Moms and dads are superheroes. That doesn’t mean they’re incapable of burning a grilled cheese, crying or accidentally letting their kids go to school wearing their clothes inside out. That just means that no matter how challenging it is to balance everything, they somehow do. And what’s even more incredible is that many of them manage to maintain a great sense of humor along the way too.
If you’re a parent who feels guilty about not waking up at the crack of dawn every day to prepare pancakes, bacon and eggs for your little ones, first of all, don’t. And second of all, you’re not alone! We’re back with a new edition of the most hilarious parenting tweets of the month down below. So enjoy scrolling through while you hide in the bathroom from your toddler, and keep reading to find a conversation with CJ Kelsey, aka That Mom Tho!

I actually spoke with an actor's mom who grew up in our little town. He asked her for any preppy photos of himself cause his character was supposed to be well to do and she said she had to tell him, "honey, we're hippies. I'm not sure I have any photos with you in shoes"

Me: Mom, we’re going on national television and they thought it’d be sweet if you shared your favorite pictures of me as a child. That being said, please pick good ones alright? Mother: “😈 Yes my son. I’ll only pick my favorite ones. I want everyone to see how cute and darling you were 😈😈😈”

Ah yes - I remember when my toddler daughter made a discovery worthy of sharing with everyone else in the ladies room at Target. “Mommy - you have hair on your front bottom”, she said in her precious loud and sharp voice. I did enjoy the giggles from the ladies in other stalls.

I remember when I was a kid I was at a hotel and every couch, every counter, I would say, Look at this! This (ITEM) is amazing!!!
No one has ever said being a parent is easy. Essentially all of your free time (and disposable income) is now dedicated to taking care of your little ones, and there’s no compensation or appreciation involved. Being a mom or dad never stops being challenging, no matter how much people want to tell you “it gets better after the terrible twos!” It’s messy and exciting and exhausting and rewarding. It’s all worth it to have a mini-me who loves you more than anything in the world and who you get to watch grow into an amazing person that you’re proud of.
But one essential trait parents need to ensure they can get through the day without ripping out their hair or dying from embarrassment is a great sense of humor. You can’t sweat the small stuff, and you have to be able to admit that you’re never going to be perfect. (Anyone who says they are is lying!) And it’s much better to laugh through the pain and exhaustion than to try to keep it all together. A great parent is just someone who’s doing their best.

I went to Japan with my 18-month-old daughter. Journey there was a nightmare (I didn't realise she was coming down with a cold) - I thought we might just emigrate to save us the trip home. But the actual time in Japan was amazing (not my first time there but it was my first time with a kid). Such a child-friendly place. The journey back, thankfully, was a dream.

Unless you are fleeing persecution, permanently moving, or the trip involves someone whose dying, don't take a baby on a plane. Anything else can wait until they are older.

"We'll just go camping with the kids," he said. "So we can relax and let everything be," he said. "Not worry about cleaning and chores for a few days," he said. ... Yeah, right. Who's going to be doing all the packing, checking the tents, beds and sleeping bags? And who do you think is going to do all the washing, cleaning, drying and re-folding of camp gear? AND catch up with all the chores that have not been done while we were camping????

I used to pretend to be a little girl for my grands. The first time they were awed then came the questions then the suggestions. I wound up playing with dolls, I didn't play with dolls when I was a toddler. I always played with my brothers toys.
To learn more about what it’s like to be a fabulous parent who’s open online about the joys and struggles of having kids, we reached out to CJ Kelsey, also known as That Mom Tho on Twitter and Instagram. CJ is a mom of two who works in the healthcare industry and has been able to grow a following online through sharing her hilarious experiences. She was also kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about the importance of being able to laugh as a parent.
“A sense of humor definitely helps because parenting can be hilarious!” CJ shared. “Children are naturally honest and curious– these two traits combined lead to a great deal of funny situations.”

