An Instagram account called Kids Are The Worst was started by mom Anna Macfarlane, who is showing the not-so-glamorous side of being an insta-mom. Using the tagline "It's ok to laugh. You were the worst once, too", Anna shows that sometimes the only thing to do when your kids are being terrors is to just laugh, or else you'll probably cry. Using pictures of old classical art, she puts her own relatable captions on them, which will make all parents feel less alone in the wonderful journey that is parenthood.

This time of year makes it seem like winter will never end. It's cold, it's miserable and it's grey and summer seems like a world away. You're patiently counting down to your summer vacation, especially if you have kids. Because summer vacations are made up of those blissful moments where your perfectly behaved kids will accompany you sightseeing around Europe and won't complain once about leaving the hotel pool for just one goddamn day. Ok, we're exaggerating. They might have the odd tantrum here or there. Fine, if we're being honest, is it really even a vacation if your kids are with you? Sure, there are some fun moments, but you'll probably need another vacation right after it to recover.
These parents on Twitter managed to capture the all too relatable nightmare moments of traveling with kids, which will make you glad that it's not summer yet!
Kids don't understand the world. To be fair, neither do most adults, but at least we are able to control our emotional responses when things upset us (which again, to be fair, even some adults struggle to do). But however nice it be to be able to have a full-blown tantrum every time we have a bad day or someone pisses us off, unfortunately, that's only a privilege that kids get. We have to put on a smile on our face and just get on with it.
A Facebook page called Reasons My Son Is Crying is a collection of the brilliantly funny and illogical reasons why kids have had tantrums, as captured and submitted by their parents. Here is a selection of some of the funniest reasons for their meltdowns and even though we feel sorry for these little ones, they've certainly given us five minutes of chuckles.
'Out of the mouth of babes' is a painful reality for most parents. But one of the best things about kids is their ability to call it as they see it, often leading to innocent but brutally honest comments after making an observation or being asked a question.
@livefromsnacktime is an Instagram account that documents these witticisms, started by NYC based Kindergarten teacher Alyssa Cowit. She believes that "children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they're brilliant – and that it's a teacher's job to take what children say seriously." Alyssa started the account — which now boasts 241k followers — "to help adults understand that children are not always acting outrageous to seek attention, but instead thinking out loud, soaking up new information, and solving problems 24/7!"
Check out the hilarious questions and comments made by hers and other teacher's students, who also submit to the account.
If you're a woman, sometimes your ovaries will scream "WANT!" at you, when you come across a cute baby. That is known as baby fever.

You're quite welcome.

Sesame Street is a children's television series filled with great educational messages. And even though it debuted over 50 years ago, kids everywhere (and parents) still watch the beloved children's show.
And even though parents do watch it with their kids, many will say it is absolutely the ban of their existence. With those high-pitched character voices, songs that feel like someone is drilling into your ear-hole, and just nonstop confusing backstories.
Luckily, the parents of today have Twitter to express their true feelings. (Sorry parents of yesterday, we truly do feel your pain)
