We’ve collected some of the funniest spot-on parenting posts of the month from X. Scroll through them and see which ones you connect with the most.

Bored Panda previously spoke to Dr. Amy Webb of The Thoughtful Parent, who shared her insights about common parenting challenges. According to the mom of two, most couples hit a snag in their relationship because of a lack of communication.
“Many couples don’t discuss their child-rearing ideas before having children, so many issues come up that they haven’t talked about in depth. Even if the partners share similar values, the daily life of parenting requires many decisions and compromises that can raise difficulties for couples.”

Dr. Amy says it is natural to feel some stress when raising children. She reminds all parents not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
“Keeping the long-term goals you have for your child in mind makes it easier to compromise on these smaller issues.”
Moms are under different stress levels because they are the child's primary caregivers. Because of all that pressure, they develop what parenting experts describe as "mommy brain."
Simply put, when your mind is too preoccupied with your maternal obligations, you forget mundane details like where you last put your keys or even forget a coworker's name for a moment.

To better understand what goes on in a woman’s mind during mommy brain episodes, Atlanta-based mother of two Divya Vaswani shared her first-hand experience in an interview with Very Well Family.
“It feels as if something is always missing,” she explains. “Something as simple as ‘chair’ wouldn’t come to mind even after staring at a chair. It can feel like you’re in a constant state of fog.”
Just like in these tweets, a few funny moments can come out when mommy brain strikes. Here’s what happened to 32-year-old Chicago resident Carly Kuikman.
“My poor son did end up at the pool swimming in his shorts once,” she recalled. “While not a big deal on its own, before we left the house, my husband asked if we had everything we needed for the pool.
“Diapers? Check! Towel? Check! Change of clothes? Check! It wasn't until we were in the locker room changing that I realized I forgot his swimsuit.”

In Toronto, in 1985, I had the usual vasectomy, excellently well performed, no pain or discomfort - back to work the next day, cost nothing. And my Wife could stop worrying about miscarriages. Good decision.
Because of their role as caregivers, moms feel the brunt of the exhaustion. According to a 2023 article by the Pew Research Center, they are more inclined to say that parenting is much more complicated than they thought.
Mothers also tend to feel judged by their parents or in-laws for how they raise their children.
Regarding how they treat their kids, statistics show that dads are more likely to admit giving their children too much leeway to do whatever they want. Fathers are also more inclined to raise their kids similarly to how they were raised.
And because of this, more dads also feel judged by their spouses for how they raise their children.

Not a child anymore but there are a few things that intellectually I know have mayo in them (Can’t stand the stuff) but I ignore. Logic does not apply with my weird food issues.

I cannot make myself eat a sandwich with mayo and/or mustard. Egg, tuna, or chicken salad? I'm so there!

My kid does not eat fresh tomatoes, but his favorites are tomato soup, pizza, spaghetti bolognese and everything drowned in ketchup... 🤷♀️

Honestly, same. Tomatoes are too squishy and only taste good cooked.

However, despite these inevitable difficulties, the research showed that most couples find parenting rewarding and enjoyable. They are also aligned in their goals for their children and want them to grow up to be honest, ethical, hardworking, and ambitious individuals.

In common parlance, an Irish exit (or "Irish goodbye") refers to someone leaving a social gathering without notifying the host. “An 'Irish exit' is another name for slipping out the back (or front) door seemingly unnoticed by the host,” source: national etiquette expert Diane Gottsman at today.com

Raising two daughters on my own, I can relate to a lot of this and it's funny as hell. Also now that they are out in the world, both highly succesful, the thought that I accomplished this makes my life meaningful. But now it's PARTY ON DUDES!

We have had a few hot days in the uk in the last week. As the house gets hot, we removed our son’s duvet and just put a duvet cover over him. When he woke up, he asked where the “night cover” was. I pointed at his bed, he replied asking where the “inside night cover” was. Then he remembered the word “duvet”. He also corrected his teacher in a maths lesson when the teacher was adding fractions. After a bit of back and forth, the teacher looked at it again and had to admit my son was right and he was wrong. It gave the class a good laugh.
