Do you find yourself on the verge of tears every time you clean the house only to find it is littered all over again?
Parenting is a tough job, undeniably. You might find celebrities or even your friends saying how beautiful of a feeling it is to be a parent. The reality, however, is far from the truth. To be a parent takes nerves of steel. For the most part, you are either running on low sleep or surviving on that last cup of coffee. Parents don't like to admit it, but not every day is filled with familial delights. And, if someone tells you otherwise, they are lying. The everyday grinding to ensure that your child grows up to be a good human being takes a lot of effort. As mundane and dull as it sounds, you don't have to be serious all the time. Squeezing out a good laugh now and then will only be beneficial, not harmful.
Do you ever feel energetic and alive when you finally get the house all to yourselves? Do you find yourself on the verge of tears every time you clean the house only to find it is littered all over again? Do you feel like you have achieved the unachievable after you managed to put your kids to bed? If you have silently nodded a 'yes' to all the questions above, then here is a list of tweets that will act as a soothing ointment to treat your battle scars from parenting. Moreover, it will make you understand that you are only a human, just like your kids. You cannot always have control over everything and it is okay. All you need to know is that you are trying to do your best.

I asked her to replace the toilet paper roll and now she's now in tears because she has to do everything around here.
my six year old wanted me to pretend to be her mom and i said “i am your mom” and she said “but like, a cool young fun mom”

My teen- *with a mouthful of burger and fries* Must be nice to be an adult and do whatever you want

Me- *picking at my salad and holding the bill*- Yeah, it’s been a real treat
My twins learned some new adjectives at school today and are currently arguing about whether the dinner I cooked is abominable or diabolical

Welcome to parenthood. You have way more shit to do, and way less time to do it in.

My toddler has been throwing things, so I bought him a book about managing emotions, which he picked up and threw at me.

I’ve never won the lottery but I once made a dinner that all three kids enjoyed at the same time

5: please can I have an apple
— MumInBits (@MumInBits) November 8, 2022
Me: sure *gives apple*
5: oh dear
Me: what’s up
5: I can’t eat that apple
Me: why not
5: it’s not a donut
Hubs: I’ve decided I don’t want to have children.

Me: You’re about 9 years too late.
Kids should come with a “skip intro” button for their stories

8-year-old: We had a a substitute bus driver.
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) November 15, 2022
Me: How'd that go?
8: Bad. I was hoping she didn't know the way to school.
My kids and I play this fun game where I wake up early to enjoy a coffee alone and they wake up earlier to make sure that I don’t

My wife and I are starting an Escape Room franchise where groups of strangers have to get our 3 kids under age 5 dressed and out of the room in one hour

I told my toddler that she could only pack the essentials so she filled two suitcases, one with socks and the other with stuffed animals
