When it comes to little kids, bedtime can be an absolute battle.
And it's mostly down to the fact that the reasons for not going to bed are seemingly endless - well, at least to them.
There's the countless requests for just
one more story; the 72 glasses of water (and, of course, the equal number of trips to the bathroom); and checking for monsters under the bed/in the closets.
And, you know, just generally not wanting to
go to sleep.
Basically, when it comes time to get the little ones tucked in for the night, the struggle is real - and it feels like whatever you do, the nighttime ritual may just last until the early hours of the morning.
Thankfully, the parents of Twitter understand. Or, at least, are able to relate and find some LOL-worthy humour in the chaos of bedtime routines.
Whether you're struggling to get your little one to actually stay in bed and nod off, or simply looking to commiserate after the never-ending stream of stories - you're definitely not alone mama.
So, here are 20 tweets about that 'hour'-long
bedtime routine that are all too real.
