kids

Parenting is a hoot. Right? I mean why else would people keep having kids? Frankly, it beats me. If only parents were a little more honest with how they felt most of the time, i.e. sleep-deprived, irritated, and covered in baby vomit. these ecards are pretty upfront with how some parents view parenthood, but how many of them do you relate to?

It takes a savvy comic mind to pack a quality joke into Twitter's 280 character limit. Not everyone's got the chops. Their one-liners fall flat. Their tweets smack of try-hard desperation. Not these tweetsmiths. These writers and shillers of amusing observations have managed to find that harmonious sweet spot of humor and brevity. 

Whether it's Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, or Moana that you fancy out of the big-name Disney films, we're pretty sure this collection of memes has a little something for everyone. And if you're craving some Disney content that's a little more unsavory, eBaum's World's got ya covered.

If your kids love reading, it's essential to do everything you can to encourage that passion. But anyone with kids will know that anything they perceive to be your idea, they automatically don't want to be a part of, even if it will benefit them. So one dad, Professor. Robert McNees shared his trick on how to get his daughter to love reading, using reverse psychology. He Tweeted, "Somehow, I've lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn't yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries."

This simple life hack inspired others to Tweet the ways their parents duped them into becoming bookworms too, and it seems like it's quite a common phenomenon. Kids love reading, and parents love it when their children read; if only they could work together towards a shared goal without the need for trickery!

Most humans with senses of humor can appreciate a good dad joke. They'll either make you laugh or roll your eyes - both reactions are strangely satisfying. Dad expert and Twitter personality @thedad has been dropping tweets that exemplify sh*t Dads say, and the rest of the social media site decided to follow in kind. The results will leave you feeling personally attacked whether or not you're an actual father.

Parenting comes with its highs and lows. Of course, no one talks about the highs because, let's face it, bragging parents are possibly one of the worst types of people on the planet. But the lows... well, everyone wants to hear about the lows because the lows are funny, especially when they're put on Twitter for the world to see. So, each week, we compile a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to give you a taste of the trials and tribulations (and occasional joys) of parenting. Scroll through this week's haul and then mosey on over to last week's to get more parenting survival tips and tricks.

We have to give them O for originality

Some people say that motherhood/fatherhood are the greatest gifts of all time. Parents know that it's not so simple. Some of the joys include sleepless nights, a layer of crumbs on every surface, and the notion that maybe solitary confinement wouldn't be so bad after all. Of course, there are ups with the downs, but these memes are for the parents that reject sugarcoating parenthood and just want to laugh the pain away.
