Many of us know just how challenging it is to raise kids. Not only do you have to juggle cooking and household chores with an actual job, but you also have to be an entertainer, help with homework, and learn to make idle chitchat with the other grownups at the playground. In short, parenting is a rollercoaster ride, and one way or another, you must embrace the ups, downs, and loop-de-loops.
Here’s the thing, though, children can be unintentionally savage with their comments. Redditor u/beardlesshipster sparked an online discussion when they asked people what their kids have done that hurt their feelings without them realizing it. You’ll find the most interesting stories—both serious and slightly silly—as you scroll down.
We wanted to find out how some parents react to their kids' stinging comments, so we reached out to parenting blogger Samantha Scroggin, the founder of 'Walking Outside in Slippers.' She shared her thoughts with Bored Panda on both accidentally mean comments and intentionally rude ones, too. Check out what she told us below!

My adult kids say "old" whenever I send them a meme I think is funny. It just makes me feel bad for some reason.

One time my kids played iSpy, and said "something yellow". It was my teeth.

My daughter hurts my feelings BAD in just one situation: I'll say "I love you!" and she'll reply with, "No daddy, I DON'T love you."
She is only 2 though, and I don't think she has a firm grasp on what love really is, and I think she's truthfully just showing off her vocabulary skills, but it still hurts...

When I drop them off at a party or day camp and I go to say bye, they've already gone off with friends. Kids are getting older now so it's not cool to kiss or hug dad goodbye, but man it stings, and I sure dont want to emberass them so I just sadly walk to my car.

Every time they say that their dads new wife cooks better food than me.
Well someday they will appreciate real food...

As a stepfather, hearing the phrase "you're not my father"
Secondly, being ignored on Father's Day

My 4.5 yr old daughter screaming "I HATE YOU AND I DONT WANT YOU AS MY FATHER ANYMORE" during a tantrum, or after I discipline her. She has no idea what she's saying, and she doesn't mean it, but it still stings every time. Basically toddler cussing.

Fight, where they really try to hurt each other. I had no idea as a kid how bad it is for the parent. The first time it happened when they were very small, it felt like watching cannibalism, just horrifying. And to think I used to worry about the dog.

Ah, last year my wife spent the whole summer making it as great as she could for our, then 6 year old, holidays, theme parks, everything she could. They did loads together. Got a phone call at work from wife crying/furious. At the end of it going back to school, she'd asked what she had enjoyed most. "The day trip to London", only problem was that was with me, at Easter.
Still it was an absolutely awesome day.

Ask me every morning if I'll even try to smell good that day.
