30 Of The Best Parenting Tweets Of The Month (August Edition)

Trump in 2013 : Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible. Also Trump in 2020 : As the president of the United States you can not hold me responsible for the inadequate and incompetent way I handled the pandemic, nor for all the people that have died due to that inadequacy and incompetence.

Who on God's great earth would do a thing like that?

Excuse me, folks. But President Trump never ordered Democratic governors to put people recovering from Covid in nursing homes. In the exercise of the division of power in a Republic, governors make the decisions for their states, not the president, and ten of those governors acted in concert by placing sick people in nursing homes and thus, raising the number of Covid deaths by 40% (NYT).

Only 9k according to the CDC idiots

Stupid.

This is wonderful. Besides increasing her reading ability, she is learning to spell, grammar, expanding her imagination and learning about dreams.

Love this 🙂 reading is an amazing brain food 🙂

Brilliant!!

I am 66 and have a tremendous love of reading. I am a self-taught speed reader. I lost count of the hours spent under the covers, as a child, with a flashlight or night light plugged into an extension cord. I mean, you have get creative sometimes, right?. After high school, I attended vo-tech school and finished with a degree in Electronic Technology and an FCC 2nd Class Radio Telephone license. During my classes first year, everyone was given reading test, for speed and comprehension. Unfortunately for the rest of the class, a cousin of mine and me blew the curve right out the window. We both ended up helping the older students in the class with the algebra and trig formulas in the basic electronics courses and later in the advanced electronics classes. We also taught them how to use a slide rule instead of a scientific calculator. This was due to the fact that if you went to Atlanta to take the FCC exam for the FCC license exam, you could only have a slide rule.

May I also recommend "1-2-3 Quiet Game, Winner gets $1.00". The best dollar you will ever spend

1,2,3 I'm gonna fart! works just as fine

Tell the kids you are going to lay down and to wake you in 30 minutes so everybody can clean. You'll likely get the longest, quietest nap of your life. (Of course, this is only appropriate if they are old enough to be up, unsupervised.)

My dog does the same thing, but she's small enough to put into my backpack to finish off the hike.

My kindred spirit lmao. She's adorable

That's not your daughter. That's a lizard taking in the sun's heat from the ground.

That little girl has a future on the stage!

Awww...she is too cute for words!!

At this point does it matter if it's a walk in? LOL

Excellent example of you hiding away from life though 🤫

I have a FBI investigator at home- food and beverage investigator! Me eating chocolate,3 year old comes:”What are you eating?”. I: “Nothing”. He:”Open your mouth.”. I give him the rest of chocolate.

Brilliant~!

What is this ? A cake, and ice cream ? Both ? oO

I never did that and wouldn't. If I wanted that last snack, I would cut into three equal slices and add something else cut in three. Watermelon , a clean old sheet laid on the ground , watermelon in the middle and very large knife and lots of chopping and told the the clean up this mess. They knew to clean up even the sheet and rines.

I'm tellin"

My son calls me that and then i get into a discussion that Gen X...my mom is a boomer...you can call her that.

I would just confiscate his devices. Why should I punish myself by turning off the wi-fi?

My agreement with my teenage daughter was that household chores had to be done before any time on the internet. I was coming home from work to find dishes sitting in cold, scummy water ("I'm soaking them, Mom!") or not done at all, the dog messed on the floor because she didn't let it out (or she opened the patio door on a rainy day and let him run in and out at will and track mud all over the place, etc. So one day, the modem took a field trip in my purse to the office. No internet and she had no clue why.

My son tried to "Okay Boomer" me once (he was just teasing, not actually being rude). I was like, "Uh, no. I'm a Gen-Xer. If you're gonna try to insult me, at least get your terminology right." We both laughed. 😂😂😂😂

Now that's how you parent!!!

Uhg not every husband is like this. I know it's common for Boomer generations but not for some younger ones. I cook almost as much as my wife does and we always trade chores. If she cooks, I clean; if I cook, she cleans. And we always wait until everyone sits (even if in front of the TV) before anyone eats. It's a sign if respect and just good manners.

My mom made SURE I knew how to cook before I ever left home for college. I was single for six years after I left home. Note to all single guys out there that are now engaged to be married, learn to cook your future wife's favorite dishes from HER MOTHER. Your wife will love you for it and her mother will love you even more. Even if you don't actually wind up married, you learned something new for yourself. My wife and I celebrated 42 years this past February. We are both retired now, but when we were both working, I usually got off work before my wife. This allowed me to get home and start supper and check on the kids and my wife's mom, who lived with us after her dad passed away.

i dont get it

And now I know too, I never even thought about it before..

I do not understand the logic of this and I'm a married woman with 3 kids. If Goldilocks arrived at a certain time at the bears house (they went for a walk) and the food had different temperatures that means that the mom filled first her plate, then she filled the baby's and last, the papa bear's plate (assuming it was her that cooked and filled the plates). I never put food for me first (actually, I leave my plate last to be sure everyone else has enough).
