This week is already flying by, thanks to Christmas! The family get-togethers, gifts and sweet treats are finally dwindling and most of us are just ready to get back into a routine.

While we’re waiting for that to happen––because, hello winter break––catch up on some funny tweets from parents who survived the crazy holidays.

1. DUH, mom.

6yo “Mom I loved Christmas today. Can we do it again tomorrow?”

Me “You want me to wrap up all your gifts you got today so you can unwrap them again?”

6yo “That’d be ridiculous. I want you to go buy me new gifts and wrap those for me!”

2. Thanks a lot, “no assembly required.”

As a tired parent, I’m legitimately stoked that the Barbie Dream Camper took no time to assemble. I’ve spent the last two hours appreciating that fact as I apply the 30+ stickers onto its various surfaces. #Christmas2018

3. Ain’t that the TRUTH!

Merry “some assembly required” day!

4. Oh, we’ll take that bet.

5. Uh, ok….

Daughter: Let's play family! You can be the grandmom, but you have to dress like an old person.
Me: Ok, what should I wear?
Daughter: Actually, you can just stay in what you're wearing now.

6. GOALS!

My 11 year old is taking a bath with one of her new bathbombs and bodywash/lotion sets. I seriously just heard her yell from the bathroom, "Will someone bring me a glass of apple juice in a fancy glass!"

7. Mama’s saving every one.

Be careful with those gift bags, kids. These are your future inheritance.

8. Always

My husband bought our daughter a harmonica.

It’s the ones we love deepest who hurt us the most.

9. 🙄🙄🙄

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except my preschooler who’s been putting on her pajamas for the last 3 hours.

10. Let’s hope the lesson “sticks.”

90% of raising girls is telling them "Don't put stickers on that."
