Kids can be the best. They might fill your life with joy and meaning. They can make you laugh and ugly cry with their firsts. Those same kids, however, can also be the worst. They can test your patience and make you question your sanity every single day. So ultimately all parents need to vent at some point.

X (Twitter) is one of the best places for parents to share their realities. It’s a tradition here at Bored Panda to present to you the best selection of parenting posts every month. September is no exception, so scroll down and see the gems that the parents on X (Twitter) have shared this month!

Is that the way to scare the cr*p out of a little kid?? Kids today are too smart for that. It makes a better joke than a scare tactic. Better now to say: "be back in 5 minutes or I throw your phone out the window."

    My mom LOVES fitness games. When we had our Wii, she was always on Wii Sports. She was the most upset when the Wii broke (Two disks and a cookie in it). My dad decided one Christmas to get her Ring fit adventure. His coworkers told him he was gonna die. My mom loved it and she still plays it.

    Oscar Wilde wrote in The Picture of Dorian Gray: “Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.” Most parents can enjoy the fruits of their hard labor only after many years have passed. And it really is true that most parents are in the trenches every day. Luckily, there’s places to share your struggles and cool off for just a moment – like scrolling through these funny and relatable posts about parenting.

    The most important thing for all parents to remember is that there are no perfect parents. Most parents-to-be are wrong to think that they will be better at this parenting thing than their friends. Very early on in their journey, they have to learn the hard way that there is no such thing as a perfect parent.

    Sounds like the type of mom who will keep at it until the kid trys to spend it only on what she wants the kid to buy with it. S**t like that will forever harm the kid to the point to where they'll go hungry before they spend the last of their money on a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a half gallon of milk.

    It’s natural for children to have problems in their behavior. Healthy Children reports that on average, school-age children have five or six traits that their parents find difficult to deal with. Some of them might be plain old refusing to do chores, not listening to simple requests, and playing video games or watching TV for too long.

    Some children that can be hard to parent might fall between two sides of a spectrum. A child might want too much independence or, on the contrary, might not have achieved enough autonomy. Both can be the result of certain parenting techniques, but that’s not to say there is no way to correct that behavior.

    Good on you. Also have them practice loudly saying: "No means No!" and "Stop touching me!" and yelling "Help Me! This is not my parent!" or "Stranger danger!" Because too many times kids freeze when something happens, or they're oversocialised to be obedient or polite to adults and not make a scene.

    Oh, my MIL was SO pissed, when I rescued my then around 3 year old from her. She actually wanted to prevent him from escaping her by holding his arm tight. She takes everything I do personally, so she said I didn‘t want my kids liking her or some such nonsense. When leaving I asked my kid if he wanted to hug her and he did on his own volition. Of course she took that as a victory for herself or something. You could see it in her expression. *eyeroll*

    Healthy Children recommends to stop striving to be a perfect parent. It’s totally normal to feel inadequate, overwhelmed or guilty over what your child has done. It’s important to allow yourself to feel simple emotions such as anger, worry or shame. Parents know their children best – ultimately, they’re the ones that know them the longest. Thus it is natural to trust your instincts as a parent to know what is best for your child.

    Yeah... I don't have kids, but I wouldn't feel entirely comfortable allowing my 17-year-old to go to a party where the majority of the attendees are likely to be 21+ years old. There will ABSOLUTELY be alcohol at that party, and even if sis was planning on using her bro as a designated driver, I'm not sure the 17-year-old could have the intestinal fortitude to resist underage drinking. I know I didn't at that age XD

    It’s a trap! She’s setting him up for something. Possibly to be a designated driver for a sober ride home. Ultimately, still worthy of parent of the year.

    Many parents feel insecure and think: “How do I know if I’m a good parent?” Children’s Trust program One Tough Job names knowing how to forgive oneself as one of the traits that good parents possess. Showing yourself love in other ways – celebrating your accomplishments and taking care of your health and wellbeing – are other two. There’s no shame in asking for help – whether it’s from a professional, or from a family member. In order to raise well-adjusted kids, their parents have to be healthy, recharged and rested.

    Yep. I couldn't draw human beings when I was a kid (still can't) and I didn't LIKE drawing them either. So I would draw animals on bday/Mother's Day/xmas cards instead - sometimes our pets, sometimes our family drawn as dogs XD One year when I was maybe 6 or 7, for my mom's Christmas card, I drew a "choir of angels" singing, except the angels were our pets at the time. I'm 41 now and I STILL haven't forgotten that she took one look at the card, threw it on the table, and said to me, "Don't draw anything for me until you're ready to stop drawing so many ANIMALS and you're ready to draw PEOPLE." I never drew anything for her ever again. And it still hurts that she said that.

    The children’s trust program also advises to raise your kids with love. That applies to discipline too: “You discipline your children with words that are instructive, not destructive, and caring, not callous. You understand that your children need love and guidance, and you treat them fairly when they make mistakes.” It’s also important to show your children love with everyday gestures or three simple words: “I love you.”

As a preteen, I developed severe insomnia that lasted into adulthood. Had I been given the comfort and reassurance I needed, perhaps things would have been different.

    Research has found that out of the four most popular parenting styles, authoritative (sometimes also called positive) parenting is the most effective. It’s called “the sweet spot” between authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. Authoritative parents establish rules and boundaries, but they enforce them through honest discussions and reasoning.

