First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby and the endless tweet material. Being married with kids means you probably don’t know what day it is, but you’re sure you’re the only person who ever bothers to refill the filtered water.
It means “getting lucky” is more likely to refer to sleeping through the night than having sex. It means arguing about what you’re going to eat and what you’ll watch on TVÂ until one of you dies.
Luckily, there are a lot of funny people on Twitter who also understand the struggle of being married with kids:
wife: Let’s fool around after the kids go to bed

If you hold your newborn baby up to your ear, you can hear your friends having fun without you.

Not so much “in sickness and in health,” but more “in back-seat driving and open-mouth chewing.”

Husband got excited thinking I was touching myself under the covers but I was actually just opening a Kit Kat I didn’t wanna share.

Does my husband think I’m manipulative? Only when I want him to.

Dinner time with kids is great if you like spending 60 minutes trying to change the subject from Minecraft.

My husband’s sole purpose in life is to have me explain the entire plot of a TV series while I’m trying to watch the last 20 minutes.

Husband: What’s your deepest fantasy?
Me: That when our kids eat dinner they don’t leave any crumbs under the table.— Sara Says Stop (@PetrickSara) October 2, 2016
Wife: I’m leaving you-
Me: Oh thank god I’m not the only one that felt this was over
Wife: …in charge while I go to the grocery store

Get married so you can fail miserably at fulfilling new expectations your wife silently sets for you each and every day.

Let’s get married and have kids so instead of doing fun stuff on the weekend we can go to a kid’s birthday party where everyone coughs.

Me: I’m exhausted.
Husband: Didn’t you take a 2 hour nap?
Me: What do you mean by that?— Jackie Bouvier (@jackiembouvier) February 16, 2016
Wife: why are you breathing like that?
Ahh marriage. When you can be questioned for continuing to live.

Him: Every time we’re out without the kids, she just ignores me and gets drunk.
Therapist: Is that true?
Me: *pouring shots* is what true
