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.

Wait... so are you also playing the game now!? Is that why you grounded them? Because only a Karen would ground kids for having fun! Lol.
I think this is very unfair on Karens, I've known some lovely people called Karen. We used to call women who tried to pull a non-existent rank, 'Madams'
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!"
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.
So this was Kanye’s inspiration for those see-through plastic “jeans”.
The follow up is mom saying no at the same time the kid starts screaming at the top of their lungs. This usually happens in the car or at a store.... My almost 16 years old still does this to me...
The sad part is that there were more species around when I was little than there are now.
You forgot “while asking her why she isn’t ____, and using it as an example of her not being organized. Then telling her how he would do it”—-even though his way would be a disaster. You can fill in the blank with whatever task she was trying to do, with him “helping” by putting himself in the way the entire f*****g time.
For age six, she's doing pretty well, imo. You may have a budding scientist there.
I usually end up saying, why bother asking me if you are going to do it anyway, to my 3 year old
A friend of ours fell off a ladder and dislocated his shoulder. Their 5 year old was so excited when I went over to babysit them so the parents could go to the hospital.
Me: WHat do you want for breakfast? 9: Random! Me: OK, how about Life cereal! 9: AAARGH! Now it's not random! Me: So "random" means "surprise me?" 9: Yes. Me: OK, here. 9: This is Life! Me: Surprise! (This actually worked ONCE.)
Why do you think I always dated tall guys? Hey, it was a two-way street. I picked things up off the floor for them.
You should have offered her insurance for the therapy she now needs. 🤣😅
Plot twist: all three cups are the exact same shade of dark blue.
It should be sometime after the antimaskers and antivaxxers are gone...
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”
Load More Replies...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.
