As we bid farewell to summer, parents everywhere breathe a collective sigh of relief. It’s that time of year again—sending the kids back to school. If you’re like me, you might feel a little like teachers do in the waning days of the school year—exhausted from the chaos of summer and ready for a breather. With the bus driver now a cherished hero and the drop-off line looking like a scene from a movie, we can finally celebrate the return to routine.
The witty parents of Twitter have a knack for articulating the sheer joy that this season brings, tweeting with the enthusiasm of someone who has just gained their freedom after three long months. Here are some of the shared sentiments:
- They’ll get it when they’re parents too.
- Make it Pinterest-worthy or forget it!
- Is it inappropriate to roll out a red carpet for the bus driver? If so, I don’t want to be right.
- The desire to go back to school is sometimes just as strong for kids as it is for parents.
- If you think the first batch of “donate money” paperwork is the last, think again. You might want to brace yourself for more than 40 requests this year.
- Most mornings, I resemble a chaotic mess at the bus stop, so I absolutely support the idea of selective amnesia.
- You don’t have a calendar counting down the days until school starts? I’m sorry, but we might not be able to continue this friendship.
- After a summer of late nights, getting them to school on time feels like a miracle—two hours late is the new normal.
- We’ve done our part for five years, school. Now it’s your turn to step up.
- Rookie mistake! My kids devoured an entire pack of snacks intended for their lunches in mere hours. Invest in a specialized snack storage solution.
- Reunited with the school routine, and it feels fantastic!
- The kids spent the summer practicing their farming skills and sleeping like they’re college students.
- Finally, we are so ready for this! Good luck to all the teachers out there!
