Motherhood (or fatherhood) is an amazing experience, but that doesn't mean it's easy! Kids are a full-time responsibility, and although they're pretty cute, they can be quite the handful. Or, in these elephants' case, an earful! If you were ever wondering if parents of other species get tired of their kids and their silly shenanigans, you can feel better about the fact that elephants also have a tough time dealing with their babies sometimes.
This listicle of awwdorable elephants and their silly, fun-loving babies should resonate with any mother whose kids just won't listen to them. These mommies are multi-tusking and probably need a big glass of hay by the end of the day. So, for all you mommies and daddies out there with rambunctious children, just know that all species get frustrated with their kids, and it's all part of the process. Scroll down to see these adorable baby animals with their loving (and very patient) mothers!
Noooooooooooo, Mom! We want to go home now! This cutie pie baby elephant is enjoying a game of tug-of-war with its mommy, but if you look in the mother's eyes, you can tell that she's totally checked out. She's had a long day of looking after this little hooligan, and she probably wishes he would just go down for a nap already!
We wish we would get as excited about something as this little baby got about a box of hay. Anything that falls over as a result of being excited you can bet is a total trunk-ful. Elephant-sized mischief sounds like it's a lot to deal with, good thing elephants have a lot of patience!