My eleven year old babysits her 6 yo sister occasionally. Never for longer than like an hour or so and it's always her choice if she wants to do it or not, unless it's genuinely super important and I have no other option, which has only ever happened like once. I don't want her to feel resentful towards me or her sister or for her to feel like she's being used as slave labor. Both my kids are extremely smart and self sufficient, for their ages, and my 11yo gets mistaken for a teenager on a regular basis, based on both her looks and her personality. So I guess my point is, some kids can be trusted to handle that responsibility at a young age, it would just need to be determined on a case by case basis.

We were also curious about how CJ got started sharing hilarious parenting stories and experiences online. “I started my Twitter account as a place to make jokes anonymously and never expected it to lead to anything,” the mom shared. Today, however, she has over 47k followers on Twitter, nearly 18k on Instagram, and 13k followers on Facebook!
And as far as what she loves most about her online presence, CJ says, “My favorite response to anything I write is when someone tells me they thought they were alone in their experience and happy to read I am going through the same thing.”

It’s just so hard not to yell out your child’s full name, especially when you tell them they can’t have Goldfish right now. Minutes later, you hear said Goldfish being knocked over and poured all over the ground in the kitchen…

I can understand, from the child’s view XD My dad rarely yelled at me (my mom was/is abusive to both of us, so my dad rarely yelled.) But the few times he DID get mad at me when I was a kid I can remember him saying my name - loudly - in two perfectly-split syllables: “CRYS-TAL!!” My mom always called me “Cryssie” (a nickname I hated) so I knew when my dad pulled out the full first name, he was mad!

Yeah, the time when you're the best parent is always BEFORE you have kids, when you're just imagining how you're going to be. My big thing was always "I want to encourage curiosity and rational discussion, so even if my kid asks a million questions I will never ever answer them with 'because it just is' or 'because I said so'". I look back on that and laugh. When you're on the 15th "but why?" when you've asked them a million times to brush their teeth and you've already tried explaining dental hygiene to no avail, "because I said so!" is definitely in my vocabulary

I went for a shower, called a taxi and went to the hospital myself after my water broke. Husband followed later after arranging childcare for our older daughter (middle of the night, premature birth) and only just arrived in time to see our son born. This was after I had a nasty reaction to some anaesthetic. He also had to leave straight after because of the haemorrhage so I might really as well have been on my own! With Covid restrictions in the hospital, our daughter couldn't visit so it was all complicated. He might as well have stayed with her. I got a taxi back with boychik two days later (I probably should have stayed in a bit longer).

We all know there’s no such thing as a perfect anything, let alone a perfect parent. But that doesn’t stop countless mommy bloggers and family vloggers from trying to portray their lives as effortless and flawless. 6 out of 10 parents say they feel pressure from social media to be perfect moms and dads, and 40% of moms admit they compare themselves to the curated lives of parents they see online.
We teach our children how harmful social media is and that comparison is the thief of joy, but why is it so hard to practice what we preach? Part of the reason we love sharing these “parenting tweets of the month” articles (aside from the fact that they’re hilarious) is because we want to remind you panda parents that you’re not alone!

When it comes to some of the “mistakes” every parent makes, Steven John at Insider says there are 30 extremely common ones that no mom or dad will be able to avoid. (And that’s okay!) These include letting our kids fall or get hurt, packing our children’s schedules too full, giving our little ones too many choices to make, forgetting important items when going to school or soccer practice, praising them too much, and trying to talk above them. “Kids catch onto more than you think, despite the diction enabled by your sagacity, and can end up hearing things little ears shouldn't,” John writes.

You know, I always thought I would only have one child. I had my daughter and thought she's perfect, I'm done. One day, when she was about three, she said something about her brother. I said but you don't have a brother. And she said: "I used to play with him all day before I came here and met you and daddy and I really miss him". About two years later, I had a little boy.

