It's undeniable that raising and caring for multiple children is a challenging task for parents. This responsibility often involves not only meeting each child's individual needs but also maintaining a sense of balance and fairness within the family dynamic. Parents have to ensure that they are strict enough about the values and lessons they want to impart while also providing emotional support, managing everyday tasks like meal preparation, and helping with homework. All this must be done while juggling their own personal and professional responsibilities.

In fact, many parents feel overwhelmed at times, and social media platforms like Twitter have become a place for them to vent and make jokes about the challenges they face when raising siblings. The humorous and relatable nature of these posts has turned the topic into something of a running meme. If you're a parent in a similar situation, you may find comfort in seeing some of the best takes that the "parenting siblings community" has shared on the bird app recently.

One common theme in parent-child communities is the frequent rivalry and competition between siblings. Parents on Twitter often share funny and unexpected experiences to resolve conflicts and promote family harmony. While these stories are entertaining, they emphasize the importance of teaching children to understand their own unique qualities and to support each other even when they are competing. Share strategies to defuse tense situations and help kids understand the value of teamwork and compromise.

Another prevalent topic within this community is the creative ways in which parents divide their time and attention between multiple children. Parents on Twitter joke about the scheduling gymnastics required to ensure each child has a fair share of their time, whether it's attending extracurricular activities, organizing playdates, or helping with school projects. This playful banter helps to remind parents that they are not alone in their struggles and encourages them to continue seeking inventive solutions to the challenges of raising siblings.

Only problem is I'm pretty sure girls do that too (speak from experience, it wasn't a waffle, it was a pancake).

I wouldn't think so, although it depends on how fast it was going, and how thin/strong the fan blades were.

I remember something like this. Except that I threw a slipper at the ceiling fan and it ricocheted back and caught me square in the forehead. My brother who witnessed the whole thing laughed so hard that my mum just checked in on us out of worry. Never have I seen someone go from looking shocked to annoyed to plain laughing at my self-inflicted pain along with my brother. Yep, boys will be boys, even the self-inflicted pain that comes with it XP

My dad was an only child to an over baring father and an ultra religious mother. He freaked every time my sister and I even raised our voices to each other.

Once in a public restroom in Disneyland, I heard a father shift from calmly talking his child through the bathroom procedure to screaming "No! No! Don't touch that with your penis!"...parenting books don't prepare you for those moments

I was a nanny for several years with the same family. My car battery died, so I called my best friend for help. She sent her 6'98" tall "baby" brother. The four year old was home, and very shy, so I told her that Sheila's baby brother was coming to fix my car. When Mart arrived, my four year old charge looked up and up and up. "THAT'S a BABY?"

3 boys 1 cake - two boys confer seemingly endlessly about where the two cuts should be. Third boy gets 1st choice. The pieces will be microscopically exact. And I was always the winner because I stuck with mom during the making/icing, and got to lick the spoon.

My sister had an imaginary friend, growing up, called Prince charming, and she would get mad if anyone sat where he was sitting, even though no one else could see him.

And here is a retort to that retort, "And, ....are you? Are you going to climb mount Everest? Ha! I bet you can't. Oh, really, can you? Ok, go now. I'm watching. And if you don't, or can't, you are worse than me, in the respect of you lying. Go on then!"

I about the get backfired for this... But since when are you getting a kid for your kid ? Like you decide to bring a new life into your family and if you are not doing this because you have more love to share and want to give another child the best life possible.. that seems wrong to me ! I know they probably have other reasons for having another kid, but damn, if I were to have heard my mother said that, I would've never been able to forget it while growing up..

The first kid goes to get brother and stays because there's a video game tournament in progress and gets to play the winner while you sit in the car waiting.

I only stopped crying from sadness when my brother was born when I got the toy I wanted as a token of respect from the newborn for being his big sister (yep, got the card saying so and "signed" by the baby) 😆 When my sister was born I was already mad at her as it meant I had to give up my big bedroom because I already knew there would be no way in hell I'd share it with a baby
