Parents Share When They Found the Humor in Their Child’s Meltdown

One of the best things you can learn to do as a mom or dad is to laugh in the face of the absolute absurdity that is life with little kids most days.

They have no idea how to human, or how to life, and sometimes those things combine into an epic explosion of emotions.

As their parent, it’s your job to catch the mess and show them how to wrestle it all back in the box – and trust me, that’s easier to do if you don’t take any of it too seriously.

13. Tell yourself again how you should get ready earlier.

I’ll wait.

12. Is there an appropriate time to play with butter?

You know what? Don’t answer that.

11. No explanations necessary.

Let that be a lesson for everyone else, as well.

10. At least he’s honest.

And curious, too!

9. The silent scream.

They can hold their breaths for a really long time.

8. Even butterflies can set them off.

You really never know.

7. He’s just worn out from the water park.

Not that it helps you now.

6. Enjoy her not being able to spell while it lasts.

Then again, she probably wouldn’t care anyway.

5. Kudos to Mom for knowing the difference.

Hat’s off to moms of girls.

4. Yes I think she’s doing it right.

If not, who will know?

3. It’s a disappointing world.

On the upside, we’re not incinerated.

2. *sets tweet down*

*backs away slowly*

1. That must have been a good one.

I bet his wife is thrilled. For today.

These are some high parenting marks!

I hope that the next time my kid melts down I can remember to be so cool under pressure.

Parents Who Were Tough Enough to Laugh in the Face of Tantrums

No one likes it when their kid throws a tantrum, but listen – it’s inevitable, and it’s not your fault, no matter what sort of judgmental stares you get in the line at the grocery store.

Learning to manage emotions is a normal and healthy part of childhood, so there’s no reason to feel embarrassed.

An excellent lesson, but if you can go one step further and learn to laugh about it, you’ll be on your way to being as chill as these 10 parents.

10. It’s a short list.

Non-existent actually.

9. A miracle is one word for it.

I guess it depends how much you love dealing with yourself.

8. Well that’s a conversation.

Yet another one you probably never imagined having.

7. Probably time for one last call of your own.

You’re gonna need it to get through bedtime.

6. Who could stay mad at this face?

No one in their right mind.

5. Seconded and carried.

How could it be any other way?

4. And again at 5 am.

Or any other time of the day, randomly.

3. He’s just worn out from the water park.

Not that it helps you now.

2. Enjoy her not being able to spell while it lasts.

Then again, she probably wouldn’t care anyway.

1. Just in case you missed it.

It’s hilarious how they think we’re deaf.

 

I think whether or not you’re able to laugh depends on the day. Like, today, I wasn’t able to laugh that much. Because my kids were being monsters.

But Fridays… oh yes… that’s my laughing day.

Tell us your secrets for navigating a public tantrum down in the comments – we need tools!

Sink or swim, kid.

Image Credit: Twitter

It’s going to be a long decade or so of taking, though.

Recent Parenting Tweets That Want to Make You LOL

It can be pretty hard to find reasons to laugh these days, which is exactly why we need to hold onto the things that bring us levity like grim death.

Also, it just might be a concern for you…

Parenting Tweets That Are Too Funny to Miss

If there’s one thing that’s true about the internet and being a parent, it’s that tweets describing the hilarity of our lives are like lifeblood.

They’re also never in short supply, though it can be hard to weed out the best of the best – but we believe that’s exactly what we have for you here.

17. That’s a gender reveal I could get behind.

The only one, perhaps.

16. Or just being visible around someone she knows.

Speaking as someone who was once a teenager.

15. I mean, she’s got the basic concept.

A+ parenting.

14. There’s nothing in my life that’s not sticky.

Nothing. Not one thing.

13. We all have our strengths.

And our weaknesses.

12. You just want to make sure you heard what you think you heard.

It’s good to take a breath.

11. You put mom in charge and this is what you get.

Sorry not sorry.

10. Warmest regards.

We’re going to be here awhile.

9. Now they’re all you have left.

That’s just how they like it.

8. Those days you forget…

All you can do is laugh at yourself.

You can never tell what’s going on in their minds.

Payback, baby.

5. We’re all making our own rules, now.

Do what makes you happy.

You must really be committed to fitting into your jeans.

Not in animation, though.

2. Yeah, you asked.

That’s what you get.

1. Where to even start?

I honestly have no idea.

Parenting Tweets You Don’t Want to Miss

If you’re wondering if you’re the only person out there with crazy kids, a life that always feels up in the air, and a job that just won’t quit – in the year on steroids – you’re definitely not.

And if you need proof, let me offer up these 14 parents who are hilariously muddling through it all, just like the rest of us.

14. It’s important to be practical.

I approve of this parenting tactic.

13. Just living the dream here, people.

The things no one tells you, I swear.

12. Given the current state of the world, they’re learning it sooner.

Dammit.

11. This child is going places.

Not sure where yet; have to wait and see.

10. They weren’t bothering you though.

I fail to see the issue.

9. Never rob a house with young kids.

Or older kids parents don’t have money or nice things lol.

8. Hey, you gotta ask for what you want.

Otherwise you won’t get it for sure.

