Itās that time of year again! Daylight Saving Time is ending.
For most people, transitioning out of Daylight Saving Time comes with the benefit of an extra hour of sleep. For parents of young children, āfalling backā just means having your kiddos wake you up extra early in the morning.
At least youāre not alone in the struggle, though. Weāve rounded up some of the most hilarious and spot-on tweets that sum up āfalling backā for parents. Read and commiserate below.
Wouldnāt it be awesome if kids woke up on the weekend at 5 a.m. instead of 6?

The extra hour from Daylight Saving Time gave me the opportunity to get so much more housework done!
— Marl (@Marlebean) November 4, 2018
I didn't do any of it.
But I certainly had the opportunity.
I'm hanging out with my wide awake daughter at 5am. But tell me again about the extra hour of sleep I'm supposed to get with the time change

#DaylightSavingTime- to a parent, "fall back" only means the clock will read 2am when your kid wakes you at 3am "just to say hi".

As a parent, when I see the end of daylight savings on the calendar it's the opposite of counting down to Christmas. #dread #5amherewecome

Happy Daylight Saving, or as it's known 'round these parts, the day my kids get up at 4:30 and act like lunatics.

DONT
CARE
ABOUT
DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS
TIME
Both of my kids woke up one hour earlier than usual this morning. Two things:
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) November 3, 2019
1.) If you say they technically woke up at the same time, technically you're an asshole.
2.) The only reason I want to go back any amount of time is to throat punch the inventor of Daylight Savings.
Daylight saving time: when your kids wake up an hour too early and one colors the other's face and arms with dry-erase marker. #parenting

I was going to write a tweet about how my kids woke up early and Daylight Saving Time ruined my life.
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) November 4, 2018
But I woke up this morning in a hotel room 1,000 miles from my kids.
I have a new annual tradition.
Ah, Daylight Savings Time. It's like having jet lagged kids for a week without the fun trip to show for it.

Daylight Saving Time ends tonight. Perfect chance to stay up and watch SNL.

Just kidding! Fellow parents of infants: I'll see you at 4:30.
remember to pray for parents whose kids will now just get up an hour earlier because of daylight savings time.

Bring it, Daylight Savings Time. You're just another day in parenthood.
I'm looking forward to having an extra hour to drink wine.

Daylight Saving Time. So my kid can be up at 6:15 instead of 7:15. Cool.
