Parenthood is one of the most thrilling parts of life for many people. At the same time, it's also one of the most testings if not frustrating parts of one's life.
From simply devoting your life to you and your partners or your family and pets, you now devote every single second of your day-to-day to a tiny human that you must protect at all costs from the big bad world. Not only that but you also have to guide them to be good humans in that said world.
In addition to that, things like sleepless nights, temper tantrums, burnout, and unforeseen circumstances can break your faith in yourself. Some parents even develop the good old "parent guilt."
When they experience this, however, not every parent spirals into a deep well of self-shaming. Some parents find ways of venting out their frustrations to the world like Twitter.
The platform has given many parents a chance to speak out about their frustrations about parenthood and the best part is that there's a whole community sympathizing with them. And while some of the tweets may seem like they never wanted to be parents in the first place, we all know it's coming from a place of love.
Here are some of the best parent tweets out there of parents who are ready for summer vacation to be done and over with.

thedadRaising a kid isn't easy and even if you're not raising one yourself, just remembering how you were as a kid would give you an idea of what your parents and other parents must have endured or are enduring. That's why we should give a break to some parents.
After all, there was no "How To Raise a Child 101" book given to them at birth. Everyone's just winging it.
Nothing will ever make perfect parents but the mentality of "one day at a time" can work wonders.
