12 Hilarious Tweets About Interior Decor As A Parent

I remember entering into that phase of life where we got a house and were ready to start decorating in a way that didn’t look as if we just scored all of our shit off the side of the road (it’s called frat house chic, sweetie, look it up). I toiled over Pinterest spreads, forgetting that there’s one huge obstacle standing between me and having a nice looking home: my darling children.

Now, I could cite the fact that they have this compulsion to drag everything I own on the floor, or I could blame it on the fact that they keep me so busy cleaning up after them that I simply have no time to decorate like a fancy betch, but really it’s a combination of everything. Unless my idea of home decor expands to include peanut butter handprints on all of my textiles, then it simply won’t be a thing that happens in my house.

Among the things standing in the way of you and a perfectly decorated house? Your spouse who loves tartan. Your cat who loves puking. Your teenager who loves making everything in your house a resting place for old cereal bowls. Oh yes, the struggle is very real when it comes to decorating like you live in a magazine, when really you live in a glorified zoo.

Here’s what the funny parents of Twitter had to say about the struggle of interior decorating as a parent!

1. Decor is in the eye of the beholder. Also, Capri Sun

2. It’s true. They’re everywhere, except where they’re supposed to be

3. Ok, first of all – who asked you, man

4. Seriously.

5. Can’t wait till it catches on at HGTV

6. It’s deceptively easy to keep up this look

7. If I had a dollar for every empty cardboard tube I longed to throw at these animals…

8. It’s postmodern, ok, trust me on this

 

9. Now to charge my family admission to come in…

10. It’s “modern eclecticism”

11. This will catch on for sure with the busy set

12. Ahhhh. HOME.

 

So if your house looks like a bomb exploded in a garbage factory, then just take comfort in that fact that you’re not alone. And, Hell, you could always just redecorate when they move out, unless you have grandkids; then maybe you should just take that dream, put it in a little boat and set it on fire as you toss it out to sea. Farewell!
