30 Of The Funniest And Most Relatable Parenting Tweets Of The Month, December Edition
Interview
Kids are just like ghosts, lurking in the shadows and breaking things that you actually wanted intact. They’re with you whilst you shower, they watch you shave your legs, they critique your pancake flipping skills, and wake you up at 5am. They yell, they cry, and yet they’re the most precious little person that has ever blessed your life. A mini you to love, adore, and spoil to your heart's content.
Yet it’s a whole lot of work! Many parents have taken to the wonderful world of Twitter to express the frustrating joy about raising their children, making many laugh alongside them. Bored Panda has loved keeping up with all of these fabulous Twitter users, and so we’re bringing you December’s edition of their best tweets.
We’ve also gotten in touch with Krysten Taprell, a Psychologist, who’s known on the internet as The Therapist Parent. She very kindly agreed to answer some of our questions on parenting as a whole, so make sure you stick around for the interview!
As you proceed to scroll through this list, don’t forget to upvote your favorites and leave some comments, sharing your own parenting experiences. And if you’re curious to see our previous editions, here is the link to our October and September tweet compilations. Now let’s get into it!

Parenting changes lives. There is no question about it. Caring for a small human being that is completely helpless and in need of your continued support can become the sole purpose of one’s life. At least for a little while, until the child starts gaining independence, forging their own thoughts and dreams and doing their best to reach them.
But maybe it’s even more complex when the sentience starts kicking in and you actually start molding the child into an amazing and fully capable human being of the future. But how does one actually do that? There’s parenting methods out the wazoo and everyone seems to know best how one should be raising and disciplining their child, especially the random stranger standing next to you by the cashier.

My 4yo niece doesn't know the word "diarrhea" so she calls it "melty poop". And when she was a little younger, 2-3,, she used to get mad and do things that were hilarious, which of course made her even more mad. We would laugh and she apparently didn't know the phrase "stop laughing", so she'd yell "don't say 'haha'", which of course made it even funnier lol.

100%. I regularly have to fabricate a new description for something because the word has just up and left me. To be fair though, mine are far less creative than some of this. The one I regularly say wrong is "turn down the brightness", like on my phone. For some reason I've lost the word "brightness" often enough that "turn down the light volume" has kind of stuck around.

According to Krysten Taprell, a Psychologist with over 20 years experience working with children and families, otherwise known as The Therapist Parent on social media, the most important thing any parent can do is reflect on the way they were raised themselves. “If we don't stop and think about how we were parented, we are bound to repeat it,” she told Bored Panda.
“Chances are, these will also be your triggers as a parent—the thing that your child will do that really pushes your buttons,” she continued. “So again, it is good to think about how you want to handle it before it happens.”
Krysten believes that all parents should have an understanding of the basics behind child brain development and the fact that their expectations may be too advanced for what the child is capable of understanding. “Most of the time, they aren't trying to be difficult, they are responding with the skills that they have,” she said. But one fact remains undoubted: Bringing up children comes with having to discipline them and how one does it will influence the kids for the rest of their life.

As stated on VeryWellFamily, researchers have identified four different types of parenting styles and how each tends to affect the child’s development. They are: Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive, and Uninvolved. We will focus on a type of parenting, which sits under the Authoritative parenting umbrella and that is Gentle parenting.
Authoritative parents usually have rules and they use consequences, but they also take their children's opinions into account. It assumes children are born good and with the desire to do the right thing, although their reasoning may sometimes lead to misbehavior.

Our sofa started having some problems, so we could either diy a fix, or look for a new one. Then I remembered we have a cat. So I recently learned that sofas aren't much more than a basic wood frame and upholstery. Assuming you've got a staple gun to put back the upholstery and a drill and some screws to reinforce wood that is coming unstapled, fixing a sofa is pretty easy and a lot cheaper than buying a new one. Bonus, my cat gets to keep his favorite scratching post. 🙄

I will get my husband to call him. He does all our laundry. Of course he is retired.
A lot of discussion has been had online about the “gentle” type of parenting, many believing that kids are not given a sufficient amount of discipline for their poor actions. However, as Krysten explained, there is a huge misunderstanding about discipline and punishment. “Discipline means to teach and guide. Punishment is to hurt or harm someone for doing something wrong,” she told Bored Panda.
“Our goal as parents is to teach our children and guide them through life,” Krysten continued. “That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have boundaries. Gentle parenting has clear boundaries, but you don't have to use punishments to enforce them.”

sounds like this s****y mental hospital i was in as a teen. every other 2 hrs, for 2 hr. we had "room time" were basically we had to stay in our rooms and not come out. all we could do was was tv, or read. compared to the adult facilities. I was in l8r. sure we only had 1 tv in the common room. but atleast we could spend the rest of the fuking time. ( when we whernt in groups) doing whatever the hell we wanted to. talk to each other, play borad games, inclosed patio. its like the staff at the pediatric psych , gave ZERO F**S!! and all the rooms (like class rooms and dift group type rooms) they were always empty. its like they're just there to make it look good for the higher ups.
In a blog post from 2020, Krysten explained the reasons why punishment doesn't work. “Children need guidance and direction. They need to be taught what is right and what is wrong, but they don't need to be hurt in the process,” she explained. We learn how to act in society by mirroring those that raise us.
“When we punish a child, they focus on what is happening to them rather than what they did that was wrong in the first place. They become more selfish and don't develop empathy for others,” Krysten stated. “Punishment actually encourages children to lie and avoid punishment rather than avoiding the behavior you are trying to stop.”
So instead of punishment, Krysten believes parents should work with their children “and not be an authority to cause fear, but someone that will help them develop to the same moral standard we have.” Of course, parenting doesn’t come easily or naturally to everyone; the parent themselves will have to learn their boundaries.

