Parenting is a journey full of surprises and funny moments, especially when it comes to raising 9-year-olds. They're a delightful blend of curiosity, imagination, and mischief.

At this age, kids are maturing emotionally and becoming more cognitively advanced. They are continuing to grow taller and stronger and may be ready to tackle sports and other physical activities.

So we thought to compile the funniest tweets that encapsulate the rollercoaster ride of living with these little creatures. From their unfiltered honesty to their amusing adventures, you never know what they're going to come up with. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the hilarity.

The problem with this article is that every single one of the examples seems fake, which takes a lot away from the humor.

    This is the perfect time to teach your child how lucky they are to have such wonderful giving parents and to share their luck by donating some of their things to less fortunate children. Some clutter is cleared, children are taught to share and the less fortunate children benefit. Everyone wins.

    we've been doing that since I was little. There's two big boxes in my house, when we fill them up, it gets donated. When I notice my closet filling up, I get rid of some things. I thought it was normal but lately I've been thinking... What does everyone else do with the things they don't want/need anymore? Just throw it away? it seems so wasteful

    I just feel this isn’t right. Your son wants to talk to you about something, and you tell him it is boring. The same thing happened to me. I talked a lot, my parents called me a chatterbox, now I don’t really tell them anything about me. Parents complain when we do talk, and complain when we stay silent. What are we supposed t do? Anyway, I’m not going to judge since I’m 13 and no children, but this is just what I feel. Could be wrong, sorry if it is and I insulted someone.

    I agree. As long as it’s a harmless hobby- there is no need to disrespect what they like to do. This is why lots of older kids don’t talk to their parents- (almost) every time they bring up their hobby, their parent/s turn it against them.

    It's raining today, so I'm going to do baking with my two kids. I predict that the 5yo will last a solid 20 minutes, while the 2yo will turn up for the spoon-licking and then leave. Both will, of course, let me clean up the mess. I'll let you know how it went. Wish me luck!

    Yep. And there's no shortage of ways kids can help all the way through the process. (Hell, by age nine, they could pretty much make the whole thing themselves with just supervision, and well-placed prompts as to what comes next. Delegate, parents!) If my son left to go watch TV after just starting to cook, he would not be eating the final result.

    you're more likely to get E. coli from unbaked flour. When you want to make edible cookie dough or cake batter, just spread out the amount of flour on a baking sheet and bake it at a certain temp for a few minutes. Plus whatever you're supposed to add instead of eggs

    When my girl was 9; it was summer and it didn't get dark till at least 22.00. She went to bed early ( school night) and actually slept. Until like 21.30. Came down, fully dressed and went like : good morning, what's for breakfast :) Thinking she had a full night of sleep, when it was 2 hours at the most.

    I mean, it broke the ice, as it were. They're talking about bringing back mammoths now (probably not a great idea) and other extinct species like the Tasmanian tiger (worth a try). The book does a pretty good job of bringing up some of the actual problems with the idea, so in some ways it's almost a scientific analysis of a hypothetical experiment. I usually think of it as a sort of "scientific fiction" sub-genre of sci-fi, if that makes sense.

    Give the kid the tape then stick a tracking device in their bag. You can still be a supportive parent whilst trying to avert a catastrophe.

    My son listens only to Dad rock. From year one. I had to play Billy Joel as a lullaby. I'm a Dad, so I can't say I didn't introduce it to him or that I don't like it, but it was apparently natural for him. "Dad rock" here refers to album-oriented rock from the late '60's until the domination of Alt rock in the 1990s.

    I'm fairly certain mine was 8. I remember it was the same summer he independently assigned himself the Hunger Games books. At eight. The best part was talking to him afterwards, with him pointing out plot holes and comparing this storyline with that storyline, and then throwing a whole different book storyline in there that had a parallel storyline progression. Too bad school forcing him to read things that did not awaken his curiosity nor hold his attention ruined his love of reading that I'd spent nearly a decade fostering and feeding, and watching it grow … it broke my heart.

She’d already told me what the dark web was along with a thousand science facts I hadn’t learned in school. I didn’t tell him that it would be a bad idea to let her near his brain as she would probably sell it on the dark web.

    In 7th grade, the teacher accused me of forging my mom's signature. She called my mom and "told" on me. My mom had to convince the teacher that she signed it.

    I used to forge my mum's for some stupid school thing. She acted like she knew when asked by my teacher, awesome mum.♥️

    When I would do that, wear headphones without music, and someone would ask me what I'm listening to, I would say the voices in my head, and then smile.

    I would pretend I can't hear them and keep "listening to the music"

    Who knows, you might buy them a horse after they ask you for the 79th time…. Maybe the 181st time? Well, the 302nd time is a charm! Right?…

    Old enough? Yes. Skilled enough? If he/she has Parkinson’s, then yes.

    I assign 1 item per year. So the 9yo should eat like 9 items and not like 1 more than that.

    7 years between my kids. Oldest got his 1st phone at 15. Youngest got hers at 12 for after school calls to me. Brother, now 19, complained for weeks about how unfair that was. 🙄

    But why does she have an iPad if she's not allowed to have a phone. How is one of them more or less suitable for a kid than the other?

    they're basically the same thing, but one is more expensive and you can't call people on it.

    Sugar sugar, fruit sugar, fruit sugar, and egg protein. 100% a balanced breakfast.

    Daughter was not a morning person. At all. That 'I have to dress her while carrying her to breakfast' sort. One of her spawn was same way, and I'm here to tell you I listened to her stories about that child with unabashed glee. 😬

    To be fair, there is always a chance at happy hour of having to pick something out of something and someone getting into arguments.
