There’s nothing quite like the thrill of parenthood—those first smiles, the giggles, and the proud moments of watching your children grow. But let’s be honest, it’s also a wild ride filled with sleepless nights and tantrums that make you question your life choices.

When things get tough, parents need a place to vent and share a laugh to release their emotions. Naturally, there’s no better outlet for this than X (formerly Twitter).

You can already guess where this is headed—we’re back with our latest monthly roundup of top parenting tweets. Scroll down to enjoy some of the funniest and most relatable posts from July, and don’t miss our chat with Dr Kirsty Pakes, a clinical psychologist and parenting consultant from the UK.

    This is cute, the child thinks not being together is a punishment for the parent, which means not being with the parent is like a punishment for the kid. That's nice.

    Apparently, I punished my parents by “goating a bed!” Somehow I turned my perception of punishment (time out) into withdrawn affection. Guess it says a lot about my childhood that I understood withdrawn affection was a really bad punishment.

    I don’t know. Extra nap time means there’s no way she’s going to bed that night.

    According to Pew Research Center, 88% of parents find raising children more difficult than they expected. To learn more about the reasons behind this and address common misconceptions, Bored Panda spoke with Dr Kirsty Pakes, a registered clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and parenting consultant with over 20 years of experience.

    “Parenting is so hard, under-supported, and undervalued,” Pakes says. As a mom of two school-aged children, she understands the struggle firsthand. Pakes believes that when parents are stressed and unsure of how to react to their children, we should take a compassionate approach rather than label them as bad parents.

    I’m an adult still living at home. “You’re not wearing a bra, are you?” “Nope.” “That’s not appropriate/ you look like a slob” (occasionally both) “Whys it not appropriate?” “It’s just not.” To “you look like a slob” I usually say I don’t care, or “nobody’s going to be looking at my chest.” AIBU?

    Parents often struggle to know how to respond to their children’s difficult emotions and behavior in a way that is going to get to the root of the problem, be effective, and actually build closeness rather than distance between the parent and child. “I think our society misunderstands emotions and how we build emotional well-being, resilience, and regulation in children,” says Pakes. “We often think we need to stop a child’s emotions, but the latest psychological and neuroscience evidence shows that emotional regulation actually requires children to feel their emotions with the support of a kind, empathic listening adult.”

    If I had a kid, THAT is what lesson #1 would be.

    In order for a child to develop true emotional regulation, they need to feel their emotions with the support of a kind, empathic listening adult until they reach the end of them and come out the other side with renewed resilience. “This process is known as ‘co-regulation’,” Pakes explains. “Parents need to be their child’s lighthouse in the emotional storm, beaming empathy and kind, attuned presence.”

    My husband deployed for 18 months to the big sand box..I went home to my hometown with my kids because, well why not? My 6 year old was new in school, Daddy gone, Mommy busy with family and much older siblings. The school counselor decided because he was a little guy, who was literally the only child in his school that was an Army kid. He proceeded to ask for a sit down with him, JIC he was struggling. After the social play, he started to talk to him. He asked him some questions about stress, and if he was sleeping and eating good. Then asked him if he thought maybe his Daddy was afraid...My sweet little boy answered, my Daddy is only afraid of my Mom. It's an Army wife thing..

    While all emotions are welcome, not all behaviors are. Difficult behavior is a sign of some suffering within the child, either difficult emotions are coming out through their behavior or the child is lacking an inner sense of connection. “We need to support their emotions and bring connection and warmth to them so they can get back on track,” Pakes advises. “Limits are set with kindness and empathy for the underlying feelings. This approach gets to the bottom of the problem and means it is less likely to reoccur.”

Chewed up bubble gum, half melted life savers, rocks, worms, leaves, etc. if it could fit into their pocket then there was no telling what I would find.

    Pakes uses the metaphor of ‘emotional backpacks’ to explain how children carry unprocessed feelings. “When feelings aren't acknowledged or worked through, they don’t just go away. They get stored in our emotional system or emotional backpack ready to be triggered at another time. This is why sometimes children can get upset about very little things.”

    If you were in the kitchen with Mom then you would be put to work. As soon as us kids learned to walk my Mom had us in the kitchen learning anything and everything, it didn't matter if it was cooking or cleaning we ALL had a job to do. There was 13 of us kids, so it didn't matter how old you were Mom would have a some way for you to help out.

    Parenting is incredibly demanding, and parents often try to raise their children differently from how they were raised. “We need a supportive community of like-minded parents around us and emotional support for ourselves,” Pakes emphasizes. “It’s difficult to parent with calm and kindness when we are stressed and have no one to listen to our emotions. Listening partnerships for parents can provide this emotional support.”

    We can't help that we truly never fully grow up.

    Pakes advises seeking professional help when a child shows persistent emotional and behavioral challenges that affect their quality of life. “I’'s also important for parents to seek help if they struggle to connect with their child or react in a way that is over-the-top,” she adds. “All parents would benefit from support and knowing the latest research on how to best support their child’s emotional well-being.”

    Pakes also suggests looking into attachment theory and Hand in Hand parenting to improve the parent-child relationship. Attachment theory, which emphasizes the importance of a secure and trusting bond between parent and child, shows that connectedness is the greatest predictor of emotional well-being. Hand in Hand parenting focuses on strengthening this connection by using listening and empathy to help children process difficult emotions. “This approach uses listening and connection to help children move through and process underlying difficult emotions,” Pakes explains. “It also brings firm limits with warmth and understanding.”

    Teach the boy how to cook so he can take care of himself later on.

    Hand in Hand parenting teaches five key practices: Special Time, Staylistening, Setting Limits, Playlistening, and Listening Partnerships for Parents. Special Time involves timed, announced, child-led one-on-one time where parents delight in whatever their child chooses to do. Staylistening focuses on listening to and supporting a child's emotions. Setting Limits involves stopping tricky behavior with empathy and kindness. Playlistening uses play to build connection and address difficulties. Listening Partnerships provide emotional support for parents.

    These tips are just one of the many ways you can establish a better emotional connection with your child and become a more confident parent. However, struggling along the way is normal, and seeking guidance and professional support when needed is a sign of strength. Whatever you do, remember that there's no such thing as a perfect parent. Embrace the journey with its ups and downs, and focus on building a loving, supportive relationship with your children.

I would have to put in the legs, ans she would spend 45 minuses pulling it all the way up. I knew when she was finished, because she would look at me until I gave her a new dress. The same one pulled down would not do 😁 i even learned she had favorites, one was the same as mine, so we had to share 🥰

    My mother used to send us away for 2 weeks to camp shawadasee in Michigan, in July, it was the worst, they were so cheap that you could take an ice cold shower or a scalding hot shower, but you couldn’t take a warm shower. They used to make us get a pan of water and give ourselves a sponge bath, disgusting. I told my mother not to waste her money because I was never going back.
