25 hilarious and honest tweets that capture different sides of the parenting journey
Children bring a world of confusion, excitement, anxiety and amusing moments into the lives of their parents and here is just a small part of it.
Parenthood is a rollercoaster ride no one is prepared for. Children bring a world of confusion, excitement, anxiety and amusing moments into the lives of their parents. There are no warning signs to this ride and no end to baffling experiences. After some time of experience, parents might not be pros at parenting but they do become pros at kidding. Some of them even share amusing interactions with their kids or hilariously honest perceptions on social media.
As one parent shares their experience with another, a chain of memorable yet surprising events unfolds before us. Whether they parent an infant, toddler, middle schooler, or a teenager, a parent needs some space to laugh their exhaustion away. No matter how many parenting classes you attend, you might not be trained enough for the joyous yet exhilarating ride that awaits your laughter. Put on your seat belts and hold your belly. Here are 25 hilariously honest tweets from parents who've experienced it all.
