If you are a parent, surely you are familiar with the funny but lovable stories that you have of your kids. Parenting is hard but it is really rewarding as well. However, some parents would tell you that you haven’t really seen the “difficult” years unless you are raising a teen.
If you think you’re drained out and tired now, wait until they become teens and you’ll see what it’s like. Indeed, parenting will never end, for some, it becomes harder and harder but whatever mood they’re in, and we still love our kids.
If you think raising toddlers is difficult, do you think you’re ready for the “teen” years? Most parents of teenage kids joke about their experiences of raising these young adults and we’ve collected 50 of the funniest tweets that any parent of a teen can relate to.
1) A bit unfair, don’t you think?
Apparently, there’s this new rule for raising teens:
1. Your teen can look, borrow, and use your phone anytime
2. Never, ever, and they mean it, no matter what happens should you look or touch a teenagers phone.
According to this amazing parenting tip. It’s a must to learn a new, upbeat, and of course, “cool” talent if you are raising a teen.
Why? You’ll be needing that so you can connect with your children. What “cool” thing are you trying to learn?
A hilarious tweet from a mom that is on point! If you are a mom of a teen – you would relate to this tweet.
When you’re busy talking to them and they can’t even look you in the eye, right? However, when you need them and you call them, it seems that their phones are always unattended.
Until you have been raising teenagers, you will not understand how these kids can literally drain the life and energy out of you. Asking them to do a simple task is never simple, in fact, in most cases, we’d rather do it ourselves. Saves time and energy, right?
When you are too overwhelmed with all the mess – just shut the bedroom door of you teen and in an instant, the house seem a little cleaner. Fast forward a few hours, the thought of the dirty room will still linger in your mind. What do you do next?
Do you still remember that sweet moment where you sons used to smell like babies? Well, if not, then welcome to parenting a teen! Congratulations! Now, you can smell your sons before you can even see them. Thanks, Axe!
Why is it that when you have tons of work to do, your teenager would beg or even demand for your time and attention. Who wouldn’t feel guilty? When you make time for them, they are suddenly busy and are even annoyed by your presence. Oh boy!
It’s definitely okay to show how you feel, in fact, experts say that it’s also healthy. Though, teens kinda make it a habit to actually act out whenever they don’t like something, like this one here. Turns out, mom got the last laugh.
This twitter user learned that asking your teenager why she listens to such “not so cool” music, isn’t the best way to start a conversation. Well, not unless you want her shouting and saying that your music is more stupid, and all the other stuff that bothers her.
This mom tweets about how his son is always bored and seem uninterested when she’s asking him to do something. She said, she clearly recalls her 4-day labor that turned into a c-section because her son fell asleep. One comment said that her son hasn’t changed much – we agree.
Any parent would be worried yet excited to see that their kid is now a teen, it’s like unwrapping a gift to see what he would turn out. Just like this tweet over here, turns out they have nothing to worry about. Their son is perfectly fine, growing up to be a normal ‘teen’.
Sometimes, you just have to wonder why things can be so unfair. Like why do baby Giraffes able to walk right after they are born and teens can’t even pour their own drink but can spend a whole day looking at their phones? Care to share the secret, Mama Giraffe?
Just when you think there is no hope for uncommunicative teenagers, this tweet will surely give you hope! This mom is so happy to finally see progress after his “chatty” son said “nah” to her, just after 3 hours after asking him a question. Clearly, it’s a milestone, an achievement unlocked, it’s a hope to look forward to!
Teens may seem easy to handle, they can understand, they can communicate, they can help with chores – an easier life right? That is why this mom felt irritated when moms of teens told her to “wait until they’re teens” phrase. Now that she’s there? She realized that they were absolutely right.
Do you still remember when your teen first drove his first car? Do you still remember how many prayers did you say before finally being able to relax? This mom right here sure had her dedication to a higher power tested when she accompanied her son.
Is it a teenager thing? Kisses on the forehead used to be so sweet and full of love, but now, this man’s son reacted like he was Dracula being impaled by a wooden stake. Another comment also said that it’s a “teenager” thing because they react like Dracula too when you open the curtains.
Just when your teenager son talks to you (finally) about cutting a ball salad. This mom was of course confused so decided to ask probing questions. We just love how the teen son says it tastes “green” but later manages to make himself a raw cabbage and ham sandwich. Who wouldn’t be proud?
When we have children, it’s always a must for us to promise ourselves to be a “cool” parent. Now, this Twitter user made it possible by learning how to Dab. Cool, huh? Though, she didn’t get her expected reaction from her son. A real bummer!
