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.

    Watching your child grow from a little bundle of joy to a full-grown adult is arguably the greatest adventure of them all. Going through all stages with the kid, from helping them to formulate their very first words to consoling them through the first—and likely the second, maybe even a couple after that—heartbreak, among many other things, is truly a rollercoaster of emotions.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But even with its ups and downs, the majority of moms and dads seem to enjoy the experience. Pew Research Center’s (PRC) recent study revealed that four-in-five parents find it not only enjoyable but rewarding, too.

    You ever stop to think that your view is the precise reason society has become some a dumpster fire? Self defeating cowards. You see something is going in a bad direction, and YOU have the opportunity to cause a change in course....but you're more worried about what could happen to you in the short term. "Someone might make loud noises....AT ME! For minutes! Nah....let another garbage person flourish, i'll just be over here telling myself what a good person i am for recognizing something i didn't do anything about" Shameful.

    Unfortunately, grown-up mean girls exist in every professional field -- lawyers, professors, nurses, engineers, etc. There's no academic degree, job title, or even age level that guarantees someone won't indulge in mean girl behavior. I used to work in senior citizen communities and witnessed 80-something mean girls still trying to set themselves up as the "cool crowd." (And, yes, there are mean boys, too, but people usually just call them bullies, or often excuse their mean behavior on the basis of gender)

    Pew Research Center also revealed that despite finding it rewarding, quite a few people say it’s tiring or stressful most or all of the time. Understandably so; from the moment their child is born, parents typically try their best to take care of their little one, which can get draining at times.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    That is because one can only listen to the happy-go-lucky songs of children's cartoons so many times; they can’t also be in the mood for hide and seek or ‘the floor is lava’ 24/7.

    To make matters worse, many parents would likely agree that from the moment their baby enters this world, it’s difficult not to worry about them; and such anxiety seems to accompany every step of their child’s way through life. All of that leads to more than 40% of parents feeling tired and roughly 30% feeling stressed, PRC reports.

I never realised until she brought it up, and I'm trying to break the habit, but everytime I'm looking for something, as I'm looking for it, I'll ask "Where is the ______?", almost as a reflex. I guess I mean "Have you seen______?", but it's starting to really annoy her, so I'm trying to change.

    Respondents of the PRC’s survey agreed that parenthood is not easy. For some, it might feel like a job and likely the hardest one there is, as the vast majority of parents admitted it was more difficult than they anticipated.

    That might be one of the reasons some people choose to have less children (or not to have them at all), consequently making families smaller than they were back in the day.

    Statista revealed that the average number of people per family in the 1960s, for instance, was around 3.67, but it has been decreasing steadily over the years, reaching the lowest point of 3.13 in the early 2000s—more or less where it stood just a couple of years ago in 2021, too.

    The size of one’s family has seemingly changed over the years, but what about the ways of parenting itself, you might wonder? Well, it’s probably not that surprising that the way people view their own upbringing differs with each family.

    While some people swear to learn from their parents’ mistakes and not to repeat them themselves, others view their upbringing as an example of how to raise their own children. And the scales seem to stand nearly even, with just 1% in favor of those seeking a different route from the one their parents took; surveys reveal that 43% would raise kids similarly to how they were raised, while 44% wouldn’t.

    You will shortly discover an even greater joy: Removing shoes and socks, and flinging them in every direction. Especially when outside the house. Toddler socks dropped on the pavement, toddler socks dropped in the supermarket. Toddler bare feet sticking up in the pushchair, with strangers asking "Don't his feet get cold?" and "Why doesn't mummy put shoes on you?" Safety pin those socks to trouser hems, or you'll never see them again.

    With mine it was hats. He refused to wear one and would immediately rip it right off. His great grandmother had a fit saying he was going to catch cold. Was I supposed to staple the damn hat to his head? She actually said "in my day children wore hats". Maybe in her day they tied those kids' hands behind their backs?

    Tell that to my 9-month old. That does nothing for her. What really makes her laugh is pulling her mother's hair and sticking her finger almost entirely up my nose.

    My 2yo still think it's the funniest thing in the world to take off her socks. And she will get upset if you try to put them on her again because if she has socks on she can't suck on her toes. 🤪

    Terrible lesson to teach a child. Teaches them that they can do/say whatever they want regardless of if it is true or not and they will be believed.

    Alternate take: It teaches a child that they are trusted. Treating someone as though they're trustworthy is one of the most effective ways to make them actually *be* trustworthy. Of course you verify when it really matters, but checking on *everything* your kid says they did will teach them that you don't trust them, which will make them hide things from you.

    “Our social world has changed since a generation ago. Parents who let their children walk alone to school are accused of neglect; we don’t live in neighborhoods where children are encouraged to run and play and assume that they will be okay, so parents have been trained to watch and monitor their children to a greater extent than a generation ago,” Professor of Psychology Miriam Liss told Bored Panda, expanding on some of the main differences in regards to raising children between now and then.

    “Another factor is the rise of social media,” Prof. Liss added. “On social media one can constantly see other people’s high-achieving children and parenting successes—no one posts the struggles—so parents can often feel as though their children are falling behind and feel as though they need to do what they can in order to help them succeed.”

    Had my son go stay at a babysitters house and she wasn't sure she would take him as he was an 'only' child (age 8 or so), but when we went to pick him up she just raved about him - he was so helpful with the other kids and so nice to be around. I'm SOOOO PROUD of the son I raised!!!!!

