While it’s hard to believe, it’s officially September! Which means it’s back-to-school season.
As children get ready for class with their handy rulers and notebooks, some of their parents have also had some motivational words of wisdom before their return.
The transition from summer vacation to school is never easy, but with the help of some of these hilarious tweets from parents, having a comedic sense of humor definitely helps.
Silence is everything
When kids are at school, that means they are not at home. Thus, silence.
If you didn’t post a back-t0-school pic…
…Did it ever even happen?
Don’t forget your school bags
Well, maybe they’re not school bags.

School parking lot
It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be like on the first day.
A first day miracle
We’ll never be this prepared again.
#MondayMotivation
Never forget why you do it.
Don’t be mad that they’re happy
It’s not their fault, they can’t help it.
Shopping for supplies
It’s a race.
A rare occasion
We all like to try a little bit harder on the first day.
Bye!
Look kid, I love you, but I love you even more when you’re gone for a few hours.
Just so you know
This is pretty helpful information.
“You got so big!”
Guess it makes sense when you’re literally a child.
Shouldn’t you be happy?
Yes, cue the tears!
Because it’s cute!
And we love organization.
Who needs the gym when you have kids?
They are exercise.
Why can’t our lives be just like the cartoons?
It doesn’t seem fair.
School supplies ain’t cheap.
Give us a second and we’ll find $100-worth of stuff to buy.
Late on the first day
But for good reason.
The teachers are already tired
It makes sense, kids can be exhausting.
Here’s a downside of going back to school
If we’re just being honest.
The goals of being a parent are simple
Just hand off your kids to someone else as soon as possible.
This is just the very beginning
Just WAIT until they go off to college!
Even MORE stuff to bring to school
Because the supplies weren’t enough.
Gotta make sure your children are always comfortable
Even if it means yoga pants.
The embarrassing moments never end
Especially in middle school.
What’s the point of back-to-school pics
If you aren’t getting any likes or comments?
Sure, you will be sentimental
But you will also be able to get that pedicure you’ve been dreaming of.
Out of practice
After a long summer vacay, writing skills will be a little rusty.
Moms unite
They are all in this together.
Good way to practice
Seems legit.
Back-to-school > Christmas
Definitely worth a countdown calendar… At least, that’s what parents think.
Here’s some good advice
When you’re going back to school, don’t be a Hufflepuff.
It’s seriously time to go back to school
Or else this parent is going to lose their mind.
Just being honest
Not EVERYONE is sad!
Oh sorry, did you think they were talking about their kids?
FYI: Parents don’t like waking up in the morning either.
There are a LOT of school supplies
Between pencils, rulers, calculators, and notebooks among other things… There’s more than you think!
Facts
Facebook is a crucial component to the first day of school.
Sunday scaries?
More like end-of-summer scaries. Tears will be shed.
There’s always a better parent to go shopping with
Even if you’re not shopping for fun stuff, like video games.
Parents love a good illness
Or 200 illnesses. Who knows what will happen over the course of the year.
It’s always good to be prepared
Prepare for the worst. Always.
Finally, you’re free
You have the whole day ahead of you. What are you going to do with it?
Packing your very first lunch
What are you going to pack? How will you make sure it is nutritious AND tasty enough?
Wearing out brand-new shoes
For young children, it only takes a day.
A very nutritious lunch
Red Bull, candy corn, and beef jerky. Seems appropriate for a small child!
Getting creative with back-to-school photos
This one in particular, deserves a special prize.
Here’s a pro tip
Never know when you’ll need it.
Are the BTS pics worth the traffic you’re causing?
Probably not.
If these tweets have taught us anything, it’s that it is absolutely vital to have a good sense of humor when returning back to school. Happy September!
