These Savage Notes Prove That Parents Are The Real MVPs

Our parents can't always be by our sides, telling us what to do and how to do it, guiding us through this complex maze called life— that's why they write notes. Notes are there when parents can't be. They communicate what's on their mind.

A well-written note can change the world— or at least, it can change how the people who read the note behave. Keep reading for some of the most creative and to-the-point notes parents have ever written. Find out the right way to make ice cubes, and the wrong way to dispose of a dead chicken...

Will Do Chores For Wifi

This clever parent changes his household's wifi password every day. They only tell their kids the password after they've completed all of their chores.

Sounds like an awesome parenting tactic to me. Soon the kids are going to get smart though, and they're going to change the password before their parent can get to it.

Poor McKenna, first her mother gives her a name like McKenna (no offense every other McKenna in the world) and then she tells her to shovel snow on her birthday, and then she peaces out to Madison.

Savage, mom. Real savage. A "have a great day" would have been nice.

Does Your Love Taste Like Cheeze-Its?

Thanks for the love, mom, but a napkin in a plastic bag isn't going to fill my stomach with snacks. You know what will fill my stomach with snacks? Actual edible food.

How about we supplement some of that love with pretzels or even a sandwich?

This note is a work of art. It is so beautifully written that I could weep. I love that she omitted the possessive pronoun before "bum." It doesn't matter whose bum, just bum in the general sense.

All bums are created equal. Also, the rhyme with "bum" and "mum" is just delightful.

The little heart at the bottom is a nice touch. She might cut you, but she'll always love you.

I bet you thought the kids in the last post had it rough. This mom needed two pieces of paper to get her message across.

It does look like this note is mostly aimed at Kevin. Molly's name seems to be somewhat of an afterthought. I guess we know who the real messy one is around this house.

One thing is for sure, both mom and dad love their exclamation marks. If exclamation marks were a form of viable currency, Eric would be rolling in it.

Mom and dad seem to disagree about what kind of trouble their son could get into while they're away— or maybe mom just doesn't want to think about it.

The Least Absorbant Napkin Ever

Does she expect her son to wipe his face with a piece of paper? Because that may qualify as cruelty to children. If the note wasn't so cute, I might have reported her myself.

A piece of paper is not a napkin. It just spreads the dirt around.

I hope it's not a tuna sandwich. If you don't put lettuce in between the tuna and the bread, that sandwich is going to get soggy real fast.

Honestly, kid, if it's gross I would just give it to one of your friends who will eat anything, and tell your dad that you ate it.

Moms don't exist to clean up your messes. Please act like a human being and clean up after yourself when you make a mess.

Also, don't complain about having to clean up for yourself. That's what people do, not just moms. Keep reading for a mom who is about to venture into dangerous territory.

So I think we've established that kids are pretty dumb. But are they too dumb to know how to make ice? Apparently, they are.

It's a recipe with one ingredient and what is pretty much one step, which is not a recipe at all, by a lot of people's standards.

This is the most accurate note I have ever read. I don't know if a prayer is going to help her, but it's definitely worth a try.

She left at 8:43, so if she's not back in an hour, that's when it's time to panic. Keep reading for a mom who is too tired for your shenanigans.

I don't know what kind of school this mom thinks her kid goes to, but nobody in their right mind would take that trade.

What kid is going to give up a precious Twinkie for a small handful of baby carrots? The note should say, "eat these and also don't steal a Twinkie."

I wonder how many times this girl's mom has just chucked a dead chicken across the street. Is there a pile of dead chickens over there? I'm pretty sure those "do not toss chicken carcass" rules exist for a reason— but thanks for the heads up, mom.

I guess now we know why the chicken crossed the road...

If you need your mom to remind you to take birth control, maybe you should take a step back and examine your choices— just a thought.

Hopefully, this is just a case of an overprotective, overbearing mother, and not of an irresponsible teenager. Somehow I doubt that, though.

Remember the note from the dad that said he would keep sending the same sandwich until his kid ate it? Well, he strikes again.

Judging by this note, it appears his son or daughter is still averse to his lunch packing choices. I wonder how many dad facts it will take until his kid actually eats their lunch.

Sometimes notes from mom and dad double as a user manual. In this case, mom and dad really want their kids to step up and start helping around the house, but don't want them to destroy anyone's clothes.

In these kid's defense, doing your own laundry can be challenging. There are like 50 different settings that all seem to do the same thing.

This mom is clearly trying to her hardest to get her kids to put their dirty clothes in the hamper. She even thinks adding a menacing face will help her cause.

While she's trying to make it sound like she means business, this mom is probably a softy at heart who had to try extra hard to keep herself from adding "I love you" to the bottom.

Looks like Joshua is having a little too much fun after hours. If anything, he should perhaps lock his doors if he's going to sneak around his parents.

It's surprising that he got away with sneaking more than one girl into his room in the first place, which is probably why his parents don't seem that mad. They just want him to stay safe out there.

This mom and dad cannot be bothered in the morning. They probably had this morning planned for weeks. Finally, they will have a morning where they can sleep in, which they probably haven't done since their kids were born.

This mother knew that her child would be upset to find their secret chocolate stash eaten up. But she only did it because she care's about her child's health.

It can be pretty annoying for families that have someone who uses the cars without filling them up. Sure, they may get away with it at first but eventually, the rest of the family catches on.

That's why Sarah got this note from her mother about their car Diesel, which takes diesel fuel if you must know.

This dad left a kind note in his child's lunch. We bet that when this kid opened his lunch he wasn't expecting this existential lecture from his father.
