the supermarket. I can remember several occasions being left open mouthed and red faced and just with no come back! haha! The best thing he ever said was that my boyfriend should be locked up in a women's institute. I have no idea where he'd heard "women's institute" and it was so gobsmackingly funny and rediculous!

Once my girl was being rebellious and refused to sit next to me on the bus. She sat next to someone else and after a few minutes came and sat next to me, saying loudly 'that lady smells'. I think everyone heard and I was so embarrassed but had an attack of the giggles

At a recent trip to Bultins, my daughter shook a ketchup bottle that didn't have the lid on properly. The tables in the restaurant were very close together, and unfortunately the ketchup sprayed onto the trousers of the gentleman sitting on the next table. I was mortified, he was furious, daughter was giggling! It was an accident, but cost me to have the guys trousers laundered!

When my son was 3 we were shopping in co-op when we came across a lady with bright purple hair. My son said "Mum that lady has purple hair" . Obviously the lady wasn't bothered or she wouldn't have been walking round with hair that colour. I was embarrassed. So quickly replied " What a lovely colour".

My daughter doesn't talk yet but my god, she comes out with some almightly farts in public. Even worse is that people turn around and think it's me! Ha ha

We were in the changing rooms in a clothes shop when ours suddenly said " I think you should tell that lady that the dress she's trying on looks horrible on her". Let's just say we got out of there pretty quickly.

While waiting in line to get her to see Muana I was giving my 3 -year-old son some pieces of popcorn one at a time as a snack. When we were watching the opening credit of the movie I must have been a little slow handing out the goodies and he shouted “MORE COCKPORN MUMMY” at the top of his voice. Earth swallow me up now....others around me saw the funny side.

Like most boys my son does a lot of toilet talk, they find it so funny unfortunately his favourite one at the moment is saying that his mummy has a hairy bottom! very embarrassing.

My 6 year old still constantly misuses he and she, him and her and even man and lady. Just this morning a female member of staff in Asda sent a trolley down from the cafe in the lift and then started to take the stairs herself. Lucas pipes up very loudly “Why has that man put an empty trolley in the lift, that’s silly!”

DS couldn't pronounce dip stick (i.e dad's just being a dipstick ignore him), and grew up saying 'dicks lick". Oh Lordy
