There are over a thousand books written on parenting, but nothing can prepare you for the real thing. Magical, exhilarating, confusing, and downright funny, kids always manage to surprise their parents who can just sit back and document their own feelings for posterity.
Parents on Twitter share their hilarious, relatable, and wholesome thoughts and experiences about having kids. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your own thoughts and stories below. We got in touch with educational psychologist, best-selling author, and TODAY show contributor Dr. Michele Borba to learn a bit more about raising a child.

Lol, gotta say when it comes to kids switching personalities when parents arrive, thats pretty common... not all of them go from angel to devil tho many just go shy to energetice

OMG, my son did a similar thing recently. His teacher gave him a note to bring a few toilet paper rolls in 2 weeks - I think it was 4 or 5, easy to do if you know two weeks in advance, impossible when you learn at 8 AM and the only roll is halfway done 😂

Just tell the kid you need to go to the doctor and probably wait there for hours.
Probably she had that dream BECAUSE he hit the leg against her bed strongly (or the cat jumped on it, or smth) while sleeping?
Yeah. When I’ve done something injurious in my sleep or felt nauseated, I had a dream that represented those feelings.
Load More Replies...Bored Panda got in touch with educational psychologist, best-selling author, and TODAY show contributor Dr. Michele Borba to ask some questions about parenting, particularly with troubled children, and she was kind enough to answer our questions. Firstly, we wanted to know if there were cases where a child’s bad behavior was not a result of poor parenting.
“Yes! Too many reasons for misbehavior: need for attention, boredom, fatigue, hunger, not sure of expectations/fear, or the environment doesn’t support the child,” she shared with Bored Panda.
This is what I'm afraid of when I have kids! I have seen my mum with my nephews when they were younger. She agrees to bed times etc and it all goes out the window when my stepsister leaves. My Stepdad is no help either.
The ones carrying them out like that ARE raising their children. The ones who don't raise their children cave in and therefore don't have that reaction.

Naturally, we wanted to hear her thoughts on what resources parents should look into if they are struggling with keeping their children in check. “We do know that parent training works, the caveats: the training needs. To understand child development the parent must be committed to learning and change. It is possible but it needs to be done in small nuggets with consistency.”

Smash it, whatever you have to pay the school will be worth your sanity.
“I love the parent training approach that teaches new behavior management in chinks like a tantrum and then discuss or try to apply that one strategy at home. and then go back to learn the next and next steps. Breaking change into smaller more manageable pieces and putting each step to practice is more likely to reap positive results.”

Of course, there are, unfortunately, enough cases where the parents really are at fault, so we wanted to know what are some common mistakes new parents make when raising a child. “We forget to recognize how stress mirrors down to our children. We need to watch our own selves. Kids are copycats!” she shared.
Sounds like my son. He reminded my wife that she promised to buy him a specific toy when she gets paid tomorrow. She promised him about 3 and a half weeks ago. Tomorrow they are going to buy this toy. Also he can never remember where he puts the thing he was just holding.

Load More Replies...I'm reminded of the AITA where a married guy preferred to "roll" his laundry rather than fold it, so he usually did it himself because *gasp* his wife preferred to fold, and when she "tried" to roll it, it didn't meet his exacting standards. At one point, he "had a big project" and asked her to get his laundry and put it on his bed. Thinking she was being nice, she folded it. He proceeded to unfold everything in front of her, yell at her for "doing it wrong," and seemed to ask "AITA?" as though he thought it was a legitimate question. You can imagine how the comments went.
"Yes, this would go twice as fast with you helping, and you'd get to fold your things exactly the way you want them."
I don't told clothes. My clothes are either dress clothes that hang, or normal clothes that go in the drawer in whatever form works. My kids get the same treatment. If they don't like it, they can do their own laundry. Also, there's one couch that is designated a dresser and most of their clothes never go in a drawer.
When I was in kindergarten I told my mom I didn't like the way she was folding my underwear, she threw them at me and said fine you do it. That was the day I had to start doing my own laundry.
Honestly that's the coolest towel I've ever seen. That kid and their parents rock.
they obviously sent an old and worn out towel with their kid in case it got lost/misplaced... and wouldn't you know it got misplaced.... but that is a cool towel, however inappropriate.
An old worn out towel nobody cares about? But that's SPUDS MCKENZIE!! That towel must be a beloved gem and I'm sure they are heartbroken over the lost of Spuds!

“Too often we react, not respond, to a child’s misbehavior. Calm responses instead of reactive yelling get better results. I tell parents to watch for reoccurring problems. Or sometimes we are most likely to get upset and then plan OUR new response to our child’s misbehavior. It’s hard to think about calm responses in the heat of the moment.”

I am soooo not looking forward to school traffic. Morning school traffic is the worst 🙄
Today was the 1st day of school in my town. The elementary school has drop off and pick up organized with military precision. I expected the middle and high school (2 buildings one campus) to be similar. It was NOT. Cars, busses, pedestrians, going in all directions, teen drivers who have apparently never heard of the concept of merging, people dropping kids off in random places, total chaos.
My son's school has the military precision PLAN, but the nouveau riche twatbaskets dropping off their little darlings don't think the plan applies to THEM.
Load More Replies...There's been a huge shift during my lifetime. When I was in school, your folks only dropped you off if you had a morning doctor's appointment
I don't understand the car lines at schools. These weren't a thing when I went. Most people walked or rode the bus. Now traffic is backed up for blocks twice a day every day for a couple of hours at a time. What changed?
From my, limited, research: conception of safety by parent in driving to school, lack of access to public transport, time, and being out of school boundaries all kind of increase parents driving kids to school.

