Parenting FAILS

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.

It's not an easy gig raising kids, and motherhood especially is a relentless labor of love. Moms, quite frankly, you don't get enough credit for doing the fantastic job that you do, and so on Mother's Day, we're here to celebrate you and all you have given up to raise your little ones. From your pelvic muscles being shot to sh*t to never having a full night's sleep ever again, to having to answer a million "why" questions from your toddler, you give up your body, sanity, and emotional well-being to have children. I swear your kids are grateful to you for it, even if they don't show it. So in your honor, this Mother's Day, here are the funniest tweets from moms we saw this week, which will remind you that you're not alone in the perils of motherhood. Twitter is truly the place for all mothers to come together and rant about the trials, tribulations, and occasional joys of motherhood. And here are last week's funniest parenting tweets for when you're done with these.

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. 

Parenting is all fun and games until you haven't slept for six years and you have old spaghetti hanging out the back of your jeans. Yeah, that's a thing. So if you're an exhausted parent, or you know an exhausted parent, then these parenting memes will be accurately relatable on a deep level.

Having kids is hard work, no matter how experienced you are. And it doesn't matter how many parenting books you read; until your kids come along, there isn't much that can prepare you for the life-changing experience of becoming a parent. It's one of those learn-on-the-job roles that doesn't pay anything and requires you to work 24/7. Why do we do it? Honestly, I'm not sure I know. And clearly, neither do the parents of Twitter, who manage to succinctly sum up the trials and tribulations of parenting in a hilarious way. Each week we compile the funniest parenting tweets we found, which might make you feel better about any of the struggles you face while attempting to raise your kids. And here are last week's funniest parenting tweets in case you missed them.

Parenting is a privilege that not everyone deserves — a fact which usually comes to light once these people have already had their children. But sometimes, you can tell that a couple has bizarre parenting ideas while they are still pregnant, and you can bet that things will only get worse once they've given birth. One telltale sign could be taking creepy, tacky, and cringe-worthy pregnancy pictures, like this group of soon-to-be parents below. I'm not sure who told them that it's a cute idea to dress your pregnant belly up like a basketball or to pose with a gun, but they were wildly misinformed.  Check out these horrifically awkward pregnancy photos below and cringe along with us.

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?

Parenting is no easy feat, and as anyone with kids will know, it is a journey full of moments that make you want to laugh, cry, jump off a cliff, and everything in between. Instead of suffering alone, why not share those thoughts with the world, get some sympathy, and make other people smile while you're doing it? Twitter is here to give you the appreciation, empathy, and cheerleading that you need to keep you going for another week of parenting, and this week's funniest parenting tweets are just as good as last week's funniest parenting tweets.

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. 

That moment when you realize something completely life-changing is honestly better than any drug I've dried. It literally feels like a brain blast from Jimmy Neutron and it's so satisfying. I feel like the older we get, we get less and less of these moments, but it's crazy every time. Children are the lucky ones because they are just beginning to understanding the world, and boy do they make some hilarious realizations.

If you have kids, or you just want a bit of that 'brain blast' nostalgia, you'll love these tweets!

Being a parent is probably the most challenging and most unforgiving job there is. It's 24/7, and your kids aren't even grateful for what you do for them most of the time. But, we don't do it for the thank you's; we do it because we love our kids. Right? So when you're feeling overworked and underpaid, a good old vent might make you feel better. Luckily, Twitter serves as a platform for parents to vent their woes, frustrations, and funny quips about their kids. Here are the funniest parenting tweets we found this week, which will brighten up your day with some humor and might make you feel less alone in your own parenting struggles. And here are last week's funniest parenting tweets in case you missed them.

It's that time of the week, where we gift you the gift of the funniest dad tweets we found over the past seven days. It's your collection of dad humor at its best, for you to laugh at, cry with and relate hard to. Parenting isn't easy, and dads try their best... sometimes.

And here are last week's funniest dad tweets in case you missed them. 

If you have kids, you'll know how much they love playing with crayons. And by playing, I mean drawing on any surface they shouldn't and smearing them into the carpet. In short, all crafts designed for kids are just nightmares for parents. Whether it's Play-Doh, glitter, or crayons, kids will find ways to use them in all the ways they weren't intended to be used. These funny tweets from parents sum up just how sick of crayons they are, and how close they are to boycotting them altogether. Kids might brighten up your life, but they can be total nightmares when they want to be. 

Parenting is a full-time, all-consuming job. You can never switch off, you can never take a break, and you don't get extra pay for the hard parts. In fact, you don't get paid at all, so it's only natural to need a good ol' vent now, and then when going gets tough, the tough get going. And what better place to do it than on Twitter, where you can get endless empathy from all the other parents out there. So here are this week's funniest parenting tweets, which you'll relate to if you're also going through the struggles of everyday parenting.

Parenting techniques change from generation to generation. As new trends and technologies develop, so do the struggles that parents come up against as they attempt to keep up with their kids. Nowadays, kids communicate via social media, which means parents need to catch up and quickly. Specifically, the mystical world of TikTok, which kids spend hours on, learning complex dance moves, how to cook pancakes a million different ways, and how to get revenge on their crush. Parents struggle to understand the appeal and tweet about their frustrations at needing to learn yet another social media platform. Parents, these relatable tweets are for you to make you feel less alone in your TikTok journey. Or lack thereof.
