Relatable Mom Tweets To Help Us Find The Humor In Parenting
Being a parent is no easy task. It requires insane amounts of hard work and dedication, not to mention a tolerance for strange smells and bodily fluids. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.
One thing that can help you get through your kids' hard years is the support of other parents. It's nice to know that you're not alone. Keep reading to see some tweets from parents who have found the humor in raising kids.
A Non-Stop Talker
There are some kids who won't tell you anything about their day when they come home from school. There are other kids who can't shut up about it.
This kid is an example of the latter.
Lost Legs
I guess this kid thinks that pants are called legs, and that makes for a pretty hilarious tantrum.
I mean, it's funny for us because we didn't have to actually deal with it.
Spell Check
I can't get over how sassy this kid is. She thinks that she can just make up words and her mom should be able to read them.
She's going places.
Super Speedy
Have you ever seen a toddler running around with a cup of juice or something that could hurt them? They are almost impossible to catch.
Parents really have to get in shape if they want to keep up with their kids.
Real Mature
They say that you're never really ready to have kids, and that is absolutely true.
If we all waited until things like this didn't make us laugh, there would be no more humans in the world.
It's Always Funny
If your kid doesn't write "poop" on a fogged-up shower door, are they even a kid?
This is what childhood is all about. Potty humor is the pinnacle of comedy for children.
Babies Everywhere
If it seems like there are too many kids to keep track of and you aren't sure where they're even coming from, then you're not alone.
It looks like a lot of parents have this problem.
So Quiet
The best part about what happened here is that the kid just decided to do this all on his own.
He could have counted out loud but he chose not to.
Be Careful What You Say
You have to be really careful about what you say around your kids because they repeat absolutely everything.
Don't say anything you wouldn't want your kid to say to you.
We're Baffled
How is it that houseplants are more fragile than human children? These plants are impossibly finicky.
Maybe we're just too busy taking care of kids that we don't have time for houseplants.
The Exception To The Rule
The no phones at the table rule is a pretty good rule. Although, there are times when a phone is absolutely necessary.
Proving dad wrong is one of those times.
So Passive-Aggressive
This kid isn't just casually pointing out who is wearing a shirt in the house, she's hinting that maybe her dad should put on a shirt too.
Come on, Dad, even the doll is wearing one.
How Dinner Goes
I will never understand how some kids can eat their whole dinner in a flash and others take forever to eat a single chicken nugget.
It makes absolutely no sense.
That's Not Cool
It is very true that our babies are the boss of us. We think we're in charge but we change our whole lives to fit their schedule.
The clipboard throwing was unnecessary.
He Can't Keep A Secret
This ice cream employee really doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut.
These kids didn't have to know that their mom gets ice cream without them. Now they do, though.
You Have To Make Peace With Being Shady
From what I've seen, parenting comes down to tricks and lies.
Yes, you teach them the importance of morals and being a good person, but when it comes to getting them to go sleep or eat their veggies, it's fair game.
Add In The Fear Of Death!
Looking back on my youth, I like to think that I was pretty good at learning to drive during my first few stints behind the wheel.
In reality, my dad probably thought he was going to die.
Is It Rude To Put In Earplugs?
I love my kids with my whole heart, but sometimes I wish that I had actually ended up with shy, quiet children who prefer to read books on their own rather than have a conversation.
Or at least who read books aloud in another room.
Get Your Head In The Game!
Mario Kart truly brings out the worst in ourselves.
While I would never even consider swearing at my kid on a regular day, I would literally try to wreck them on Rainbow Road.
What Sisters Are For?
This mom has had enough playtime to last a lifetime. It's his sister's turn to step in and take a shift. Kids never get tired of playing.
They can play all day forever and it's absolutely exhausting.
Caillou Is Canceled!
I know that, as an adult, it is irrational for me to feel an unbridled rage toward a bald animated child. I know that.
However, that will not stop me from celebrating the end of this show.
Learn As You Go
Do the green tortillas in any way shape or form taste significantly different from the regular-colored ones?
Not at all. Will a child still refuse to eat it because it looks weird? Absolutely.
This Theory Makes A Lot Of Sense
So many toys that are aimed at children are simply too annoying for it to be an accident.
Those toys were made as a retroactive revenge ploy toward their own parents, and now I must suffer.
Secured The "Cool Parent" Title
I would like to think that I am pretty good at keeping up with the current slang,
But I know, undoubtedly, there will be a day that I cannot understand what the kids are saying.
PSA To New Parents!
You have never met a more sore loser than a child losing at their favorite board game.
If they could punch their little fists through the wall, they would do it.
It's Not Exactly A Lie
Sometimes you've got to play chess to outsmart your kids who are playing checkers.
Is there really any harm in making a promise that is impossible to keep due to the weather?
You Can Wait
Kids think that it's so easy to be an adult when, in reality, it's so much easier to be a kid.
Unfortunately, you can't really understand that when you're in the kid phase.
Where's The Time?
Time flies when you're having fun. Sadly, it goes by horribly slow when you aren't. Not to say this parent isn't enjoying the extra time with her children that she loves.
We're just saying her joy isn't as high as it could be.
When They Actually Do What They're Told
This mom was so surprised that her kids actually did what they were told that she didn't know how to react.
What are you supposed to do when your kids throw you for a loop like this?
People Always Say Children Are Magical
But they never tell you how. Why don't we harness these powers and use them to do something more productive than putting off bedtime?
Like be able to eat more in a day but never gain more weight.
