It’s that time of year when summer is drawing to a close and autumn is on the horizon — and witty moms and dads can’t wait to tell everyone about the hilarious shenanigans their little daredevils came up with this past month. As you can guess, it’s time for Bored Panda’s newest batch of funny and relatable parenting tweets: August edition!
As parents had another four weeks dealing with the hilarious antics of their kids, we continue to acknowledge just how demanding and rewarding this business of being a parent is. Because parenthood is a challenge where you never know what your little one will say or do next, so you must be prepared for virtually anything, especially taking their amusing nuggets of wisdom online.
Even after juggling work and home life and making sure there's always a meal on the table, people still manage to find time to commiserate with fellow adults and crack everyone up on Twitter. So we have gone through the platform and wrapped up a collection of the twist, turns, and funny in-betweens parents had the pleasure of surviving this month. Be sure to upvote your favorite tweets and let us know about your own recent adventures in the comments!
Psst! After you're done laughing through this list, there's plenty more entertaining content in our earlier pieces from July, June, and May.

Ouch that hurts even more than scrolling down the effing 'year of birth calendar' for centuries before finding yours.
When you try to think of a funny comment but forget what the heck you’re going to say so just explain your situation to the world and damn I’m thinking & typing at the same time again.
The killer is when Mommy Cocktail simply hasn't lost the pregnancy weight from giving birth to kiddo. Sending you a bottle of bourbon, Mommy Cocktail.
Lol, that's my 7. Me: Don't forget to brush your teeth! Her: Great! This is going to be the worst day of my life!
Congratulations!! I need to teach my kids AND my wife how to do that!
Oh, shoot. This reminds me of the time that my brother-in-law had an asthma attack. He asked his young son to get his inhaler, and the son continued playing videogames while his Dad was fighting for breath. The son has since grown up and turned out great, but that was a rough day.
Nope. Just took the stroller in there . Why shake the ticking time bomb?
Always easier to remember we love them when they're still and quiet.
LOL! When my middle child was 4 she started singing a song in the back seat which really was just her screaming "SPIDERS DON'T EXIST RIGHT NOW!". There was a spider outside her window, and she was just wishing as hard as she could.
Start walking away ... they usually get separation anxiety, panic and get out by themselves.
My cats think there’s an imaginary being in the house. Should I call the priest yet?
Tell them you'll give them a prize of a choclate bar for whoever draws the best picture of you sleeping.
Better than what my best friend did. She went all super mom and outlined itty bitty foot prints leading up to her daughter's bed in red glitter. ( Hardwood throughout the house) kid wakes up, reaches under the pillow, grabs the $5 under there, then looks at the floor and starts screaming hysterically! "Mommy the tooth fairy was bleeding from her feet." (How do we know the progression of events? Mom was peeking of course!)
So no more "I guess you'll starve" then? My mom said this to us and now that she's a gran to my nephew/nieces she asks s**t like "Would you like triangles or rectangles? I'll cut them into hearts if you like?"
Any stranger offering me liquorice can go straight to hell. You picked the wrong kid bud.
I don't get it. Why have kids if you don't even enjoy it? I know it's not all fun a rainbows, but it seems like there's a certain mentality out there where it's like 'parenthood sucks, I hate my life, must drink wine to survive!' If that's really true, why do that to yourself? If not, why are you saying something so awful about your children? Odds are, they're eventually going to see what you said about them.
My parents do this too (15 y-o here) and I find it pretty reasonable. I get enough sleep and am not addicted to my phone like some on my friends are.
Oh my gosh. My niece and nephew got into a full blown argument in a Red Robin restaurant once over this!
No such thing as too cheesy. Double check that he isn't an alien being from some other planet.
Robber: Gimme all your candy then! Me: NO dice, my kids already ate it
There is a good chance my suicide note will just read."exhausted parent need sleep"
