It’s Time For The Best Parenting Tweets Of The Month, And Here Are The Best Ones This January (30 Pics)
The UN health agency chief expressed optimism during a press briefing on Wednesday that 2022 may be the year the world ends the acute stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s a big bet. A bet on which our sense of normalcy, something we took for granted in the pre-pandemic life, relies.
Speaking of parents, the prospect may sound like a savior. You see, dealing with kids in all this chaos proved to be a whole new kind of challenge. It left moms and dads continually sleep deprived, it turned them into stay-at-home teachers, made homes children’s playground and ruined not just one or two video conferences.
So no wonder Bored Panda’s monthly list of the funniest parenting tweets is one of the most awaited posts for many readers.

While parents are constantly trying to do their best with parenting, especially during the pandemic which brought immense challenges upon households, schools, kindergartens, and after-class activities, it’s easy to let the kid have their own way. Usually out of love and care, sometimes from lack of a strict voice, and especially now due to the confusing routine courtesy of the pandemic, children start showing their adverse side. Whether it’s the lack of motivation, aggressive behavior, or lack of gratitude, kids are getting more spoiled than ever.
For me it would be: I really hope my bother of a brother isn't even more annoying than he already is
I am in a wheelchair permanently. One kid I came across in the street didn't really get why I needed that wheelchair. So to make it a bit easier I explained it as my wheelchair is a stroller for adults who can't walk :-)
It's easy to tell if a child has been spoiled. They insists on having their own way, use tantrums and whining to get their way, feel superior and entitled to more or better things than others. Other signs include a very low tolerance for frustration, making unfair and excessive demands to others, and complaining about being bored. According to Pediaclinic, the main cause of spoiled children is a lenient, permissive parenting style. Permissive parents at the extreme may not set any limits or boundaries, as a result, parents give too much power to the child and the inevitable happens: the kid is spoiled, and that’s not to be taken lightly.
“Do you know anyone who has trouble keeping their emotions in check when they don’t get their own way? It may be that they were spoiled as a child and this hasn’t done them any favors as they move into their adult life,” Lynn How, the author of “Positive Young Minds” told Bored Panda in an interview. Lynn specializes in supporting parents, teachers, and children navigating through mental health issues and prevention.
“These children may turn into adults who show less resilience when things go wrong and they may give up easily when things aren’t working out. Also, they want it all and they want it now whereas most adults can tolerate delayed gratification,” Lynn explained.
Other traits that reveal an adult was likely spoiled as a child include, Lynn argues, “a lack of independence as their problems were generally solved for them, an inability to take criticism as nothing they did badly would invoke the appropriate feedback and the idea that everything should just come to them easily without too much work.” Lynn added that this last point is also coupled with a huge sense of disappointment when it doesn’t work out. “All in all, this doesn’t set a child up to have positive relationships or good mental health as an adult,” she warned.
Moreover, when a child is growing up in an environment that feeds their spoiled behavior, a lack of appropriate boundaries can be very confusing. “Although on the outside, these children can seem argumentative and rude, this stems from a lack of self-confidence on the inside as they have not been given these tools.”
Lynn also said that “Once their safety blanket of the parents spoiling them has been removed, coping on their own would bring on anxiety which could manifest itself as a tantrum. Often these children will have friendship issues as they find it challenging to let others have their own way and they may find it difficult to form positive relationships with other adults such as teachers due to difficulty with conformity.” In conclusion, this adds up to a childhood that is more challenging that it needs to be.
My kids do this sometimes like is my birthday is it Christmas I remind them that in this month or that next year or that is next winter or fall lol
Tis best to plan ahead. Don't wanna get caught having to figuring out how to make a costume of the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 complete with the big minigun 2 weeks before.
My wife's brother once got very drunk, vomited copiously all over his room then proceeded to hoover up the mess (or attempt to). Which was fine until about a day later when the hoover began to REALLLLY honk. In the end, not even a bag change could save the thing and it had to be binned.
“I need to be dressed as French hamster for assembly this morning” Said at breakfast before school. Helpful.
Had a parent call me to explain to me (for a good 20 minutes) why she would like me to come down with my kid when he comes to play ( kids were 12), after she got done, I told her next time my kid showed up, to tell him he can't come play at her house. Lecturing people is no way to get another adult to hang out with you LOL
Lucky. I lost nearly all of my sense of smell when I had Covid, and it's not coming back :/.
That's actually why it was invented. It was originally designed by a female socialist to be played two different ways. You were supposed to play it communally first, and then the monopoly way. The point was to show that the first way was better for everybody, and that the second way was terrible for everybody except for one person. The game was so popular people would make their own boards at home to play with their friends. When Hasbro bought the rights from her, they changed the rules. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/business/behind-monopoly-an-inventor-who-didnt-pass-go.amp.html
Am I the only one who thought “bed party” was something else?
It was very hard to convince me that "butte" is pronounced "beaut". I'm 17 now and I'm still not entirely convinced; my American Literature teacher even recently showed us a link from Butte College and had to inform us all that it is not pronounced "Butt College".
Try reducing their internet time by 10 mins everytime they ask the same question. No it doesn't work, but if I am failing I don't see why I should do it alone.
Well, boxed wine is just juice boxes for adults, that is a start.
I can imagine Netflix producing a cereal called "Netflakes" where inside each box is a recommendation that makes absolutely no sense.
This is me, but when I first started to ask for stuff. And by that, I mean getting my mom to authorize me getting more Sims expansion packs and letting me take my sister to the new Claire's that just opened in a nearby Wal-Mart. I am 17.
Ha, yeah. My son "mom can I go work on my big project?" Me: *wow he's finally taking initiative on schoolwork* "of course, go for it!" Turns out it was making something in Minecraft .....
Yeah and the other 10% is telling them don't put that in your mouth, get up, get out of the shower, stop it.
Lying to save money isn't okay. And scams like that tend to fall through when your oldest shouts "But dad, I'm six and [name] is FOUR!"
Can anyone imagine having ANY social media back in the 80's early 90's? We all would have been f@#cked.🤔🤯
Social media is just like all other things, it has it's good and bad things. It would eventually get better once we eliminate the echo chambers, find better ways to stop fake posts, etc.

My son, when he was 7, told me that a little girl in school was in love with him. He said "I must have a conversation with her... Because, you know daddy, when I'll grow up, I'll be perhaps like you... Ugly...".
BS. BS. BS. I raised three children and they seemed to have forgotten their role is to say cute, clever, not made up quotes for parents to post, because EVERYONE has to know how smart your child is.
