If you ask any first jobber how their life is, they would all say that adulting is hard and not what they expected. Yet we were all so eager to grow up and start adulting because… well, we don’t know why. While that might be true, have you ever wondered how hard it is to be a parent? The responsibilities double, triple, and even quadruple! From teaching your kids discipline, preparing them for school, and inculcating good habits in them to catering to their every need and always being there for them, parenting is no joke! But these parents on Twitter found a hilarious side to all of it and shared their experiences on the internet so that everyone in their shoes can relate. So here are 25 times parents shared their struggles with a touch of humor:
