Choosing Favorites
They say that parents shouldn’t pick top choices among kids. However, let’s face it — each parent has a kid they love the most. Christopher Ashman told Twitter that he prefers his daughter.
Nonetheless, when you’re out purchasing shoes for your children with your better half and she asks which one’s your top pick, it’s safe to say that she implies the shoes, not the children. Obviously, his wife most likely wasn’t satisfied with the response.
ID Card
We’ve all been in this situation — as a kid, nothing is more baffling than school and as a grown-up, nothing is more disappointing than work. Unless you have your dream job, you presumably disdain work as well, at least sometimes.
This is what brings this Twitter user Rodney Lacroix and his child together. Rodney doesn’t like his work, while his child hates school. Thus, neither of them smiled in their ID photos.
Expectations and Reality
For some mothers and fathers out there, discovering that you’re becoming a parent can be quite shocking. You’re slightly frightened, but on the other hand, you’re totally excited — so much so that you begin preparing months in advance for that little one to come along.
Maybe, you envision your child to be a renowned NBA star, or a Nobel Peace Prize champ, or a virtuoso researcher. But, when your child begins growing, every other assumption that you made flies out the window. It’s likely that your kid will lick everything they can get their hands on.
Dump Yard Home
Can you guys recall Oscar the Grouch and his mainstream tune, “I Love Trash?” He was and still is a top fan choice of kids who might be sitting and watching Sesame Street on the TV after school.
His scorn for human conduct and liking towards apparently pointless things made him an eccentric, lovable character. @copymama states that every parent is essentially Oscar the Grouch. They’re drained and cranky from spending hours running after their children. No time to shower, parents basically live in a trash can.
Not Photogenic
Children can get excited by the smallest of things — rain, insects, animals; the list is never-ending. This Twitter user, @DaveLearnsToDad, shares that his kid loves getting his picture taken. Lamentably for Dave, little children have no understanding of how cameras work.
So, even before Dave will snap a photo, his baby continues to run at him to see the image. We guess his family photo collection would simply be a long segment of a blurry little figure running towards the camera.
Sock Story
Everyone would presumably be scarred forever on the off chance that you saw your kids in your room past midnight. Generally, however, it’s for ordinary things like having their socks fallen off, which is sufficient to aggravate a parent.
Twitter user Sarcastic Mommy has the ideal retribution plan. When her children asked her what being a mother resembles, she saw the chance and took it. Obviously, it included awakening her children at night, however, with regards to bringing up kids, everything seems reasonable.
Switch the Seat
Taking flights with children can be as horrible as a bad dream. Kids are eager, they’re irate, they’re grumpy, and they’re most likely crying. In the event that you end up stuck in a seat adjacent to a shouting baby, well, you’re out of luck. However, you may have the option to switch if your aircraft service is kind enough.
That is unless the screaming baby is your own. Twitter user @DaddingAround needed to track that information down in the most difficult way. Let’s just hope Jack didn’t find out about this…
Driving Lessons
Air travel is awful, yet have you at any point had to sit with your kids in a car for an extended period of time? Ya know, for a family road trip? From the very beginning, all you hear is “Are we there yet?” on repeat. It’s honestly astonishing how these parents figure out how to commute home safely.
Fortunately, revenge is a reasonable game according to this Twitter user. She bided her time long enough for her adolescent daughter to get her permit. Now, let the games begin!
Bed Time
As a child, you’d do everything in your power to get a few extra minutes before being rushed off to your bed. When you become a parent yourself, you get a taste of that medicine. Notwithstanding, parents consistently have stunts up their sleeves, which they use to get their little ones to bed.
Twitter user @Gooooats realized that kids don’t actually understand time. You can let them say whatever time they want and put them in bed two seconds later — they’ll never know.
Advantages of Being a Good Parent
At times, you restrict kids from getting things done, regardless of whether it makes them disdain you. Some of the time, you need to take one for the team. It means saying “no” when they need to go to that one gathering or mediating when they need to spend time with their questionable companions.
However, some of the time, it additionally implies preventing them from utilizing a chainsaw to chop down trees. They won’t appreciate it at that moment but they’ll get over it — after they’ve called you a horrible parent, of course.
Sheer Genius
It’s peculiar how children can be so naïve and inquisitive, but also the absolute smartest. Investigate what this Twitter user’s little girl said. Is that not a genius idea?
We’re living in the 21st century. Why hasn’t anyone considered creating edible tape to keep burritos together? Luckily, this girl did. @Mr_Kapowski surely has the right to be pleased. All things considered, he concedes he presumably brought forth Einstein.
