There are a lot of parents out there who love to revel in their ingenuity when it comes to keeping their little ones on the straight and narrow!
So, from parents who used truly bizarre threats to get their children to clean up after themselves to parents who invented strange paraphernalia to keep their children civil, here are 19+ people who got creative with their parenting!
This is actually incredibly sweet, and I am sure that deep down he is actually made up that his mother does this!
Who says that you can't be a successful athlete while having a child strapped to your front?!
The individual who posted this explained, "Thinking of having a baby? On the left is a picture of my Nonna enjoying Venice before she had kids. On the right is a picture in the same location a few years later where she is desperately trying to stop my toddler-aged father from publicly executing a pigeon."
I love that, even in his hungover state, he managed to add the little "registered" mark next to the Happy Meal. Now that is attention to detail!
The toddler has now claimed the house, all that is left is this single stronghold to provide peace for the parent. It's a tale as old as time.

I don't know what they have been teaching this little girl about Disney as a company, but she's clearly not a fan!
I can imagine that this spurred quite a serious chat between this mother and their offspring!
I wonder if they will be docking her pay for this! I mean, I am assuming that she is working there!
At first, I could not see this totalling that much, but this person went on to say that there was $415 in there! How much money have I been washing all these years?!
This millipede's parents don't seem particularly bothered. You would have thought that they would have at least put his picture on milk cartons!
I like this restaurant's way of thinking that two out of three times just give the kid a quesadilla and they'll be quiet. Works for a lot of adults too.
Wow, well that is a threat and a half! I'm pretty damn sure that this will solve the problem, and if it doesn't then there is something wrong with their brother!
I feel like this could be a good thing to implement in certain political debates, just make world leaders get along by force.
I actually had one of these, they were pretty decent phones if I recall. I bet there's some really naughties-specific ringtones on this bad boy that have been bluetoothed over.
