Parenting and a good drink—it’s a combination that feels as natural as peanut butter and jelly. If you were a fan of casual sips before kids entered your life, you likely find even more joy in that glass of wine or beer now. After a long day spent negotiating with your preschooler over a lost toy, a simple pour from a box of affordable red wine can feel like a luxurious treat from a top-notch vineyard.
To those parents who choose not to indulge, we salute you; you’re the rare unicorns of the parenting world. But for the rest of us navigating the tumultuous waters of parenthood, the witty banter from the funny parents of Twitter resonates deeply. Whether it’s a glass of wine to keep calm during a homework battle or a few beers to survive a children’s birthday bash, these amusing tweets capture the essence of parenting with a side of booze.
