Fatherhood is a gift that many take for granted. Although kids come with their fair share of headaches, they are still a beautiful addition to family life. These dads have got into the full swing of things when it comes to being a father, and I'm sure their kids feel the love every day. 

Parenting is one of the most demanding jobs in the world, but somehow parents make it work every time. Even when their little darlings are driving them up the frickin' wall. But thank God for Twitter, the platform for parents to vent the trials and tribulations of their everyday struggles and find solace in the company of other parents who have lost it. Welcome to this week's funniest parenting Tweets.

Parenting is a full-time job and a pretty relentless one at that. There's no clocking off or switching shifts; being a parent is a permanent position, which involves the good, the bad, and everything in between. From the mess to the permanently empty wallet, to the spit-up every three seconds, parenting has its trials and tribulations. Parents are sharing on TikTok how you can tell they have kids without actually saying they have kids, and their videos are the most relatable thing ever. The trend was started by TikTok user @mommacusse, who showed how people can tell she's a parent without her saying anything. So whether or not you have kids, you used to be one, so you will relate hard to these funny videos.

Everyone knows that parenting isn't the easiest gig, but parents are masters who make it work. But what makes it easier, is having a nanny. Or, a batch of hilarious memes that you can relate to and know you're not alone. You. Are. Welcome. 

Parents have the most challenging job in the world — and let's not pretend parenting is anything short of a full-time job. But they don't get enough credit for raising tiny humans into fully formed, mostly functioning adults. When things get tough, they take to Twitter to let out their frustrations and vent to fellow parents who get it because parenting struggles are real! And so, each week, we collect the funniest of these vents and make a list of funny parenting tweets. This week's haul is as entertaining as the week before and the week before that.

Announcing your pregnancy to friends and family is an exciting moment for all couples. Whether it's face to face, via text, or facetime, there are many creative ways to relay the big news. Although some couples don't have any creativity at all, others go all out. And then there are the ones who go a little... too all out. These ridiculous (or cute if that's your thing) pictures may or may not give you some inspiration on how to announce your pregnancy.

Every parent thinks their children are the smartest, the cutest, and the overall best humans on the entire planet. And ironically, bragging parents are among the worst people on the entire planet and they all need to be shipped to an island somewhere where they can fight to the death over whose child can recite the alphabet backward before even being born. One father took to Twitter to brag about his children's intelligence, slam the public school system, and promote his new book. Needless to say, it didn't go down very well with other parents or teachers. Follow below to see how he was mercilessly trolled. 

Any parent will confirm that kids are both a blessing and a curse. Sure, when they're watching TV, eating their favorite snack, or asleep, they're a doozy. A dream! But most of the time, they're a total nightmare, making you wonder why you ever had them. But parenting is always easier when you can vent about your kids on Twitter, and these parents have got the hang of it pretty well. Welcome to this week's funniest parenting tweets.

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. 

Pregnancy photoshoots have become something of a right of passage nowadays for expecting moms. Whether it's a homemade setup or the work of a professional photographer, couples love to capture their pregnancy on camera. Most couples can pull off something somewhat classy, beautiful, and even heartwarming, capturing the moments before their lives changed forever. But some couples get it so wrong and create something so awful that their pictures make you question their parenting abilities. These women and couples show off their pregnancy photoshoots, which can only be described as tacky, cringeworthy, and embarrassing.

When you grow up, you assume that everything your parents say is true. After all, adults know everything, right? All those rules you had imposed on you that might have seemed slightly weird at the time, you just took as a given. It's only once you grow up and discuss them with other adults that you realize how fricken weird they were! A tweet asking people who had strict parents what the "weirdest rule they had growing up" was, has revealed some hilarious and weird practices that will either make you feel like you're not alone or be grateful that your parents weren't THIS weird! 

In recent years, the conversation surrounding toxic masculinity has sparked some critical debate. Society holds some pretty archaic views regarding the stigmas still attached to men who express their emotions or do things perceived as 'soft' or 'feminine.' Although awareness is increasing, there is still a lot more progress to be made. One father, Eric Owens, experienced this first-hand when he posted a photo collage on Facebook of him and his son lying in his arms over the years, including one when his son was a teenager. His post, which he captioned "18 years later and he still under my arm," went viral, with thousands of people commenting on it. Although many of the comments were positive, a good handful of them (mostly from men) was negative, stating how strange they thought it was for a father to show affection to a grown son— something only a mother should do. Someone posted it all on Tumblr, adding a rant about how this was a classic example of the toxic masculinity pervasive in society and people are agreeing. What do you think about it all?

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! But, through all the trials and tribulations that parenting brings, you've got to be able to laugh your frustrations away, and the parents of Twitter certainly do an excellent job at it. Here is this week's collection of funniest parenting Tweets for all parents (and non-parents alike) to relate hard to.

Dads often get a bad rep when it comes to parental responsibilities, and if this guy is anything to go off, we have no idea why. Not! Kenny Deuss from Belgium has taken parenting humor to a whole new level by photoshopping his baby daughter into various dangerous situations and sending them to the baby's mom whenever she checks in on them. The first time nearly gave her a heart attack, and we're not surprised. From browsing a baby gun website to sitting on cliff edges, to being trapped in a washing machine, Kenny certainly knows how to make a picture raise some eyebrows. Thankfully since then, she has gotten used to this odd parenting style and even looks forward to them. But she sure must have a lot of patience for Kenny and his antics. Check out some of his hilarious photoshop works of art below, and you can visit his Instagram page for more of his masterpieces.

Every parent can relate. Putting a baby down for a nap or even a good night's rest is no easy task. It's like they have a sensor or something and they know exactly when they are being put to bed. "Oh, about to hit the comfort of my bed. Let me sing you the song of babies everywhere!" 

Parenting is full of joys, but it is also full of woes. And those woes come in the form of tiny people with sticky fingers and a sharp tongue. Here are a bunch of parenting memes that you will appreciate if you have kids. Or, if you are a kid. So basically, they're for everyone.
