Funny Mom Tweets That Probably Made Their Kids Say ‘Ugh, Moooooom’

Mothers were the unsung heroes of quarantine. They put up with a lot of nonsense thanks to their children, but this pain has only made them funnier. Over on the great venting service known as Twitter, one can find the funniest tweets from moms with no business being so funny. These will definitely make their kids cringe a bit when they're old enough to feel embarrassed.

Isn't It Amazing?

Tweet: today I worked from home, ran 10 miles, homeschooled my kids, cleaned the house, made a delicious dinner, and got my kids to bed early. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you lie.

At first, it sounded like this was the greatest mom in existence. As the story unfolded, it became increasingly hard to believe, so the twist at the end wasn't too surprising.

Thanks to the pandemic, many parents had to become the barbers of the family. After the first failed attempt, kids no longer wanted their mom snipping their hair anymore—what a great threat.

When it comes to instructions, kids need to hear and see them so they can best understand. This was probably an honest mistake by someone's child, but it's still hilarious.

Nothing But Facts

Not all parents can relate to this, but I'm positive many can. Playing with glue was nothing short of amazing for little kids interested in it. Kids today are missing out on the fun.

When another kid hears that someone got eaten by a shark, you can only imagine what their reaction was. That's a pretty dark thing to say as a child, but good thing it was a joke.

This little kid is going to be so wise when he grows up. If the child is already picking up on what his grandpa is putting down, wait until he gets older.

If you want to talk about brilliance, this is where you should start. This mom didn't want her kids messing up her precious coffee time, so she found a way to make leaving her alone fun.

This is probably one of the most real tweets ever written. The trick is to keep your command ready for use at any moment. You never know when you're going to have to say it.

You can tell what era these parents are from if "Buy You a Drank" was his lullaby song of choice. It's a great song, and one I wish I had someone to sing to me as a child.

No one wants to hear a recorder playing at eight in the morning. I'm sorry, even if it is your child, that's not what the doctor prescribed. You can feel her pain through the tweet.

Hey, if the kid says she wants pastrami, get her some pastrami so she can find out the difference. It might taste good enough to make her forget about becoming an astronomer.

I've never met this kid, but I'm sure he's hilarious. Nobody likes meetings, but if he has something better to do with his time, I would like to know what that is.

This kid is going places. I don't know where, but she's going somewhere coming up with songs like that. She must get the talent from her mother since her Twitter page says she's a singer.

The Kid Is Over It

Her son must hear her mommy saying things like that. Otherwise, why would a kid that young resort to putting his face on the floor and complaining about the easiest grade in school?

Nice Joke From The Kid

Not all kids have an advanced sense of humor like this one does. His mom was probably worried about the leak until she saw what was really going on under there.

You've got to be on your game if you want to get homeschooled at this house. If you aren't doing your laundry well, the chances of you getting in are slim.

They're Playing "Work"

Very similar to playing "house," work keeps you occupied until you're satisfied. That means, unless the kids love working, they probably won't play that game for very much longer. Kids are hilarious.

Keeping The Magic Alive

Keeping the Christmas magic alive should almost be a full-time job. You have to figure out ways to make the kids think Santa is real, hide the gifts, and get them what they want. That's tough.

At Least She Grabbed One

This is far from the mask that her mom meant, but let's not be too hard on the kid. Her mother should have been a bit more specific, especially when you have real masks around.

The Snack Scream

Yes, this mother is correct. When a parent says "hold on," it usually means the child will have to wait for an undisclosed amount of time. That translates into forever in kid time, which is where the screaming comes from.

Kids have this knack for being criminally annoying about specific things. This one can't tell her pants are on backwards, but she can spot onions from three feet away. Her mom wants her to eat those onions!

Mindy Kaling put a lot into this tweet, leaving the reader to dissect all of it. First of all, who coached her? Secondly, why are the scissors so special to this little girl?

White lies aren't too much, but you can't keep piling them up. Kids start to believe that stuff, and it ends up shaping their reality as they grow up. One day, her child will know it's okay to go out in your pajamas.

I feel like this mom's sympathy for her kid is a bit sarcastic, but it shouldn't be. Four sentences is a lot for a kid. Heck, most criminals only get one sentence...

Whether her husband is tone-deaf or she wants to be a singer, sometimes it's okay to hush your partner. You might get a better sounding song after you do it.

In the past, you had to take away the whole gaming system as a means of punishment. Today, you can turn off the Wi-Fi and call it a day with that.

She broke it down perfectly for the people at home who don't have any kids. Anything involving staying with small children for a long time can feel like a hostage situation.
