It’s not easy to tweet while parenting, but the moms and dads of Twitter seem to pull it off — with equal parts wit and woe — every single week. Great work surviving another week out there ???! Here are the best parenting tweets for the week of May 18-24, 2019.
1. Toddlers are an enigma.
Toddlers are funny because they’ll say “No” to everything they need to live but if there’s a deflated balloon in the gutter they’re all “OMG I NEED THAT!”

2. We call this MythBusters for new parents.
Me: The whole “terrible two’s” thing is a myth.
Friend: That’s good to know.
Me: It’s actually much worse than that.

3. Because sharing is overrated.
Me: Want to go tell your brothers the Mac and Cheese is ready?
3yo: No Thanks. I don’t want to share with anyone.

5. Caution: bubble-making can blow your mind.
If I’ve learned anything as a parent, it’s that blowing bubbles is a marathon, not a sprint.

6. It’s hard to find a Tooth Fairy you can trust these days.
One of these days my kids are going to figure out the tooth fairy isn’t the forgetful little turd I’ve always accused her of being

7. (See above)
If you haven't had a tooth wrapped in a napkin in your jacket pocket for a week, are you even a mom?

10. Always rooting for you, son.
My son is on a 4-day “spill water or milk on the table” streak and at this point, I kind of just want to see how far he gets.