Two years ago we took our then 6yo son to Utrecht for the first time to meet my dad, aunts/uncles & cousins. I speak punctuated Dutch randomly at home and before the trip he learned some basic conversation via the Mango & Duolingo apps. He immediately walked up to the fireplace in the family home and in perfect dialect told my dad that’s where he ran into the rock & got a gash in his head and that’s why he was called “Bot Bot” as a child. My dad has a prominent scar on his forehead from running into this fireplace when he was 3. I’d not remembered the story & had never discussed it with my kid. It was a little eerie that he seems to know all about this event & was able to talk about it so fluently.

My niece regularly spoke to and mentioned my late Uncle as a toddler. I don't even think she would be old enough to remember him since she was 2 or 3 when he passed. Apparently he visited her quite often. Oddly, I could swear I have seen him and his late wife in Walmart (her absolute FAVOURITE place) a few times as well.

I get this is a joke (sorta) but I think it's trash when parents teach their children to have no integrity just to save a couple of bucks. I've watched it play out and the parents are less happy when the child starts using casual lies on them. or doesn't understand why one kind of stealing is okay but the kind they did isn't.
Mary Peace 2 years ago
Yes, I think it's a slippery slope from 'white lies' to dangerous lies about e.g. spending time with someone who might hurt a child. I always told the truth because I was scared of the consequences if I lied. I didn't understand the 'thrill' kids get when they lie and get away with it.

I’d give a silly answer when my son was little which was obviously untrue even to him and he’d giggle. (“Where does the mail come from.? It comes out everytime dad sneezes.) Then when he questioned my answer and said “no it doesn’t,” I’d shout “You can’t handle the truth.” Very Jack Nicholson like and of course he never understood. No one else did either but I cracked myself up.

When I was 14 (I think) school group of us went to the cinema. I think the film was The Great Gatsby, and you had to be at least 14. All I remember is each child went up and bought their own ticket, and when it was my turn, the woman would not believe I was the same age as the rest of the class. The teacher had to come and vouch for me.

I think the issue here is also about the segregation of children with disabilities. Own schools, transportation, programs, leisure activities ect. Many kids just never get in contact with kids with disabilities as they are being almost hidden from society
Mary Peace 2 years ago
I think - and hope - that is changing. At least in the UK, many kids with disabilities are in mainstream schools with extra support. Sadly some need support but don't get it, but I think it's good for the 'able-bodied' kids to see not everyone can run about, or hear clearly, or whatever.

They are. It's random and no one's fault, but 1 in 5 people have a disability. It's like the only group you can join at any time but it's involuntary. As a disabled person I'm still telling a kid it's unlikely, but if it happens you will adapt. If you live into very old age, disability is guaranteed.

Buffy (the main character of a television series about vampires and magic and all that) was an only child throughout the first seasons. Then all of a sudden there are scenes of her with a sister (Dawn) in the house, without any explanation about why she has a sister all of a sudden, without any of the characters acknowledging that there is this new person in the house. They act like she has always been there her whole life, I actually thought I had missed some episodes because I didn't understand why it wasn't explained where she came from. But then later you find out that someone planted the sister in this house and put fake memories into all the character's heads, so they all thought that she had had that sister for 15 years. I don't fully remember why it was done, I think maybe the sister was some kind of holy key that needed to be protected because the world would go down or something if evil people found her, so disguising her as a human was the safest option, something like that.

Apparently, it worked though, because 12 years later and he hasn't found a vegetable he doesn't like!

We only got to have Maccas on holiday, so that was the excitement we would talk about, but that's not really the memories that stuck with me after the fact. Mind you, on one trip it was the trip to the shopping centre that was one of my favourite things. That was because the trip was planned around my little brother, because Make-a-wish paid for it. We went to Queensland, so of course the theme parks were a big draw, and we went to three of them. I don't really like theme park rides (or crowds) so all I wanted to do was go to the beach, but our itinerary didn't have much time for it and when it did the weather was too cold, so we didn't go. Was the trip of a lifetime for my brother though, which was the most important part. I still hold onto the image of his face when we were able to get him onto some of the faster rides.

There's the chicken nugget Amazon truck!" These are now the names I will be using to reference each item.
