If we’re being honest, all parenting tweets are helpful, whether they’re meant to give advice or they’re meant to just make us all laugh at the absurdity of our life with kiddos living under our roofs.
I mean, after all, there are days when what you really need is a laugh, but most days, a laugh is welcome!
If you’re feeling alone or just like you’re having trouble seeing the bright side, let these 11 parenting tweets make your day!
11. It must be exhausting to be a kid today.
Almost as exhausting as it is to be a parent today.
I tracked 16’s phone to see if he was where he was supposed to be. He was not. So I called 16 and asked where he was. He named the place he was supposed to be. I said oh REALLY? And the sound of his sighing realization that technology is a real bitch literally made my whole day.

10. It just makes them so mad.
And sometimes that’s honestly just so delightful.
As a dad there’s nothing more fun than intentionally singing the wrong lyrics to your kid’s favorite song

9. I think she might be onto something.
Unless pod people are people too.
8-year-old: All people like pizza.
Me: Some people don't.
8: Then they're not people.

7. I like the way she thinks.
We all know you can’t just have one doughnut.
8-year-old: How many doughnuts can I have?
Me: One.
8: One total or one at a time?

6. She’s going to need to practice.
We can all see that something is going to go down soon.
Me: Why are you spinning in circles?
6-year-old: I'm a ballerina zombie fighter.
Me: *clears more space for her to spin*

5. They’ll hit you with anything, really.
You don’t even have to ask.
Who needs expensive lip plumpers when your toddler can hit you in the face with a toy train for free?

4. Sleep tight and all of that.
The real nightmares now begin…
son: theres a monster in my closet
me: oh sweetie, there’s no such thing as monsters. The real monsters are hidden among us, members of the community. Even your own family can cause unspeakable psychological damage.
son:
me: Well goodnight

3. You knew this would happen.
It’s always the expensive clothes.
First day of school and my kid already ripped a hole in the knee of his new biohazard suit.

2. Who knows, maybe a sister, too!
Be careful, they might decide to get excited.

1. You’re not going to trick her.
She knows how this system works.
Me: What did you learn at school today?
6-year-old: Lots of stuff.
Me: Like what?
6: I'm not teaching you for free.
