kids these days

Most people have a love-hate relationship with dad humor. And by that, I mean they hate how much they love it. The awful jokes make us groan, roll our eyes, and sometimes, genuinely laughing out loud. And when they share their dad jokes, quips, and rants about parenting on Twitter, we love it even more. Each week, we scour the internet for the funniest dad tweets we can find, and we love sharing them with you. When you need a pick-me-up, scroll through these tweets, then last week's, and then the week before that.

Have kids, they said. It will be fun, they said. Sure, it's all fun and games until your kid smears poop all over the wall. Or they're screaming bloody murder because you cut their sandwich into a square shape instead of a triangle, you monster! But, through all the trials and tribulations that parenting brings, you've got to be able to laugh your frustrations away, and the parents of Twitter certainly do an excellent job at it. Here is this week's collection of funniest parenting Tweets for all parents (and non-parents alike) to relate hard to.

Parenting comes with its highs and lows. Of course, no one talks about the highs because, let's face it, bragging parents are possibly one of the worst types of people on the planet. But the lows... well, everyone wants to hear about the lows because the lows are funny, especially when they're put on Twitter for the world to see. So, each week, we compile a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to give you a taste of the trials and tribulations (and occasional joys) of parenting. Scroll through this week's haul and then mosey on over to last week's to get more parenting survival tips and tricks.

Every parent tries their best to raise their kids as upstanding, law-abiding, and morally correct members of society. And most parents do an OK, to good-ish job, even though it's one of the most challenging tasks in the world. But teaching your kids about moral ethics and codes of conduct isn't always as straightforward as it sounds, which these parents learned the hard way. Commenting on a Reddit thread asking for the lessons parents tried teaching their kids that completely backfired, these stories are painfully relatable. Nothing burns more than a moral lesson biting you in the ass, especially by your kids. These stories of kids embarrassing their parents and totally missing the point of whatever lesson was trying to be taught; these examples are hilarious and painful at the same time.

Each week, we round up the best tweets that parents have tweeted over the past seven days, relaying the cuteness of their offspring. And by cuteness, we mean ruing the day their little ones were born. Because as joyful as the parenting journey is and as fun as kids can be, the reality of parenthood can hit hard and fast. And no one is funnier than a parent who has had enough. So enjoy this week's funniest parenting tweets, and then check out last week's for more parenting humor.

If you hate your job and you know it, clap your hands! Congratulations! If someone else clapped you made a new friend. Wasn't that easy to leave your office cave? Bet you hadn't even thought of that.

But at least you can go down laughing with some of these hilarious work memes all about the work week and its extremes.

It's a tradition that the older generations have to hate on the younger generations for absolutely any reason they can think of. Doesn't matter what for, because it was just "better back in the day," in their logic. 

Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann pulled up some hilariously enlightening historical records of the behavioral problems exhibited by 18th century male students in Scotland. 

Let's just say they're...less than wholesome and make Millennials look angelic in comparison.