Arbitrary Burst of Tears
It’s unavoidable, yet it’s what all parents fear — their kids throwing tantrums at the worst times. While they can be absolutely adorable, they can also be terrible.
Sometimes there isn’t even a reason as to why kids cry. Take this tweet, for instance. James Breakwell knows all too well that his children cry for no apparent reason.
The Dark Knight
An issue that numerous parents face with their kids is that they don’t tune in. It’s what your grandparents and parents dealt with, and you presumably face it as well. At the point when you’ve called them to leave for the umpteenth time and they don’t react, it’s the ideal opportunity for things to get serious.
@LurkAtHomeMom clarifies this cleverly. You begin by calling your kids all pleasantly, like Mary Poppins. As as you lose the patience, though, you suddenly transform into Batman — dark, agonizing, irate, and fringe crazy.
Empty Nesters
Watching your children leave home can be challenging and difficult. But, it can also be humorous for some. While Rodney’s kids here are still young, that hasn’t stopped him from thinking about the future.
Children can be irritating, and he discovers it profoundly impossible that he’ll miss them when they leave. His significant other appears to concur as well. If they wind up missing them, the truth will surface eventually.
Bizarre Questions
Twitter user @simoncholland has the correct idea in mind. In our current reality, where everyone must be grown-ups, kids unquestionably add a much-needed refresher.
They are curious and uncorrupted by the world, which is the reason they can annoy you about your third most loved reptile, and it’s impeccably acceptable. If you give this a shot at your work associates, you’ll simply get bizarre looks. It’s dismal, truly — Joe from work won’t ever realize the love for Komodo dragons.
Lemon Love
Kids are so peculiar at times; it’s almost as if they’re from another planet. First off, now and again, they become fanatically connected to lifeless things. Grown-ups do it as well, however, which is the reason why pet rocks are still in existence.
However, kids have a high level of obsessions. As @Jamberee13 acknowledges, now and then, you can invest immense measures of energy and cash to get them the ideal doll but they’ll likely choose the lemon instead.
Denoting Their Words
Sharpies are to kids what Lightsabers are to Jedis. Twitter user @thebabylady7 calls attention to this — in the event that you see a little child holding a Sharpie, you can be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will unleash ruin on your dividers, floors, and other bizarre spots in your home that would be out of your physical reach.
Is it accurate to say that you are certain your youngster isn’t holding a Sharpie at the present time? Better run like Usain Bolt to check!
Circle of Life
Even celebrities are not safe from the capriciousness of kids. A comical man, the beloved Ryan Reynolds clarifies some parenting skills. As indicated by his tweet, his little girl loves Disney films. Sounds ordinary, right?
Wrong! Aside from the singing and dancing, his little girl’s favorite part of Disney films is when the parents die. Blake and Ryan better watch their backs…
What’s on the Menu?
Remember Bing Bong from Inside Out? If your little child has an imaginary companion like Bing Bong, that’s marvelous.
If your kid is examining cannibalism with their lovely, imaginary friends, don’t stress — you’re not the only one. @dedrie77 is a mother to a four-year-old munchkin, and experienced something similar. Fortunately for her, her kid favored cake more. At least now she’s safe.
The Next Beyoncé
It takes a special ability to compose melodies, which is the reason such countless hopeful specialists neglect to become wildly successful. Nonetheless, kids have an uncanny imagination and endless spouts of creativity. This is the reason @copymama’s little girl figured out how to compose a tune on the fly while her mother was in the shower.
The melody, named “Please Let Me In,” was most likely a supplication to not allow the mother to have her security. However, these are minor subtleties. We’re certain that she would grow up to be a magnificent artist-musician like Beyoncé.
This Aged Well
One reason that kids can cause the most abnormal circumstances is their talent for letting out severe, however amusing, certainties. Still, you likely wouldn’t want to hear from your 10-year-old that he’s closer in age to 25 than you are.
Twitter user @threetimesdaddy basically took that kid out of the running for “favorite” — and all because of the child’s demonstration of mental fortitude.
A Few Questions Cannot Be Answered
In addition to the fact that kids love severe certainties and unusual inquiries, some of the time, they pose troublesome or difficult questions. Things like “Where did our pet dog go?” or “Where do children come from?” are altogether troublesome yet inescapable inquiries that a parent must answer.
However, for certain guardians like @sarabellab123, other questions are considerably harder to answer. Her kid makes an admirable sentiment inquiring as to why tacos can’t be eaten each day, and truly, we’re befuddled searching for an answer also.
