30 Of The Funniest And Most Relatable Tweets From Parents Who Were Just Trying To Get Through November
We’re all just winging it and pretending like we know what we’re doing, aren’t we? Parenting doesn’t really come with a manual. We might think we’re ready for everything because we’ve read every book and blog we could get our hands on. But the reality of raising a teeny tiny human being into a happy and functioning member of society is very different from pure theory.
It’s challenging in weird ways that are beyond hilarious when you stop and think for a moment. That is if you find a moment to spare. You know, in between tidying up the chaos of your home for the third time today (who spilled the Legos again?) and trying to convince your kid to eat something besides dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets (the trick is to pretend that pieces of broccoli are like tiny trees).
Our team here at Bored Panda has collected the funniest and most relatable tweets that parents shared this November. We hope to get you giggling, dear Pandas. Upvote the posts that you enjoyed the most as you scroll down. Do you have any recent parenting anecdotes that you’d like to share with everyone? You’re more than welcome to open up in the comments.
If you’re done enjoying this list, but feel that you still need an extra dose of laughter, you’ll find our most recent features about the parents of Twitter right here: October, September, and August.
Bored Panda reached out to Lenore Skenazy, the president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience, the founder of the Free-Range Kids movement, and a writer for Reason.com, for her insights about parenting. You’ll find her enlightening comments about encouraging independence and helping kids develop positive habits below.

Personally, my younger cousin in elementary school just goes to buy chips and dumps the things in his lunchbox into mine. What sucks is that he uses. My. Money.

Old folks like me remember when Meatloaf was a rebel against the world, when the Beatles were long-haired hippies, when any female lead singer was a fallen woman. Now their music sells cookies. But then again, Ice T is selling cereal, so there you go.

There are tons of people worried about AI like Alexa spying on us etc etc... i'm not worried at all because all they're gonna hear from my house is c**p like this! and the kids shouting "go back to the beginning" every 7 seconds 10 times in a row! They will stop listening to my house pretty darn quick!! :D

One of my nephews had a phase where that was the only way he would pee into the toilet was to crouch on the seat Gollum style (Or as he called it, "Pee like a frog"). His parents just went with it; I guess if it's going into the toilet, that's forward progress at least

My child pitched a fit one day because there were peanuts in her peanut butter. Apparently chunky was the only kind my aunt had.

My husband pulled the “If you don’t stop that, Santa is not going to come this year” one too many times. (He tends to do these over the top hollow threats for some reason instead of enforceable consequences). The kids informed him that Santa always comes and just must be ignoring his calls.

One of the weird things about going from being a single parent to getting married is the strange, almost jealous feeling of not being the “number one and only” anymore. However I know I am extremely lucky for the wonderful father my husband is to my girls (whose biological “father” is an absent ex). He’s their Dad no matter what their birth certificate says.

Who buys a baby a $200 toy? $20 is the limit until at least 4 years old... Unless it's a bike

Today while making lunch I cut off the tip of my finger. Don't worry, just the very tippy tip. But there was quite a lot of blood. I wrapped my finger in a paper towel, finished making lunch, served lunch, got disapproving scowls over what I served for lunch, then I went to the bathroom, cried to myself, calmed myself down, bandaged my own finger, cleaned up the blood in several areas of the house, and then I got some laundry out of the machine and hung it up because my kid needs dry laundry by this evening. Today I am not a big fan of parenting or adulting.
