19 Funny Tweets About How Gross Family Vehicles Are

July 18, 2019 By Mandi Em

More often than not, the family vehicle is a disgusting trash vortex where Pinterest-perfect ideals about cleanliness go to die.

It’s all fun and games when you are young and full of hope, swearing on your life that you will never drive a minivan. Next thing you know, you’re researching affordable models with the highest safety ratings, complete with surround sound systems so you can listen to The Wiggles sing about fruit salad in style.

Gone are the days when you had a name for your car, vacuumed it frequently and had little bits of flair to signal your personality hanging from the rearview mirror. Now, your vehicle is covered in 2 lbs of goldfish crackers, with 2 first aid kits, a Costco-sized bucket of wipes, and the faint smell of McDonald’s fries and farts. If you’re really on the ball, there might even be an air freshener that hasn’t been changed since the Obama administration.

But it’s ok, fam! Having a nasty vehicle is just one of the hallmarks of parenting. Like stretch marks, or the overwhelming desire to run away.

Check Out What The Funny Parents of Twitter Have To Say About How Gross Family Vehicles Are!

14. So. Many. Treasures.

The best parenting advice I can give you is never let your kids keep crayons in the car.

18. This is a good point…

I keep hearing about the dangers of distracted driving and yet car companies still don't offer parents a sound proof barrier like limos.

— Life at Tiffany’s (@lifeattiffanys) May 5, 2016

19. Your car is too gross. We need to put it down.

Unbeknownst to me, my 4 yo opened a container of slime in the back seat which has now melted into the seats and the floor. I brought it to be cleaned and they said it would be easier to total the car.

— Janina Maria (@dontlosethekids) August 11, 2018

So if you feel as though your vehicle is a hoarder house on wheels, you’re not alone!

Most of us with kids are driving around in nasty rolling containers full of God-knows-what. It’s one of the ties that binds us parents together. Solidarity!
