MUMSIEesq/TwitterParenting is not for the faint of heart. There's sleep deprivation, unexpected tantrums, and just when you think you've got the whole mom thing figured out, the kids reach a new milestone and totally turn the tables on you.
Sometimes being a parent gets so tough, the only thing you can do is laugh. That's why we're so grateful for the hilarious moms and dads on Twitter. Every week, they perfectly sum up the wild, hilarious, and totally WTF parts of being a parent in 140 characters or less. Here, 16 of the funniest parenting tweets we scrolled past this week.

Kids say the darnedest things

Playdate problems

@ramblinmama perfectly explains why all parents hate birthday parties (and class parties, and the zoo, and the park, and leaving the house…).
This is why we can't have nice things

We forgive you, @Dadpression, but only because our battering ram just bumped into yours and now they're both crying.
Good intentions, terrible outcome

Well, obviously, she can't use the disposal, @simoncholland — there's probably a Barbie in it.
More money, more LEGO

It's okay, @moooooog35. Our kids used our retirement fund on Shopkins, too.
