Coffee is more than just a beverage for parents ― it’s a lifeline. Sure, you’ll rarely get to drink it while it’s hot, or you’ll spend all morning searching for your misplaced mug of it, but in the end it keeps you functioning when you inevitably don’t get enough sleep (for several years).
We’ve rounded up our favorite tweets from parents about the beverage:
Before I had kids, I didn't know I could drink a pot of coffee before 6am.

*orders 4 large coffees*
Stranger:
*looks at me*
"So how many kids do you have?"
Didn't realize how much motherhood had changed me until I army crawled in & out of my sleeping baby's room to get my 1/2 cup of cold coffee.

I didn't have time to have my coffee before drop off this morning. Anyway. Hopefully I brought them to the right school.

I've discovered the key to always having a hot cup of coffee!

Never have children.
I'd love a VIP line at my coffee shop for parents whose kids have never slept well

I haven't had enough coffee to remember how to make coffee.

Before kids: "Oh I don't drink coffee"
— Wendy S. (@maughammom) June 16, 2016
1 kid: "I'll have one cup, lots of cream & sugar"
2 kids: "THE WHOLE POT BLACK YES I KNOW IT'S HOT"
I'm convinced the microwave was invented by a parent who was sick and tired of cold coffee.

"One more cup of coffee and I'll be that peppy person I've always admired."

I'm just a girl. Standing in front of a coffee mug. Hoping to drink it before it's cold.

"So what needs to happen so this gets done?" Me: Three cups of coffee.

I've been on a trip and really miss my kids...wait this coffee tastes weird. It's like all hot and stuff.
— Beau Coffron (@lunchboxdad) January 25, 2016
Just tried sipping coffee out of my phone instead of my mug. Like 4 times in a row before I realized what I was doing.
— Valerie (@ValeeGrrl) September 14, 2016
Don't have kids.
Today someone asked what time I stop drinking coffee for the day and I was like, One more time in English?
— Brenna Jennings (@SuburbanSnaps) September 24, 2016
Been chasing that high ever since...

I'm just saying if they can make hot coffee taste good and iced coffee taste good, they can do more with lukewarm coffee.

- Me waiting 30 seconds for the Keurig machine to make a cup of coffee
Started the day by leaving my coffee on the roof of the car, in case you wondered what superior intellect I've passed down to my six kids.

I'm making #coffee.

3yo says: mama, coffee is for your body to wake up.
I have taught her well. #coffeelover #momlife
