While parenting is often described as a beautiful and rewarding journey when your grandmother is trying to pressure you into having grandkids at the family holidays, Twitter is where the truth lies...

Ketchup in your hair, temper tantrums at the pharmacy, negotiating with a toddler about why you can't have a pet giraffe in the tub...raising the next generation can be a hilarious struggle. So, if you could use some cathartic complaining about the challenges of being a parent, here are the funniest and most brutal tweets we could find from parents who took a risk and chose to be honest online.
