40 Hilarious And Totally Relatable Tweets That Perfectly Describe That Rollercoaster Ride Called Parenting
Just some cheeky parents turning to Twitter to blow off some steam...
If you're a parent, this period may be very hectic for you (as if there's a period that's not hectic). It's all on you, from helping your kids with their homework (while working from home) to running errands and finishing chores.
Throw in constant worrying about the future in these uncertain times, and you have a front-row seat for the premiere of your own "Flight Over the Cuckoo's Nest" adaptation. Children may bring delight to the world, and even to their parents (on occasion), but their small brains function in mysterious ways.
We all know that children say the most amusing things, but what about parents? They also say some pretty humorous things, it turns out.
The best way to combat stress is through humor, and no one can come up with better jokes than parents. So, for those of you in need of a pick-me-up, we have a monthly surprise in store for you: this wonderfully relevant compilation of parenting tweets fresh from the oven.
The list has everything, from children's mischief to parents offering their everyday wisdom in excruciatingly amusing one-liners. Grab a cup of coffee, scroll down, and tell us how your parenting game is going this month in the comments!

We've all learned from these tweets that being a mom or dad isn't for everyone. Being a parent requires an enormous amount of patience, devotion, and "outside-the-box" thinking, which makes it one of the most difficult jobs in the world.
You would think it gets easier with time, but it doesn't really. But that's the reason we love our kids so much. If parenting were easy, we wouldn't appreciate it.
What's your favorite tweet from our list? Is it the 6-year-old drunk with power or the kid who wants that snack with two eyes and a scary mouth?
