What are your most difficult scenarios while parenting?

A warm hello to everyone,

i'm @dissi aka BlackButterfly666 and i'm a proud parent of a wonderful son since the end of 2023 :)

So as you might calculate he is still very young and has a lot to learn, best from his parents - but it's not so easy ;)

But first things first: my beautiful son is really, really easy to keep, fortunately. Sure, sometimes it's a bit exhausting, like when he wants to climb over our sofa, which he shouldn't do. You take him down and instantly he climbs back on top... But most of the time he is very easy to handle, he doesn't cry much, mostly when he hurts himself, or when he didn't get something he really wants at the moment but shouldn't have, like our vacuumcleaner^^ But after some hearty kisses or giving him something else to play he is ready to go! So we are very lucky with him :)

But when he is so easy, what's about the title? Do you even have some difficulties?

For me the most difficult thing is to not to laugh in inappropiate scenarios, like when he does something he shouldn't do that way.

Once we were at the chinese restaurant and they have an aquarium there. Two younglings stood in front of it and my little fella wanted to watch the fish too. So what did he do? He went to the aquarium, and pushed the others (both a head taller than him) out of the way, with his hands streched forward and then to the side. And yeah, it really looked hillarious to watch this scene, so i was standing there laughing, instead of telling him to not do it that way. Please don't get me wrong, nobody was hurt, the other both looked confused at him and didn't know what to do, so i decided to laugh. Else i would've told something ;)

Or once we were on holidays in the dining room and he throwed his food. My girlfriend told him to stop, he looked silly, waited a moment and throwed it again. And that short moment he waited and looked at her, only to throw his food again got me laughing. But i tried to hide it a bit, so he doesn't see it.

For me that's really the hardest part of parenting, because if he does something funny he shouldn't do and i'm laughing, he thinks it's good to do this. Fortunately his mother is more mature than me ;)

But now i'm curious about you: What are the most difficults scenarios you had to face with your child(ren)? Tell me a bit ;)

Sincerely,
BlackButterfly666
