Parenting can be tough, but one thing that makes it a little easier is the ability to find humor in the chaos. From playdates to tooth fairy mishaps, here are some of the funniest tweets from parents that will have you laughing and nodding in agreement.
Frances Klein (@fklein907) perfectly captures the struggle of trying to figure out if other parents are “normal” or not. She tweeted, “There needs to be a word for the subtle hints you drop into conversation with the other parents on a play date to try and figure out if they’re normal or not.” As parents, we all know the struggle of trying to navigate the social dynamics of playdates and making sure our kids are hanging out with the “right” crowd.
Meghan (@deloisivete) shares a relatable story about the tooth fairy’s “normal retrieval window.” She tweeted, “Sometimes a tooth falls out right before bedtime, and this is outside of the tooth fairy’s normal retrieval window because she needs to go to the bank.” As parents, we often have to come up with creative excuses and explanations for our kids’ questions, and this tweet perfectly captures that struggle.
Drew Davenport (@The_Davenporter) shares a hilarious moment with his daughter’s new version of the popular phrase “easy, peezy, lemon squeezy.” He tweeted, “My daughter has been experimenting with her own versions of ‘easy, peezy, lemon squeezy’ and today she said ‘easy, crazy, mountain skeleton’ and that’s gonna be tough to beat.” Kids’ imaginations are truly something else, and this tweet shows just how creative they can be.
Kristen Mulrooney (@missmulrooney) shares a funny moment with her kids when they were asking about their birth times. She tweeted, “The kids were asking me what time they were all born and I said the youngest was born at 1:29am, and they all agreed that it must have been nice that she just came out while I was sleeping.” As parents, we often have to answer endless questions from our curious kids, and this tweet perfectly captures that struggle.
Girl Fieri (@realgirl_fieri) shares a funny moment that uncovers her daughter’s “scam.” She tweeted, “One nice thing about childcare is it helps uncover your children’s scams. My 3yo, who always insists I cut up her sandwiches, looked like I’d caught her hosting a kegger when I walked in to find her taking a big bite of a whole grilled cheese.” Kids are always trying to get away with something, and this tweet shows just how clever they can be.
Lady Lawya (@Parkerlawyer) shares a funny moment with her daughter and the concept of making a wish. She tweeted, “I just told my daughter, ‘It’s 11:11 make a wish!’ To which she replied, ‘My wish is that you go to the eye doctor because it’s 11:17.'” Kids are always keeping us on our toes with their witty and unexpected responses.
I Hide From My Kids (@IHideFromMyKids) shares a relatable moment with their 12-year-old who is starting to question the existence of the tooth fairy. They tweeted, “12 is a wild age because one minute they’re hanging out downtown with buddies and the next they’re asking for official confirmation that the Tooth Fairy isn’t real.” As our kids grow up, we have to navigate the tricky territory of explaining the truth about certain childhood myths.
RandomSprint (@RandomSprint) shares an adorable moment with their 4-year-old son who is curious about their work. They tweeted, “My 4 yo son, walking into my office, ‘Are you still working?’ ‘Yeah, bud.’ ‘How many more buttons do you have to press?'” Kids are always curious about what their parents do for work, and this tweet captures that innocent curiosity perfectly.
