  • Parent burnout is real, and these tweets can make you feel less alone in that struggle. Sometimes you just need a break where you can zone out and look at some tweets and turn off your brain for a while. Turning off your brain is an amazing thing to do, and I feel the impulse to do it so often. There are so many things that we want to avoid. There is so much going on in the world and in our lives that we probably want to drown out every once in a while. Especially if you're a parent. There is so much chatter and buzz and things to think about when you close your eyes at the end of the night. You want a little clarity sometimes. You don't mind that you feel your brain going smooth. Sometimes a smooth brain is exactly what you need. The internet is very good at providing that. That's what these parenting tweets are all about. They get it. They know you don't have the capacity for a lot right now. They know your mornings are as chaotic as your evenings, and that it never really stops. They're here with you every step of the way, and they will always understand just what you need. So if that sounds like something you might be interested in today, then you've come to the right place. Look no further.
