Being a parent is all about picking your battles. When you're not a parent, you imagine how you'll have all the answers. You have ideas about being the perfect parent, having everything go your way, and not letting your kids get away with anything you don't want them to. Life, though, is messy and unpredictable. Sometimes you're just fighting to get through the day. Sometimes you're too tired to care. Sometimes your kids really just wants to eat their lasagna with a straw (like in one of these tweets) and you have to let it happen.
Kids are weird, kids are messy, and most of all, kids are their own people. They're going to have their own opinions on what is right and wrong, and though you can guide them, you can't control them. It's hard to surrender control. But you know what's easy? Giving these parenting tweets a good scroll. They're here for you.
