kids

Another week has gone by, which means another week of parents struggling to do their best as their kids test their patience day after day. Thank goodness for Twitter, which serves as an outlet for parents to get sympathy, empathy, and advice from other parents who are also winging the parenting journey. We've put together another list of funniest parenting tweets we came across this week to make you hopefully feel somewhat less alone in your parenting trials and tribulations. And here are last week's in case you missed them.

If you're a parent, then congratulations on making another week of keeping your kids alive. As you know, this is no easy feat, and you deserve a medal for everything you do. But, unfortunately, no one hands out parenting medals. Instead, Twitter is an excellent place to get the appreciation, empathy, and cheerleading that you need to keep you going for another week of parenting. Welcome to this week's funniest parenting tweets, which, as usual, are as relatable as they are hilarious. Oh, and here's last week's in case you missed them.

Snooping through your kid's stuff is never a good idea because you will always find something you didn't want to see. And you can't unsee something. Plus, it's not a great way to build trust. Parents on a Reddit thread shared some of the weird things they found in their kid's rooms but never told their kids they found. From the cute love letters to the awkward sex toys, it's all here. Have you ever been in a similar situation?

If you think you've seen creepy kid's toys before, you haven't seen anything like this. Meet Fugglers, the stuffed animals which contain human teeth. Yes, that's right, you read that correctly. Artificial. Human. Teeth. Why those need to be in a children's toy, I'll never know. But Mrs. McGettrick, the UK-based artist behind Fugglers decided that they were necessary for the toys' structural integrity. You can find the atrocities on her Amazon store if you're so inclined to freak your kids out beyond their imagination.

We're back with a fresh bunch of the funniest parenting tweets we found over the past week while scrolling through Twitter. Parenting is full of moments that make you want to laugh, cry, jump off a cliff, and everything in between. So why not share those thoughts with the world, get some sympathy, and make other people smile while you're doing it?

Although the joys of parenting are endless, the struggles are equally consuming. Sure, we love our kids, but boy oh boy, can they test our patience. Luckily, Twitter serves as a much-needed venting platform, as well as providing an endless supply of empathy from fellow parents who are also losing their minds. Here are the funniest tweets about parenting that we saw this week. Scroll through, have a laugh, and then catch up on last week's in case you missed them.

Kids these days, eh? Full of confidence, cheekiness, and all the answers. They certainly are a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to influencing other kids at school. Teachers might have their work cut out for them for eight hours a day, but it's all down to the parents when it comes to having tough conversations. And based on the notes they received from their children's teachers, it looks like these parents have some pretty serious discussions coming up with their kids.

Another week has gone by, which means another week of parents doing their best with their little ones. But, as with everything in life, parenting comes with good and bad days. And when the bad days strike, Twitter is there as a platform to vent on, filled with parents who will empathize with your struggles and spur you on. Here is a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across this week, where parents try to keep their offspring alive without losing too much of their sanity. Have kids, they said, it will be fun, they said.

Some kids will eat anything and everything. And by some, I mean basically none. Any parent will attest to the fact that kids can be a nightmare when it comes to eating; most are incredibly picky and limit themselves to one or two things — usually chicken nuggets and chips, and nothing with any nutritional value. Mealtimes become a battle, usually ending up with kids going on hunger strikes and parents inevitably giving in and admitting defeat. One Japenese mom decided to combat this issue by turning her picky daughter's food into animated works of art to get her to eat healthily. Whether it's eggs in the shape of Winnie the Pooh or sushi snowmen, we're sure her daughter scoffs her mother's food down pretty quickly. Check out her incredible talent below.

If your kids love reading, it's essential to do everything you can to encourage that passion. But anyone with kids will know that anything they perceive to be your idea, they automatically don't want to be a part of, even if it will benefit them. So one dad, Professor. Robert McNees shared his trick on how to get his daughter to love reading, using reverse psychology. He Tweeted, "Somehow, I've lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn't yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries."

This simple life hack inspired others to Tweet the ways their parents duped them into becoming bookworms too, and it seems like it's quite a common phenomenon. Kids love reading, and parents love it when their children read; if only they could work together towards a shared goal without the need for trickery!

A very specific age that comes with a higher level of sass, more intriguing questions, and overall, just a bunch of madness. 

Luckily for us, parents document these precious moments and share them with the world via Twitter. 

Being a teacher is one of the noblest professions - being underpaid and overworked, to ensure that the next generation gets an education. But it's also a profession that comes complete with its challenges, including dealing with little kids' pettiness. Tattletales are an inevitable part of working with children, but sometimes teachers are presented with simply ridiculous scenarios. A Reddit thread asking teachers for the stupidest reasons a kid has told on someone else will provide you with endless entertainment and make you feel sorry for the teachers who had to mediate the scenarios these kids presented to them. Kids, eh?

Last week we featured a Reddit thread that had people revealing the most expensive things their children ruined by mistake. Our own Cheezburger users jumped at the chance to share some of their own similar childhood misdemeanors and we had to show you some of the best responses we received! We love it when our users share their stories with us... check to see if your response is featured below!

Hide and seek is an age-old game that can go one of two ways: really well, or really badly. We've bought you horror stories of adults playing hide and seek that went wrong, but here are some pictures of kids who failed at playing the game equally as bad, but differently. You know the drill... they can't see you, so they think you can't see them. Bless their little souls. Scroll through and chuckle at how badly these kids got it. 

Kids are the ultimate savage roasters because they're honest and don't hold back. At all. 

But it does make for some funny and interesting stories! And for that, we are grateful. 

If you're in the mood for more everyday kid shenanigans that parents have to deal with, check out these tweets from this week!

Having kids is a true blessing, but sometimes they can test our patience to unhealthy levels. For example, one thing that young children aren't so good at is understanding the value of money or valuables. So when they accidentally break something expensive or irreplaceable, unfortunately, you can't be too mad at them. Parents of Reddit have revealed the most expensive things their children ruined by mistake and I can only imagine the self-restraint they had to exercise in order to not kill their kids on the spot!
