Thanksgiving is that time of year where we’re thrust back into the chaos of family gatherings. You know, cleaning every inch of your home, preparing food for days, wrestling with that enormous turkey, and battling the ever-present fear that you’ve somehow ruined the meal. And just when you think you’ve nailed it, your kids decide they’re not interested in a single dish. Here are some relatable tweets that capture the essence of this holiday.
-
Oh, the feels.
I’m definitely feeling targeted by how accurately this reflects my life, especially when my kids “help” with the Thanksgiving pies. Someone pass the pain relievers. -
Impressive multitasking.
It’s as if he’s oblivious to my inner turmoil while I whip up a feast and tidy up the house. Hope he’s enjoying his relaxation time! -
Routine matters.
Why bring the usual chaos of kid antics to a new setting when I can sweat over a massive turkey while the usual meltdowns unfold around me? Home is where the holiday stress and my stash of anxiety meds live. -
Beware of toddlers.
They may look adorable, but never trust a little one during this season. It’s prime time for family gatherings, scrumptious food, and the flu. -
The struggle is real.
While everyone else is unwinding, I’m running around trying to ensure my kids don’t ruin the peaceful vibes. Just keep reminding yourself, “This is what the wine is for…” -
Anticipation builds.
Honestly, I’ll be impressed if they eat more than a buttered roll and a few olives. Not holding my breath for them to enjoy the feast I slaved over for days! -
Pro tip.
As we mentioned, they probably won’t eat much anyway, so whatever they chuck onto the floor is basically their serving. Makes planning a breeze! -
So accurate.
And just a month later, they’ll have another week off. Teachers, we’re grateful for you, but let’s be real – this is a bit much. -
Your choice.
You can either scream into the void deep in the woods or return to the family chaos. I’m leaning towards the former. -
A little gratitude goes a long way.
They didn’t just scrub every corner of their home so you could waltz in without a word. Compliment the baseboards and make it count. -
Just like mom made.
Every side dish comes with a side of eye rolls from the mother-in-law and a sprinkle of passive aggression! -
Go big or go home.
We didn’t whip up all this food just to watch others indulge. Move aside, I need that stuffing! -
Let’s be honest.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I ask my 6-foot tall husband to grab things from the top shelf during big dinners. It’s a real risk up there! -
Why do we do this?
Planning seems fun weeks in advance, but when the day arrives, you might consider a new identity in a different state to escape it all. -
The genius of pizza.
Why are we complicating life with yams when pizza exists? I’ll just pull up my Yelp app for something easier. -
Enjoy the chaos!
Have a great time, everyone!
