Every parent can relate to James Breakwell, having lived through many such moments. He has nearly 1 million followers.
James Breakwell is an X (formerly Twitter) mini-celebrity whose humor might fly under your radar if you aren’t a parent. As a father of four, Breakwell shares relatable, hilarious moments from life with his kids, and his funny, family-focused tweets have earned him over a million followers. Since April 2016, Breakwell, who’s based in Indianapolis, has posted story after story that resonates with parents everywhere. According to Breakwell, his daughters love being in the spotlight of his tweets, enjoying the laughs as much as the audience does.
"They like what I do on Twitter mainly because it's all about them," Breakwell told Bored Panda. "On one hand, Twitter makes me a better father because I spend more time with my kids, answering all of their hilariously funny questions. On the other hand, Twitter makes me a much worse father because I only do it to get more material." To the credit of the four children, they are just as hilarious, sarcastic and snappy as one can be.
Here are some of his best tweets:
