Parenting is tough. It may sound simplistic, but it’s an undeniable reality. What we really need is a good laugh, and Twitter is full of parents who delivered just that all year long. In 2015, we were treated to a plethora of hilarious tweets about everything from toddlers throwing tantrums and babies refusing to nap, to sneaking snacks to avoid sharing. Being a parent can sometimes feel isolating, and in our most challenging moments, we might think we’re the only ones navigating this chaotic journey. Thanks to the witty parents on social media who shared countless relatable thoughts, we can chuckle for a moment before diving back into the delightful chaos of raising kids. So, cheers to those Twitter parents for keeping our spirits up when we might otherwise be hiding in a closet, munching on Cheetos and sipping wine straight from the bottle. And let’s be honest, we’ll probably still do that occasionally—and that’s perfectly fine.

  1. The worst alarm clock ever. Those little ones wake you at some ungodly hour, and you’re left changing a diaper filled with who-knows-what, all while your eyes are half shut. If only you could hit a snooze button on them and catch another 12 hours of sleep.
  2. That familiar voice. You start off with patience, but the “Mary Poppins” act quickly fades when they just won’t listen. That’s when you have to channel a more intimidating character.
  3. We begin with high hopes. At the school year’s start, we’re full of energy and grand plans for adorable bento box lunches, only to find ourselves tossing in whatever we can find by June and hoping they’ll eat it. Ahh, good times!
  4. Just go to sleep, please? It’s always “just one more thing,” and despite your best intentions to stay calm, it can be quite a challenge after the 23rd reading of “Goodnight, Moon.”
  5. This is the only criteria, to be honest. The days can be long, but the years are short, and that’s why we all need a little wine. If our kids choose friends whose parents don’t get that, it’s probably best to move on.
  6. They are surprisingly tasty. If the nurse were a fellow parent, they’d probably just smile knowingly.
  7. How do they always find them? You keep markers out of reach, but somehow, they always discover that one cap left lying on the floor. And of course, the rest is likely embedded in a brand-new throw pillow, leaking black ink.
  8. Sleeping in isn’t what it used to be. The little ones try to be quiet, but doesn’t it feel like the whole house goes haywire if you attempt to sleep just a tad longer? Hang on, sweetie. Let’s find some gauze.
  9. Sorry! Oops, sorry! It’s like guiding a tiny, tipsy person through life as they bump into everything in sight. At least those college parties prepared us a bit for this.
  10. He’ll figure it out eventually. Just because we’re the adults doesn’t mean we have all the answers. Thanks to Common Core math, our kids are learning that lesson sooner than we did.
  11. Secret snacking is a thing. If you’ve never dashed into a closet for a quick Dorito fix, you’re not really a parent. They might not hear you yelling about cleaning their rooms, but they can detect the sound of a snack wrapper from a mile away.
  12. They think they’ve got it all figured out. They can’t wipe themselves, but they’ll definitely talk to you like you’re the one who doesn’t know anything. Fair, right?
  13. Keeping track of details is tough. What day is it again? How many kids do we have? Sometimes, it just feels like too much to juggle.
