If there’s one thing kids excel at, it’s whining and crying. They enter the world wailing, and as they grow, the reasons and the volume may change, but the talent remains. A child’s whine can feel like nails on a chalkboard, while their cries can make you want to pull your hair out. Over time, they become aware of their impact.

Thankfully, the hilarious parents on Twitter keep us entertained with their relatable tweets as we endure our own kids’ antics.
