30+ Tweets Every Teen Parent Can Relate to All Too Well

Parenting isn’t easy at any stage, but especially not when your kids are teenagers. Raging hormones, strange bodily developments, and the social transition into adulthood result in teens being a bit of a nightmare. Of course, they’re lovable nightmares that we don’t regret. Ever. Not for one second. Right? If you struggled to read that with a straight face, then you’ll definitely enjoy these tweets about what it’s like to raise teenagers!

Something’s Wrong

There are only three possibilities here. One, this teen has swapped bodies with someone in a Freaky Friday-type situation. Two, the teen has done something wrong and is trying to pre-emptively get in his mom's good graces.

Three, the teen wants something and is trying to build up good credit. What's definitely NOT happening here? This kid just truly wants to help out around the house. Here's to hoping for the Freaky Friday option!

Can’t Win

As any parent of teens knows, there's simply no winning. Whatever you do, it'll be outdated, uncool, and result in them hating you. Of course, this is all completely temporary and just part of the normal puberty process.

That being said, if you can hold your breath while your child is between the ages of 13 and 18, that'd probably be best. In fact, given how long it takes young adults to figure out body odor management, not breathing around them may be a good idea anyway.

Missing the Point

It seems that this teen is confused as to why people vacuum. Rather than picking up dust from the floor, this adolescent believes that vacuuming is about getting lines on the floor so the house looks like it's been cleaned.

You know what else makes a house look clean? Cleaning it! The strangest part about this is that it really doesn't take any time at all to plug the vacuum in. So, why not just do the chore properly? Sigh teen logic.

Just Call Them Garfield

We have to say, this is a pretty accurate description of teenagers. We'd like to add that, like cats, adolescents are expensive, practice excessive grooming, and seem to be indestructible.

To be fair, some people prefer cats over other creatures, such as dogs. Dogs require a lot of time, love, and attention - which not everyone wants to give on a daily basis. That's why some people would rather have a cat.