Figuring Out How to Sneeze
When the 2019-2020 pandemic initially started, the primary beam of expectation came from news analysts and specialists. It was they who suggested sniffling and hacking on the elbows to limit the spread of germs.
@RodLacroix’s kids wound up taking the snippet of data in a literal sense and thus thought any elbow was reasonable game. Technically, the youngster has a point — the news never clarified that it must be your own elbow. This child might have a future as an attorney.
Stunning News
There are many achievements and milestones in a child’s life that excites parents – when they first turn over, figure out how to walk, say their first word, start school, or gets into college. There are also times that parents most fear.
@DadandBuried basically stated his own fear when he shared that his child figured out how to turn light switches on and off. Why is that frightening? Anybody with a kid will know. When your youngster can reach the light switches, you better believe that your home will transform into a disco.
Laundry Day
It’s very sweet when a kid wants to help their parent out with household duties and chores. Despite the fact that they have good intentions, however, it tends to do more hard than good — particularly when you’re in a rush. And it’s not like you can tell them “no, I don’t need your help.”
Thus, you end up like Jennifer here. A straightforward task, for example, winds up dragging on for hours. Plus, you end up with your best pair of jeans in the freezer.
Cash Problems
Children have the tendency to express the wildest thoughts, such as wishing for endless cash. Naturally, James considered this to be the ideal chance to teach his child about inflation.
Of course, the five-year-old isn’t quite ready for that economy lesson yet. And if they are, we’ll be taking a gander at the world’s most youthful financial specialist soon enough.
Do-nut Share
One of the burdens of having children that nobody discusses is the horrifying absence of protection. Guardians have yearnings as well, however. At times, they simply need to have a doughnut without anyone else around, which is the reason @abhorrent_wife chose to hide away in the storeroom to eat her doughnut.
In that sense, parents are very much like their children — they wouldn’t like to share their doughnuts.
Raised on Cartoons
Today, kid’s shows like Peppa Pig have dominated, and they appear to have a tremendous impact — so much so that children like @House_Feminist’s toddler have a slight English accent.
Truly, there’s no disadvantage in that respect. All things considered, she would fit right in as a Brit in the event that she decides to move to the UK one day.
Fortune Favors the Brave
There’s a great deal that grown-ups can gain from kids. One of the main ones is self-assurance and bravery, two adjectives that describe Simon’s little girl perfectly.
Most children probably have some fear of their mothers, however, this one stands out. She set out to request a snack minutes after denying dinner. Tragically, we don’t know what happened next but we hope that kid got her treat.
Nonsensical
Similar to how children can be daring, they can be comparably outlandish as well. Moreover, they don’t have the best idea of how the world functions — like when they request to eat soup with a fork.
Actually, it’s feasible for the kid to attempt but it’ll require some investment. By that point, he would grow up to know better.
Essential Hygiene
Kids have little awareness of cleanliness and germs. This is the reason they run around barefoot or lick the floor. Take @OneFunnyMummy, for instance.
Her baby likes to put her feet inside her mouth. For parents, this sounds extremely ordinary. Nonetheless, we can all agree that kids can be pretty gross.
Hos-tea-age Party
When you go through innumerable hours with your youngster as their playdate, you’re not alone. Being a parent implies being their amigo during play hours, however, it can be irritating when you have an errand at hand.
But, if you have a solid-willed baby, best of luck. @UnfilteredMama depicts the circumstance impeccably. It’s anything but a casual get-together — it’s a hos-tea-age party!
Flushed Away
Children can be outlandish and even throw a fit when their parent doesn’t let them flush the toilet. While we can assume that this Twitter user usually lets his kid do the flushing, he failed to remember it this time around.
Naturally, his kid wasn’t having it. Let’s just hope this daddio learned his lesson for next time…
Kitchen Rules
Cooking isn’t simple. There are many things you need to remember. There are immensely significant principles that make the specialty of cooking safe and hygienic. However, sometimes, we fail to remember the most significant and clear standard of all — yet this child learns it quickly.
As the girl of @saltymamas says confidently, don’t put your hands on your behind before you start cooking!
Like Mother, Like Child
Slowpokes or procrastinators raise slackers of their own and thus the chain is rarely broken. Some people even put off showering, and Snarky Mommy’s kid is no exception.
This Twitter user loves showers yet delays getting in the shower. Her kid adopted that habit and share the same feeling about bathtime.
You Stole My Candy?!
Remember the Jimmy Kimmel “I Stole Your Halloween Candy” segment. You know, the one where parents meddle with their children by revealing to them that they ate their Halloween candy while they were asleep?
