Parenting is full of constant surprises. Some of them appear when you find qualities you didn’t know were in you. One example might be the unexpected inner peace in a moment of total chaos around the house. It might also be the Hulk-like strength when your kid is in danger or the ninja-like reflexes when they are asleep. In some cases, it is the sudden ability to write material good enough for a parenthood-themed comedy show.

Here at Bored Panda, we appreciate the creative input moms and dads provide for the online community. Therefore, we have created a list of some of their best humorous statements that perfectly portray life as a parent.

If you’re done scrolling through these Tweets from January, make sure to check out our December edition for more.

One of the most beautiful things about parenthood is witnessing the different stages of kids’ development. Despite their unique character, most of them have one thing in common—parents often say they grow up too fast.

Since they can not stop the Earth from turning, parents find alternative ways of freezing the moment. Some make baby scrapbooks, others grab their cameras. A few might even start journaling with great detail to describe every significant milestone of their baby’s life.

Luckily for us, there are parents who choose Twitter as their notebook and share their gems of family life with the rest of the world. As a matter of fact, 23% of moms and dads online use Twitter to state what’s on their minds.

There was something I read that having three parents would be the best thing due to the fact you can have two of them working full time and have the third as a stay at home parent.

Parents can be sure they will never run out of content for their hilarious tweets. Mostly because there is never a dull moment with kids. They can turn something as mundane as grocery shopping into a performance when they decide to throw a temper tantrum on aisle two.

That is not their only forte when it comes to the day-to-day, though. Children also excel at rating the food that’s been served to them. And they make their evaluation clear, whether it’s a frown, a nod of approval, or dinner flying across the kitchen table.

Some kids are more talkative than others, but most of them go through the phase of the million questions nevertheless. It usually starts with the good old why? as asking this is one of the regular steps of a toddler’s development.

As they get older, the topics of questions can go in whichever direction. At times, there is no rhyme or reason for the things your offspring wants to know, but you better be ready with some answers. Otherwise, the interrogation might never end.

Unless they’re sleeping blissfully, children seem to always be on the go. That makes unexpected moments of silence—one of the parents’ main causes for concern. Such pauses often mean that kids have done something they shouldn’t have, or they’re about to. Especially when they join forces with other children, as they often create their grand plans on the wavelengths of a whisper.

Another power that kids have is manipulating their parents. It might be something as little as delaying bedtime, but they know all the right strings to pull to make it work. That provides even more material for these parents to share, as children’s methods of persuasion are usually very creative. Or absolutely hilarious.

Haha my daughter turned 6yrs old for an entire year she was asked by her uncle's "how old are you?" She'd say "six" then "Your sick? What's wrong?" When she turned 7yrs "you want some devon?" 8yrs "I know we're mates" haha drives her nuts but what are uncles for?

These Tweets cover nearly every aspect of parenting reality. The reality that lots of people imagined differently before having children. They might have said they won’t be doing things in a certain way, but once you become a parent, you just do what you got to do. Even if it means ice cream for dinner or an additional 15 minutes of TV in times of crisis.

When it comes to parenting practices, there is no one perfect method. Moms and dads find ways that work best for them, whether they’re similar to how they were raised or completely different. A recent study found that nearly as many parents choose the former as the latter. 43% of people say they raise kids the way they were cared for, while 44% take a different route.

My superpower as a Nurse is drinking my tea (or coffee)luke warm. Without pouring it down the sick when it is stone cold and there is no way I am reheating it in the microwave that is waaaaaaay down the hall in the break room.

Children never cease to amaze their parents, no matter their age. From surprising (at times, nearly philosophical) questions coming from a toddler, to witty remarks of a teenager. As they grow, memory is filled with so many examples, it might become difficult to store them all. That’s why noting them down might come in handy, whether it ends up on Twitter, or not.

My friend, Mansa Musa looks at the pile of gold your kids think you have in the bank, and thinks it would be ridiculous to have that much money.

Can confirm. Out of observation of friends/siblings, thankfully, being an uncle can be tiring enough for me.

When I was 3 I released the parking brake and ended up in our across the street neighbor's driveway. I could drive! (Only if there is another driveway perfectly parallel to ours but still)

My sister and I were both in college when she was setting up my dad's first email account. She was like, we should put his display name as something funny since you really don't notice it when you log in, but it will show up on outgoing emails. He went 6 months before he realized his display name was "Weiner Toucher". The best part was, we knew he had sent some emails to my aunt so we told her the story and she goes "OH, that's what those were! I thought it was some kind of porn, so I deleted them." LOL

Ugh been there. One time, both parents forgot I stayed after school for football practice and I had no access to a phone (no pay phone, coaches had already locked up and left.) I waited around for 3 hours, until finally one of the lunch ladies who knew my parents and didn't live far from me, gave me a ride home. My sister always said how happy she and my brothers were when I got my license, because they didn't have to be embarrassed by being the last ones to leave or having to get a ride from a coach because no one picked them up. I knew how much it sucked, so I always got there on time.
