It’s Time For The Best Parenting Tweets Of The Month, And Here Are The Best Ones This November (50 Pics)
Raising kids is hard work. You rarely have time for practically anything, especially socializing. So when parents do get those rare two minutes of peace and quiet, it's no wonder they want to tell everyone about the ups and downs they've experienced with their little pumpkins. And girl, can they articulate!
For one of our favorite and longest-lasting series, Bored Panda has compiled the best tweets moms and dads made this November. From honest confessions to clever jokes, you don't even need to be a parent to get them. These mini stories are so relatable, we all can appreciate them.
For more, check out our older lists: October, September, and August.

Moms and dads making fun of their struggles on Twitter isn't a bad thing. With school, housework, and the kids' after-school activities taking over their time, parents got a lot on their plate. It's easy to become socially isolated from the outside world when your everyday life is so hectic and make a mistake or two. Accepting and laughing at them allows them to move on.
Vicki Broadbent, for example, successfully juggles a thriving business with raising a family, and she said owning your hiccups is just a part of the journey. "When I mess up, I hold my hands up, admit it, and explain to my children what happened ('Mummy shouted because she was tired'). I also always apologize," the founder of Honest Mum and author of Mumboss, told Bored Panda."It's a strength, not a weakness to say sorry. Being honest about my failures with my children humanizes me as a parent and, most importantly, it normalizes making mistakes. They're a natural part of life and we're all learning and growing. I want my kids to know that while I'm teaching them the difference between right and wrong and the importance of empathy and forgiveness."
Dog: Mom! How could you just stand there and let them invade my private domain without even lifting a finger to stop them? I’m supposed to be your carpet critter, not them! Oh, the betrayal!
Hahaha, I can't think of a better time to explain the difference between stomach and uterus.
Vicki said that her family genuinely has a lot of fun. They sing, dance, watch comedies, and always strive to seek the positives in life. "We as parents don't take ourselves too seriously and laugh at ourselves so our children follow suit." Keeping a family together is a lot of work. But offers so many opportunities to have a good time, too, so why not use it?
"Having children is truly a gift," Vicki said. "It gives you as a parent a second chance at childhood. You can live vicariously through your kids; you can see the world anew through their young eyes, and best of all, you get to eat more candy (!) and lose your inhibitions more (I've been known to dance around the supermarket)! It's a maternal right to embarrass your kids, right!"
If you have the luck I did with just two, it landed perfectly and they all cheered, because now, there was a waffle ( with syrup) riding the ceiling fan.
I think if before the launch, they all made predictions as to what would happen, then this would count as a scientific experiment.
Need to know if the waffles got chopped into pieces, just like in the cartoons.
Please don’t make him feel bad for being curious. Encourage it—-but show him how to do,it less destructively. Well, at least less messily.. Curiosity is why the critters that evolved into us crawled out of the slime in the first place. Curiosity is why we no longer live in caves. Curiosity is why we no longer think solar eclipses are a sign that the end of the world has come. Curiosity made us explore the globe, even if we feared it was flat and we’d fall off the edge. Lack of curiosity, on the other hand, would signal the death of progress. Kelp him wanting to know what would happen, and why something is, and how something got that way.
I think the tone of the posting indicates Mum saw the funny side and didn’t make make him feel bad.

Literally standing in the toilet with a roll of toilet paper stuffed in there and him throwing giant spit balls on the ceiling. He's 19 now, we will tell every girlfriend this story.
I had 3 boys (1 girl) … the boys tortured each other … saving my sanity.
Have they had a contest to see if they can pee on the ceiling yet?....
Because boys and girls TOTALLY have guidelines that say what they do based on gender
The mother is fully aware that having kids is a huge responsibility but like everything in life, she always questions herself, 'Am I having fun?'
"Childhood is a short and precious window to be enjoyed so we as parents must protect this time for our children and harness happiness where possible."
You had a baby that was never awake in the dark? And you dare complain!?
And their dad sounds like them so you say a casual greeting instead of a polite one
My OCD goes into overdrive when I watch the kids put the ornaments on the tree.
I remember being upset about this as a kid. My friend even got to be the BRIDESMAID at her parents' wedding yet mine didn't even think to invite me. In 1965. When I was minus 9.
Not as bad as "Mom, why are you friendly to the woman you always call the Walmart Witch? "
Me breaking up a fight : Day 1- he looked at me and I don't want him to Lok at me. Day 2- I want to play with him and he don't want to play. Day 2950 - nurse I want to give back this kids and change it for puppies instead.
Looks like you’ve got a budding entrepreneur there. Well, depending on exactly HOW she came into such a fortune, that is.
My personal favorite moment was standing in court for a traffic violation, actually a Minor fix it ticket inspection . And my three year old sprang one of his at that time, chronic, horrible, gushing nosebleeds. ( He was fine we figured out, weak veins in his nose) I didn't have my big bag of kid stuff, because I knew the security wouldn't allow it. All I could do was whip off his white t-shirt and hold it to his nose, while talking to the judge. Judge was like "do you need a continuance?" " I spoke absolutely the truth. " Judge, let's just get this done, I really don't want to have to bring everyone back up in here again". The judge let me pay the bare minimum and gave me a month to do it. Thanks judge Riley, you are a sweetie!
Hey, the front of Macy’s is the jewelry, makeup, and perfume sections, so he told you that you smell good. Take. The. Compliment.
That's the worst insult in my house at the moment. If I hear someone calling the other baby, I better run to stop the fight.
My 17 year old refers to me as "bruh" or "dude". It's actually pretty hilarious.
And your shirt is a handkerchief/napkin/blank canvas to draw on (usually in indelible ink), as well.

It’s like a Pavlovian response. “Oh there’s a post about parents, I should bitch about children on it instead of just not opening the link”

For some people their parenting never starts even when they give birth.