And while this whole segment is quite clever, one Twitter mom actually did eat her child’s chocolate. From the sounds of it, though, it doesn’t seem like she’s going to take ownership in this case.
Little Monsters
Kids usually go into their parents’ bedroom to wake up their mother or father. That’s the reason Nate and his partner thought of the most inventive approach to keep their kids in bed throughout the night. After all, folktales never hurt anyone.
They may cause some children to have a few nightmares, however, it might be worth it if that means you’ll have a few extra minutes of shut-eye.
Where Are My Glasses?!
Why cry over something that you won’t ever have? Indeed, this kid was under the impression that he had been wearing glasses.
Still, despite the fact that he had gotten very vexed to hear the news that he doesn’t really wear glasses, we can assume that he got over it five minutes later when his mother turned on his favorite show.
BYE-BYE
What’s more comical than imagining a baby shouting “BYE” as they flush something down the toilet. It’s presumably not as entertaining for the parent who’s really encountering it.
In reality, their heart starts to race as they run to the restroom just to find that their little scoundrel has recently flushed that costly gold wristband down the toilet.
Rock-a-Bye Baby
When the kids wake up or are halted from nodding off for some reason, all parents realize that they’re doomed. Why? Well, now, there’s no way that your kid is falling back to sleep at any point in the near future.
Indeed, that little rascal will then keep you awake for hours and tire you out to the point of no return.
A Thing of the Past
We don’t expect any six-year-old child to know anything about aged technology. In any case, taking into account that this specific kid understands what a 4S is, we can’t resist the urge to shake our heads at the way that he’s never known about a house landline telephone.
While the majority of us these days don’t possess a home phone, they aren’t that vintage.
That Was All Her
Why are we getting the bizarre inclination that James was the one to really dress his little girl for pre-school that day? It’s expected for kids to make these kinds of mistakes when they’re first learning to dress themselves.
It’s a whole different story if the parent makes this kind of mistake. And it would be quite humiliating if this dad here got found out, so we can understand why he didn’t fess up.
Do as I Say, Not as I Do
We’ve all heard the saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” And this tweet is the perfect example. Just because mommy dearest here isn’t allowing her children to have brownies for breakfast doesn’t mean that she’s not allowed to enjoy them herself when the kids have gone off to school.
After all, doesn’t she deserve this treat? She knows not to have the kids in the house. This is strictly an ‘after they leave for school’ kind of arrangement.
My Hero
This is a truly ideal time in a parent’s life when their kid is too young to fully understand life. At this point, they can’t even tell the difference between their right and left hand.
Despite the fact that they’ll discover their parents’ imperfections eventually, moms and dads can appreciate the time where their children view them as heroes. Appreciate it while it lasts!
Watch This Kid Play With the Same Toy You Have
What is this new craze in which kids watch videos of other kids play with toys? What happened to playing with your own toys and running around outside?
And while we understand that patterns and trends continually change, we can’t help but feel a little sad that kids these days are so addicted to technology.
Defensive of Candy
When kids are so immersed in their own work, they probably won’t react to you. However, in the event that you end up opening a candy wrapper, be certain that your kid can hear you from miles away.
As Twitter user Jessie points out, they’re a tad overprotective of their sweets. Then again, that might just be the best way to get their attention.
Babysitting
Being the parent of one child and two children are entirely different things. After a certain point with kids, we guess that all parents stop caring.
You couldn’t care less about who babysits your tyrants — you’re certain that your kids will be fine. In fact, they may give Bloody Mary a run for her money.
Mixed Signals
No one in this world changes their perspectives and opinions quicker than little children. They love something one moment and detests it the next. This is something that occurred to Jessie when she needed to make three separate sandwiches for one child.
Sounds similar to Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except this Twitter user’s child gave up on her version of porridge altogether.
Playing Princess
We’re all kids at heart. And whether we’d like to admit it or not, many of us still enjoy animated movies, trips to Disney World, and playing dress-up.
Take @LurkAtHomeMom, for example. While we can appreciate the fact that she loves playing with her daughter, perhaps she takes “princess” time too seriously. From the sounds of it, hubby thinks so too.
Music Taste
As a parent, you hear kid’s songs play on repeat all the time. You’ve heard “Baby Shark” so much that you know each line by heart, and can sing it flawlessly. So, naturally, you want to throw on your own music once in a while.
For Heather, however, her kid simply wasn’t having it. We have no idea what this Twitter user’s music taste is like but considering how confident her two-year-old was in her own music taste, we can assume that “Baby Shark” was a superior choice.
