Parenting is an adventure filled with challenges, surprises and memorable moments. While it may not always be easy, it can certainly be an exciting and rewarding journey. Parenting involves being constantly engaged in various activities. From playing with your child to organizing their schedules, preparing meals, helping with homework and engaging in family outings, there is always something to do and keep you engaged.
Children also have a knack for creating unpredictable situations. Whether it's their endless curiosity leading them to explore the world around them or their ability to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures, you never know what they will say, do or discover next. Some parents have found humor in these unpredictable moments and have shared their experiences on Twitter.
Here are 25 of the funniest and most interesting parenting moments shared on the platform:
