    Parenting is hard. One mom started Kids Are The Worst on Instagram to document the struggle.

    "Sometimes they are such stinkers," creator Anna Macfarlane, 36, told BuzzFeed News. "It’s OK to laugh about it. You’re not a bad parent."

    The mother of four from Salt Lake City started posting the photos after "Kids are the worst" became a common refrain among her friends.

    "It’s a fun community when people pull out their phone and their camera instead of helping their kid right away so we call all enjoy those moments together," Macfarlane said, laughing.

    You can't leave them in the kitchen.

    Or get them to help with chores.

    Or take them to the store.

    Even if it's to buy their food.

    Forget about teaching them manners.

    They shouldn't be handling your money.

    But kids aren't the only ones who get in trouble. Macfarlane wants the world to know dogs are also the worst.

    Can't take them anywhere.
