The Parents Of Twitter Continue To Raise The Bar On Comedy, And Here Are 30 Of Their Funniest Tweets This August
Flying to the moon. Scaling Mt. Everest. Plugging a USB stick into your computer the right way in on the first try. All of these are huge challenges. However, they somewhat pale in comparison to one of the biggest challenges of all in life—being a good parent (getting enough sleep as one grants extra credits).
Each month, Bored Panda collects the funniest and wittiest posts on Twitter that any parent is bound to relate to. Raising your munchkins is an adventure in itself and parents can’t help but share their tales with others on social media. Check out the best parenting tweets this August, upvote the ones you loved the most, and let us know how your family’s handling the end of summer and the start of autumn and starting school again.
I also reached out to British comedy writer, musical comedian, and single mom Ariane Sherine for a chat about why parents share their challenges online, about the start of the new school year, as well as for some tips for new parents on handling the cornucopia of chaos and confusion. You can read Bored Panda’s interview with her below, Pandas.
PS—you’ll find our most recent parenting tweet lists right over here: July, June, and May.

I'm pretty sure most people had a lemonade stall at some point in their childhood. Mine lasted an hour before I gave up and drank it all :)

I'm an adult and I still do whatever I want. That's the blessing of not having any kids :p

If I ever have kids and I go to their friend's birthday party, I'm never taking that cake. Little kids spit everywhere when they blow out the candles.

I read it in my psychology text book. I think it's less of a riddle and more to show that people automatically think the doctor is a man. Though it's pretty outdated now :P

Adult boys are not better. My son, 24 now, gives me always a fist bump. 🤜 🤛. But sometimes he can surprise me. Last weekend, we had not seen in a while, we met by chance by his grandmother. He pounced at me, giving me the happiest and tightest bearhug you can imagine.

They just love you so much and want to be where you are. Sometimes quite annoying, other times it melts the heart right out of your chest.

I mean if I take a nap, I can barely fall asleep later, so maybe the kid is right.

Can remember when my dad got that list and crossed out all the specific brands. "A pencil is a pencil and a notebook is a notebook. I ain't going to pay €4 for a pencil when I can buy 50 of them for €3,55."

No. Just because you say something nice doesn't mean that you get instantly rewarded. That only works in politics.

Every time I read one of these articles I'm reminded that I only enjoy children in very small doses.

So, last night, we got the latest story about our littlest grand daughter – age 5. She was struggling with her dinner and her mother said she had to eat more of it. (Pause) “Can I be a visitor?” “Why do you want to be a visitor?” “So I don’t have to eat all my dinner.” “If you were a visitor, it would be polite to eat it all.” “But YOU SAID a visitor didn’t have to eat it all if they didn’t like it!”
