Parenting is all about love, balancing priorities, managing responsibilities... And being able to laugh about all of it, of course!
Twitter moms and dads are completely honest about raising their kids. What's more, they often confess their trials and tribulations in the funniest ways.
Just like every month, we've rounded up some of best tweets about about parenting, so upvote your favorite entries as you continue scrolling down, share your own funny stories in the comments, and check out Bored Panda's previous collections of funny parenting tweets here: September, August, July, May, April, March, February, and January.

Moms and dads making fun of their struggles on Twitter isn't necessarily a bad thing, too. With school, housework, and the kids' after-school activities taking over their time, parents got a lot on their plate. It's easy to become socially isolated from the outside world when your everyday life is so hectic and make a mistake or two. Accepting and laughing at them allows them to move on.
Vicki Broadbent, for example, successfully juggles a thriving business with raising a family, and she said owning your hiccups is just a part of the journey. "When I mess up, I hold my hands up, admit it, and explain to my children what happened ('Mummy shouted because she was tired'). I also always apologize," the founder of Honest Mum and author of Mumboss, told Bored Panda."It's a strength, not a weakness to say sorry. Being honest about my failures with my children humanizes me as a parent and, most importantly, it normalizes making mistakes. They're a natural part of life and we're all learning and growing. I want my kids to know that while I'm teaching them the difference between right and wrong and the importance of empathy and forgiveness."

Vicki said that her family genuinely has a lot of fun. They sing, dance, watch comedies, and always strive to seek the positives in life. "We as parents don't take ourselves too seriously and laugh at ourselves so our children follow suit." Keeping a family together is a lot of work. But offers so much opportunity to have a good time, too, so why not use it?
"Having children is truly a gift," Vicki said. "It gives you as a parent a second chance at childhood. You can live vicariously through your kids; you can see the world anew through their young eyes, and best of all, you get to eat more candy (!) and lose your inhibitions more (I've been known to dance around the supermarket)! It's a maternal right to embarrass your kids, right!"
The mother is fully aware that having kids is a huge responsibility but like everything in life, she always questions herself, 'Am I having fun?'
"Childhood is a short and precious window to be enjoyed so we as parents must protect this time for our children and harness happiness where possible."

When my 4yo is angry at her 6yo brother, she goes for "aaaaahhh you're annoying like an adult!" and it's a really serious offense considering his expression.

Honestly I can’t see the point of preschool zoom. What would happen thats not detrimental to anyone involved? I have no idea how it would even work.

Anyone who can mute my son has some incredible super powers, wish they wouldn’t be greedy and share their mystical magic.

No, it becomes, "Well, now you're going to school in something else that might look pretty silly...Oh, you suddenly remembered where you coat is?"

Friends complaining about the "terrible two" years shocked into silence when I told them the "terrible twos" were designed to prepare them for the teen years: picture a "terrible two" with car keys.

Is it just me, or do other people get anxiety when they see a movie or old picture where there is a crowd of people with no masks on?

Not only does she hurt physically, she also hurts psychically. So you get two damages for the price of one

When my kid was three, she pointed at at an 80 year old and demanded very loudly 'WHY IS THAT GIRL SMOKING?! DOESN'T SHE KNOW SHE'LL GET CANCER?' and I got to see someone try to work out if they were offended or pleased.

My toddler called water "nanoo". Once we were driving past the lake, she said "Look at the water!" so I turned around and praised her for saying the right word. Nope. She looked me straight in the eye and said "nanoo" and used it for another 6 months, deliberately, with a sarcastic look in her eye.

Parenting done right. There is a soccer field right next to my garden, and all I hear is shouting and cursing

Mama tells that we were driving in the car when I asked "Where do babies come from?" so she started a simple explanation a 3 year old could understand. Then I said "But what I really want to know is, what makes windshield wipers go back and forth?"

When we went to Florida my 11 year old would open his mouth every single time he went under with a wave. Every time. Actually he does it when we swim in the Tennessee River, too. It is automatic for him, go under water, open mouth.

Kid says "I need a jelly sandwich" an hour before supper. So I explain the difference between "need" and "want". Kid hangs on a cabinet drawer screaming "I NEED a jelly sandwich!"

There's a lot of poop on social media, but these parent posts are brilliant.

Heh...we we're at some friends of ours, when their kid was seven, he had the habit of barely brushing his teeth then sending the unused toothpaste down the drain. So it clogged really good one day. So talking to his father who was about to do some heavy duty disgusting drain work. I say, "you know, probably should have your son help you". He stopped, looked at me and then called his son. He doesn't force the toothpaste down anymore. And we don't have kids...LOL!

Parents talk about these zoom fiascos...I find it strange. My child does Google classroom, and when doing Google meets, the school states that cameras are not to be turned on....and in all his school meets, its always been only his teacher and him. I think the country could learn from our VA school system.