And I have the major urge to turn around during any kind of s*x scene because my mom had me doing that for movies I didn't even want to watch until I was an adult and even then she tried to make me do it on movies I actually wanted to watch and I could finally tell her heck no 🤣
As Krysten said, “there is no ‘fool proof’ way to parent. We all make mistakes. It doesn't matter who you are. The important thing is that we apologize to our children when we need to and keep connection in the relationship.” She believes that this can also be an incredible learning opportunity in humility and honest communication.
“We are going to get it wrong sometimes, that is guaranteed. But this doesn't have to cause shame and guilt. It can be an amazing opportunity to teach your child,” Krysten concluded. We’re very grateful for her insight and if you’d like to learn more, you can check out her Instagram and Facebook pages, as well as her website.

And my sister has strep again so it’s likely we’ll all have it again.

Two weeks before Thanksgiving, my daughter caught RSV.

The way 3rd grade elementary math is taught in the school district where I substitute teach in is confusing for those of us who simply memorized the times tables way back when. Instead, these kids have to learn a bunch of methods for solving 4x6 instead of memorizing - which take up a lot of class time. One kid's parents taught him the times tables. He was best at math by a wide margin. Surprise, surprise.

When my kids were small, wake up for Christmas was not until the sun was up.

I'm getting my kid his own tree as well. Not so much because he messes up the main one but because I do a different matching theme every year and I think he should be able to decorate his own with keepsakes and mismatched fun stuff. That way we both get our joy. He does love our tree this year which is silver and midnight blue themed.

I filled in for an admin assistant at the zoo for two weeks one summer in high school. Used to hike down to the zoo for lunch. One afternoon I saw a group of kids laughing, pointing and running back and forth across the walking path. It was a chipmunk.

My dad had a coworker who's grandchild somehow got a penguin into her backpack at the zoo (or aquarium, can't remember), took it home, and put it in the bath tub with water all without the parents knowing.

Co worker's child did that. His brother's wedding, which he was in. Hour and a half from their house. Arrived, kids all dressed up, and discovered oldest son was not wearing shoes. He left them at home. The nine year old had to sit through the ceremony without shoes, then my co worker caught a ride to the reception while his wife ran out to buy the kid a pair of shoes.

I get it just like Nona Wolf. I watch cooking shows and then I don't cook.

I used to cut breakfast sausages from one end, so that they would look like octopuses. One way to get my (then) toddler to eat, don't judge me. Anyway, my son would cut away the "heads" because "they were disgusting".

Ok I need to say this to you but someone keeps on disliking your comment and they’re not even that bad. But I noticed it’s only happening with you and no one else and they’re not inappropriate comments. Just wanted to tell you I don’t like people who hate for no reason Edit=I keep on liking the comments so it doesn’t look bad

Oh my, yes, we underestimate this! Parents make a big deal over milestones like first step, first word, tying shoes, riding a bike. But honestly, the moment when you realize you can no longer pick-up and carry your child, that is life-changing.

Bigger snub is when she tells you she's unavailable until the kid turns eighteen

My 7yo was once having a heated political discussion on my FACEBOOK WALL with my old friend from high school. The only reason I had kept the account was so she could play Farmville. Bonus points: she had been quoting her Ultra-MAGA, FOX and Friends loving grandparents.

I feel like you need to have a discussion with your kid.

How do you actually pronounce his name? I am curious but not curious enough to google.

Old Boobs? Mickey Bubbles? Michael Booble? I imagine people look at him suspiciously if he has to actually use his real name.

Also yesterday’s interaction in public. I’ll preface this by saying my son has very long hair and it was not tied back. So we were out getting him some new clothes as he is having a growth spurt. We pick up some jeans which look like they will fit when out of nowhere some random woman tells me “this is the boys section”. I reply “yes, I know.” She said again that it’s the boys section. My son goes over to her and shouts “IM A BOY!!” So the lesson there is mind your own business. As my wife pointed out, we could have been buying those clothes for someone else as a gift

Also boy clothes in most cases are better made, fit better and have actual pockets, so random woman really should mind her own business!

My son came down from his room at 10.30 last night. We asked if he was ok or had a bad dream. He said he was ok. My wife asked why he came down. “I farted” was his reply. Then he went back up to bed.

I went to school with a kid who cleared a classroom twice because he farted and it smelled like an open sewer. Like literally, it was so bad that the teacher took all of us out in the hall for a few minutes and went back in and opened the windows and sprayed and entire can of air freshener. If this kid is anything like that, maybe he just need some fresh air lol.
