"It's too quiet, what are they up to?": 18 children who have tested their parents' patience

Children are a parent's greatest joy, but also a limitless source of worry. Have you ever perceived that strange silence in the house, despite your 3 or 4 year old son wandering freely somewhere? It is always said, jokingly, that when there is too much quiet it's probably because the children are doing something absolutely forbidden by their parents. It's certainly good to keep an eye on the little ones at all times and make sure to keep them away from any source of possible danger. However, it can happen that you get distracted for a few minutes and discover that your child has just destroyed a vase or torn up every roll of toilet paper in the house. In short, the little disasters that children can cause every day when they are not supervised are all too many and apart from causing us a little frustration, they also make us smile!

When one of your children asks you to play together, you have to say yes. Whether it's a make-up session or a fashion show, it's your duty to lend yourself to this type of experiment. With the right amount of patience, you will see, it can be fun!

Children love to dress up and put themselves in other people's shoes, especially their parents. How many times do they ask you to try on your shoes? And how many times do they steal your clothes or make-up, or even your underwear?

It doesn't take much to get distracted and that can be when children get involved in something dangerous. In this case, the Reddit user posted a photo taken by a colleague: "he found this in his son's room". Where did he get those thumbtacks? Laughing aside, he created a miniature weapon ...
