Even if you’re not a parent yourself, try imagining yourself in their shoes.
A new hashtag’s trending in the Japanese Twitterverse: #育児なんてほんの一瞬目を離したらこう, which loosely translates to “This is what happens when you take your eyes off them for even a second.” You can probably guess that the tag is referring to the joys of child-rearing, and the daily struggles that parents face trying to keep their little ones out of trouble.
We’ve gathered some of our favorite tweets of the little troublemakers and their mischief below. Enjoy the scenes from the safety of your screens!
