Twitter user (and exhausted parent) @scottlincicome took to Twitter after a particularly harrowing set of dessert negotiations with his children on July 8, 2019. His jokey tweet asked Twitter to ask him anything about the exchange with his kids, and the thread turned into a sort of bonding session for parents who could relate. The tweets might not be for everyone, but if you've ever caved for your spawn, you'll appreciate the anecdotes.

Matthew Green got a little more than he bargained for when he tweeted that his son wanted to dye his hair blue, but only if Green would also do it. Another Twitter user replied saying that if Green were to follow through with it, they would donate $300 to RAICES, an organization that provides free and low-cost legal services to immigrants and refugees.
Sometimes you gotta make yourself look stupid in the name of a good cause!
As we grow older we start to understand why parents occasionally lie to their kids; 1.) because it's funny as hell, and 2.) because sometimes you just don't have the patience to explain things to someone who will either not fully understand or throw a temper tantrum over it.
These poor Twitter users are describing the ridiculous lies their parents told them as kids!
Motherhood is anything but a walk in the park. While the responsibility of raising a human being (or three) seems to have its emotional rewards, we can't help but imagine that it's exhausting, and occasionally soul-crushing. These child-rearing, however, seem to cope with that parenting roller coaster via savage senses of humor. We're here for it.
We think many people would agree that parenting is the hardest job out there. If you're thinking about having kids, it's important to see both the positive aspects of raising kids and the tougher parts!
But at the end of the day and after all of the hardships, most parents would probably say that parenting can be incredibly rewarding!
Holy mother of cringe stories, Batman.
"Alternative parenting" can be a good thing to an extent; the child can get a sense of freedom while building up trust between them and the parents. But sometimes that tactic goes waaaay overboard, as is exemplified by this lady, who wanted an outdoor bedroom for her unvaccinated two-year-old. Sometimes kids just need to be parented, dammit!
We're not ashamed to admit that we are absolutely fascinated by wine moms. The basicness of their memes, their bizarre love for minions, and the sheer idea of how many gallons of pinot grigio they must have consumed as a demographic. To celebrate this very specific breed of wine-loving human, we've put together some of the most cringey and basic #winemom content we could find. National Wine Day may have been this past weekend, but if these moms are concerned, every day is National Wine Day!
If you're already a parent then you'll know very well that it's just a fact of life that kids will have total meltdowns over the dumbest crap. They're just kids after all - their brains aren't developed enough to fully articulate what it is they want, or to understand why certain things are the way they are. Just remember that if you're someone who's thinking about having kids, you'll have to deal with this on the reg!

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.
