Enjoy These Funny Tweets About the Realities of Parenting Siblings

Oh, moms and dads…we can only imagine the trials and tribulations that you’re experiencing right now.

Especially if you have MORE THAN ONE KIDDO to look after during these unprecedented and turbulent times.

You’re trapped in the house with no escape and, as you can probably guess, the kids are at each others’ throats…and then that spills over to the parents who then lose their minds and turn on each other, etc.

The whole thing is just a huge fiasco!

But, at least you can laugh with some of these funny tweets from parents who are parenting siblings…let’s take a look.

1. Yeah, pretty much.

You know it’s gonna end badly…

2. You know that’s the truth!

We’ve all been there before.

3. This is gonna get ugly.

Let the crying commence.

4. Back and forth.

It’s a non-stop tug of war.

5. Please, stop! It’s gonna be okay!

Stop before Mom gets here!

6. An offer you can’t refuse.

I’d like to know the outcome of this.

7. You don’t have a choice.

You’ll do it and you’ll like it!

8. Maybe in the shin?

This is a tough one…

9. That doesn’t really help…

And that’s not what I meant.

10. Sounds delicious!

And delightful!

11. We’ll be back.

But let’s try to save time, okay?

12. Just stop it!

Didn’t really see that coming…

13. Fight to the death.

Just like the WWE.

14. Ain’t that the truth?

Happens every single time.

How about you, moms and dads?

Are your kids driving you a little bit nuts right now?

Funny Tweets About Parenting Siblings

As someone who grew up in a house with four siblings, I can only imagine the daily hell that we put our parents through, now that I’m older and a little bit wiser.

There were certain days where all five of us kids were fighting, screaming, and threatening to run away. Good times! And I’m sure that my mom and dad were just delighted to be dealing with that kind of BS after working all day to put a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Mom and dad, I apologize and I’m still trying to make it up to you…and yes, I’m still the best child of the bunch.

Parents with multiple kids, these tweets are for you…enjoy.

1. That’s a long story.

Because we love them more than you…

2. It was an accident!

I swear!

3. Let all of them play.

Gonna need to talk to the city about this.

4. Stop it!

You are crossing the line.

5. Middle child gets it again.

It’s the “Jan Brady” syndrome.

6. It’s all mine now.

But I swear it was an accident.

7. Learn from your mistakes.

I mean…your gifts…

8. Not strange anymore.

Never thought you’d be here, did you?

9. All the small things.

Those can really set them off.

10. You’re just not ready yet.

But keep working at it!

11. Honesty is the best policy.

But still…

12. We’ll find him eventually.

Just don’t worry about it, okay?

13. I cannot tell a lie.

Well, they got you there.

Okay, parents, now we want to hear from YOU.

In the comments, tell us how it’s been going since the lockdown started with your kiddos.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Hilarious Tweets About How Weird Sibling Relationships Really Are

If you have siblings, you know how it goes.

You love them and you’d do anything for them…but they also drive you crazy, you fight with them constantly, and a lot of times you don’t even want to be in the same room as them.

Hey, it’s just the way it works!

I have four siblings and I can say that all of these tweets you’re about to see are 100% accurate.

Let’s get some straight talk about how sibling relationships really work.

1. Very strange…

True love is harsh.

2. Go get it yourself.

Your legs aren’t broken.

3. Funny how it works out that way…

DO NOT TOUCH.

4. I don’t like you right now.

But we all know there’s still love under it all.

5. Just stay away.

But you can count on me.

6. You hurt when they hurt.

But…you don’t want them to be around your stuff.

7. Nobody better touch you.

Or they’ll have to answer to me.

8. No favors. Ever.

But I’m glad you’re here.

9. Just can’t stand it.

Gotta stand up for them. Always.

10. We’re NOT hanging out.

But let me know if you need any real help.

11. No sharing.

Not today. Not ever.

12. Only you.

No one else is allowed to be annoyed by you.

How about you?

How do things work with your brothers and sisters?

Tell us all about it in the comments.

We want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Thanks!

Hey, moms and dads, how are you doing?

Does this never-ending lockdown and the learning-from-home thing have you at the end of your rope? Or are you dealing with it just fine?

Either way you look at it, parenting is a tough gig and moms and dads all over the place know that those little angels have a tendency to drive you up the wall…even when they put on their sweetest face.

