40 Of The Best Parenting Tweets Of The Month (April Edition)
The times might change but one thing stays constant—raising kids. And speak to any parent in your social circle and you’re bound to hear about what a ridiculously awesome challenge it is. Fun but exhausting. Heartwarming yet tiring. Absolutely hilarious but bordering on tears because your kids won’t eat the meal they asked for and you haven’t slept for, seemingly, years. Raising munchkins is a natural part of life and, at the end of the day, building a family together is one of the coolest parts of life on Planet Earth. (Right next to owning cats and dogs.)
But don’t just take our word for it. There are plenty of parents sharing the funny, quirky, and sometimes mind-boggling ups and downs of their daily lives raising kids right on social media. And Bored Panda’s collected some of the best recent parenting tweets for you to kick back with and enjoy. Perhaps with a hot mug of tea and that candy bar that you hid away from all your other family members.
Done upvoting your fave parenting tweets of the month? Want some more parenting wins and woes to read during work? You’re cordially invited to check out our earlier lists from March, February, and January 2021. Happy scrolling!
However, sometimes parenting seems like an insurmountable challenge. Burnout and stress are replacing the fun and it's easy to feel lost. Bored Panda wanted to learn about how to better navigate the more challenging sides of parenting, so we reached out to counselor Katie Rose, the founder of the Chigwell Therapy Centre and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Therapist Katie went into detail about how we should avoid wanting to be perfect, how resilience and occasional boredom are essential for kids, and how gratitude and opening up to others can help parents deal with daily stress.
"I think that as parents, we feel the need to be perfect. Usually, that means trying (and failing) to live up to unreasonably high expectations we’ve set for ourselves and are impossible to meet," Katie said. "Instead, consider this. In order for our children to learn and grow, they need to understand that we’re not perfect—in fact, that perfection doesn’t even exist. Instead, by failing them in small, manageable ways, we help them learn to tolerate the small frustrations that they will inevitably face in their everyday lives in the future, helping them grow into successful adults." You'll find Bored Panda's full interview with Katie below.

I call telemarketers back after I hung up on them. Then I ask for the most ridiculous stuff and they never call again

@Roland being a person still living under their parents roof, I can tell you that you are probably known as monster parent in your kids friend group...putting your s**t on their beds, favorite clothing, etc, is not going to work...It'll prolly just make your kids rebellious. Yes, you came into this world first, but the kid will only respect you if you respect them. Just to clarify, I probably don't have the whole story, but from what I can see, please change your ways.

When I do a good job cooking they will say, "Wow, Mom, your dinner is like, totally edible tonight!" with way more enthusiasm than necessary...

No need to say sorry for a fart. Quote Shrek:"Better out than in." Or you could practice on farting silently and more deadly.

Look for a class in meditation. Actually, this could work... "Everyone, sit down, or lie down on the mat if that's more comfortable for you. Breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 4 and breathe out for 4. We are going to listen to peaceful rain sounds, let your mind clear and focus on your breath as it moves in and out of the body." and everyone gets a 45 min session of 'Yoga breathing and meditation' that leaves them refreshed and energised.

Really? I must have missed a turn as a teenager, because I never used that phrase to my parents (or anyone else).

525,600 minutes, that’s right, we sat down, and did the math. That made me cry so much.

Mine is usually in the microwave, cold, even though I warmed it up 3 hours ago.

Watching Aladdin with my 3 year old we had an argument because she insisted Aladdin is a street rat and I disagreed. She had seen the film to the end many times before and still insists hes a street rat, because "the man says he is"
