Dad Of 4 Girls Tweets Conversations With His Daughters, And It’s Impossible Not To Laugh At Them (50 New Tweets)
If we were to look at numbers alone, it would be clear that James Breakwell is one of the most popular family content creators on the internet. With over a million followers on Twitter alone, his stuff reaches people from all over the world. But as impressive as it is, the size of his fan army isn't the reason why we at Bored Panda adore him so much. It's Breakwell's actual material that sets him apart, which is unlike the recycled pseudo-inspirational clickbait you so often see on parenting blogs. Take his tweets for example. Sharing snippets from the conversations he has with his daughters, James paints a funny and sincere picture of his household, and you don't need to have kids to enjoy them. His humor is universal.

We managed to get in touch with James and he was kind enough to tell us more about his family.
"I would describe my parenting style as one of loving neglect," the dad explained to Bored Panda.
"I’m the opposite of a helicopter parent. I’m more of an observe-from-a-safe-distance parent. That way, my kids develop a sense of independence and learn from their mistakes, all while I’m outside the blast zone."

Breakwell thinks it may have been his own folks who shaped him as a father.
"My own parents were very laid back. They never pressured me in any way, yet I excelled at many things. I also failed—hard—at an exhaustive list of activities," he said.
"My mom and dad gave me the freedom to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do. That’s a large part of the reason I’m a comedy writer today. So basically they ruined my life."

I only know how long ago the 90s were because all my kids were born then. Then I cry to myself when I realize my oldest is 30 now

I'm literally 13 and it hurts a little when somebody says the 00's were a long time ago- Like I didn't even fully experience 00's, I was only in it for 2 years and I couldn't even walk for most of it, but it still hurts a bit 😅

Do not worry. My son said he was listening to old school. I asked him what he was listening to and he said Eminem, lol. I am just about to dig my grave.

A few weeks ago I was at my younger cousin’s birthday party and I was listening to my nostalgic playlist that while I was on the swings. A nine year old came over and said I was listening to oldies music. I asked why they thought Taylor Swift was old(because her music makes like at least 30% of all my playlists and I was listening to love story) and the kid said “that song your listening to is at least 20 years old. I told them that song originally came out in 2008 and that version I was listening to was the re-recorded version that came out last year. The kid smirked and said “see the song is so old, that she had to re-record it to get people to pay attention to the song again.” I decided that at this point I was going to ignore this child. Then a song from Victorious came on and the kid clapped. I asked why they were clapping and they said and I quote “finally you put on some modern music!” I have never laughed so hard in my life over something as ridiculous as that. I explained to the child that no this song was not

New or re-recorded and that the song was only one year older than them. The kid screamed “I’M OLD!” and then ran away.

Humor, however, is what ties evertything together. "Jokes keep me sane," James said. "A terrible disaster just makes for more content. For example, this week, my appendix ruptured and I nearly died. It made for a great newsletter."
But that's just scrathing the surface. If you are interested in hearing the resr of it, you can subscribe to James's newsletter at jamesbreakwell.substack.com. "It’s the best way to learn more about my parenting style and my occasionally exploding organs," he added.

This reminds me of my former wife. She hated having her picture taken because she always ended up looking funny. I explained that was because whenever someone pointed a camera at her she made her "Ew don't do that" face.

In third grade we would always have lessons on the carpet to I guess be more connected or smthg? Anyways we were bored so my friend tried to show me how to breakdance, and I spun around a bunch and accidentally tripped a kid who was carrying a couple boxes of pastels. He landed flat on his face. The teacher called my parents. It was not a great day

As long as it wasn't someone screaming 'get out of the house now!!!' In your own voice then you should be fine 🙂

What is it about "Can I borrow a saw?"? I worked for this law firm (in accounting) and I called the supply guy, asking whether I can borrow a hacksaw (just to yank his chain). He said they didn't have one. Two minutes later he and five lawyers showed up in my office, curious about what I needed a hack saw for.

At first I was like:" ...a 10-year old, a 9 year-old, an 11 year-old, a 6 year-old, a 7 year-old, a 5 year-old...How many kids does this man have?!". Then I realized time passes.

Most of his tweets are made up and didn't happen for real. He even uses old and known jokes.

The whole parent influencer/tweeter/content creator seems wrong to me, like…don’t depend on your children for Internet points. Actually, shield them from social media til they’re old enough. And don’t get me started on YouTube families that have channels for the family AND separate channels for the children💔. Just let them be.

is it just me or are some of these pretty rude & impolite things for kids that young to be saying to their dad, if these aren't just made up? banter is always great & can be a fun way to show affection but some of these are just... kids being mean for the sake of being mean. that's pretty sad. if it was just a few tweets like that it would be funny, but this guy has been featured on bp for years & pretty much all his content is about his kids "roasting" him or being inconsiderate to others, which makes them seem pretty unlikable... i know his content is made up for attention, but why does he paint his kids as such rude brats?

Can't tell you how much I agree, both with the on-topic and with the downvoting issue. In fact the latter is what keeps me from going on a rant about how on earth he can consider this behaviour funny and even share it... well, sort of what you said.
