25 hilarious and relatable tweets from parents that perfectly capture the reality of raising kids
Check out 25 funny tweets from parents who want the world to know what a rollercoaster ride of an adventure raising kids is.
Parents develop a distinct sense of humor after everything they go through with their children. They do not shy away from saying that parenting is hard, but also enthusiastically talk about the small joys of being parents. The hard part is obviously being responsible for little humans who would eat or touch anything they see. However, when parents hear the sort of questions their kids come up with or the little ones' unexpected responses, it leaves them in splits. And that's exactly what parents on X have shared in their tweets.
One parent tweeted, "Welcome to parenting. People who actually eat dirt will now criticize your cooking"—a true statement. Meanwhile, another demonstrated a perfect parental response with a tweet that reads, "My son interrupted my phone call to tell me that he was going to die of boredom. I informed him that was impossible since I'm still alive after listening to him talk about Minecraft for the last five years." In short, that is how parenting is. It involves the good and the bad. So check out 25 hilarious tweets from parents that anyone can relate to. They have put it out there just the way it is.
1. Well played!
My 7yo wanted me to be her child when playing house, so I begged her for snacks and made her watch my "cool tricks," and within a few minutes, she sent me to my room so she wouldn't have to deal with me.

2. So sorry!
When people say that my son looks just like me, my wife always says “doctors say there’s nothing they can do.”

3. Lol
My son told me he kept having hot flashes so he googled his symptoms to see what might be going on.

Menopause. He said he has menopause.
4. "Simon Says..."
Asked 4 how pre school was and she said they played Simon Says and every time a kid got it wrong they cried until all the children were crying so she yelled “Simon Says stop crying!” and all the children stopped crying. Now she’s drunk on Simon Says power and I fear for my life

5. Too many bats
My 4 year old, listening to my heart beat with his toy stethoscope, says, "I have bad news for you. I'm pretty sure there are a ton of bats in there."

7. Valid point
My son interrupted my phone call to tell me that he was going to die of boredom. I informed him that was impossible since I'm still alive after listening to him talk about Minecraft for the last 5 years.

8. Win-win situation
Normalize letting your three year old talk to unsolicited telemarketers
— Lessons from the Minivan (@FromMinivan) April 7, 2021
Your child will love getting calls and
chatting with a talkative representative.
The telemarketer can practice his spiel.
Your number will immediately be put on the “Do Not Call” list.
Everyone wins!
9. True that!
First time parents in Facebook groups be like:
— Terri Fry (@momlikethat1) September 19, 2021
“Looking for fun fall places to take my 3 month old.”
Just put her in the stroller and go for a walk Linda. She’s 3 months old. She literally doesn’t give AF about anything but getting fed.
10. Perfect
Hear me out a party bus but it picks up other moms and we get to sleep while it drives around playing true crime podcasts and nobody talks to us or asks us for anything

11. Honesty
“Well they just got engaged but there’s 200 pages left so it’s not looking good.” my daughter on Jane Eyre
— Eileen Curtright (@eileencurtright) June 19, 2021
12. "Never is a bit extreme"
There are people out there who are like "never, ever, EVER make your children feel like their feelings are invalid," but once my son cried uncontrollably because he couldn't get the juice back into his orange, so I'm just suggesting that maybe "never" is a bit extreme.

ME AS A KID: i wish i was an adult so i could do whatever i want

16. That's a lot of work
My husband took the kids out for the afternoon so I could “get things done”. So far I’ve eaten half a jar of jelly beans, watched a cat roll around outside and stared at the laundry pile

Me: You're in charge. Keep your sisters safe.
11-year-old: All of them?
Me: As many as you can.

My kids love playing pretend. My 9yo pretends to be a dinosaur and my 13yo pretends she doesn’t know us.
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) August 3, 2021
19. Only dogs, please!
9-year-old: Can I pet that dog?

Me: You have to ask the owner.
9: I want to meet dogs, not people.
20. Anything for allowance
My son couldn't find his shoes, so I told him that I hid his allowance in them and it's amazing how fast he found them.
— KJ (@IDontSpeakWhine) June 25, 2021
21. Buckle up

My son just threw a waffle into the ceiling fan so he could see what would happen, with all of his brothers cheering him on.
Send help.
