This one's for all the parents out there just trying to get by. And by the looks of these brutally accurate, apparently relatable tweets and memes, that is NO easy task! It's one filled with struggles and tantrums and humility gained through defeat.

Parents are capable of wildly entertaining savagery. For some of us, they've known us our whole lives, and in that case; it is a very easy thing to roast call someone out. You know all their silly quirks, enthusiasms, tics, and habits.
If you've spent any time in the world of retail, you're familiar with the type of customer who, no matter how wrong they are from the start, will never take no for an answer. They will be rude and insufferable to employees for nothing more than the satisfaction of "winning" a social interaction. Well their kids don't like them either.
This enthusiastic dad experienced the face of outrage in a very concerned principal, after teaching his kids extreme nerf gun war tactics. It sounds like he met the school's disapproval with nothing but proud admiration over his kids' performance in the nerf gun arena of chaos, within their school. Also, that school sounds quite intense! An overall enjoyable tale.
The wild parenting here comes from a loving place. That being said, the examples in this list err on the side of absolutely ridiculous. But hey, not ALL of these kids look like they're having a terrible time of it.
When this stepdad heard loud noises coming from his stepson's bedroom some time around 4am, he pieced together that there was a special visitor around. Meanwhile, the kid's mom either actually had no idea, or put on the show that she didn't, that her son was hosting a one-night-stand. From there, the morning after followed. And we get to enjoy a very surprised stepdad Twitter document his running reactions to the unaware mom, and smoothly secretive stepson.
The frustration is real in these tweets about the trials and tribulations of raising a kid. Parenting tweets have an unfailing ability to make us question why anyone would want a crazy little mini-me.
These dads are just being the daddest dads ever. It's all jokes by dads and jokes about dads. So many jokes. So many dads. Just about the father-est stuff you ever saw. It's all lawn mowing and complaining about your kids. If you want to see some pure pun-tastic dad jokes then you can find some here.

This dad's idea to mic up his 4-year-old son at hockey practice was pure genius. Naturally, what ensues is a heartwarming assortment of quotes from kids being ridiculously adorable, and unintentionally hilarious.
A stinging reminder to BEE good!. These kids got a bit of a kick in the ass by karma, when they went about disrespectfully knocking over a calm and calculated bee keeper's hives. If you don't find a little bit of a smile on your face, picturing that old man driving by and seeing those kids experiencing the sting of their regrets, I'll be surprised.
Andrew Sipowics had some pretty impressive news for Twitter when a kid left a note on his banged up car. When we were in 6th grade, all we were worried about was video games and being terrified of girls. Anyway, since the hit and run, the bus company paid for the damage and fired the driver.
The internet is rife with people trying weirdly aggressive tactics to get sweet deals. They don't usually work, but boy are there a lot of them. There's an especially huge amount of people who are constantly claiming to be buying gifts for their sick children, asking for a ridiculous price like 20 dollars for a playstation 4, then turning around and blowing up on the person they're trying to buy from. Y'know, fun.
This twitter thread gave way to people looking back on those occasionally painful, cringe-packed, silly moments from the days of their youth that were on brand, for the way they find themselves presented to the world, present day. Sometimes we unintentionally act out who we are, before we know it further on down the road. If that means you're an injury-prone clutz, pull up a seat, and join the club.
When these parents went snooping on their kids they discovered the kinds of unexpected truths, that can turn someone's world upside down. Goes to show, sometimes the best course of action could be talking first!
