45 Times Teens Got A Taste Of Their Own Medicine As Their Parents Hilariously Roasted Them On Twitter
I remember my 14-year-old self reading Herman Hesse’s “Steppenwolf,” thinking of the dumb world and dreaming that it would have no consequences. My CD player would be blasting Nirvana’s Nevermind again and again, like a stuck record that had no way of escaping. Fast forward to today, I cringe a little and yet, I find it cute. Being a teen is one ride of a lifetime that feels eternal in the moment, but passes so fast as if it never happened.
Every parent who raises a teenage kid also experiences a fair share of that awkward, overwhelming and transformative time of life. Some, well, most of them, argue (because that’s just a law of nature, right?) and others arm themselves with a smashing sense of humor. And it turns out that some savage parents are able to roast their teenagers into barbecue in just a single tweet.
Today, we collected some of the funniest tweets from the unstoppable parents with teen kids, so scroll down below to laugh your eyes out!

True for all parenting: Don't give kids a choice where it doesn't exist. Kids are literal thinkers, and teenagers are wiley. If there's a loophole, they'll find it.
I bypassed kids and went straight to animals... all kinds of them. I've never regretted my choice!
Hey, he trusts you enough to be open with you, and his big "crime" is sneaking into the wrong movie. I say you've done something right.
My teens can wear what they want but then don't get to complain about the cold. Also, I tell them in advance that I will not help out with my warm clothing. That worked rather well after a wee bit of hard learning. (If we go up to the mountains in winter they will wear what I say. Too potentially dangerous.)
Grateful to the Lord above said teen is willing to be out with the family at all.
Is it really possible that people would wear clothes they consider ugly just because they are in style atm? Oo
Maybe you just raised a really independent young person? If so, congrats! That's one of the major goals of parenting. Hopefully in a few days, things will mellow out for her and she'll realize, "Oh yeah, I should probably talk to mom."
I have a nephew like this. He eats and eats and never puts weight on. He never gets a hangover after a night out (don’t worry, he’s over 18). And everyone around him could be dying of some illness or virus and he never gets sick. We’re all jealous of him.
Oh god oh god oh god THIS IS SOO SOO TRUE, AND I DON'T EVEN DO ANYTHING FISHY!!!
If I even think about walking away from a convo and my parents emit death rays. Can't even imagine slamming a door
Yeah, doing very extended handstands as a 40-something mom always impresses kids and teens, and my daughter explodes with pride 🥳🤣. (But I do it only when they request it and it's literally my job, teacher for contemporary circus especially acrobatics/clowning/minitramp.)
Its like the day of their 13th birthday they wake up as a completely different kid.
I am afraid, I don't think so. There is only so much you can do against hormones on a rollercoaster - remind the teen in question to shower frequently, wear fresh clothes and, for the love of God, try your best to keep them away from evil smelling products like Axe (for boys) or Impulse (for girls) as these are only unlocking the next level of smell hell... Thank you, thank you, thank you for your efforts!
Parents b***h about how their kids never tell them anything but also b***h when their kids are excited to share their hobbies with the parents and then the parents b***h when their kids steadily withdraw from engaging with the family and don’t share their hobbies or interests anymore.
Spoke to a lady who was nursing a coffee in the subway restaurant as I passed, ( we do that here, nothing strange, and she looked slightly down) I asked, " Are you ok?" She replied, "yeah, I've just got three teenagers at home and I am talking myself into going back." I patted her back and reassured her these days pass. Teen years are extremely hard. My lovely daughter once tried a mini exorcism on me when I didn't wash her underwear! No joke! One son was so emo I worried he would never really walk upright after age fourteen. But we lived through it, they do too. We forget, often we were little turds at that age!!!
Mine once got mad at me for leaving without telling her she woke up and I had been gone 4hrs. I said I'm I woke u up tried to get u to come with us u sat up we had a whole conversation ....she was like what?
I'm just curious. What would be the meaning of "Mom, you've fattened up a bit"?
That does not bother me much since they clean up their own meß. It's the boys, husband included, that put empty containers back in the fridge or cupboards. just because there are 2 gallons of milk in the fridge does not mean there is milk inside said gallon of milk containers
Naw. You can spend quality time with your teens without intentionally embarrassing them. It's hard enough to be a teen. You wouldn't like it if your teen intentionally embarrassed you. Don't do it to them. Still definitely spend quality time with them though.
I'm still waiting for this to hit As my son is 17, daughter 16 and neither of them have shut up yet, I'm guessing the "grunt" gene passed them by.
God forbid the Wi-Fi goes out!!!!!! Y'all know EXACTLY what I'm talking about too!!!!
In Colorado, USA, 15yo are required to have X hours of "mountain driving" in order to get their license. I believe that took about 10 years off my life!
???? uh ok how about: ye,ya,yea,yee,yes,yas,yaaaas,YAASS QWEEN,yup,yep,yeah,yeehaw
This was my son! I can't tell you how many salespeople asked me, "Is he all right?"
And if the teens are girls, then there are hormonal issues for both! I remember reading an article from a columnist in my local paper that I really liked. Her daughter was in high school, she was going through menopause, they were driving each other crazy. She and her daughter would be hashing out some conflict at the tops of their voices, with her husband literally in the middle: on the couch, watching it all play out like he was at a demented tennis match. I really felt for the guy!
I really don't get that practice. Even if it was for a real proposal I think it's weird.
Parents: ugh babies are the worst. Ugh toddlers are so ridiculous. Ugh my 4/5/6/7 year old is so annoying. Ugh my preteen insulted me. Ughh my teenager is so horrible. Ugh my adult child is trying to be independent against my wishes. Let me tell the whole internet how awful my child is at every stage of life. Also parents: What do you mean you don’t want kids??
Right? Why even bother having children if you're just going to complain about them all the time and guilt trip them if they misbehave.. Sometimes I feel like the decision to have children is less thought through for some people than the decision to not have children is for others.
Load More Replies...A lot of these seem more like spoiled and rude teens. Not every teen is like that
And parents who don't realize the importance of respecting your teenager. It's kinda crazy to expect respect from your teen when you don't give them respect.
Load More Replies...I wonder about all the accusations about diaper changes and labor pains. The children certainly did not choose that. That's just part of becoming/being a parent. Just as you have to deal with teenagers.
For real the attitude of “um I was in labor with you for X hours, how dare you not let me embarrass you in public” is gross. Your child didn’t ask you to do that. Your child does not owe you simply because you had a long labor.
