The arrival of summer is no doubt an exciting time for kids, but is perhaps a less than thrilling occasion for parents. The beginning of summer vacation indicates the end of your kids' school year, which means you're going to have to figure out additional ways to occupy their time. For some parents, summer vacation might be seen as a relaxing period in which you're given more time to bond with your kids. Other parents, however, might instead be dreading this season, which brings with it double the tantrums, double the sunburns and requires double the patience. Luckily, to get you through this difficult time period, we have another weekly installment of the funniest parenting tweets for you to scroll through.
If you're part of the latter group of parents who aren't exactly thrilled about the beginning of the summer season, it should be comforting to note that you most certainly are not alone. Thousands of parents are just like you and constantly feel as if they're drowning under the responsibilities of parenthood, as made clear through the tweets below from Twitter's most hysterical parents. This summer, make sure to purchase an extra bottle of sunscreen — and an extra bottle of wine — to help you get through the madness that summer brings.
