Myth debunked - parents can indeed be funny and we have the tweets to prove it! Check out 10 of the most hilarious things written on Twitter this week by parents (and one non-parent who gets it) this week:
The day a teen gets his or her own iPhone is usually one of the happiest of their youth. They're finally seen as responsible, semi-independent individuals. However, this 13-year-old, whose mother decided to attach her own 18-point agreement of rules and guidelines in exchange for the phone, might have reason to look for happier days.
When Aubrey Ireland left for college she had a good relationship with her parents. They had always supported her interest in music and acting and offered to pay her tuition to the University of Cincinnati's prestigious College-Conservatory of Music, even though she had received scholarships from other schools.
This guy's Dad Level = Outer space. With some donated old electronics and a master control board found in a TV station's dumpster, he built his son a spaceship. Then Redditor JeremiahGordon shared his results with the world. We must admit, we're pretty impressed. Take a look!
I'd like to say this post is just for the kids, but I must confess--I, Tracy Turner, steal Halloween candy from children. Yes, I am guilty of occasionally sneaking a fun size Snickers or a tiny box of Nerds from my nieces and nephews. Here's some interesting information for you, my fellow candy thieves:
Here's the perfect Monday morning video to make you smile. As you're chugging your coffee and it feels as if your eyelids are lined with sandpaper--just know you aren't alone. These two babies could barely stay awake through their meal either.
Here's one for every mom in Kiss Country. This poem is so funny and very true! It's especially funny for those of us who regularly read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" to our children. I never knew busy until I was a mom, I thought I did--but, turns out I am clueless. It's amazing the things I've learned to do with one hand. And I'm pretty sure it only gets crazier and busier.
This morning we mentioned the story of a mother who sat her children down to watch Lilo & Stitch, a movie she recorded on her Dish Network DVR. The cartoon was very unexpectedly interrupted with 6 minutes of some pretty raunchy adult only broadcasting. This brought us in a round about way to the question: have you ever been in a similar awkward situation?
This week I discovered some disturbing parenting information, have you heard about these "gender selection" clinics? For about $18,000 you get to choose whether you'll give birth to a son or to a daughter.
Dina Lohan recently filmed a show with Dr. Phil. The show won't air until Monday, but its already a buzzing topic, why? Because she's a hot mess!! One look at this video and we now understand exactly what's wrong with Lindsay Lohan. . . it's called genetics.
If you've ever seen something with "This Is Not A Toy" printed all over it and wondered what idiot would give this to their child? Well, this story is for you. Today's Mommy Chronicle is another one of those "I never had a clue" moments. I'm pretty sure that will be the theme of my life as a parent, 30 years from now I will look back and be able to title my experiences as a mommy: "I never had a clue".
Okay, there was a time, not very long ago, that I was a VERY judgmental person (yes, I’m still working on this). But, I mean VERY judgmental—especially of the way people raised their children. And I will tell you that I have learned it is SO EASY to judge parenting habits when you aren’t a parent.
