The 20 funniest parents on social media this week

At TODAY Parents, we love seeing moms and dads post hilarious-but-true thoughts about parenthood on social media.

As the pandemic continues, parents are trying to decide what to do about sending (or not sending) kids to school in the fall, everyone's scrambling to file their taxes by June 15 and there's talk of Kanye West running for president. Just another bizarre week.

So laugh along with us as we highlight some of the best posts from our favorite funny parents on social media. Want to share your funny parenting moments with TODAY? Tag TODAY Parents on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

Solid brag.
