Wait, They Actually Ranked Parenting Tweets? The Funniest Parenting Moments of June!

Looking at these tweets, you can tell parenting feels totally different depending on your kid's age. Fun fact: Moms with toddlers are way more wiped out than moms with teens. Makes sense, right? Newborns don’t sleep, so bye-bye, energy.

Almost half of moms with kids under 6 say they're tired all the time, while only about a quarter of moms with teens say the same. Teen years = slightly more chill (sort of).

Same survey says moms with teens feel like they don’t spend enough time with their kids more than moms with little ones do. Teens have those cool 'closed bedroom door' moods and busy schedules, plus moms are usually juggling work and life.

So, it’s not just moody teenagers ignoring their moms - everyone’s busy!

But here’s some good news for moms of teens: they get more "me time" compared to moms of tiny humans who need nonstop attention. About 40% of moms with teens say they miss out on friend and hobby time, while more than half of moms with little kids say the same.

Parenting’s tough, but almost all moms say it’s mostly rewarding and enjoyable. Especially if your kids are in the younger, hug-you-at-midnight phase.

Summer's coming! Psychologist Jim Taylor suggests parents think about what they want their kids to get out of it.

He says, focus on fun stuff that helps kids grow physically, mentally, and even spiritually if that’s your jam.

Basically, summer should be about cool adventures that help kids learn about themselves and the world.

Got a kid who loves sports, arts, or anything special? Camps and activities around those can be awesome for skill-building and fun.

But don’t forget, just plain silly fun is super important too. Because kids need to laugh and play - no pressure!

So here’s a chill reminder: don’t panic about making summer perfect. It doesn’t exist! Some parents stress about sending kids to academic camps or internships to prep for college, but that can be a buzzkill if kids aren’t into it.

Let kids explore and find their passions at their own pace.

Also, summer’s the perfect time to get kids involved with house chores, like painting a room or sorting recycling. It teaches responsibility and gets the house a bit more put together.

And hey, don’t forget to brag (or laugh) about it on social media!
