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!
Have kids they said. It will be fun they said. Or, as one parent accurately tweeted this week: "I hate when you want to be the best mother and wife ever but you also need to like eat, sleep and take the occasional shower." Yep, sounds about right!
Here are some of this week's funniest parenting tweets and here are last week's in case you missed them.
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!
Everyone knows and can relate to the anxiety caused by sending a text to the wrong person. Whether it's to your boss, an ex-boyfriend, or sending a text about someone to that person by mistake, these slip-ups can cause a mini heart-attack each time. But perhaps the worst is when you send a text to your parents containing some sort of sexually explicit message that was clearly meant for someone else. The stress that causes, is another level, and reading through these texts can give you a taste of just how bad some kids have put their foot in it.
There are a few things you definitely don't want your parents catching you doing, especially when you're a teenager. Watching porn and doing drugs are a few of the things that come to mind, but the worst thing in the world for your parents to walk in on? Yep, you guessed it. Having sex. There's not really any coming back from your parents walking in on you doing the dirty (think American Pie) and you just have to accept that things will never be normal again. These Redditors reveal just how awkward things got when their parents caught them mid romp and we're cringing so hard for these poor individuals. Read on and you'll see what I mean...
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!
Today's society assumes that everyone wants to be a parent. And while many people do, there are plenty who don't and their rights and opinions are are equally as valid as those who do want kids. Someone started a hilarious Twitter thread listing all of the reasons why babies are problematic, which, although meant as a joke, does raise some points which those who choose not to have kids might use in support of their argument. Read through this funny thread and see how much you agree with the points!
Breanna Lockwood, a 29 influencer from Chicago, together with her husband Aaron, 28, has been struggling to conceive naturally for many years. Having undergone several surgeries, various attempts at harvesting eggs and failed embryo transfers, as well as miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, they have decided to take drastic measures to get pregnant.
Breanna's 51-year-old mother has lovingly offered to be a surrogate mother for her daughter's child and is now carrying their baby which was conceived back in March. Although Julie (Breanna's mom) is 51 and surrogate mothers must be 35 or younger in order to carry a baby, her exceptional health means that she was approved and could help give her daughter the ultimate gift. Check out the adorable pictures so far of their incredible and unique journey.
Parenting is hard at the best of times, but during lockdown, getting some alone time is nearly impossible. Yes, we all love our kids, but being around them 24/7 is sometimes a little. Too. Much. And by that, we mean a total nightmare! These parents have a thing or two to say about it and have taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations about never having a minute of peace and quiet to themselves. The funny parents of Twitter are at it again...
When it comes to life hacks, kids know how to do it best. Whether it's to get out of being in trouble with their parents or at school, they've always got a trick or two up their sleeves. Because let's face it, if they can get away with it, they'll do it. These kids show us how it's done by finding cheeky, yet simple solutions to the problems life throws at them.
Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z... the olden days... where do these new definitions end? Between all the new technology that's coming out every two minutes and the economic hardships that face young people today, it's hard not to compare the generations gone by to the times we're living in now. These tweets perfectly sum up the differences between growing up in our parents and grandparents' time, vs today and they're funny, relatable, and accurate (if not a little depressing).
Kids say some crazy things, which make us laugh and roll our eyes. But sometimes, kids say some super creepy stuff which can weird you out and make you question everything. A Reddit thread asking parents to share things their kids did, which suggested they may have lived a past life, revealed some truly terrifying answers. Scroll through for some creepy stuff and decide whether you think these kids are speaking from the beyond.
Every parent knows how hard it is to leave their children with a babysitter. After all, your kids are your life and soul, and trusting them with another human being who isn't related to them is a big deal. But even harder than that is finding a good babysitter who you can trust. One option is to always have a Nanny Cam up so that you can check in to see how they are fairing with your children when you aren't there... because you can never be too careful, right?
A Reddit thread asking people to share the things they've caught their babysitters doing has revealed some heartwarming but also some shocking stories. Just shows you can never really know what's going on when you're not there...
Kids say and do some pretty weird things. It's just how they're built; they have no filter and not a care in the world. As they get older, they (hopefully) develop a sense of what's socially appropriate and what isn't, but until that happens, kids will be weird and wonderful kids, doing some pretty strange stuff in the process. A Reddit thread asking parents to share the weirdest things they've caught their children doing has revealed some hilariously strange confessions, some of the funniest are below for your viewing pleasure and amusement.
All stages of parenting are hard. When your kids are newborns, you don't sleep and when the 'terrible twos' hit, you have to deal with tantrums all day. But when they reach the teenage stage, well, that's a whole new ball game of difficult. Those teenage hormones will control your life and there's absolutely no telling how it will go. These parents describe just how difficult and frustrating it is being the parents of teenagers and how nobody can be prepared for it however hard they try.
