As parents, we all know that it’s important to keep tabs on our kids’ social media accounts. We need access to their logins, we need to watch who comments, whether they’re getting suspicious DMs, and everything else that can keep us up at night.
Twitter is hard, because people tweet so much, anyone can follow anyone, and it’s mostly strangers interacting, not real-life friends.
Still, it’s tough to learn things about your child secondhand, so a moment of silence for these 14 parents, please.
14. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
Same goes for dad, though.

11. This dad is a hero.
You gotta be able to say this to your kid.

10. They have a very interesting dynamic.
College isn’t a time for classes, woman.

5. This seems like a bit of an overreaction.
I mean, it wouldn’t be fun, but I’m not sure having a sexual appetite requires therapy.

No one wants to raise a kid like this one.

3. If he was my kid he would have gotten worse.
Seriously, that kid is the worst.

1. Nothing wrong with a well-placed swear.
Mom clearly doesn’t understand Twitter.
My mom found my Twitter and is making me apologize for all the swears I'm sorry everyone
