40 Funny Tweets That Parents Might Find Painfully Accurate (May Edition)

Besides she even was cleaning it up so that was problem solved

Lighten up. There's a funny part to the story and city ordinances isn't where it's at!

Yeah okay, try telling that to my dog whilst it's already happening he has to hold it and go somewhere else. Not that easy mate. I always do try my best pick up after him.

“Just make your dog poop somewhere else” Tell me you’ve never owned a dog without telling me….

You can’t ‘make it’ poop somewhere else. I foster guide dogs and they’re extremely well trained to poop at certain times and in certain places but sometimes they just gotta go with no warning. The post only said it was outside their house (so probably the pavement), not their garden. They don’t own the whole world.

Do you walk along the edge of your lawn often or something?

So, someone else’s yard…

So spray water on it. S**t washes off, no big deal.

Thank you! It's really not hard to train this. You just have to follow 2 rules: (Rule 1) When they start to move towards any area where they aren't allowed to go potty, say "no" or "uh-uh" while making a correction pull on the leash back towards the walking path. (Rule 2) When they move towards areas where they are allowed, let them explore/sniff, and when they go potty reinforce it with praise ("good boy/girl"). After about a week of walking your neighborhood with a new dog, they will learn where they are / aren't allowed to potty, and you'll only need occasional reminders when they get distracted by a smell. Too many people in the comments here are pretending dog psychology is too rigid and impulsive to correct this behavior, even though they're the most trainable animals alive. Those people are just incompetent dog owners who are seeking to justify their laziness.

Uh no most people have walked their dogs on the streets since walking your dog was a thing. Alleyways are not safe places to be anyways as there is glass trash possibly even needles snd got knows what else back there

Cleaning the poop is the expectation, given that they are responsible for their dog. You don't get praise for doing what is expected of you just because others are less responsible. Even if they are picking it up, the homeowner has every right to insist walkers don't let their dogs poop on their lawn. I've never had any issue training my various dogs to not poop on my neighbors' property.

I have ADHD and relate to the kid

Come on...it was a cute funny story not a learning lesson for his mother.

Don't be a di*k Kobe she is clearly speaking to her experience as a parent not hyper focusing on her child's disability.

and yet my parents still don’t want to get me tested for adhd

You mean every parent with a kid should know this. Kids can't remember to do their chores but will recite in detail whatever promise made to them to go somewhere or do something THEY want to do

i have ADHD!

Have ADHD, can confirm. Do this even as an adult!

If Google ever breaks then we always have you. Thank so much.

Nobody asked.

As an ADHD kid, I can confirm this

Yep, I have adhd and a panic/anxiety disorder, I forget things, even really important things, but remember other things just fine. I have notes everywhere and alarms on my phone. I usually manage the stuff for the kids okay but I’m putting in way more effort and I can’t do that for everything 100% of the time, I burn out often already. My sister regularly accuses me of “playing it up” or “conveniently using mental illness” to get my way or force “the family” (apparently I’m not included in that group) to “cater to my needs”….huh? I literally avoid all of you and see you maybe 6 times a year. I just want to be left alone, but since I’m the only one with kids they come around making demands. They just think we’re selfish and not even trying, I try so hard tho.

That is exactly what I will do

It's the 'working memory whilst not in hyperfocus' that can be dodgy. Whilst in hyperfocus, everything can be recalled.

yeah, I think the great majority of people do that, it's just how brains work! I think the difference here is the hyperfocus on the details taking place when they were told about going to Target - I'm ADHD myself and never remember that much unless I'm in hyperfocus mode xD

And consume 80 bucks worth of food in less than a day. I had a ravenous pack

I will help your kids empty the fridge

Sounds like a parenting problem, as a teenager I knew automatically when mom came home from the store to run out and help carry in groceries.

That's when you tell them to get off of their butts and help bringing in the groceries

Has that, like, happened?

😄 🤣

Most likely 🤔
