It’s that time of the month again when moms and dads have yet another 31 days of parenting in the books. Welcome to Bored Panda’s list featuring parenting tweets: May edition! Because when it’s hard being a mom and dad, it’s also really fun, but time goes by and soon everything turns into memories.

Unless you share it on the internet. No wonder there’s a saying that what gets posted online stays there forever. And when it comes to parenting tweets, they surely can become a part of an excellent archive reliving our complex reality, including the absurdity, joy and challenge of it that comes with raising kids.

So let’s pull our seats closer and take a moment to see how May went for moms and dads on Twitter who didn’t miss a chance to share the hilarious conversations, accidents and experiences they had with the little ones.

After you’re done, there’s a lot more parenting tweets to chuckle at from previous months here, here and here.

    I get the opposite, my kids are teens and I look and dress pretty young (think jeans, sneakers and tees). I get asked all the time if I am my kids big sister. I find that hilarious because I had my kids at 27 and 30. I guess the saying is true, "black don't crack" 🤣🤣🤣

    My son had found his grandmothers razor near the tub and shaved off part of his right eyebrow. A few days later, my husband is giving me a haircut and drags the electric clippers across a comb to trim my bangs. I was like "Did you just shave my eyebrow?" He says "No" takes comb away "Oops..." Same half..same eyebrow. So for a while, whenever my son and I were together, it looked like an inherited genetic abnormality than an accident.

    I've got this solved. Let them play till 11pm. They collapse from exhaustion because unlike you, they are not coffee powered. Then you pick them up and dump them as-is on the bed. Next morning wake them up with a miliary bugle call. Do this a few times and they get it.

    This one you solve by pausing everytime the child speaks, and give an answer. That way you are actually answering the questions but you get the message across. And when they're watching something you ask loud questions all the way through.
