Welcome, parents, guardians, and fellow survivors of the bedtime wars. No book, class, or well-meaning relative could ever prepare you for the rollercoaster that is parenting: the joy, the trials and tribulations, and the bizarre realization that you now say things like "we don't lick the remote."

Sure, it's magical watching your kid grow up, develop a personality, and confidently claim your favorite band as something they "just discovered." But it's also wild that your daily routine now involves debating with a three-year-old about which color cup is their favorite that day or trying rebrand carrot sticks as something more exciting like Magic Bunny Treats that give you special powers. 

You're doing amazing, truly… even if your dinner tonight is just whatever your kid didn't finish. Scroll down for some of the funniest, most painfully relatable tweets that sum up the delirious joy and constant exhaustion of parenting in the 21st century.

    redyellowgreendance @RYGdance Follow I don't know who needs to hear this, but the worst thing you can do when you notice your kids are playing nicely together is telling them that you like how they're playing nicely together.
