Teething is no picnic for babies or their poor parents. The endless crying, the drooling like a litter of Saint Bernards, the sleepless nights -- they all add up to an unpleasant period most of us would like to forget. But, if you're in it, you know there's no ignoring it. Some fellow parents took to Twitter to share their pain and elicit a few laughs and a little sympathy from other moms and dads who are stuck in the same boat. 

Think of these Tweets as the ultimate misery-loves-company fest. Have a laugh while remembering that this stage will pass -- eventually.
