40 Parents Whose Back-To-School Tweets Made The Internet Laugh Out Of Empathy

It’s the opposite for me, my mom does that, I just don’t talk to her cause she’s toxic and manipulative, I don’t talk to her all day and succeed in avoiding her, but as soon as I’m comfy in my bed she comes in, sits down, and talks for literal hours as I beg her for sleep, keeping me up till 1am on a school night yet turning my phone off at 9….. I can’t wait to be a legal adult and move out

They know how to save energy and use it wisely

my kids : no words ever spoken *The minute my phone rings * Kids: Mother, allow me to entice you with a tale of every aspiration ever I shall have. (also true for when I try to shower, use the restroom and sleep lol)

Or snack time

What, wait? Middle schools in America don't have playgrounds??

Well, I remember when I was in middle school, we would watch the kids a grade lower than us (who came from the elementary school ) throw tantrums, because they didn’t realize Middle school doesn’t have any equipment in the playground, short breaks, lunch after the elementary school kids (which ends up with the upper school kids eating at 1:30) and generally less teachers tolerating spoiled kids.

In P7 i told my friends if we wanted to play games, we have to do it now because in high school you don’t get to, it’s very sad

It doesn't? in Australia you have playgrounds up to year 6

Technically, correct name for it. :D

Most kids are 3 for preschool where I live.

School /preschool? All 3 of mine were dry day and night well before they were 3 and I did the same with my older two grandchildren. At what age do they go to preschool?

Sat down too hard and broke my butt hole

Housekey on a string around your neck.

My husband gave me a great tip - you can't lock yourself out if you never use the thumb latch & have to use the deadbolt instead. Just sayin'.

Geez those back to school commercials with kids jumping for joy over new supplies were always so damn depressing...

My college freshman doesn't even bother with under her breath anymore. "F**k that s***"

The word is bull s h I t

I've never had kids, but I love the Staples commercials with the joyful parents, while playing "It's the most wonderful time of the year."

Oh my! I had this exact convo with my 6 year old Monday! She told me she made a "new best friend!". She even described her as "brown, has small braids, a little shorter than me, and had a Peppa Pig outfit on!" LOL. I ask what is her name? ......Crickets...... :)

my teen's hs emails us like 7 times a day I'm about to block them

I told my kid he should work hard at school, so he’ll get a job he likes when he’s grown up.

That's false you can get a job you hate at 16 and drop out.of school

Not everyone hates their job.

Nah, I dropped out, got my GED, went to job corp and got my diploma, then started my own business, which I actually kind of enjoy.

So true.

Never happen! Youngest is 21 & still can't find shoes

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot find, the courage to face the long drop-off lines, and the wisdom to not b!tch about my coffee getting cold.

The trouble is that for every conscientious parent thinking "Why are there so many texts and emails and letters?" there are just as many other parents complaining to school staff "I wasn't told about any of this!"

My daughter's school uses Remind. Here's hoping its not as hectic.

honestly my mom had a rule where i couldn't do anything until i sat at the table and at EVERYTHING leftover. and she oaxked big lunches. anyway i became overweight then had an eating disorder. if your kid isnt hungry let them eat when they need rather than forcing set food on them and making them eat what they dont want to

My lunches were so horrible I would beg for vegetables from the cafeteria kid's trays, cuz there was no way I could get anyone to trade, and everyone else hated vegetables. Finally we were poor enough to get free lunch.
