Glamorous mummy bloggers can make parenting look easy, but exhausted mums and dads have taken to Twitter to share the harsh (and hilarious) reality of raising a child.
In a series of tweets collected by fan page Awkward parents posted examples of the times their little ones have been far from angelic.
One mother revealed how her child had loudly asked her if she was going for a number two while they were in a quiet public restroom.
Showing a similar disregard for privacy, another parent said their daughter had become hysterical when she wasn’t allowed to watch them on the toilet.
Proving that kids do indeed say the funniest things, a little boy told his dad that he shouldn’t ‘fart on friends’ completely out of the blue.
Meanwhile other long-suffering parents issued warnings to expectant mums and dads with tales of their offspring’s unreasonable demands including one mother who found herself dressing her dog to please her son.
One father was left disamayed after his daughter put her socks in the toilet because other ‘dirty stuff’ goes there
