kids these days

Parents with a Twitter account and a bunch of unruly kids make a humorous combination. That's why we gather the funniest parenting tweets we find each week in one convenient list for you to browse through for some weekend laughs. Here are Twitter's funniest parents from this week, and here are last week's in case you missed them.

Every parent tries their best to raise their kids as upstanding, law-abiding, and morally correct members of society. And most parents do an OK, to good-ish job, even though it's one of the most challenging tasks in the world. But teaching your kids about moral ethics and codes of conduct isn't always as straightforward as it sounds, which these parents learned the hard way. Commenting on a Reddit thread asking for the lessons parents tried teaching their kids that completely backfired, these stories are painfully relatable. Nothing burns more than a moral lesson biting you in the ass, especially by your kids. These stories of kids embarrassing their parents and totally missing the point of whatever lesson was trying to be taught; these examples are hilarious and painful at the same time.

Most people have a love-hate relationship with dad humor. And by that, I mean they hate how much they love it. The awful jokes make us groan, roll our eyes, and sometimes, genuinely laughing out loud. And when they share their dad jokes, quips, and rants about parenting on Twitter, we love it even more. Each week, we scour the internet for the funniest dad tweets we can find, and we love sharing them with you. When you need a pick-me-up, scroll through these tweets, then last week's, and then the week before that.

So, each week, we compile a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to give you a taste of the trials and tribulations (and occasional joys) of parenting. Scroll through this week's haul and then mosey on over to last week's to get more parenting survival tips and tricks.
