Sometimes, I think about my future and wonder how many kids I’m going to have. The younger I was, the more kids I thought I would have. But, as I got older and discovered things like Twitter, I realized that being a parent isn’t all that incredible.
Enjoy these funny mom tweets!
Sure, having kids and making your own tiny people seems like a really special experience. But, then they get older, and bigger, and begin to mouth off to you–who wants that? Not I.

Ah, morning: the sun is shining, the coffee’s brewing, and your kids’ screen time for the day is still fresh enough that you haven’t started to feel guilty about it yet.

Childbirth classes should include useful parenting advice, like how to dispose of a kid’s artwork in the outside trash bin only.

Parenting is stressful because when kids are loud, they’re annoying and when they’re quiet, they might be about to lose a limb or eyeball.

I’m not gonna lie, I got extremely emotional while dropping off my little girl to preschool this week. I could barely get her to class. It’s so hard to focus when I’m blinded by tears of joy.
