Hippity hoppity greetings and Happy Easter, fellow parents! Or is it really? As with most holidays, Easter can send our kids into a hyperactive frenzy, leaving us to deal with the aftermath. But just like any other major celebration, we power through.
We brave the chaotic egg hunts, stuff baskets with far too much candy, and then wonder why our little ones are bouncing off the walls. We even endure the awkwardness of taking them for photos with a stranger in a bunny costume—an image that might haunt our dreams until summer. And of course, the endless cleanup of Easter grass? That’ll last until the snow returns. Yet, we embrace it all for the sake of love, and thankfully, the witty parents of Twitter keep us laughing.
- It’s a miracle!
How convenient is it that the Easter Bunny’s only toys are plastic eggs…? - BRB, hiding in the closet forever.
Even the “not-so-scary” bunny gives me chills; the thought of the “scary” one has me a bit terrified. - Genius.
Spending $50 is a steal compared to hiring a babysitter for the day—brilliant idea! - It never dies.
We really need to gather every last piece of Easter grass and burn it. It’s the only solution. But wait—no matter what, it’ll still be lurking in every corner of the house until the holidays roll around again. - Surely.
Every festive occasion is a perfect excuse to spark a minor argument with your spouse. Don’t let this chance slip away! - We play to win.
Am I the only one who sends their kids out with helmets and pads before the egg hunt? Whatever; second place is just the first loser. - What luck.
Is your chocolate craving worth dimming your child’s joy? Yes, absolutely. - Nah.
Moms don’t really get holidays. Except for Mother’s Day—and we all know how chaotic that can be. - Lol.
This is one of the few perks of parenthood: kids are a never-ending source of free candy. Let us enjoy this small victory. - Funny how that works.
Just a thought: why not leave his shoes out among the plastic eggs in the yard? - Keep looking.
As long as we have chocolate to munch on, everything else is fine. - Shudder.
Who thought a giant bunny hiding eggs was a good idea? They must have been a bit out there. - *facepalm*
Honestly, it’d save so much energy just to put everything in a basket instead of hunting it down. - Savage.
Happy Easter, everyone!
