Being a parent can take a lot out of you. Kids can drain you of your energy until you have nothing left to give, and then they get a cold. It never stops. This is why self-care as parents is incredibly important. You need moments to yourself, even if it's only when you're in the bathroom. You need little breaks here and there. Maybe you cherish the silence in your car after you drop them off at school. Maybe when busy you're cutting grapes in half, and you relish popping that extra sweet grape in your mouth.
Maybe you look forward to every Thursday when you get to scroll through our batch of fresh parenting tweets. You take your break and chuckle extra hard because you need it. You needed this relief today. Well, your time has come. It's Thursday. We have the parenting tweets. Life is good, at least at this moment.