7. A “miracle.” Sure.

Let’s go with that.

6. Otherwise you could be taken straight jail.

I don’t make the rules, guys.

5. You can say you’ve had your workout today.

Now go and get a glass of wine.

4. She handled that about as well as can be expected.

Which is to say, probably laughing herself to death.

3. It’s never really what you expect on any given day.

That keeps it interesting, I suppose.

2. Kid has your number.

That’s what you get for raising him right.

1. But seriously don’t do this.

It’s terrible advice.

I’m definitely feeling more at home in my zany life!

What’s the silliest happening at your house since all of this started? We’d love to hear the story in the comments!

These Parenting Tweets Hit All the Right Notes

Here’s the thing about parenting tweets: just when you think you’ve seen all of them, and there will never be more that impress you or make you laugh, someone proves you wrong.

Or in the case of these 15, more than one someone. At least, we think so!

15. And that’s just for the parents.

The rest of you saps can find your own.

14. It is a time-honored tradition.

It shall live long after your kids and grandkids are grown.

13. Those two things do not go together.

If you’re without screens, no one is relaxing.

12. If you want people to meet you where you are…

Everyone should bring earplugs.

11. I think they wear name tags.

This is a really good question though.

10. It’s technically the same thing.

A mean teacher would still mark it wrong on a test, though.

9. He might as well join the fray.

He’s no less informed than Karen from high school drill team.

8. All necessary school supplies if you ask me.

Or anyone else attempting this feat.

7. How to be a Queen, 101.

She’s being taught well.

6. You definitely can’t answer those in a minute.

Or even in a week.

5. That pretty much sums it up.

They’re cute though.

4. Everyone knows this will happen.

Everyone who has ever been inside an elementary school, anyway.

3. Mothers do not get enough breaks.

Especially not in the current scenarios.

2. Decompression takes time.

You can’t rush these things.

1. Bless her heart.

This made me snort-laugh.

 

One of my parenting goals is to one day make one of these lists!

Tweets From Parents That Sum Up Distance Learning

There have been no easy decisions for parents, educators, or any of us over the past few months. Some parents have chosen to take their chances, or feel as if they don’t have a choice in sending their kids to in-person school.

Others, though, are tackling “distance learning,” which is not supposed to be like homeschooling, but kind of is.

And these 17 tweets show us just how well (or not) everyone is coping.

17. Kids gonna be kids.

They’re never going to change, and honestly, would you want them to?

16. This is honestly how I feel in meetings.

And I’m an adult. Technically.

15. Feeling her teacher’s pain now, aren’t you?

Donate all the extra school supplies next year.

14. We all should have just taken the year off.

Unschooling, I believe it’s called.

13. Somehow, that’s the least of our problems.

We’ve definitely got more than 99.

12. You have to stay on top of them.

No relaxing allowed.

11. They’re never on mute when you want them to be.

It’s one of the laws of the universe.

10. I fail to see the issue.

Everyone likes to see pets.

9. How are teachers supposed to prepare for this?

They’re not, and they need booze for the holidays.

8. People love to learn the hard way.

It’s just who we are.

7. That’s a 10 minute conversation.

Or longer, tbh, depending on how old the kids are.

6. You do what you have to do.

No one is judging you. We’re crying in our own pantries.

5. These are important updates, people.

We’re all wondering whether or not the tooth fairy showed up yet.

4. I’m sure she played it off like she wasn’t talking about Zoom.

But we all know she was talking about exactly that, because we feel the same way.

3. Make him walk the dog.

That’s more exercise than I ever got in gym class.

2. Is that all?

Seems like a conservative estimate.

1. And then you have to explain you were talking to the dog.

Or just go ahead and die of embarrassment.

 

We’re going to make it, y’all. We are.

If you’re distance learning, which one of these hit you the hardest? Tell us in the comments!

Here Are Some of the Best Tweets From Parents We’ve Seen in a While

Parents have some of the best Twitter accounts – at least, that’s what I think now that I’m a parent. We just love to congregate and tell war stories and reassure one another that yes, it’s definitely a phase (because it’s always a phase!).

If that sounds like something you need in your life, then please enjoy these 14 lovely tweets!

14. This is the best joke I’ve read in awhile.

And what an excuse for class!

13. Kids are gonna be kids.

Get some tweezers, teachers.

12. Probably more than once.

And if you’ve got two kids (or more), my heart is with you.

11. I’m not sure he knows what that means.

Bless his heart.

10. It’s a beautiful name.

If only it had worked out.

9. That’s the perk of being the teacher.

I hear you get gifts on holidays.

8. “Oh.”

Run if they begin a sentence this way.

7. Honesty is the best policy.

Also they don’t need a reason.

6. Kind of makes you want to cry, doesn’t it?

You’re welcome.

5. Wasn’t that the goal?

Maybe not in so many words.

4. After having two kids, I think this is scientifically accurate.

Fight me.

3. “Walking the dog” is the greatest excuse to escape ever.

May I also recommend listening to audiobooks or a podcast while you do?

2. It’s the patience part that’s the hardest.

It will be the test of your life.

1. It really is.

But I mean, it’s all exhausting, so.

I want to virtually high-five all of these folks!
