Hey, moms and dads!

What do you say that you ignore your kiddos for a few minutes and tell your spouse to take a long walk around the neighborhood so you can have a bunch of laughs at funny tweets that really nail this whole parenting thing on the head?

Does that sound like a good idea to all of you out there?

We thought you’d be interested in this proposition!

Listen, we firmly believe you need to treat yourself and blow off some steam. We’re here for you!

Let’s get started now, shall we?

1. That must have been rough.

How much longer do we have to do this?

Thoughts with the parent at my son’s school who offered to have the class guinea pig over the Xmas holidays & is now in for the long haul

2. This is a power struggle.

And you have to teach her a lesson.

It may be petty but if my kid wakes me up one more Sunday before 5 AM, I’m taking the straw off her juice box when I pack her lunch.

3. Mother of the year!

You’re doing a great job!

4. No way that’s gonna happen.

No spiders in this house!

My 6yo is asking for “a tarantula in a cage” for Christmas and I for one am grateful he thought of a cage but even more grateful that he has 11 months to forget he ever thought of it

5. The more you know…

Have you had this experience with your kids yet…?

So as it turns out, teaching your kids how to lose that game of Candy Land gracefully was a much more important lesson than you probably realized at the time.

6. Mommy, please help me!

They’ve been there and done that.

The 8yo disrupted my sleep again, so I texted my mom at 2AM to ask when it stops.

7. He really blew it.

What a dweeb!

I told our daughter to “spill the tea” and my husband haughtily replied, “I think you mean spill the beans,” reminding me that no matter how uncool I am, I can always count on him to be even more uncool.

8. Now they’re sucked in.

They’ll be there for a while today.

4: Can we watch Elmo now?

7: I don’t want to watch a dumb baby show like Sesame Street

9. Whatever works!

You can make a game out of it!

I said "The baby's sleeping on me can you bring my my meds?" and my husband said "Which pill?" and I said "Surprise me!"

10. Oh…forgot about that…

Well, now I bet you feel dumb.

I was lecturing my 5 yo about how he had to listen better. I went on & on & on, but I felt he was getting me due to his attentiveness and better than usual eye contact. After I finished, he reminded me I had a googley eye on my forehead from when we were goofing around earlier.

11. You lived through it.

And now you have to help them out.

One minute you are young and carefree and the next minute your kids are asking for help with their history homework because you were alive in the nineteen hundreds.

— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) January 7, 2021

12. You just have to dive in.

You can’t be prepared for this!

Parenting isn't really a test, it's more an unrelenting series of pop quizzes that you had no clue were coming and are in no way prepared for.
