Are you looking for a reminder that all parents are on the verge of total insanity? Would you like reassurance that we are all hanging on by a thread here? There’s just something about the Twitter moms and dads that make me feel normal.
Let’s check out what they had to share with us this week.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. We were just… sleep talking"#parentingfail
Well, at least they had a clever response…
