21 Parenting Tweets To Prepare You For A New Year

by Ni'Kesia Pannell

The New Year is almost here, and I couldn't be happier. By the looks of these last few months of 2016, I'm sure that there are many people who will join me in feeling the same. For parents, the New Year may not offer that much of a change, but being able to see your children grow is enough to get anyone excited. Although New Year's Eve probably won't be spent the same way for parents as they will for those without children, when I went through this week's roundup of parenting tweets, I found a few gems that are super accurate for what life in 2017 with kids will be like.

Sure, some of the tweets are exactly what parents go through now, but I think that's the point. Though the year on the calendar may change, being a parent won't. That means you'll still be changing poopy diapers and manage to find a way to love it just as much as you did in 2016. There's really no way to prepare for the New Year as a parent, but just in case you're looking for a few things to expect, these 21 tweets are sure to let you in on the secret.
