Let’s reminisce. Remember before kids when the fall back time change meant an extra hour of sleep? Ah, good times.

I remember the first year I realized the joke was on us, as parents. My toddler was already an early riser (awake by 6 a.m., sometimes 5) so in his tiny little body, 5:12 a.m. was now 4:12. And that’s when we started our day. Pretty much in the middle of the freaking night. For a week straight. And officially, that “extra hour of sleep,” like many things (happy hour, a social life, my sanity…), was a thing of the past.

Here are a few other parents bracing themselves for the joy of the upcoming time change. (On Twitter, of course, the best place to bitch about parenthood.)

The only upside to the end of daylight savings time is that I don’t feel guilty about passing out in the dark at 4:00 in the afternoon.

It won’t be THAT bad.

Losing sleep and being left in the dark?

Bring it, Daylight Savings Time. You’re just another day in parenthood.

All parents know turning the clocks back just means the kids get an extra hour to annoy you.

Balance disrupter. Toddler meltdown inducer. Nap time destroyer. Home wrecker.

The only way to do Daylight Savings time right is to have the kids sleep at Grandma’s house.

What part of getting an extra hour of sleep don’t you understand, kids?

Super excited that tomorrow all the clocks I never got around to changing will be right again.

I think my favorite thing about Daylight Savings Time ending is the extra hour of breaking up ridiculous fights between my children.

My kids just got used to the new sleeping schedule from the last daylight saving time.

I didn’t set my clock back last night and I’ve woken up one hour in the future. FYI: Still no flying cars.

When someone without kids complains about daylight savings time I like to remind them that they can literally sleep whenever they want.

It’s okay, people. Because here’s the good news: Now, you can spin the “Hey look, it’s dark out! Must be bedtime!” trick waaaaaay earlier.

Silver lining, my friends! Silver lining.