    While authoritarian parents are strict and don’t negotiate, authoritative parents try to reach an understanding through explaining possible outcomes, pros and cons of a decision. According to the aforementioned study, children of authoritative parents grow up to be more confident and might achieve better academic success. They’re also better at problem-solving and may have better social skills.

    Breakfast is where you break your fast (not eating since the previous night). The first thing you eat each morning is breakfast, so you can't have a snack before breakfast. You agreed that Oreos aren't for breakfast, therefore gimme the package of cookies! I'm hungry!

    However, parenting is not an exact science and there are no guarantees that one parenting style will work better for everyone. Child psychologist Francyne Zeltser wrote for CNBC: “There’s a difference between parenting styles and parenting practices. A parenting style is the emotional climate in which you raise your child, and a parenting practice is a specific action that parents employ in their parenting.” It’s okay to borrow different practices from different styles and apply them according to the situation.

    How did this word become so common? I asked my son (then 5) if he wanted a sandwich for lunch, and he said, "no bread. Just crackers. And don't slice the cheese so thin. Ya know, like a charcuterie." So I sarcastically asked him if he wanted some wine. Pointing to the grape juice, he said, "it's a recent vintage but very full-bodied." Yeah, I told him that wine comes from grape juice, but we do NOT talk like this! My wife (jokingly?) blamed the Episcopalian pre-school.

    Anyone who thinks gender is just a social construct should've seen the nursery school when a garbage truck went by. Every boy went running to the window and not a girl batted an eye. OK, I guess if there'd been a bigger class, there would've been exceptions, but I was still amazed.

    That's likely to do with the way they were socialised (boys being taught that cars and trucks are cool with garbage truck toys, and girls being taught to be cleanly and having more home oriented or fashion toys). The toys often given to boys and girls affects their interests, and therefore their socialisation, so that itself is not proof that gender is not a social construct. (Edit: missed out an important word)

    My boyfriend INSISTS that the nasty yellow pee-splatters on the inside of the toilet seat/toilet back/lid and the FRONT of the toilet bowl are "also" from me peeing and NOT just from him peeing. Because the water splashes when a woman pees into the water in the bowl I guess? I'm like bro, my heiny/thighs are literally BLOCKING the back and front, so there's no way that my splashes are hitting the TOILET LID or the FRONT of the bowl. That's ON YOU. (Also, even if I was splashing, it'd be diluted pee with water and not very OBVIOUSLY nasty dark-yellow splatters.) I mean, he's good about cleaning the toilet (...occasionally) but I am just sick of him trying to blame the pee-splatters on me as well. My mom trained my dad to sit down VERY early on in their relationship, apparently XD

    It would take before they were picked up as she couldn't deal with them. They were excited and loud. From where their friends lived it was a 45 minute drive to the hospital and she called him 15 minutes after he left. She continued to call him every 15 minutes and asked them to hurry up. First and last time she babysat for them lol. Yes I get exhausted with their high energy but I don't go calling my daughter to come and get their kids. I usually have them a couple of times a month for 24 hours at a time but because of the pandemic with no schools or daycare open I was her only help with the kids as he was working all the time.

    When my daughter was heavily pregnant with her last baby she had contractions and her partner would drive her to the hospital and had to wait in the car as it was in the middle of the pandemic. 3 nights running because within an hour of being at the hospital her contractions stopped and she got sent home which meant I had my grandkids for 3 nights and 4 days with them being picked up after she got home from the hospital but as the parents were tired, no sleep, I ended up with her 2 kids with me all the time. Next time she went in she had her baby girl and was in hospital overnight. Her partner came and picked up the kids and I felt absolutely awful and totally exhausted and I told him that but that as he was taking them home to sleep that they could come back the next day for a few hours while he picked up my daughter and granddaughter. They decided to leave the boys with their very good friends. I found out later that he hadn't even got to the hospital before their friend was calling

    I loved playing the violin. We were asked what instrument we wanted to learn how to use in music class, I think I was 8, and I said violin because I was very into little house on the prairie and Pa Ingalls played the violin. School provided the instruments and we could take them home to practice. I sucked at the beginning, it took about a month until I could actually play decent. 42 years later I still think of everyone who had to hear me try to play 2 hours a day. Oops

    Haha I do that with my grandkids. If they don't eat all the food they put on their plate they put the leftovers in a tupperware box and they know that instead of snacks they have to eat the leftovers

    I don't care how the dishes are done as long as they're clean and dry at the end of the day.

    A little hint that I didn't learn until my second baby, but if you take off a nappy and it's not as wet/dirty as you would have expected, hold your baby over the toilet (or a little potty) and make a psss pssss psss sound. If there is anything ready to go, they can't help themselves. Hold them with their back against you, facing out, and your hands under their thighs, so their knees are above the level of their hips. If getting it all directly to the toilet/potty appeals, try doing it directly after a feed too. Babies almost never 'go' while feeding, so have them nappy free, then as soon as they are finished, over the toilet/potty and psss psss psss, and Bob's your uncle. I did all this with my second, and by the time he could walk he was literally completely potty trained and we could dispense with nappies altogether.

    Believe me, you doged a bullet there. My wife is a therapist which means she knows exactly how everything we do and say to our children could probably affect their minds and thus ruin their lifes. You won't believe to what extent I have to be careless and irresponsible every day to compensate for this.

    I did take child psych in college. And I have no kids. Coincidence? I think not.

    But no amount of theory can prepare you for practice!
