Comedy Writing Tip #136: How to Write Jokes About Parenting Without Getting CPS Called

Kids are nature's punchlines - here's how to deliver them: 1) **The New Parent Paradox** - "They say 'sleep when the baby sleeps'... which explains why I'm hallucinating from exhaustion." 2) **The Age-Old Truth** - "Parenting is just saying 'don't put that in your mouth' until you give up and let Darwinism take over." 3) **The School Struggle** - "Helping with 2nd grade math proved two things: Common Core is nonsense, and I'm an idiot." 4) **The Teen Translation** - "Teenager for 'I'm fine' actually means 'the world is ending and it's your fault'." 5) **The Safety Net** - Always add: "But kids are worth it... said every parent lying through sleep-deprived tears." Pro Tip: The best parenting jokes make non-parents scared and parents feel seen. On-Stage Line: "I don't believe in perfect parenting... my kids' future therapy bills will confirm this."
