Social media may be killing the art of the adult conversation, but when you have kids, who are you kidding? You don’t have time for an adult conversation. So to that we say, thank goodness for Twitter!
When you’re in the (kind of insane) throes of parenthood, it’s nice to know you’re not the only person contemplating a glass of wine at 4 p.m. or cleaning spaghetti out of your hair. Here are the 10 funniest — and truest! — parenting tweets from this week.

2. Take it easy there, guys
It's like these kids don't realize that the ornaments on the tree need to be exactly 5-1/2" apart. Fucking lunatics.

Enjoy your day. Not de-bumping pickles.

Caregiver told us that Baby E got kissed by a boy in class. I watched as the remaining 10% of my husband's brown hair turn white.

One thing I definitely underestimated when I first became a father was the great amount of joy embarrassing my kids would bring me.
