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

My little boy is only small, when he was a few days old his auntie and uncle came to see him for the first time. We went to change is nappy and he chose that moment to do an explosive poo which went all down the sofa and all over my brand new "I've just pushed out a baby" slippers. Was like a carry on film!

When my two year old told me the other day that he was “moving out” whilst packing his Iggle piggle bag and when questioned on where he planned on going he exclaimed it was a “mystery” .

My son who is 3, and his grandma (who was visiting from Australia so he dosent see her often) were baking biscuits. She went to get her glasses so she could read the recipe. My son figured they are required for baking so went to get his sunglasses.

at the local sea life centre shouting "look mam that fish has testicles" instead of tentacles, I was mortified!

My eldest 2 1/2 year old was told they where going to have a little sister. I asked them is they had any name suggestions. He though and pondered then came out with "Tiger Piggy" . Tiger and Piggy where the names of his comforters, I asked him if he had a different suggestion. another minute passed. Yes.... "Piggy Tiger"

It's more a case of our little ones repeating ANYTHING we say, no matter who it's in front of and boy do they have long memories. Has caused us some very redfaced moments.

my own child is still a little young for very funny moments but I sure look forward to seeing them

Apparently a common one amongst kids but it was still embarrassing at the cinema the first time DD asked loudly and insistently for COCK PORN MUMMY COCK PORN PEASE?

I once asked my 2yr old DD what she thought you do with a trumpet.
“You blow in it.”
“That’s right. And what do you do with a drum?”
“You bang it.”
“Very good. And what do you do with a tambourine?”
...Puzzled frown...
“Do you know what a tambourine is?”
“Yes, its an orange...”

Mummy..... smell my finger.....

Once my DD cheerfully announced that I often park in disabled car park spaces (she overheard my friends and I talking about the difficulties of parking family size cars).

She had got mixed up between disabled and parent and child spaces so I had to quickly explain myself!

mine was when i was in the bathroom, phone rang and my daughter answered the phone and she said no mummy cant come to the phone now she is having a smelly poo!

DS was having his two year check with the new health visitor. He was close to finishing a rather impressive feat of engineering with the building blocks and I was feeling exceptionally smug, waiting for her to tell me at any moment that he was clearly going to be some sort of child genius. As he reached for the last block, he caught the tower with his arm and the whole thing toppled. "Oh bugger," he said. The worst of it was, the HV didn't react in any way - she just wrote something down on her notepad. I nearly died of shame.

Same DS was with me waiting outside the cathedral for older DS (who was a chorister at the time) to finish singing at a special service. The Archbishop of Canterbury walked by us in full gold regalia and DS piped up, "Look mummy! That lady got a yellow hat like me!"

This morning, my youngest dd, aged 4 wanted a sweet even before she had breakfast. I said no and got busy sorting out packed lunches and her elder two sisters. I walked into the living room and couldn't stop myself laughing out loud when I caught her looking out at me with a stroppy face sat in a cardboard box, and arms folded. She'd found a nice place to sulk! Wish I'd had my phone on me to take a picture...

(The box was from a parcel I'd received a couple days earlier but the kids seemed to have fun playing with it so I'd left it)

God I've got it all to come - baby is only 3 months old and worst we've had are some very audible farts in public!

Busy swimming pool changing rooms, 2 year old asking why I has string coming out of my bottom! ... It was a tampon 😳

Baby's initial stools tend to be runny didn't realise just how much until a nappy change my son decided to paint our bed all yellow only took my eye off him for a few seconds it treacled all the way down the sides of the divan bed 5 yrs on u can still see the stain if u look close enough

We were on the bus and My DD saw a lady with a fur spotted coat on like 101 dalmations cruella De Vil and shouted mummy it’s the evil woman from 101 dalmations I don’t like her she’s naughty cause she likes to hurt puppies, luckily the woman saw the funny side when she realised her coat was like cruellas off 101 dalmations ,when I said to my DD it wasn’t her she didn’t believe me and kept glaring at the woman Even when we got off which was a few stops early due to embarrassment and my DD making the woman uncomfortable

'why are there so many rabbis?' during a Jewish bank holiday at legoland!

When DS was a tiny toddler, he fell over outside. I helped him up expecting tears, but he just sighed and said "oh mummy, I dropped myself".

My 1 year old is car obsessed. He knows that cars go fast but can't say 'fast car' very well, it comes out as 'f**ker'. We had a very embarrassing bus journey with him shouting f'ker at the top of his voice and me pointing out that yes, it is fast car several several times

On my 6 year olds first day in reception. We were nearly at school, when my very exited daughter decided to turn around and swing around a a bar for flats that were being built, obviously unable to read she missed the 'wet paint' sign.
Before I could stop her she was smothered in bright red paint, hands, summer dress, hair.
My only option was to run her into the school bathroom to clean her and change her clothes, luckily we had a spare set.
As we left the bathroom her head teacher was walking past and asked if we were ok, her reply was... 'mummy was washing and dressing me, we don't have a bathroom'.
So embarrassing. The picture makes me laugh so much!!

My three year old made me laugh the other day when she regaled me with a story about how she was sitting on daddy’s knee and “daddy farted. Poooey it stunk! I could smell it and it Was GROSS! Smelly farty bum bum”

I have a mole on my face, and my nephew often tells me it's a spot. He went up to a stranger, and said, oh you've got a big spot, just like Auntie XX. We do try to correct him!
