Hypocritical Parent Moments (Humor)

By: Jason Milton

Remember that moment when you realized you were a perfect role model for your children at all times?

Yeah, me neither. 

So instead, here are a few examples of how much of a hypocritical parent I can be. And for bonus points…as a husband too. 

1. Kids’ lives are so easy…

Hypocritical parent photo example 1. Shows a man texting in a car. The photo quotes read, "Me: Kids these days are so lazy. They have no idea how easy they have it. Also me: Gets a flat tire. Tells Siri to open Door Dash app. Has food delivered to my car while I wait for AAA to arrive.

2. Now THAT is music!

A man singing in an elevator. The photo quotes read, "Me: The music kids listen to today is awful. no wonder this generation is os angry all the time. Also me: Can't help but sing Backstreet Boys' "I want it that way" when the tune plays in the elevator.

3. How about sitting in the same room together?

A man sitting on the couch eating potato chips. The photo quotes read, "Me: Get your face out of that screen and have some actual human interaction. Also me: Can we meet over Zoom instead? I'm working from home. Also, my camera is broken, so only audio for me.

4. Not just a hypocritical parent…a hypocritical spouse too!

5. And a great example from a Facebook post