“We often don’t have a thought-out response to misbehavior that lets children know what we want them to do instead. So they continue with the same inappropriate behavior. We fail to pass on our new behavior plan on to others who care about your child or see them regularly. Grandparents, your parenting partner, the daycare workers, teachers, etc. if you all respond the same way to misbehavior the child is more likely to change their behavior. Consistency counts!”
I work at a daycare. I don't even know what happened today either... 🤪
Not much teen drama in my house. Just teen dumbassery. Honestly I would accept more "I haaaaate it here!" if it meant that I could always find my phone.
“We forget to reinforce the child’s good attempts. “Thanks for stopping to listen,” or “I appreciate how you picked up your toys.” We’re far more likely to point out what the child is doing wrong and forget to share what we appreciate. Kids act how they see themselves. We fail to Identify the misbehavior - the aggression, talking back, rudeness, etc.”
My uncle passed away when I was 4-5 years old and was buried in a cemetery that we had to pass by every time we traveled between my grandma’s house and ours. When driving past the cemetery my sister and I would roll down the car window and scream “Bye uncle *name*”. Looking back I don’t think we kids understood what a cemetery is.
When my kid was little, he once volunteered to go to a cemetery with his grandma - she was going to go alone, but he asked her why, so she explained her mother and brother are there and she's bringing them some flowers. When they got back he was very disappointed "because the people that grandma mentioned, they weren't there!".

Load More Replies...“Watch the pattern and track it without the child knowing you’re doing it. I always suggest parents put a calendar in front of them. Then mark the time and place the behavior occurs. And what is there? Kids don’t misbehave all the time. Tune in and you'll see a pattern that you may miss. Like: It’s every day at 3. Maybe the child missed the nap. Or it’s on Tuesday and Thursday when the new daycare worker is there.”
Hell, some *parents* say this. "You mean your kid doesn't do exactly what you want them to do, exactly when you ask, and with a smile?"
Parents be like: And then this kid kicked my kid on the shin, when all my kid had done to him was punch him repeatedly in the face and stab him through the heart with a pencil. And my kid got in trouble - can you believe it? I'm going up to the school tomorrow to complain.
I have no kids thankfully. I was a baby sitter a few times. I knew better then and still do now.

Load More Replies..."Who does the child not misbehave with? Watch how the adult responds to the child and adopt that response. Make sure to teach a replacer behavior. Some kids get in the habit of misbehavior. And we assume they know what to do instead. Don’t assume. For instance, Instead of their rude response, stress “please” or “thank you.” But SHOW the new behavior in a calm moment, don’t lecture or tell it. Kids learn behaviors better by showing not telling them. And then practice practice practice until the child adopts the new behavior. Sometimes we try to teach too many new behaviors and it backfires."
I do this but leave out the insults. Just say "SOON YOU WILL BE DEFEATED!! MWUHAHAH"

I once made everyone wait around in drizzle because my then 5 year old nephew had been napping when we passed the mearcats and was sad but it was really far back. I carried him as fast as I could and was rewarded with his extreme excitement as he spotted.... a snail. He even drew a crowd of smaller kids to come join his wonder.
“If the misbehavior continues and you’re not seeing positive results, don’t wait! Seek the support of a professional in child development. And if the behavior continues every day for two weeks, spills over to other areas, or you are too concerned talk to a child psychologist or your pediatrician, don’t wait. We’re seeing an upsurge in depression and anxiety amongst even our youngest children. They won’t come and tell us they feel stress but act it out. Behavior can mean a cry for help.” Dr. Michele Borba is an educational psychologist and author of "Thrivers: The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine."

Judge Judy let him rant for a bit, then basically laughed him out of court.

I hadn't finished the paperwork before he started screaming so I tried to grab him back out - but I had yet to get the return token. I was like - but you just literally saw me put him in right? Would have been ok, except he started screaming for his mum. What was worse, he called me aunty but this was in another country so when asked if I was his aunty in his native tongue he said no. My mum came, but same problem to him she was grandma not yaya, that was his dad's mum. He was babbling in 2 languages, but shouting 'they are stealing me' I knew he meant the staff but they didn't. By now he is hysterical, but I could see staffs problem. In the end, they let me get in with him under the watch of security while my dad drove off to get my BIL. Once my BIL arrived, kids all smiles saying he has had a lovely day.
Before they had me, my parents had a couple of my older cousins for a weekend, and the younger one was really terrible in the car - screamed and fought every time they had to put her back in her car seat after stopping at a rest stop. Relevantly, the cousins were on my mom's side of the family, and the younger sister looked enough like my mom that people in the rest stops made comments about what cute daughters she had. She just said thank you instead of correcting them, because she figured if they thought the kids were hers, they wouldn't assume they were being kidnapped if they noticed the toddler screaming and clinging to the car door in the parking lot 😆
If you dont know this: if you slice fruit or vegetables and put it next to a kid, they will eat, eat and eat.
