As the holiday festivities come to a close, the chaos of shopping, decorating, and managing overly excited kids impatiently awaiting their gifts will soon fade. But what looms on the horizon for parents with school-aged children? Two words that can send a chill down any parent’s spine: winter break.

Initially, you might feel optimistic. With all those shiny new toys, you think, “How could they possibly get bored?” But by December 27th, your kids will have completely forgotten about their new Hatchimals, and you’ll find yourself desperately searching for ways to keep them entertained until that glorious school start date arrives. Venturing outside is a no-go due to the frigid weather, and every indoor play area will resemble a scene from a crowded festival because, of course, everyone is off school. Before long, you’ll find yourself resorting to a steady diet of Netflix and mac and cheese. In essence, winter break is all about survival, and no one captures the humor of this struggle quite like the hilarious parents of Twitter.

Here are some relatable thoughts from parents:

1. Rude. It’s not like they have to wrangle 22 hyperactive kids a week before Christmas. They have no idea how tough this gig can be for us parents.
2. Accurate. Between spills, tears over nothing, and constant demands to witness their latest “cool trick” that’s guaranteed to land them in the ER, you’ll notice some uncanny similarities.
3. Maybe the actual devil? By January 3rd, you might contemplate a getaway—yes, the family all together for what feels like an eternity. Sorry, my left eye is starting to twitch. BRB.
4. What was that, honey? Fire up that trusty Dyson. The white noise works wonders for your sanity during this time of year.
5. Set the tone. Your kids need to know just how close you are to losing it; it helps keep them in line for the next 10 days or so. Better bring your A-game.
6. Panic time. Wipes sweat off forehead What do you mean? I’m perfectly fine. Everything is totally fine.
7. The twitch is back. By the fourth toilet clog of the week, you might be one meltdown away from breaking down. Just keep reminding yourself, “that’s what wine is for.”
8. No big deal. Just a few weeks of what feels like the longest days of your life, trying to entertain little ones indoors because it’s freezing outside. It’ll be great.
9. NOPE. Honestly, no one is going to judge you.
10. Aim high. You start the week channeling Mary Poppins and end it like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Just remember, you’re not alone in this descent into madness.
11. Sounds about right. Prepare for a trip to urgent care; turning your living room into a bouncy house is bound to end in chaos.
12. Buy a lot of Pop Tarts. Teaching them independence, right? Right.
