Happy New Year! Here’s to another 365 days of enjoying the mess, craziness and of course, all the love of parenting. Sit back and enjoy some hilarious tweets about surviving the last seven days from our fave Twitter parents, while you wait for school to resume from the long winter break.

1. When does school start again?

My kids have been home for 9 days for winter break so far and they've been talking the entire time. The. ENTIRE. TIME.

2. The most wonderful time of the year?

Parenting in the winter like, "Don't lick that. Don't touch that. Take your hands out of your mouth. Euuww. Wash your hands."

*Repeat*

3. It’s just not gonna happen.

Trying to get my kids to clean their room is like trying to knock over bowling pins with a marble

Bunk beds: They're all fun and games until you have to change the fitted sheet on the top bunk.

5. Total rebel.

I may be a 37 year old mom but I still know how to live life on the edge. For example, I’m eating my piping hot soup on the couch while my 2yo jumps on the cushion beside me. YOLO. Yeet. And the like. #momlife #parenting #toddlerlife

6. The countdown’s on.

I can't wait for when my daughter's a teenager and loves to sleep so I can come into her room at the crack of dawn, lay next to her and tell her all about how much I love cheese like she did to me this morning.

7. Ugh, how dare they.

So annoying when I’m trying to tweet and my kids are all, “I’m hungry,” or “I’m thirsty,” or “I’m bleeding.”

8. The grass is greener…

Oh you had to go back to work today? My kid doesn’t go back to school until January 8th and wants to “paint the iPad a new color” but yeah that sounds rough

9. Welcome to the club.

It doesn’t matter how great of a parent you are. You will, at least once, drag a shrieking demon child from a public place.
