30 Of The Funniest And Most Relatable Parenting Tweets Of The Month, December Edition
InterviewKids 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!

Out of 365 days, i think I only can find 10 matching pairs of socks.... the rest have been turned into Tupperware lids that have no match.
If he keeps it up, he can be a future New York Republican congressman.
I thought laundry did itself? What happens between the basket and the pile that no one is keen to fold, is a mysterious void.
Childless weirdo, here. It's actually possible to pee through a diaper? How?
I am reading this while slowly dying from severe flu my son brought home for Christmas
*goes everywhere without kid(s) [because I don't have any] and hear whining sprogs and think "Phew! Dodged a bullet there!"
Copyright that immediately and sell bottled mimosas, it will pay for his college.
My father used to draw an outline around my feet to buy my shoes.
When they leave home, trust me, you’ll have pyjama days. Pure bliss
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.
The way my great grandson holds his, it should be called a slippery cup
Mine was up till 3 so she graciously gave me an extra hour and slept till 6
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.
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 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".
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
Those chairs are comfy, though. I've threatened to buy one for the family room.
My parents used to say they would but a sign by the door that says do not come Santa they were bad we would get so mad and listen right away
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!
Load More Replies...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.
