Parenting is like a triathlon where new challenges keep getting tacked on just to keep the participants on their toes. The moment a newborn’s routine is learned, the baby becomes a toddler and everything has to be learned again.

In case you want to see what other parents have been dealing with last month, we’ve gathered the funniest and most relatable parenting tweets from September. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

    My son was a preemie, delivered by C-section. We had explained to him how he was born and received extra care as an infant, which he seemed to accept at his level of understanding. Then came the day his kindergarten teacher contacted me to say he had traumatized his entire classroom when he told the story of how he was delivered... via chainsaw.

    Anyone who says that to another woman's face needs to be put on a course on basic humanity. While I champion every woman's right to proper information and control over how she has her babies, I can't be doing with other mothers voicing their opinions to her about it. My husband's niece had a planned C-section because she has epilepsy and she still has had comments made to her at ante and post-natal groups. Wtƒ?? I had to explain to her that that is just an ongoing reality and to not feel it is her job to change people's opinions. Someone, on finding out that my baby slept in bed with us, crowed "oh, you'll never get her out!" - I can report that she (my daughter) is now 23 and lives in London at term time for her studies. Somehow she's coping with not being in the same bed as her mum and dad, LOL.
