Raising children is no easy feat, as every parent will attest to. But some stages of parenting are easier than others. The notorious 'terrible twos' have a terrible reputation, but no one talks enough about the 'threenager' phase. What is that you may be wondering? Well, as one parent put it, a 'threenager' is "A three-year-old with all the emotional instability from the terrible twos but with more of a vocabulary, mixed with the rebellious attitude of a teenager." If you have survived this stage of the parenting journey, you'll relate to these tweets from parents also attempting to make it through to the other side. And if that stage is yet to come, then I wish you all the luck in the world; you'll need it!

"Have kids," they said. "It will be fun," they said. Said no parent ever! Sure, babies are adorable. Yes, they are the apples of your eye. Of course, they make you beam with so much pride and love that you could burst. But, when you channel that same intensity of emotion into your feelings when your toddler tips all the cat food on the floor, puts your keys in the toaster, or draws all over the freshly-painted walls, then you might relate to the frustration in these pictures. Because the truth about parenting is, there will be times when you want to literally murder your kids. Or at least give them up for adoption for a week or two, because, like, come on, you deserve a f*cking break! Parents, can you relate?

"But why?" is a question that all parents dread. Usually, it's because they don't know the answers and don't want their kid to know, but sometimes it's because there is just no answer. Reddit asked parents of the internet for the "why?" questions their toddlers have thrown at them that even Google couldn't answer and some of them are truly unanswerable. Check them out below.
