Have kids, they said. It will be fun, they said. Sure, it's all fun and games until your kid smears poop all over the wall. Or they're screaming bloody murder because you cut their sandwich into a square shape instead of a triangle, you monster!

Here is this week's collection of funniest parenting Tweets for all parents (and non-parents alike) to relate hard to.

Parenting comes with its highs and lows. Of course, no one talks about the highs because, let's face it, bragging parents are possibly one of the worst types of people on the planet. But the lows... well, everyone wants to hear about the lows because the lows are funny, especially when they're put on Twitter for the world to see. So, each week, we compile a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to give you a taste of the trials and tribulations (and occasional joys) of parenting. Scroll through this week's haul and then mosey on over to last week's to get more parenting survival tips and tricks.

Every parent tries their best to raise their kids as upstanding, law-abiding, and morally correct members of society. And most parents do an OK, to good-ish job, even though it's one of the most challenging tasks in the world. But teaching your kids about moral ethics and codes of conduct isn't always as straightforward as it sounds, which these parents learned the hard way. Commenting on a Reddit thread asking for the lessons parents tried teaching their kids that completely backfired, these stories are painfully relatable. Nothing burns more than a moral lesson biting you in the ass, especially by your kids. These stories of kids embarrassing their parents and totally missing the point of whatever lesson was trying to be taught; these examples are hilarious and painful at the same time.

Each week, we round up the best tweets that parents have tweeted over the past seven days, relaying the cuteness of their offspring. And by cuteness, we mean ruing the day their little ones were born. Because as joyful as the parenting journey is and as fun as kids can be, the reality of parenthood can hit hard and fast. And no one is funnier than a parent who has had enough. So enjoy this week's funniest parenting tweets, and then check out last week's for more parenting humor.

Little kids are adorable, especially when it comes to DIY and showing affection. Whether they've drawn you a picture in school or made you a gift from the random sh*t they found around the house, anything they produce is precious. But sometimes, their creations are so bad, you can only laugh. But you love them anyway, right?

Parents with a Twitter account and a bunch of unruly kids make a humorous combination. That's why we gather the funniest parenting tweets we find each week in one convenient list for you to browse through for some weekend laughs. Here are Twitter's funniest parents from this week, and here are last week's in case you missed them.

That familiar feeling when the tiredness hits, your eyes start closing, and there's nothing you can do to fight it. We've all been there — most likely in the middle of a work meeting — and the struggle is real. If only we could take a quick ten-minute power nap to give us that energy booster necessary to see us through the rest of the day. But alas, napping is frowned upon in the workplace, and so coffee will have to suffice. But one of the perks of being a toddler includes being able to nap whenever the moment calls for it, and these kids show us how strong the force is! Whether you're lying in a pile of lego (ouch) or sitting on the toilet, once the sleepy's hit, there's nothing you can do about it.

If you have kids, you'll relate to the fact that you're not really in charge. You might think you are, and you might act like you are, but our offsprings control our every move. Whether it's hiding our snacks from their wondering eyes and hands or concocting elaborate tales to throw away old toys in secret, parents hide more from their kids than kids hide from their parents. These funny tweets from parents being busted by their kids are accurate and relatable and make you realize who really runs the show.

When 2-year-old Theo from Salt Lake City, Utah, discovered an old decorative Halloween skeleton in his parent's basement, he didn't realize that he had also found his new, unlikely, best friend.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Theo's mom Abigail explained how the special friendship began in September. Just as they were about to leave their house for a trip to a reservoir, the air felt moist, which, Abigail explained, was a rarity in a Utah home. Upon investigation, she found that the water heater had flooded the basement. "The basement is unfinished, so it wasn't that big of a deal. While I was cleaning up the mess, Theo found the skeleton among all of the decorations. Once I had everything cleaned up, [it was time to head] to the reservoir. However, he refused to get into the car without his skeleton. So the skeleton came along on a fun adventure with us. Since then, they have been inseparable."

Theo named the skeleton "Benny", and has provided Theo with some much-needed company after the pandemic has stopped all playdates with kids his age. He takes Benny everywhere with him and loves his new bony friend.

They say it takes a village to raise a child... and nowadays, that village is Twitter. It has become the place for parents to turn to vent their frustrations, air their grievances, and seek much-needed empathy for the trials and tribulations that parenting brings.

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.