You’re doing a great job!

That makes all the difference.

A Post Urges People to Replace “Moms and Dads” With “Grown-Ups”

Families come in all shapes and sizes.

This is something we were told as children, and it’s something many of us reinforce with our own kiddos, but there are still so many ways the world assumes that “parents” are “mom and dad.”

As I’m sure we’re all aware, some kids don’t have a mom or a dad. Some only have one. Some have two of one and none of the other.

This Instagram post reinforces the idea that, by using the term “moms and dads,” teachers and other adults, need to do more as far as remembering to be inclusive and welcoming of all types of families.

The post uses a screengrab of a tweet from Sirry Aland, PhD.

“Teachers, your class convos are broadcasted in everyone’s homes. The # of times the teacher has said ‘your mom and dad’ to my kid’s class is infuriating. But a BRAVE kid just said… ‘But I only told my grandma at lunchtime because my sister and I live with our grandma.”

Little sweetheart standing up for everyone like him, who was probably annoyed and a little confused about why the teacher was acting like his family wasn’t a real family.

The post encourages everyone who works with children to consider saying “your grown-ups” instead of “your mom and dad,” or “your parents.” It’s a simple switch but, like with everything new, might take some getting used to.

I know we can all do it, though, because if we work with kids, we care about kids – all of them, regardless of their situation.

As the post also points out, adult language and the way adults embrace a reality can make all of the difference to a little one still trying to make sense of things.

Give it a try; I know I will!

Check Out These Bean Pole Tents People Are Building for Their Kids

I know that some people are already thinking, “dang, parents are going way too far trying to make the experience of childhood magical,” but hear me out.

First of all, everyone is trying to cope the best they can right now, and second – I think half of the “magic” is for the parents themselves, not only for watching their kids’ eyes light up.

If this idea intrigues you, make sure and look closely at all of these images, plus watch the video below.

Runner bean tent!! #rookies #beantent

A post shared by Alison Scott (@a_l_i_s_c_o_t_t) on

Your kids can help out, which will teach them about growing and caring for plants, and in the end, the pretty little structures are sure to improve everyone’s summer.

And look at how happy this tot is in her bean bungalow that’s close to being finished…

Now, of course there are those who take this kind of thing MUCH more seriously… and this bean tent is LEGIT.

View this post on Instagram

We have been doing this bean tent for many years now, in the past couple years we have added many herbs around it and used it as the start to one of our little food forest permaculture areas. In keeping with trying to be more permaculture we plwanted Scarlet Runner beans for the first time I would say usually it look more full but it's stilldoing really well hopefully next year I won't have to plant anything there and the beans and dill will run wild together. #citystead #homestead #urbanhomestead #farmstead #mygarden #gardening #gardenlife #homesteadlife #bushcraft #growyourown #growyourownfood #growfoodnotlawns #homegrown #urbangarden #permaculture #foodforest #urbanfoodforest #beantent

A post shared by Joshua De Yonker (@thecitystead) on

Here’s a tutorial if, like me, you’re still wondering whether or not you can pull this off.

OK, I’m definitely doing this with my kids next summer. It seems so easy!

We could all use a little more magic in our lives, if you ask me!

Well, here we are, parents, and what do you have to say for yourselves NOW?

Are you having fun? We kid, we kid…we know your kiddos are the light of your life, but still…you have to admit that they tend to drive you insane.

Things You Should Never Say to Your Partner in Front of Your Kids

It’s good for children to hear their parents debate, split up chores, make compromises, and even argue, as long as it’s done with respect and apologies are also made public later on.

That said, a stable home and a solid partnership between parents is important to children’s development and emotional well-being, so here are 5 things you should never, ever say unless you’re in private.

5. My body is ____.

Image Credit: Pexels

Even if you feel uncomfortable or have gained a few pounds, making comments about your weight can have a negative effect on your child’s self-image.

Don’t talk about being “fat” or “skinny,” but it’s ok to say things about making healthy and good choices most of the time.

Your kids are always watching and listening, and they will internalize the messages you post about yourself.

4. You’re too sensitive.

Image Credit: Pexels

We’re never allowed to tell other people how they can feel.

Saying something like this invalidates the other person’s feelings and tells them they’re wrong to feel upset.

