parenting tweets

Having kids is a really rewarding, selfless experience. Sometimes you're so selfless that you pay no mind to the fact that your kids don't acknowledge your existence. You're a grown adult, and being ignored by your own children doesn't hurt at all. Or at least that's what you tell yourself as you cry yourself to sleep at night. Parents who are ignored regularly by their children took to Twitter to share the latest ways their kids acted like they didn't exist. Scroll down for the best of 'em. 

Parenting one child at a time is a tough enough gig, but when you have twins, then it's hellfire and brimstone. Sure, having two for the price of one gives you twice as much cuteness, twice as much love, and twice as many photo opps. But twins also mean double the trouble, which is something the parents of Twitter know all about. These hilarious tweets about the harsh realities of raising twins will make you realize just how tough of a gig it can be, proving that two for the price of one isn't always better.

Parents, you've made it through another week of keeping your offspring alive, and that's worth celebrating. But extra credit goes to the parents of Twitter, who provide us with daily entertainment while on the job, and it is a full-time job, which anyone with a child will confirm. So, here are this week's funniest parenting tweets, which might make you feel better about your parenting techniques. Or lack thereof.

Fatherhood is such a magical experience, but it's not all rainbows, butterflies, and diaper changes. Modern-day dads have dealt with the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you didn't think cherub children could get ugly, the dads of Twitter are here to set you straight on a weekly basis. Enjoy dads openly blasting their kids on the internet below.

Parenting is hard — ask anyone with a kid. Mostly, because from the second they are born, until the moment they go to school, you'll never again have a second to yourself. Your days of self-indulgence are over and you will never again know what it's like to lie in a warm bath with a glass of wine and a face mask without a little fist pounding at the door asking when you're coming out. Your kids own you now, and self-care is not in their vocabulary. These parents tweeting about what self-care looks like once the children come along are a stark reality check for any expectant parents out there who think they might be any different! 

Being a parent is challenging at the best of times, but having a daughter is a new level of difficulty. The sass starts before they can even speak, and it gets worse the older they get, and once puberty hits, forget it; you've already lost. You might be under the illusion that raising daughters is sugar and spice and all things nice, but as many parents can attest to, it's not just boys who are hellraisers. These memes are for any parent raising daughters, who might be wondering where to find their mind again after they've lost it.

Otherwise, dad bods, dad jokes, and dad tweets will cease to exist - and where would we be without those things?! Twitter dads are our favorite, and we will continue to document their fatherly shenanigans on a weekly basis. Scroll down for this week's best dad tweets.

Children are supposed to be bundles of joy, God's ultimate gift to the planet Earth - so why in the world don't they start acting like it?! Instead of taking on their terrorizing offspring head-on, they have strategically chosen to hide and tweet about their parenting woes from the safety of said hiding spots. Hiding from your kids ain't much, but it's honest work. Here are the best parenting horror stories in sweet, concise tweets.

Every parent thinks their kids are amazing, and they should! Every child deserves to feel special, loved, and encouraged. But... at what point does encouragement just become straight-up lies. When your child presents you with a page full of scribbles, well there's reason to praise your little Jackson Pollack, but after the fiftieth one in a row, you may find yourself running out of enthusiasm. Ah, the joys of parenting.

Parenthood is a life-changing experience in so many wonderful ways. Raising your tiny humans and watching them grow is a beautiful experience, but it's also a messy one. Any parent will attest to their kids finding ways to ruin everything in their path—from spilling food on the floor to ruining your expensive makeup to drawing all over the walls. If there's a way to destroy something, they will. If you're a parent, you'll relate hard to these hilarious tweets from exasperated parents about the daily havoc their destructive kids wreak.

Being a parent is the fullest kind of full-time job you'll find these days. Nine to five? Try 24/7. But don't worry, the hours go pretty fast considering you will never be able to finish all of the work required in a day. Not sure if you want to apply yet? Here's the kicker: The pay is virtually nothing. HOWEVER, you do get a bundle of joy that you get to love with all your heart AND you will gain an unlimited archive of amusing stories that can be shared on Twitter. Here are some of the funniest parenting tweets we found this week!

Parenting is an all-encompassing job. When you have kids, you somehow turn into a maid, a doctor, a nurse, a chef, an electrician a therapist, and a teacher overnight, all without a pay rise. But with your new and improved 'job' description, you pick up a bunch of skills that you wouldn't otherwise have learned. From knowing when the perfect time to throw away the flower your child picked for you, or how to shorten picture stories, the skills parents develop by mistake are useless in all other scenarios. These hilarious tweets from parents about the skills they picked up might just hit close to him if you have some little ones of your own. 

Every parent wants their children to be as creative and curious as possible. After all, that's how they learn about the world. Kids don't usually use common sense, but rather their imagination, and don't get me wrong; it's a beautiful thing. But sometimes, especially when it comes to creating imaginary friends, things can get a little... creepy. Parents tweeting about the hilarious but bizarre imaginary friends their kids made up reveals how these 'friends' can have quite an impact on the rest of the family. Things went from cute to creepy real fast!

Dads don't get enough credit, even though they try their hardest. Well, sometimes. So each week, we collect the funniest dad tweets, which sum up the joys, woes, trials, and tribulations of parenting from their perspective. We know parenting is a tough gig, but at least the dads of Twitter give us some entertainment at the same time. You can check out last week's list when you're done, in case you missed it.
