Parenting is a never-ending adventure. One day moms and dads might be fighting monsters under the bed, the other, hopping from furniture to furniture, avoiding the lava that has unexpectedly flooded the floor. Sometimes they get to play the role of a sage trying to answer the centuries-old question, will my toddler ever eat his veggies?

These are just a few of the many quests parents take upon in their day-to-day lives with kids. Luckily, some of them document and share fragments from it, which often results in some quite amusing accounts. We have combed through X (formerly Twitter) in search of the best of them and put them on this list for you today. So wait no longer, scroll down to find them, and enjoy the November edition of parenting posts of the month.

In order to delve deeper into the subtleties of parenting, Bored Panda got in touch with a Professor of Psychology at the University of Mary Washington, Miriam Liss, who was kind enough to answer a couple of our questions. You will find her thoughts in the text below.

    Totally not worth the effort. You'll get screamed on and it will be pointed out to you in a very unpolite way that her perfect and soon to be successful daughter is absolutely none of your concern.

    Ok guys I can’t be the only parent here. Parents talk secretly behind their kids’ back, so there’s a very good chance that he got a memo informing that he was going to get a pie in the face and be very surprised AND quite amused.

    At the risk of sounding like a parent-shamer: Don't ever set the "don't tell ____" precedent. "No secrets" should be policy! We don't even use the word "secret" in our household. Predators rely on these type of precedents existing to continue their abuse. Instead, replace "secret" with "surprise" when possible (even in stories). Also, when they're older, discuss how "we don't have secrets in our house to keep [you] safe." Source: my journalist SIL did an investigative piece and learned this from some of the experts.

    So my school goes from preschool to eigth grade so the the grade I'm in (which is in middle school) has to be paired up with a kindergartener for a "buddies" program. Since there's too many kids in my grade we are also partnered up with one of our peers to share a buddy. My girl (who's an actually a sweetheart) is really into princesses and c**p. So when we were on the playground she was like "Let's play princesses. I'm the princess" So when I asked where her castle is she looked me dead in the eye and said "You're my castle" I can't rn with 5 y/os.

    Could be an indicator of tritanomaly. Tritanomaly makes it hard to tell the difference between blue and green and between yellow and red. Could be a kid being a kid.