You’re a parent of a teen when you can spend the whole weekend in your home without crossing paths with your kid. That’s why this mom used extreme measures to ‘see’ her teen come out and talk to her. Clever! We just hope her kid doesn’t come out screaming.
When this teen was asked to empty the dishwasher, she replied with “I’m good”. Turns out, that means “No” in today’s generation and this mom’s reply was epic. Sometimes, it’s nice to remind these teens who’s the mom and who’s the kid, right?
Prom is important and everyone is making efforts to show their best especially when asking a girl to go with you. However, this dad wanted his son to know that spending $2,000 on a sky-writer is not practical. SMH, kids these days! How did you ask a girl to prom?
We all know that being kind to everyone is best, because who knows what these people are dealing, right? Especially when they are raising teenagers. Might as well give them a tap on the shoulder or even a hug. They need it!
When you’re too eager to spend time with your teenager that you’d do almost anything to get his or her attention. While looking at some awful Instagram memes, this Twitter user’s kid responds with “mmm hehe ok”. We’re guessing that’s about it and wouldn’t you agree? It’s so much fun!
This mom was proud to announce that she just earned the “Mom badge of courage” for being able withstand her son’s driving. She also added that at times like this, a minibar in the glovebox would be awesome. We agree but then again, you’re teens would probably get to them first.
When your children are already teens, Nora Ephron suggests that you need to get a dog. Why? Because at least, someone in the house is happy to see you. Good thing dogs don’t turn into teenagers!
Hearing the alarm clock means it’s time to wake up and who wouldn’t be thrilled to start the day with yelling, slamming doors, and wishing it was evening again? Good morning!
How amazing it is to see your son growing up to be a good boy, even helping around the house? For this Twitter user, his son would help him by reminding him that they no longer have stocks of his fave junk food. What a sweetheart!
Twitter user Rodlacroix is asking if there’s a wine that pairs with a teenager’s attitude. Clearly, every parent who has a teenager would gladly follow this thread, just in case there is one. Calling all wine makers, this is a genius idea!
He maybe a teen but Wendi Aarons’ son is a real gangsta by telling his mom his plan. Since he’s just 15 years old, he plans to sneak in the movies to watch “Get out”. We’re wondering if mom allowed him or scolded him. What do you think?
We all have our own ideas on how we can remind our children on how they should clean up their rooms, and their things. This mom leaves “love” notes to her kids and we think it’s hilarious! We’re wondering how effective this idea is.
Puttin on contact lenses and removing them can sometimes be hard, especially when you’re drunk. Exactly like raising teens – an almost impossible task. BTW, she has 3 sons!
When you have 4 boys to raise, then everyday is a challenge. This mommy shares that the good thing about her sons sleeping until noon, and that is, she only has to feed her twice a day. Not unless they want to have midnight snacks then that still counts to three, right?
When you have teens, expect a lot of “you’re so annoying” phrases from them. Oh, not to mention those eye rolling reactions that they love doing. Don’t worry, in 20 years, this teen will still be changing your diapers, ha!
When this mom discovered that her teens where cleaning their rooms, she was shocked to see how she has so many missing kitchen utensils and dishes. Now, she has a complete “newly found” kitchen utensils, plates, and the whole deal!
A hilarious tweet from a mom who apparently forgot her own parental control password. She then had to ask her teenager to figure it out so she can get into her own Netflix account. Maybe, next time, we’d figure out another idea that don’t require passwords.
What better way to get back with your teenage kids than to force them to hold your hand and skip with you but do this in the mall. What a wonderful way to stroll, or is it? For these teens, this is a severe punishment. Who has done this?
We are so used to seeing teens using their phones while in the shower, in the toilet, everywhere! What this dad didn’t expect was an apple core in their shower. Until today, it remains a mystery. Any theories?
Just when you’re minding your own business, your teen would call you up and complain about how how he hates his lunch. That would be fair if you’re the one who prepared it. As much as we’re annoying, they always call for us to ‘fix’ everything.
If you are a parent of a teen and you still manage to find anything in their rooms, then you’re a legend! Turns out, 95% of a teen’s room consists of dirty laundry and other unrecognizable stuff and the remaining 5% will almost be gone in an hour or two. Goodluck trying to make them clean it.
This mom has patience for waiting a whole 10 minutes for her teen to open a can using a can opener when there is a pull up tab on it.
She sure has a lot of patience to wait that long. At least, the kid was able to do it and hopefully, this makes him a little wiser the next time.
50) Mr Independent
Teens these days all claim to be independent and matured. They have plans, goals, and even know more than they should but guess what? At the end of the day, they’d still come running back to us to “borrow” money.
