Parenting is undeniably challenging. While that may seem like a simple observation, it holds a lot of truth. What it really needs is humor, and thankfully, the parents on Twitter delivered that in abundance throughout 2015. From dealing with tantrums and sleep-deprived babies to sneaking snacks without sharing, this year was filled with tweets that only fellow parents could truly appreciate. Social media has a unique way of connecting us during those isolating moments, allowing us to find laughter amidst the chaos of raising children. So, a big shoutout to the witty parents on Twitter who provided relatable laughs, reminding us that we aren’t alone while we hide in closets munching on Cheetos and sipping wine straight from the bottle. And hey, sometimes that’s perfectly fine.
