Being a parent is stressful, but suddenly it becomes a lot more bearable if you've got a good sense of humor. The funny dads of Twitter inspire us on our parenting journeys (or make us grateful that we don't have kids yet) as they take fatherhood with a pinch of salt, some healthy cynicism, and a whole lot of humor. This week's funniest dad tweets will have you rolling your eyes but also laughing (mainly on the inside) at the corny dad jokes. And here are last week's hilarious dad tweets, which will have you doing the same.

On Mother's Day, we appreciate the immense amount of patience our mothers have for being able to put up with all of our BS through the years. Honestly, they probably deserve a whole month of appreciation, but since that's not the case, it just means we should all go extra hard today. Moms, we love you. Hopefully these sarcastic memes are up to your standards.

Parenting can be fun, but sometimes it can be a real pain in the a**. Kids don't mean to push your buttons, but somehow they know exactly which ones to push and when. Sure, parenting is rewarding, but it can test your patience to its limit, and we feel your pain. These parents deserve a medal after what their kids have pulled on them. Check out these epic parenting fails and here are some more if you enjoyed them. 

The dads of Twitter know that fatherhood can be simultaneously challenging and full of joyful moments. That's why we love bringing you a weekly haul of the funniest dad tweets we came across over the past seven days, which are the epitome of dad humor and the reason dads get the rep that they do — for both the good and the bad. Once you've digested all of these hilarious dad tweets, you can check out last week's funniest dad tweets as well, which are equally as entertaining.

Most people have a love-hate relationship with dad humor. And by that, I mean they hate how much they love it. Because let's face it, as much as we roll our eyes and groan out loud at their puns, their quips, and their funny observations about life and parenting, we still come back for more. Each week we round up the funniest dad tweets we found from the past seven days that accurately describe the journey of parenthood. There's something about men becoming fathers that makes them so much more comical, relatable, and goofier, and we're grateful for it. And here are last week's funniest dad tweets in case you missed them.

Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, especially when you're a single parent. Parents don't always get it right; in fact, most of the time, they screw up. But the sign of a good parent is one who can admit their mistakes and apologize to their kids when they get it wrong. One dad posted on Reddit, wanting to know how badly he had f*cked up when he cut his daughter's hair. He explained that he is a single parent and struggles to maintain his seven-year-old daughter's hair, which she refuses to take any responsibility for herself. After many discussions with her, he finally cut her hair, which she found very distressing. His mother and sister told him that it was the wrong move, but he is unsure. Redditors gave mixed responses, with many telling him that his reasoning was fair, but the way he carried it out wasn't OK. Below is his account; scroll through and tell us what you think. Is this bad parenting, or were his actions justified?

We don't know when men make the transition from regular dudes to total dads, but we're so here for it! The dads of Twitter take to the platform on a weekly basis to express the wins and woes of parenting, and these dads could seriously start a side hustle doing comedy about parenting. Evidently, they have loads of personal material to work with. Personally, I'm sad I can't join the dad club myself, but take joy in enjoying the hilarious tweets they produce. Scroll down for all the dad funnies this week. 

Makeup is meant for adults; there are no two ways about it. Sure, kids can experiment and have fun with their mom or older sister's makeup, but only with adult supervision and within the framework of playing dress-up. Aside from the fact that adults encouraging children to wear makeup hild can cause body image issues that a child shouldn't have, some makeup contains chemicals that aren't designed for children's skin and can cause irritation and rashes. One father discovered this the hard way when his wife experimented with her makeup on their two-year-old child, which caused her to break out in a rash. A parenting war erupted over who was right.

For many new parents, the magic of having brought a new life into this world is almost unimaginable. You start to plan all kinds of activities and outings under the assumption that you will never grow tired of your little bundle of joy. You wake up every morning longing to grab your child and dance like no one's watching. Oh, you sweet, innocent, naive little fawn. Wait a couple of weeks and reality will set in. Once you have kids they're with you everywhere. You're either holding them or they're climbing on you. You try to get a moment's peace but they're grabbing your shin and hanging on for dear life. Somehow they never get tired of it. How do they never get tired of it??

