35 Hilarious Tweets That Are Way Too Relatable For Parents
By Mark PygasNov. 18 2019, Updated 2:15 p.m. ET
Based on how I acted as a child, having kids seems like a terrible idea in about every regard. Sure, they're cute at times, but you also have to put up with the diapers and temper tantrums which eventually translate into a complete lack of any sleep. Then when they get older they take their sweet time flying the coup. Then comes college so don't even get us started on that. So the pros and cons are looking to really favor the cons. If you need any proof that the whole parenting thing is a no-go, just look at these tweets from actual parents.
Then they complain about being sleepy in the morning.
