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."
They'll soon call each other names we don't understand and it'll all be OK.
They should also not hurt their siblings, that's important. And the should share with them
Omg so true! I have a VERY sarcastic father and a VERY passive-aggressive mother. I'm the least-liked person...EVER lol.
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.
Went in a corn maze this summer, on about the hottest day of August. Tell you the truth, there's not much shade in a cornfield...
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?"
Haha, this is 100% my both my kids. They would wear shorts rain, hail or shine.

There's a lot of poop on social media, but these parent posts are brilliant.
Jo Choto yes
schopenowski good
I'm a bit disappointed to see so many that aren't using the proper punctuation, capital letters, etc. Are they being lazy?
Well, Twitter has a character limit of 140, so sometimes you can't use proper grammar. Plus, it isn't all too important, this IS social media after all. There aren't any grades or anything :)
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!
Toothpaste that blocked a drain?! That ain't toothpaste. And how much are they using?!

Okay, so, does any parent on twitter actually like their children?
Yes. They all like their children. See, parenting can be a very hard job, and like all people with difficult jobs that they love, they make funny jokes about it to other people who do that job to bond and make the difficult parts easier.
