It's Halloween season, a holiday that can mean high stress for both parents and their progeny. Kids buzz around on a sugar high, demand expensive costumes last minute, and refuse to ruin their get-ups with a needed winter coat. Whatever happened to the days of throwing on a sheet with two holes cut out and calling it a day? When I was a kid, my school's Halloween costume parade was the peak of my year. I'd spend months fretting over the costume, enlisting my mom for help, but inevitably be let down by nobody getting my niche references. The 9th grade wasn't quite ready for a spot-on Margot Tenenbaum.

So I propose a toast to the parents hitting the sidewalks this holiday, trotting around their miniature Elsas and Paw Patrols, managing expectations and shielding eyes from too-scary decorations. And while your kids are trading snickers, here are some parenting tweets that get it, this spooky season and always.
