What we truly need, however, is a hearty dose of laughter, and thankfully, Twitter has been overflowing with it, thanks to the hilarious parents sharing their experiences throughout the year. In 2015, we were treated to a treasure trove of witty tweets that touched on everything from the chaos of toddler tantrums to the infamous struggle of sneaking snacks without having to share. In our toughest moments, when parenting feels like a solo adventure, it’s the humor that connects us. So to all those funny parents out there, thank you for your relatable quips that make us chuckle just before we plunge back into the delightful chaos of raising little ones.
- The worst alarm clock ever.
They greet you at a ridiculous hour, with a diaper full of surprises that demands immediate attention. If only there were a snooze button for babies, giving you an extra 12 hours of sleep! - That familiar tone.
You start off being the patient parent, but the “Mary Poppins” act quickly fades when they just refuse to listen. Time to channel a more intimidating character! - Good intentions gone awry.
At the start of the school year, you’re full of enthusiasm, crafting bento box lunches that resemble whimsical creatures. Come June, however, it’s a free-for-all of whatever’s in the pantry. - Please, go to sleep!
It’s always “just one more thing.” Despite your best efforts to stay calm, it’s hard after reading “Goodnight, Moon” for the 23rd time. - Wine is a must.
The days may stretch on forever, but the years fly by, which is precisely why we need that glass of wine. If your child befriends kids whose parents don’t get this, it might be time to reconsider those playdates. - Tasty treats.
If the nurse were a fellow parent, they’d probably nod knowingly about the snacks you enjoy during those long wait times. - How do they always find them?
You stash away the markers, making sure the kids never see you use them. Yet somehow, they always find that rogue cap on the floor, with the rest likely embedded in a new throw pillow, leaking black ink. - Sleeping in is a myth.
They try to tiptoe around, but it feels like the whole house implodes if you dare to sleep in a bit longer. Hang tight, sweetie, let’s find some gauze for that scrape! - Oops, sorry!
It’s like managing a tiny, uncoordinated drunk person as they crash into everyone. At least your college escapades prepared you for this! - He’ll get it eventually.
Just because we’re the adults doesn’t mean we have all the answers. And thanks to Common Core math, our kids will learn that lesson sooner than we did. - Secret snacking is real.
If you haven’t hidden in a closet to munch on some chips, you might not be a parent. They might not hear you yelling about cleaning their rooms, but they can hear the crinkle of a snack wrapper from a mile away. - Feeling grown-up.
They can’t wipe themselves, yet they’ll talk to you like you’re the clueless one. Seems totally fair. - Details? What details?
What day is it? How many kids do we have? Sometimes, it’s just too much to keep track of!
