These 12 #parentingfails are pure Twitter gold
We have rounded up some of the best #parentingfails Twitter has to offer.
Every day millions of parents around the world fail at parenting in various ways to various degrees. And boy-o-boy does it feel a bit better when we share our fails because it proves we are all in the same boat and none of us has a freaking paddle. The variety and severity of fails are also reassuring – from kids who swear, to smashed iPads, toilet water, Uber Eats lunch boxes, missed rugby games, social media escapism, and even to serial killer tooth fairies.
My one year old drank toilet water today. Just needed to get that off my chest. Hoping it helps someone else feel better about how their own day played out.#parentingfail

When you have a crying/screaming toddler and too much in your hands bad things can happen… placed the iPad on the roof of the car and forgot while trying to console a 3 year who just wanted his mommy… #ParentingFail pic.twitter.com/St0SpJ3EHd

I told my kids that the Tooth Fairy uses their teeth to make necklaces she wears out on her nightly excursions. They now think she’s a serial killer. #toothfairy #parenting #parenthood #momlife #boymom #parentingfail
