Parenting requires a unique blend of resilience and humor. We’ve survived countless hours of children’s programming and the relentless repetition of songs like “The Wheels on the Bus.” We’re experts at erasing spaghetti stains from walls and removing Kool-Aid spills from carpets (the red flavor, of course). We’ve tackled meltdowns over the existential question of sandwich crusts (to cut or not to cut?) and endured the probing “Do you have a penis or vagina?” phase. We’ve been subjected to all manner of bodily fluids—poop, puke, snot, and pee—and just when we think we’ve seen it all, the tumult of the tween and teen years kicks in, taking our parenting game to a whole new level.
Here, 17 contributors from The Big Book of Parenting Tweets and The Bigger Book of Parenting Tweets share their comical insights on the challenges of living with tweens and teens.
