Need a cup (or pot) of coffee to deal with your kids in the morning? You are not alone! So go reheat your lukewarm coffee, sit down, and check out the funniest parenting tweets about coffee.

So whether your coffee is hot, cold, lukewarm or served with a side of broccoli (one of our more depressing experiences) the parents of Twitter have been there too. So we hope you enjoy these Tweets – and that they make you feel a little less bad about your own sad coffee.

Trying to find a pregnancy village? Finding your people isn’t the easiest, but if you’re looking for a pregnancy support system, here are the 7 friends you need to get you through.

I mean, you’ve heard this saying before- “It takes a village to raise a child.” And while the saying’s not wrong, we think the saying is also missing a little something.

After all, it also takes a village to raise a mother. 

Pregnancy is exhausting. It can drain you physically, and it can leave you wondering if pregnancy can actually, literally make you crazy. We’d argue that pregnancy can be one of the hardest life transitions for a woman, but you’re going to hear more about what a “magical” time it is.
