If you're a parent right now, then you are probably in need of some tweets.

Summer is not an easy time to be a parent. It's one of the hardest times of year to do it, actually. It's so hot outside, the kids are out of school, and they need entertaining. It's a great time to bring your child to work, if you're allowed to do that. When I was a kid, there was nothing I loved more than scampering around my dad's office. He would set me free with all the office supplies and snacks my little heart could desire. I'd spend all day playing with highlighters and sticky notes and drinking LaCroix from the office fridge. It was a great time to be alive. Not an ounce of responsibility, all of the perks of office-hood. If you can give that to your child, then you absolutely should.

Summer is full of opportunities for boredom. This can be a wonderful thing as a child. You're set free to roam for hours and hours without anything to do. Unfortunately, we've gotten too good at not being bored. We're used to filling the space with distractions until we're completely run dry. But summer is all about letting yourself be bored with no consequences. You let your mind roam until it stumbles upon something interesting. This is what kids should be doing. But as a parent, you might need some distractions from all of that. This is where the tweets come in.

These tweets know what it's like to wrangle a child in 100-degree heat who just insists on playing outside and drinking no water. They know what it's like to have your child scream “I'm bored" for the 19th time this hour. They know what it's like to go to the park just to find that everyone else had the same idea and now you're fighting for a place to sit. All this and more. Keep scrolling to read the best parenting tweets of the week and see what we're on about. Then come back next week for even more.
