Hop on over, parents, and let’s dive into the delightful chaos of Easter! Like any big holiday, it sends our kids into a sugar-fueled frenzy, leaving tantrums in its wake. But hey, that’s not stopping us from diving headfirst into the madness.
We brave the wild egg hunts, overstuff their baskets with candy, and then scratch our heads wondering why our kids are bouncing off the walls. We willingly subject ourselves to the horror of having them pose with some guy in a creepy bunny suit—an image that will haunt our dreams until summer—and then we’re left cleaning up that pesky Easter grass until the snow falls again. But fear not! The witty parents on Twitter have a way of putting a humorous spin on it all.
1. Miracle of Easter!
How convenient! Perhaps if the only toys were plastic eggs, we’d see some real miracles.
2. BRB, in the closet.
Even the “friendly” bunny gives me chills. I can’t even imagine what the “scary” one looks like!
3. Brilliant idea.
Spending $50 on a bunny is a steal compared to hiring a babysitter for the whole day. Pure genius!
4. It never disappears.
We should gather every piece of Easter grass and burn it. But let’s be honest, we’d still find it until Christmas.
5. Absolutely.
Holidays are prime time for petty arguments with your spouse. Don’t miss out on that chance!
6. We’re in it to win it.
Am I the only one who puts their kids in crash helmets for the egg hunt? Second place is just first loser, right?
7. What luck!
Is your chocolate fix worth dimming your child’s joy? Yes, yes it is.
8. Nope.
Moms don’t get holidays. Well, except for Mother’s Day, and we all know how that turns out.
9. Haha!
This is one of the few perks of parenting: kids are a bottomless pit of free candy. Let us enjoy our spoils!
10. Funny how that works.
What if we just left shoes out in the yard with the eggs? Just a thought.
11. Keep searching.
As long as we get to munch on chocolate, everything is just peachy.
12. Yikes.
Who thought a giant bunny hiding eggs was a brilliant idea? They must’ve been high!
13. *facepalm*
Honestly, it would take less effort to just toss them in a basket. Collecting is just too much work.
14. Ouch.
Happy Easter, parents!
