I’ve rounded up 25 of the funniest tweets about life with 9-year-olds here – hope they bring you some laughs!

Just learned our 9y/o did an experiment on us. Lost tooth, told no one for 3d, kept tooth under his pillow. No $. Then he tells us he lost the tooth, next night there is money under his pillow. Then confronted us with his scientific evidence that the tooth fairy isn't real.

My 9 year old has wanted to bake a cake for weeks and today after I finished work we finally did it. Being so busy means it’s easy to forget about making memories with my kids – I can tell she loved every four minutes of it before she went to watch TV and left me to do it all