    When it comes to the things parents now would approach differently, the matters of love and relationships stand out the most. Nearly 44% of the surveyed moms and dads wouldn’t want to take the same route their parents did regarding it and say they would try to show more love and affection to their children than they received themselves.

    As for the things they would do the same way, adults with children nowadays would like to stick to the same values and beliefs that were instilled in them as kids.

    homeschooling is going well it seems. /s

    The matter of instilling certain values in children seems to be as relevant now as it ever was. That’s why quite a few moms and dads out there hope their kids will become honest and ethical human beings, first and foremost.

    They also hope their little ones grow up to be hardworking and helpful people, Pew Research Center reports; being tolerant and ambitious are also on the list.

    My 3 kids sleep in the same room and I usually just burst in half-yelling "goodmorning kiddos! It's time to get up!" And then I pick one to be the first I help get dressed and I tickle them for a while and then they will finally do as I say so i can help them get dressed and then that dressed kid will talk and talk while I try to wake up the 2nd kid and tickle them and help them get dressed, and thenthey talk and talk while I proceed to the 3rd kid. It's the same cycle every day. Lol. But I am sick of it. I would love to just say the hello kiddies-part and then having them just wake up and put on their clothes while I go downstairs and do other things. But I'm just an ungrateful parent. It's good that things are going as well as they are. I just want better... 🙄

    I have alarms on my phone that sounds every 15min. So there's a whole tradition now saying 1. The school bus is here in 30min 2. The school bus is here in 15 min 3. The school bus is here in about 10min now. Put on your shoes 4. The school bus is here in a few min. Go outside. 5. (Kid coming inside again) Argh! Go outside again! "But moooom" No! Your bus is almost here! Go outside. Now! "But moooom... my glove won't get on my hand. You must help me!" *helps kid* *kid runs outside and just barely catches the bus* *myblood pressure gets back to normal*. And we do this almost every morning!

    Omg my adult kids do this!! They get all uppity and say, very pointedly, "This dressing went bad two months ago!" My response is usually along the lines of, "See what you kids did to me? My eyesight is failing because I can't even read the dates on the bottle, and all my money has been sucked out of me so I can't buy new dressings...."

    Haha! My 4yo keeps asking me for words in Finnish. so we use the google translate a lot with the voice-thing pronouncing the words. What she actually means is words on our local dialect (fynsk. Finnish in Danish is finsk...). But I am going all in for her and I wouldn't be surprised if we end up as a family of five that just randomly learns Finnish fluently. 🤷‍♀️

    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.

    I feel this so much. I've said it on other posts but no tis this thread. The bus gets here at 7:35am. Both of my youngest are in middle school (Son, 13yo, 8th grade and daughter 12yo, 7th grade) so they ride the same bus. I wake them up at 6:30am. Then again at 6:45am, then again at 7:00am. Once they both rise from the sleeping death, my daughter will hop to it and be ready by 7:25am at which point I will remind her to maybe brush her teeth or brush her hair...nothing big time. However my SON will wander down to eat breakfast with a blanket around him at 7:15 and then rush out the door at 7:34am.

    My bus got in at 8.00 and it was a 10 minute walk to the stop. I would get up at 6.30 to make sure I was ready and at the stop at least 5 mins early. Any left over time I would read (actually I sometimes read while walking). My brother on the other hand, chose to ride his bike instead, which took half an hour. He should have gotten there by 8.30, but was always 10mins or so late, as he got up at 7.45 and always showered in the morning!

    I'm still a teenager then - best way to get me to not do something I've been putting off all day is to remind/nag me to do it.

    People, all these are meant to be funny. Please take them in that vein. Again, these are not meant to be serious. Develop a sense of humor and laugh, OK?

    But why? The younger kid isn't the older kid's responsibility. They're your responsibility.

    ever heard of date night? Or time alone with your spouse to just run to the grocery store together? I have 5 kids, 3 from a previous marriage and 2 with my current wife. They are 13yo and 12yo, so they don't really "watch" each other but growing up I had to watch my two younger siblings at times and I'm GenX.

    Yeah. I’m the oldest of 7. Gets better when the oldest can drive your kids too. And the dad is constantly on work trips. I hate it. Hateeeeee. I’m so tired.

    A tad nicer than 'I have not had enough coffee for you to talk this much'

    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.

    Mine chose dark red. When she was done my toes looked like the paper shedder and I had an argument

    I'm sure a psychologist somewhere is telling you how proud you need to be of a child who doesn't colour within the lines :)

    She may be colorblind. My dad didn't figure it out until his 60s when we were arguing about what color he had just painted his office.

    Mine didn't want to listen to the 'Yelling with a beat" either. However, she found a Duran Duran CD and thought they were pretty good. Ugh

    Relatable, my 8 year old was allowed to buy fireworks (I was paying) and he said: this is enough. Who exchanged my boy for this, this, monstrosity???

    There's an arrow next to the pump symbol on the petrol gauge that tells you where the tank is.

    In my car you'd need binoculars to see it and I'm not about to act like a loon in front of a full gas station bending down in my seat to squint at it for five minutes. And if I look for the arrow ahead of time, well, let's just say the other people driving don't exactly appreciate that.

    I yelled about the tv serving as the soccer goal in the living room soccer match. Does that count?
