IN PHOTOS: Tell Me You Have A Toddler Without Telling Me You Have A Toddler

• Most Pinoy moms and dads agree that raising toddlers is the hardest stage of parenting. While they are adorable and affectionate most of the time, their attention-seeking ways — which include tantrums — can make your patience wear thin.

  Still, they have some pretty odd quirks that, depending on your mood, can make you either laugh out loud or do a face palm. On our Smart Parenting Village, mom Clodz Yumang challenged her fellow parents to answer the question: “Tell me you have a toddler without telling me,” with photos of their children’s strange behaviors.

  Here’s her sample, featuring the “artwork” her 2-year-old son, Clark, made:

  As expected, the answers were hilarious — especially the messiest moments! Just one look and you can already relate.
