Living with teenagers can be like riding a rollercoaster, right? They seem to transform into unpredictable beings, but parents still have the power to guide them toward becoming better individuals. Check out this collection of tweets on raising teenagers, featuring funny rants, candid snapshots, and translations for the uninitiated in teenage sighs.
Something’s up alright. Maybe a party, or the teen needs something.
So easy
All you have to do around them is exist.
Little boys
Yup that’s what it’s like to have a son.
Tame them
That’s up until they’re hungry or find themselves in trouble.
For all that energy
These little guys are like garbage trucks the way they eat.
Chase the truck
That kid really needs to get off Netflix for a whole month.
Works like a charm
It’s like they bring this vibe of annoyance and filth.
Amusing
It’s not like you taught them how to deal with life anyway.
Sugarcoating facts
Looks like dad has the advantage now with this knowledge.
That’s power
One way of teaching them kids about life.
Texter texter
But it did get the teen’s attention after awhile.
Housekeeping
Teens and their constant need to be lazy and insensitive.
Nothing teaches finances like gas
That long walk towards you will have them reflecting though.
Move it already!
Start the car and let it idle then honk the horn.
Sun’s out
Sit down, grab some cereal, and talk to me about your day.
Very cool
It’s like trying to fit in with the younger crowd elicits hate.
How thoughtful
Buy the exact opposite of what he likes because they’re “out of stock”.
Snarl
Not to mention the ticks and fleas with all that scratching you do.
Works everytime
Start talking about groceries and bills to him.
Waste of food
Have the kid reboot and updated then another restart just to be sure.
Life is not 1+1
Leave them alone and see if they can solve it.
Looks healthy
Imagine all the energy before crashing at the end of the day.
Super fun
The mood swings, the neediness, and shallowness, all rolled into one angry package.
Definitely a teen
They really do have so much anger inside. Why?
Oh yes
Priceless response. Do it to them and see how they explode.
Pity
Set up a bunch of cameras around the house for that kid.
Brilliant
You need to know their language to get your point across.
Crusty mood
As an adult, stop complaining and deal with things you don’t like.
Tough competition
It’s a dying business you know, dealing with grandparents.
Single for life
Looks to be a promising future for this kid.
Like it’s the end of the world
That exasperated sigh before begrudgingly moving towards his goal.
Hush hush
She could spring up and bite them with all the rage in the world.
Raging teen
Everyone’s fault except hers, and why does that sound so familiar?
No cheat codes
It’s like playing a game and reaching the final boss.
Cold as hell
He wants to keep all that boiling rage inside of him.
Her precioussss
And to think he’s never gotten hold of a ring.
Pathetic
That’s odd, it’s almost like someone’s desperate to live.
Take a knee
Just wait until she remembers that she needs something from there.
Practical application
Treating the house like a 5-star hotel.
So get a taxi
Oh yes that last minute habit that parents know all too well.
