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."
Having X amount of kids does not make you a good parent. There are parents with 10-15 kids that should never had 1.
...and they should be required to have at least one chapter written by those kids as a rebuttal
Too many are written by people with "child psychology" degrees, and zero experience with actual children. Just like TV shows for kids which is why they are such drivel these days.
I have twins nothing at all I read came close to this.... Nothing and I felt like a failure for so long. Nope just people who A. Don't have twins B.dontnhave kids at all because having them potty trained and the process is unique to each kid. Same with any type of development. Don't read them
Gypsies in my country have 13+ children and zero idea how to raise them properly, so this is a slippery slope. I also remember a book by two so called doctors with a lot of children and basically bullshit advice. And if that is the rule for being able to decide how to raise a child properly, what about listening to your mother and mother-in-low? I didn't think so either.
I was born into a large family and fully helped raise my younger sisters. I know there are nuances to being the physical parent, but I don't belive a person whose first experience with babies is their own offspring should turn down advice from those who have multiple experiences before them.
My guess is they all, collectively have a grand total of ZERO children. But they went to uni and studied some s**t which qualifies them to know more than a person who actually pushed that melon through that keyhole.
Well one very interesting method of an approach to kids is tought by a woman, that actually has no kids by her own. She literally just date a guy with two teenagers. And needless to say her approach is very interesting, difficult, works with huuuuge self reflection and correction and she's famous with it! Very funny :)
I meant in my country. Very well known amongst the parents....

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!"
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”

Ah, parenting. What they don't tell you is that it doesn't stop at 18, or 21, or 25, or 30, or ever.
For some people their parenting never starts even when they give birth.
