The Hilarious Parents of Twitter on Navigating Thanksgiving

Time to slip into those stretchy pants and stock up on your favorite beverages — Thanksgiving is here! But let’s face it, how much joy can a parent truly expect during this festive chaos? Sure, you might find some highlights like football, turkey, and perhaps a glass or two of wine, but your children will remain as picky as ever. Instead of turning their noses up at your cooking, they’ll now be making Aunt Linda’s famous green bean casserole feel like a personal affront. Add crankiness from travel and disrupted sleep patterns into the mix, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for tantrums. Not to mention the excitement surrounding that dreaded Elf on the Shelf. And if the grandparents start handing out sweets like they’re candy dealers, well, you’re in for a wild ride. Thankfully, the comical parents of Twitter have plenty to share about the delightful struggle that is Thanksgiving with kids.

Thanksgiving Tips from Hilarious Parents

  1. Kids have zero interest in your culinary masterpieces. When faced with a grand feast, they’ll still demand their go-to favorites. Sorry, Grandma, but it’s time for Easy Mac and cheese.
  2. Prepare for some eye-rolling. If you’ve got a little one, expect the whole family to hear about how “mommy and daddy have fun” behind closed doors on Sunday mornings. Stock up on wine, you’ll need it!
  3. Keep your secrets. It’s the perfect time to pretend to be a gourmet chef. A cute apron can work wonders—trust me on this one.
  4. Drawstrings are your best friend. Asking me to wear pants with a zipper on Thanksgiving is just too much. Let’s keep it comfy, please.
  5. Here’s to vodka! Seriously, kid, your list for what you’re thankful for doesn’t need to be elaborate. Just write “my tablet” and let’s move on.
  6. And wine, of course. Can’t forget that essential element of the holiday!
  7. Thanksgiving is officially on the list of things that used to be enjoyable until kids came along to complain about every little thing. #Blessed.
  8. Brace yourself for some awkward conversations. With tensions high post-election, navigating discussions with relatives can be tricky. Keep the wine flowing!
  9. Don’t envy your child-free siblings too much. Yes, they’re sprawled on the couch, enjoying pie while you’re managing a toddler meltdown, but your time will come—eventually.
  10. Just another day, but with a much longer cooking time and a live studio audience critiquing your every move. So much to be grateful for!
  11. Let’s be honest—nobody really likes cranberry sauce. You’re doing the universe a favor by skipping it.
  12. This one’s key. Make sure Dad is clued in so he isn’t glued to his phone while you’re trying to avoid family chaos. Happy Thanksgiving to all the parents out there!
