These are too relatable.
Parents are sharing their parenting experiences on Twitter in five words or less and they are too good.
Parenting can be a wild ride – sometimes it’s infuriating, often it’s heartwarming, very occasionally it’s soothing. You could write an essay about what’s it’s like to be a parent and the things a parent has to go through everyday.
But that’s not what people are doing here. They are condensing their entire parenting experience into five words or less. Sometimes less is more and this is definitely one of those times.
Mums and dads are tagging the tweets as #ParentingIn5WordsOrLess and they are actually perfect.
Some tweets express the love parents feel for their child, many express the frustration, all capture the craziness of raising another human being.
Here are a few of the great tweets.
All parents reach this stage eventually, especially if it’s not child number one:
Are you bleeding? You’re fine. #ParentingIn5WordsOrLess
