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 :)

Maybe in some countries - in others it really isn't a thing.

Genuine question: Is the whole 'Lemonade stand' thing, actually a thing anywhere outside the U.S.A?

I have been doing tutoring for less than minimum wage. Hooray for getting $10/hour for putting up with a shouty kid. Meanwhile this kid is rolling in it.

My friend’s little sister put up a lemonade stand and made like 35 dollars after selling just 3 cups for fifty cents because everybody wanted to give money to the sweet little country girl selling lemonade.

This is not a film. It's real life. Teach her how to give change before she someone calls the police, if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, she could end up ripping off a real nasty piece of sh*t and get hurt

I came across some girls with a lemonade stand in Nantucket. There's something about seeing kids put that together that makes you want to give your money to them. Then I noticed they lived in the probably $15mill house they were posted at.
Comedy writer and pop star in waiting, Ariane, told Bored Panda that parents sharing their experiences with others on social media helps them deal with the challenges that they face every day at home. What’s more, you can end up bonding with other parents over shared experiences. In the end, you feel less alone knowing that others have been in your shoes before.
“Sharing tough parenting situations helps you let off steam, alleviate frustration, and feel less isolated, especially when you’re a single parent, as I am,” she said. “Often other parents respond with their own anecdotes, so you feel less alone. And it’s always fun to share the hilarious things your kid says and does. I’ve tweeted so many of those that I made my daughter a book of the tweets for her 10th birthday, which she loved!”
Ariane also gave me some insights into what the quickly approaching new school year is shaping up to be like this time around for her daughter, Lily. According to Ariane, some schools are getting rid of Covid restrictions for students in the UK. This is vastly different from last year. The rules regarding contact groups, aka ‘bubbles,’ have been relaxed, however, schools in England will be inviting students to be tested for Covid.
“The new school year will be different for my daughter Lily, as there are no longer going to be class ‘bubbles’ and all Covid restrictions will be removed. It’s also her last year of primary school, which feels bittersweet. My baby is growing up!” Ariane opened up to Bored Panda about why this year is special for Lily.

I'm an adult and I still do whatever I want. That's the blessing of not having any kids :p
What’s more, Ariane had some fabulous tips and tricks for those of you Pandas who are new to parenting. She shared with Bored Panda how she approaches parenting. Especially in tough situations.
“I always try to parent with love and understanding,” she said. “When my daughter’s upset, I give her a hug and stroke her hair, and that calms her down. It’s essential to remember that your child’s frustrations and tantrums are rarely personal. They’re just a natural part of growing up, and we need to allow them to express their feelings.”
So there you have it, dear Pandas. All the proof that you need that sharing your parenting ups and downs on social media isn’t just allowed, it can actually be great for your emotional health. Got any fun or challenging parenting tales to tell? Let us know all about them in the comments.

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.

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.

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!”
