Toddlers.
They've been called a**holes, dictators and tiny drunk people. But mere words don't capture what it's really like to live with a toddler.
We asked the HuffPost Parents Facebook community to show us "one photo that totally sums up what it's like to parent a toddler" and received hundreds of chaos-filled responses. From food messes to public tantrums to potty training disasters, the pictures show why this phase is known as "the terrible twos" (or is it "the terrible threes" nowadays?)
Here are 29 parents' photos and thoughts about life with toddlers.
