Celebrity parents often have the sort of money and resources that most moms and dads only dream about. After all, with a whole host of caretakers and nannies at their disposal, it may look like these parents have it pretty easy. But some of these celebrity parenting tweets prove even A-list moms and dad suffer their share of #parenitngfails. It looks like kid puke and diaper disasters are the real equalizers that no amount of money or fame can take away.
Fortunately, most celebrity parents have a great sense of humor when it comes to their offspring’s quirks. Even when they’re deep in the trenches, these parents take a second to tweet about the absurd and adorable aspects that come along with parenting. Even on the occasions when the kid is clearly winning that round.
Whether it’s Kristen Bell calling out impossible child locks or Christina Applegate wondering what’s up with kids and poop jokes, these celebrity tweets show that some aspects of parenting are universal. So the next time you’re coping with a screaming baby in an airplane or wondering whether you’ll ever have time to shower again, take heart: many celebrities are just like you! And if one of them rolls up to the Academy Awards with some spit-up on her top, you’ll understand. It’s just a parenting thing.

Being too busy to shower is a reality for celebrity moms as well. At least Christina Applegate isn't afraid to fess up about this truth.
