I hope you will enjoy the read, as much as I enjoyed realizing my failures as a parent. Lol. Great initiative @keciah!
Thanks for sharing, @yadah04! None of us are perfect parents, so I am glad you overcome your worry and decided to share. :)
I was a little hesitant about making a post that showcases how I failed at being a parent, but I did. Enjoy!! :)

@khackett ugh I would not say that I am a bad parent, just more of a DAMN IT moment.
Confirming your entry. Thank you!!
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #34. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
@moneyinfant, here's a contest to add to your list.
Thanks @markrmorrisjr! It really helps to have other eyes out there finding these contests.
Just a beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. Us little fish got to stick together, or we end up in the soup. LOL
Thank yo so much for helping me spread the word, @markrmorrisjr!!
of course
Ohhh I will have my community @steemitfamilyph join this contest

STOPI love contests, and I am a parent so I will think back and come up with one for this contest for sure. Deciding which one is best of mine might be a difficult decision though.
Awesome, I can't wait to read your entry, @sultnpapper!
My kids tell me that I have so many it may take to long to decide and the contest will be over, They have offered to help me narrow it down tonight.
Ok, I have the perfect one for this. When's the deadline?
never mind, found it.
It's March 6. I can't wait to read your entry, @gabyoraa!
oh my, im curious of the stories that come out. I know there has to be some really good ones, and really bad ones lol. I'm gonna ask my wife about which fail could be the funniest. Parenting is so wonderful, theres ups, theres downs. Nothing like looking at your beautiful baby smile.
My son fell off from my arms, because my wife frightened me.
Thanks for sharing, @sciack! If you'd like to enter, please write a full post about the #parentingfail and link to it here in the comments. :)
Writing this and digging up the pictures was quite a walk down memory lane! Thanks Keciah!

This is an awesome idea! I think sometimes failing can be the greatest thing you can do. We put so much pressure to be perfect so when we fail the stress just gets out. We can laugh it out if we fail humorously or cry it out if we fail miserably. Or sometimes both. Even tho I'm late for the challenge I'm glad I found your page. Looking forward to following you.
I'm definitely late for the challenge but I'm glad I came across your post. I'm relatively new to steemit and had no idea there was much of a parenting community on here!
