Parenting is not for the faint of heart, or for those without a sense of humor.
That’s why the internet is such a great place to seek out some comic relief and a bit of reassurance that we are all slowly losing our minds.
This week, we rounded up 8 hilarious tweets from parents that sum up so many things that we already know:
Kids are the worst shopping buddies. The. Very. Worst.
Costco with kids is always an adventure. Today I had the privilege of catching throw up in my hand. Twice. #momlife #momsquad

Sometimes, you just got to stand back and take a picture. You’ll need evidence someday.
Yes fellow @Target shoppers, I did just take a photo of my son having a meltdown to send to my mom group chat because sometimes it really does take a village. #motherhood #parenting #momsquad

None of us really feels qualified for this. The best we can do is fake it ‘til we make it.
Does anyone else constantly look at their kid and think “omg I’m someone’s mom?? “
Because I do it daily 😅🤯#momlife #momblogger #momsquad— Mommy Merlot🍷 (@mommymerlot1) January 19, 2019
Bathroom doors are only for appearances. Why even bother closing them?
Guys this is serious. I really think that my kids don’t understand that their dad can also get them milk. #parenthood #momsquad #heisstandingrightthere #iaminthebathroom

Kids are bizarre little creatures. It’s best not to ask too many questions.
Anyone else have a kid that likes to take random things to school with them?
Yesterday it was his soccer medal.
Today, I had to negotiate my Jason hockey mask out of his backpack.#Parenting #patfrat #momsquad #LifeofDad

Cleaning is an exercise in futility. Just give it up.

Don’t bother sitting down. There’s a little alarm in your couch cushions that only they can hear!

Toddlers have superpowers. Never underestimate them.
Imagine if we could all accomplish as much as unsupervised toddlers can… 😂 #momlife #momhumor pic.twitter.com/Gil5ZqfOGu

Do you have any favorite parenting tweets or jokes to share? Let’s all have a laugh – so we don’t cry. This is a thankless and harrowing job but when your hands are covered in vomit or your kids won’t let you pee in peace, just remember: you are not alone.
