Tuesday Twitter Tracker: 10 Hilarious Tweets From Parents
I’ve decided to start a feature here on Strollerderby showcasing the most hilarious tweets from parents around the web.
Ever since Twitter started I’ve been “favoriting” tweets that make me laugh out loud. There are thousands. A good majority of them are from other parents I follow. Every now and again I scroll through all my favorited tweets and just laugh and laugh.
Here then, are the first set of ten tweets for your laughing pleasure. And you will laugh. I promise.

cissyrene commented on Aug 09 11 at 7:10 pmAgreed! No more slideshows!
Rachel commented on Aug 09 11 at 9:41 pmThirded. No more slideshows, please.
Monica Bielanko commented on Aug 09 11 at 10:52 pmUm… Geez. Okay. You think a single post is a better way to present 10 tweets?
Courtney commented on Aug 09 11 at 10:58 pmMonica,
A single post would be much better-I don’t know about the rest of your readers but for me your slideshows reload the whole page when going to the next slide. It’s really annoying on days when I’ve got a slow connection and finally get your post loaded only to see that I’m going to have to watch it reload again, and again, and again. One long post would be fine by me.
Leslie commented on Aug 09 11 at 11:42 pmPlus the slide shows usually don’t load correctly on my phone.
Rachel commented on Aug 10 11 at 12:06 am@Monica Bielanko: Yes! It’s called a list!
Lex Lemon commented on Aug 10 11 at 7:16 amHilarious!
TwinHappyJen commented on Aug 10 11 at 8:37 amYeah, the slideshows would be better if this page was programmed correctly… but, it’s not :-p I usually don’t like to diss my fellow web designers, but I’ve seen so many complaints about these slideshows… Babble really should ask whoever is doing this website to fix this… or find a new designer! :-p
TwinHappyJen commented on Aug 10 11 at 8:41 amFunny tweets, though! :-D
Lo commented on Aug 10 11 at 8:59 amI don’t mind the slideshows and they’re usually worth any reloading when you post. Looks like I’m outnumbered though. Just keep the posts coming. :)
Monica Bielanko commented on Aug 10 11 at 9:18 amI totally appreciate the feedback, you guys! I try to use the slideshows sparingly… Usually only when I have several photos to post. I thought this would be a fun way to showcase the tweets but I see your point. I didn’t realize the whole page reloading is not the usual way to present slideshows… Just the slideshow picture should reload, right?
kellie commented on Aug 10 11 at 11:24 amMonica, I freaking LOVED it! So Funny!! Keep it up!
Alison commented on Aug 10 11 at 12:53 pm“I’m asking for a friend.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sarah commented on Aug 10 11 at 12:58 pmWhat is wrong with you peoples internet? I use Google Chrome on what has to be the world’s OLDEST computer at work and I have no trouble seeing the slideshows. They dont open a new page for me to view them. I dont have trouble loading them…
Callie commented on Aug 10 11 at 3:49 pmIn this instance I think you appropriately used a slideshow. Fun feature :) Sometimes I have a terrible internet connection, which can steer me away from slide shows. Even on a fast connection, if something loads awkwardly, I feel less immersed. This sucks when I happen to love the content! If used sparingly and/or appropriately (which I think you have) plus an improved slideshow, I wouldn’t mind reading them at all.
Callie commented on Aug 10 11 at 3:57 pmForgot to add, yeah, the picture should be the only thing reloading. I don’t know if this is a standard but it’s nicer to interact with. Also, I don’t know if this is feasible for the site but maybe you can offer your articles in a printer friendly option on the side.
elizabeth traub commented on Jan 30 12 at 3:25 pmAgree on the slideshow request, would have been way easier to just load as pictures and scroll down quickly. However I did muddle through and enjoyed those tweets. Enjoying your website too. elizabeth traub
