It has been said numerous times, and it bears repeating: posting your children’s photos and other private information online is strongly not recommended and downright dangerous. On the other hand, sharing every now and then in what ways exactly parenting is not going the way you expected it to can be a good way to release the pressure and even appreciate your kids more. And what better place to do it but Twitter! Funny parent tweets have become a genre of their own, and a popular one too.
From funny to endearing to absolutely savage tweets, parents keep entertaining the online population of Twitter. Interestingly, tweets on life as a parent are a source of inspiration not only for parents but also for people who are still considering having kids or maybe even have firmly decided to stay childfree, because we can all use some humor in our life. So if you’re spending your Friday searching for the funniest tweets from parents this week, we totally get it, and also, we’ve got you covered.
Below you will find the best of Twitter in parenting humor. Enjoy it, share it with your friends, and of course, let us know which ones you liked the most. If you are a parent, show us your funniest tweet, and if you are a child whose parents post on Twitter — believe me, you’ll appreciate having funny parents when you get older.

Husband, also an engineer (P.E.) was told to stop helping with our daughters' homework -- according to the teachers, he was teaching them too many shortcuts. I, on the other hand (an English major), was told to stop helping, as well -- because I didn't know what I was doing. (They were right, by the way.)
Realistically, living remotely as she does, shed have to shop online
Now I need to know too! Kid asking them important questions Edit: They do a cute hopping thing it seems, check it out https://laughingsquid.com/penguins-hopping-down-stairs/
Nooooo anything but the consequences of my own actions coming back to bite me!
My older sister is pregnant and her name is preggo spaghetti sauce in my phone for the time being 😂 Update: She is no longer pregnant and we have custody of her kid. I can't even be in the same room as her, I am so disgusted.
Same for being an auntie who doesn't like to play pretend... I do my best!
Why not telling your child, that the sharks in the aquarium are fed so well they won't eat the other fish and also take this as a first educational opportunity to gently introduce your kid to the concept that carnivores do exist and that this is absolutely intended by nature (exclude humans if you like).
Ooh kid, I feel you. A certain episode from 2017 still keeps me up at night. And so ends my comedy career!
Until what age do kids go to nursery school that they can actually write...?
My daughters when they were 4 and 5, approached me about my bowl of 3 alarm chili that a friend had made. I couldn't convince them it was hot... sooooo... I gave them some. They got this real strange look on their faces, ran to the kitchen to ask Mom for some milk then ran back and asked for more. My girls, now 36 & 37, absolutely love spiced crabs, chili, hot mustard etc. Me? I love it going in but at my age, coming out leaves MUCH to be desired!
The year is 1987. We have driven overnight in our old VW bus and arrive at Gretna Green (Scotland) in time for breakfast. Our 16 month old gets offered a jar of baby food, from which she has never been fed in her life. So we order a toasted current bun. Man, those things can fly! Ultimate Frisbee watch out. The force is strong in this one.
I remember with great nostalgia my youngest child's last day ever of school and being picked up at the bus station for the final time. TWENTY THREE years of dropping off or collecting a child from school sadly ended.
and there’s a gap where kids’ sizes becomes adult sizes when you cannot get anything in their actual size, at least for girls
This exists! It starts the minute they return to school in January and doesn’t end until winter break starts.
not too many station wagons on the road. That was a legitimate assumption.
You've heard of the elf on the shelf, prepare for monkey on a donkey
I used to have to do a full body check for stickers before leaving the house
A lock box like realtors use. Bolted one to my house and kept a spare house key and car key. The closest person i trusted with one lived an hour away. Best damm 30$ I ever spent!
True story: my grandmother used to tell us there was a Christmas tree alligator that lived under our presents… we couldn’t touch them or anything near the tree or he might bite us. I simultaneously thought my older cousin was both brave and I was gonna watch his hand get bitten off (and I’d be able to refer to him as Captain Hook afterwards). I’m embarrassed to say how old I was before I realized that alligator didn’t exist.
i saw this is from 2018 and now im crying bc that was five years ago and i cant accept that
Yeah see, it doesn’t get better after 18 years. It somehow keeps getting worse, just in different ways.
Every time I'm in a store and I hear that noise I thank God I never had kids.
I've never seen a tweet make me feel so old, I was one of the teachers with the new smart board.
Not getting this one. Does it mean Summer bought her/his own gifts on Mom's Amazon account?
