Spring cleaning is daunting, plain and simple. If you are anything like me, when you are getting ready for a day, weekend or week of spring cleaning, you do a lot to prepare. For my prep, I like to gather supplies and do things like painting my nails, read War and Peace, watch a Netflix series from start to finish and order an entirely new set of everything to avoid cleaning anything. You know, normal cleaning preparations.
I can only imagine what life is like for parents out there. As a solid member of the “babysit and return” club as far as kids go, I can only get a glimpse of the sticky and messy life of kids. I can barely get the motivation to clean after myself and my cats, let alone tiny, messy versions of me.
Armed with Windex and an addiction to Twitter, instead of cleaning, I compiled a list of Tweets from parents (or those channeling the feelings of parents) to make you laugh and hopefully get you cleaning.
