50 Of The Best Parenting Tweets Of The Year
This is it, folks, Bored Panda’s final list of the year, collecting the very best of the best, the crème de la crème of parenting tweets made in 2020. And what a year it’s been! Parents have had so many challenges this year and were forced to adapt to a whole new life like never before.
If being a mom or a dad wasn’t challenging and fun in itself on any regular day, the global Covid-19 pandemic drastically changed everything. Parents learned how to work from home and take care of their kids during lockdown all at the same time, scratched their heads whenever Zoom lessons wouldn’t work right, and had to juggle keeping their munchkins entertained and finding enough time for themselves. And that’s on top of kids being kids!
Don’t believe us? Scroll down and have a look. Upvote your fave parenting tweets as you go along and let us know in the comments what your biggest parenting challenges and funniest moments were this year! When you’re done, check out our previous parenting tweet posts here, here, and here, as well as here.
Anita Cleare, parenting expert and author of ‘The Work/Parent Switch,’ explained to Bored Panda that there's absolutely no doubt that children will have very strong memories from 2020. "This year will stick out in their minds as unique and different. But rather than focusing on the hardships, think about what alternative happy memories you could create this Christmas," she said. Read on for our full interview with Cleare and her wholesome insights about how to create a memorable Christmas for your kids this year, as well as how to handle both work from home and taking care of your children.

We're in same boat. My dad, PaPa (77) does half the day and my mid-70's MIL does the other half - watching our toddler twins. One of the twins kept "adjusting her hearing aid" - mimicking PaPa. And both of them wanted glasses (we popped the lenses out of some toddler sunglasses) to "read" anything. There were a few others like this. Sadly, they've outgrown it all now though.

I was getting in the shower and my son was around 4. He noticed my hair and had 50,000 questions, Does it hurt? Will I have hair too? Does everyone have hair? Does grandma know you have hair? Did she give you permission to have hair? etc... I locked the bathroom door from that pint on. LOL

I told my kids what ever hatches in their rooms, they must care for them all on their own. They are old enough to keep the room clean and tidy (teenagers). After reading this, I might have to check?

My parents don't need to lie about it. I'm super short and look a couple years younger than I am so I'm always handed a kids menu first thing. One waitress literally thought I was 8 when I was 12 once.

My daughter when she was around 4 years old, at family lunch (main meal) with my husband and I and her 9 years old brother. We are having beetroot as a salad. She goes: Beetroot is very healthy! Me: Yes, Lydia, it is! Lydia: And it's very good for mommies, daddies and little 9-y-o boys, but it's not very good for 4-y-o girls!