So, to help new parents cope with the growth of a new appendage in the shape of their child, we put together a list of all the awesome things you can do while holding your baby.

Every parent will attest that raising kids is a Herculean task and not one for the weak. So, when things inevitably get tough, having a good sense of humor will make the parenting journey a lot more bearable. The funny dads of Twitter know a thing or two about this, and they take parenting with a pinch of salt, a splash of vodka, and a whole lot of humor. Here are this week's funniest dad tweets.

We're back with your weekly roundup of the funniest dad Tweets we came across this week. It's the dads who are nailing it at parenting but might need a word or two of encouragement along the way. Thankfully, Twitter is the place where dads come to life and give each other the boosts they need to get through another day of parenting challenges. This week's list is a taste of dad humor at its best. It's guaranteed to brighten up your day, make you roll your eyes, and keep scrolling down for more.

The internet is full of interesting people, some more so than others. But every so often, you come across someone who is such an awful human that you can't believe they are real. One guy proved how true this is when his wife posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole explaining how demeaning approach to 'help' her lose her baby weight was giving her a breakdown. She unveiled that after developing post-partum depression, she struggled to shift the weight she gained from the pregnancy, which is when her husband decided to reveal he was no longer attracted to her. Charming, right? It gets better. In an attempt to incentivize her weight loss, he told all their friends and family (including their young children) to call her 'Ms. Piggy', effectively fat-shaming her into losing weight. After her children called her by her new nickname one night at dinner, she admitted that she lost it and started crying. Redditors jumped to her defense, calling her husband out as the emotionally abusive a—hole that he is.

Having a baby is hard work. Suddenly, your life revolves around this tiny human who depends on you for survival, and you better know what you're doing. Since parenting is a very much 'learn on the job' type of role, parenting basics don't necessarily come naturally, especially if you don't have children. One guy proved this while staying at his sister and brother-in-law's house when he relocated their sleeping baby from its nursery into a stroller in the hallway just so that he could have sex with his girlfriend in the nursery. Understandably, the situation left the baby's father fuming because the baby's blanket had fallen over his face, which could have been a fatally dangerous situation. He posted on Reddit's Am I The A**hole, explaining that his wife, who wasn't in town at the time, claims her husband is overreacting. Redditors disagreed and had A LOT to say on the matter.

Having a child is a beautiful, magical miracle that many people feel very lucky to do. It also happens to be one of the most painful things a person could possibly go through, but hey, men are stronger than women right? I digress.

The point is, after all that work, and planning, and pain you'd hope that the final project is at least presentable. But then this alien creature comes sprawling out of your insides and you realize that thing is yours and it's pretty crazy. Obviously, it's beautiful, it's a baby! It's the purest thing ever, but damn they can be funny looking too. It's okay if you've had these thoughts too.

Once you have kids your entire life changes and a lot of adjustments need to be made to keep up with it. You have to try to have healthy snacks around the house, you can't get blackout drunk every Tuesday, and you need to deal with your child's incessant curiosity. I promise you, it never ends. 

Why this? But why that? But why why why?

It can drive you insane. Sometimes it makes your life just a whole lot easier to tell a little white lie. It might not make a whole lot of sense, but it gets the job done. If you run out of useful white-lies, feel free to take any of these that fellow parents shared on Twitter.

When it comes to baby names, the limit does not exist. There are so many themes, cultures, biblical references, and more to choose from. However, sometimes choice isn't necessarily a good thing. A Reddit user asked the nurses and midwives of Reddit if they've ever tried to talk parents out of particular baby names, and boy, did they have quite the names to share. Evidently, parents are a little off their rocker sometimes. Scroll down to hear names that are hilariously out of this world.