3. You never do anything around here.

Image Credit: Pexels

Work-life balance, and the unpaid labor we all have to do at home, is a sensitive topic.

In front of your kids, though, you should always strive to acknowledge how each partner contributes in different ways – even if the same person always makes dinner or takes out the trash.

2. I don’t care.

Image Credit: Pexels

If your partner is asking for your opinion, there are better and more polite ways to say you’re indifferent rather than saying “I don’t care.”

Try to give at least a little feedback.

1. Look what you did.

Image Credit: Pexels

This phrase makes the mistake into a big deal, which is rude and disheartening to the person who made it. Instead, you can try focusing on a) how the mistake can be fixed, and b) what we can learn from it for the future.

I’d like to think most of us didn’t need to be told, but you never know!

How careful are you about keeping things behind close doors? Tell us how you handle marital conflict in the comments!

Hilarious Tweets From Parents Who Just Needed to Vent a Little Bit

This sure is a tough time, isn’t it, moms and dads?

You’re stuck at home with the kids. Remote learning is taking up all of your time. The young ones can’t see their friends, so it’s up to you to keep them entertained…and the list goes on and on…

So that’s why it’s important to take to Twitter sometimes so you can vent about your kids or at least provide your fellow parents with some comedy relief…and I have a feeling that they’re really glad it’s not happening ot them…

Enjoy these funny parenting tweets while you have a few minutes of alone time!

1. This is very smart.

I gotta say, I’m impressed.

2. But those are the only things.

Otherwise, I’d be doing it.

3. Take it or leave it.

What do you want from me?

4. Maybe next week?

Don’t ask me that again!

5. No, don’t worry about it?

Just let it go.

6. Let’s go back to your original question.

In other words, let’s talk about death.

7. Thank you for that.

Very sanitary, don’t you think?

8. Might be time for therapy.

There’s a lot going on here…

9. That IS really cute!

How adorable is this kid?!?!

10. Life not imitating art.

That’s too bad.

11. I didn’t do anything…

You’ll get yours soon enough…

12. You did what you had to do.

 

Okay, parents, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, please tell us how it’s going in your household with your kids right now.

We can’t wait to hear from all of you out there!

A Stepdad Wanted to Know If He Was Wrong to Try to Protect His Sons From the Reality of Menstruation

Menstruation is a fact of life, and anyone who cohabitates with a female between the ages of 10 and 50(ish) at any point of their lives, for any reason, can expect to have to deal with the entire process on some level.

A fact that apparently didn’t occur to this man or his three older teenaged sons when he married a woman with a nineteen-year-old daughter.

The four of them share a bathroom, everyone gets along great, but this is their first time living with a woman for any sort of time.

Image Credit: Reddit

His oldest son, 18 (!) came to him and said they were uncomfortable seeing their stepsister’s period products in the trash can in the shared bathroom.

Instead of telling his son it’s a part of life and to suck it up, he talked to his stepdaughter, asking her to dispose of them more discreetly (or flush them, what?!).

Image Credit: Reddit

He was upset that she laughed it off, and even went on the offensive, and was even more irritated when his wife did the same later that night.

Image Credit: Reddit

Since he believed it was a real issue, he tried to talk to his daughter again, and was rebuffed with extreme prejudice.

Image Credit: Reddit

You will not be surprised to find that most on Reddit think OP (original poster) is, in fact, the a**hole here, a judgement that also extends to his sons.

Many people thought he’d missed a chance to help educate his sons on a natural process, and how to be better men.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that the sons seem pretty immature for their age, and never having lived with a woman is really no excuse for not being educated about how to.

Image Credit: Reddit

And pointed out that it’s best they learn about this kind of thing from a sister, and not after they’ve treated their first girlfriend or wife like some kind of leper.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others lamented the fact that way too many men are weird about feminine products.

Image Credit: Reddit

And yeah, I’m sure that girl has more than a few complaints of her own, suddenly sharing a bathroom with three teenaged boys, so I’m not sure they should be the ones complaining.

Image Credit: Reddit

OP did post an update, in which he admits that his stepdaughter and wife sat them down for an excellent PowerPoint, and that all is well.

Image Credit: Reddit

They even apologized.

This is about the happiest ending of an Am I The A**hole post I could imagine, and I love to see it!
