Hey there, parents! Fall is officially in full swing, which means it’s time for apple picking, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes galore. But let’s be real—it’s also the season for meltdowns because your child can’t locate the “ideal” pumpkin, or they’re having a fit because you won’t let them climb an apple tree. And don’t forget the tantrums as they refuse to leave the corn maze.
Sure, there are enjoyable moments, but let’s face it: parenting during fall can be a struggle. Thankfully, the hilarious parents on Twitter always know how to bring some laughs into the chaos.
1. Major choices.
We could either head to the car repair shop or endure a string of kid’s birthday parties—sans adult beverages. Choices, choices.
2. They’ll get it someday.
When you see your little one surrounded by a sea of fake leaves, glue gun in hand, just nod and prepare your supportive comments. It’s for the greater good.
3. Blinders, please.
I’ve seriously thought about investing in horse blinders just to stroll past the dollar section without grabbing a bunch of scarecrow-themed napkins I’ll never use.
4. Pure joy.
Nothing screams family bonding like a wailing baby next to a pile of pumpkins. Click.
5. Riveting.
They’ll munch on a fruit snack covered in who-knows-what, yet somehow, not a single pumpkin meets their high standards. Go figure.
6. Year after year.
Every year, we toss out the moldy pumpkins we bought last fall, only to repeat the same cycle. Parenting: the ultimate definition of insanity.
7. Not a fan of participation.
I usually buy several pumpkins, but let’s be honest—I never get around to carving them.
8. Not a word spoken.
It’s a real workout convincing your social media followers that you absolutely adore fall. Let the charade begin.
9. Thanks, climate change.
All those cozy flannel shirts are just gathering dust while my tank tops get a workout. At least there’s ice cream.
10. Choose your words wisely.
Parents, make sure to pick your phrases with extreme caution.
11. A steal!
You could have a kid-free moment for ages while they wander that corn maze—truly a bargain.
12. But was he stylish?
Because every family member deserves to be part of the autumn adventure.
