Parents, we’ve made it! Summer has come to a close, and it’s time to send the kiddos back to school. We’re probably wearing expressions similar to teachers in the final weeks of the semester—we’ve witnessed some wild and crazy things that we’d rather forget. It’s been a long stretch, to say the least.
So, it’s no wonder that the bus driver has become our new hero. And when we catch sight of that glorious car line during drop-off, we might just get a little choked up. We’ve survived another summer, and now it’s back to school. The funny parents of Twitter totally get the joy that this time of year brings and are tweeting about it as if they’ve just been released from a three-month captivity.
Here are some hilarious takes from parents:
- They’ll get it once they become parents.
Oh, you’re upset? Tough luck. - Go Pinterest-perfect or go home.
Welcome to the age we live in, fellow parents. Commemorate this moment with a chalkboard adorned with fancy designs or just don’t even bother. - Farewell, kids!
Is it wrong to roll out an actual red carpet for the bus driver on the first day of school? If it is, I don’t want to be right. - So. Many. Reps.
Sometimes, they’re not as eager to go back as you are to send them off. - Exactly where it belongs.
This may sound harsh to first-time parents, but if you’ve been around the parenting block, you’ll know that the first “send us money” letter is just the tip of the iceberg. Brace yourself for at least 47 more requests for cash throughout the year. - Look away, kids!
Most mornings at the bus stop, I resemble a walking disaster, so yes, I’m totally on board with this selective memory thing. - Oopsie!
You mean you haven’t been counting down the days to school with a special dry-erase calendar? Well, that’s awkward. Maybe we can’t be friends after all. - Not a bad start.
After a summer of wild little ones staying up until dawn, it’s a miracle they make it to school before lunchtime. Being two hours late is the new on-time. - #Goals
Dear school, it’s been five long years. We’ve given all we can; now it’s your turn. - Rookie mistake.
My kids polished off an entire pack of mini-muffins I had saved for school lunches in just half a day. The label means nothing to them. You’ll need to invest in a special snack safe—there’s no other way. - It must be celebrated.
Reunited and it feels so good! - Because, of course.
After a summer spent practicing for a career in farming, they sleep like half-drunk college students the week before school starts. And so it goes. - We are so ready.
It’s been a long summer. Good luck, teachers!
