Parenting is a team sport, even if you're a single parent. It's like the saying, "it takes a village." You need multiple perspectives, or else nothing will ever get done. It's important to have help, or you'd be struggling forever. Kids are a lot of work, famously. It takes all day, 24/7, to raise them, and you never get a break. Even when someone else is taking care of them, you're on the hook for their well-being. This is why it's so key to have your support system around you. 

A support system could look like a lot of things. It could look like a babysitter. It could look like a book club that gets you out of the house and helps keep your sanity. It could be a wash-and-fold laundry service. Or it could be this list of parenting tweets that we come together to consume every week. These tweets speak to the experience of a parent in ways that nothing else can. They have your back when you're down, and they would never judge any of your choices.

    NicholasG @Dad_At_Law Dec 9 • Parenting teenagers means constantly shifting between wanting them to come out of their rooms to spend more time with you to wanting them to go back to their rooms because you need some time to yourself.

    meghan @deloisivete . Dec 9 Every year the school sets up a little shop. Year 1 my kid got gifts only for me, but stuff he wanted for himself. Year 2 he bought things only for himself. Year 3 was something for each of us, which means he's right on schedule for some ironic O. Henry level gifts next year.

    Hollie Harris @allholls Dec 5 0 When my 14yo walked into the house after school, he looked at the floor and asked if he could clean it because it was dirty. Then he vacuumed and mopped it. Christmas Miracles are real, people. Or, I might've picked up the wrong kid from school.
