parenting

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.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that. 

Each week, we round up the best tweets that parents have tweeted over the past seven days, relaying the cuteness of their offspring. And by cuteness, we mean ruing the day their little ones were born. Because as joyful as the parenting journey is and as fun as kids can be, the reality of parenthood can hit hard and fast. And no one is funnier than a parent who has had enough. So enjoy this week's funniest parenting tweets, and then check out last week's for more parenting humor.

While kids have garnered plenty of a reputation for being flat out silly and dumb, they can also get devilishly inventive when faced with the possibility of getting in trouble for a continued pattern of unacceptable behavior. This toddler decided to dip into their word bank and pull out a new word for the explicit purpose of being able to cuss at their parent without having to actually "swear." 

Soo, TIL I might be a dad without children. 

Remember those horrible jokes your dad used to tell? Rick Grimes sure does, and he doesn't think something like the zombie apocalypse should spoil all the fun. 

It's that time of the week where we bring you the funniest eye-rolling collection of dad tweets we came across over the past seven days. Twitter is the place where dads come to life, and we see dad humor at its best. Scroll through this collection, groan loudly and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

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. 

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?
