Funny Texts That Only A Parent Could Send
What is it about moms and dads and sending the most cringey texts ever? It's like their fingers start typing and they can't control their urge to be totally embarrassing. We can spot a mom text from a mile away.
Keep reading to see some of the most hilarious, silly, and downright weird texts from parents who don't have the easiest time using technology. Parents: they may be strange, but we can't help but love them.
New Names For Everyone
This mom decided to give all of her children new names all of a sudden. She sent them a group text to let them know the news.
Birch (AKA Kyle) doesn't seem to be taking it well.
Did You Know?
Yes, Mom, we knew. Everyone knows.
I don't know where you've been for the last few decades, but 4/20 has been a thing for as long as we can remember.
A Sick Burn
Wow, Dad is back at it again with the sick burns.
Poor Hannah. I wonder what she did to warrant this kind of treatment from her own father. Maybe she made a bad dad joke.
An Honest Mistake
Okay, this one is making us laugh out loud.
First of all, we love that this mom has both a bingo marker and a stick of foot deodorant right by her side at all times.
Mom's Sending Memes
Has this mom been perusing our website lately?
We might have let her in on this little secret. She liked this tip so much that she decided to send it to her kids.
Call Mom
Hey, whoever this is, I think your mom wants you to call her.
She's been trying to reach you for the past 10 years. Maybe it's time to give her a call back.
She Hasn't Figured Out Voice Notes
There is so much going on here. Obviously, this mom hasn't figured out how to use voice notes.
We're just glad that she didn't accidentally send something worse than the sound of the vacuum cleaner.
That's Not What It Looks Like
This mom thought she was sending her daughter a big hug emoji.
If she had looked at the thing a little more closely, she might have realized that it's not a hug at all.
Somebody Get Mom Off The Internet
This mom has been spending way too much time online.
She's been doing her research on vegetables, and oh boy, does she have a lot to say about spinach. Strap in, this is going to be a wild ride.
Family Feud
well, at least these parents cut to the chase. They're not going to beat around the bush and pretend to like somebody that they don't like.
They say that honesty is the best policy, but maybe sometimes you should bite your tongue.
Wire Fire?
This mom really wanted to get onto the internet at home, but she didn't even know that Wi-Fi was called Wi-Fi.
That's not a great place to start. Does she think Wi-Fi is short for wire fire?
Not Today
Has this mom been watching a lot of Ru Paul's Drag Race? How does she know all of this millennial slang?
Also, why doesn't she want to talk to her own kid?
Sometimes Moms Are The Best
Wow, okay, we take back all of the negative things we've ever said about moms.
This mom just came flying in with the perfect response to hearing that her kid was upset.
The Princess Of Darkness
Look, if you're going for a goth look around your parents, you have to be prepared to get some snarky remarks.
It's just what happens when you're a part of a family.
She's Missing The Point
This mom wanted to understand the internet lingo the kids are using these days.
Unfortunately, when her son let her in on the secret, she didn't quite understand the message.
Have A Great Day
Moms are always so quick to let you in on the latest gossip about people you don't remember and have no interest in remembering.
Also, it's rarely ever good news.
Come Down For Dinner
This dad sent his kid a text telling him to come down for dinner.
When the kid asked if the food would poison him, dad didn't seem to be very reassuring.
Just Call Me Tech Support
This mom doesn't know how to turn her front-facing camera back around.
She is calling this "getting off of selfie." We're honestly surprised she even knows the term "selfie."
When Your Own Mother Forgets You
Sometimes, life hits you with a full-on punch in the face when your own mother doesn't know your phone number.
Honestly, next time she calls, this person could pick up and pretend they don't know who called them just to get her back.
Pressure From Mom
This mom wants grandchildren really, really badly. She's not above pressuring her daughter to have kids.
Does anybody else get these invasive texts from their parents? It's pretty darn aggravating.
Texts From Dad
We're not sure what's going on here or why this dad felt that it was necessary to send his kid a picture of himself looking like this.
Just a dad being a dad, I guess.
Untag Her Now
This loving daughter tagged her mom in a Mother's Day post on Instagram.
Now, a whole bunch of people are sending her mom some pretty inappropriate photos. This is why you should just stick with flowers.
Mom, That's Gross
We don't want to think about what our parents do in their bedroom ever in our whole lives.
We know that's how we came to exist, but let's just leave it at that.
She Might Have A Point
This mom is nervous about using the hotel's internet, and honestly, these days, I might be a little nervous too.
As long as she doesn't sign into her internet banking she should be fine, though.
Baby Number Three
This mom is super happy to be a grandmother, but when somebody's on their third or fourth kid, the announcements just don't hit the same way (sorry, third and fourth kids out there).
Time to break out the old name out of a hat trick.
She Made An Attempt
This mom wanted to know how to type the sideways heart emoji on her phone. Apparently, she couldn't figure it out just from looking at it.
She also couldn't figure it out after her kid explicitly told her how to do it.
Just No
If you ask your mom for something and she says no, you better not go ask your dad the same question.
That's just asking for trouble. Accept the no and move on.
The Most Mom Text Ever
Parents seem to use their phones for two things and two things only: playing Candy Crush and asking their kids when they're going to be home.
Sometimes, they also comment on random Facebook photos.
Some Helpful Reminders
This mom was really nervous about the pandemic (as we all were/are), so she sent her kids some helpful, pandemic-related reminders.
These are just a few rules to live by in 2020.
That One Hurt
Well, who is this dad's favorite child then? I feel like if you accidentally send a text like this, you should just let it be.
Let all the kids think they're the favorite child.
