If the funny moms and dads of Twitter are any indication, having a love-hate relationship with your kids’ passion for sports is the norm.
Sure, parents enjoy watching their kids play the game they adore, and as a bonus, they ensure their kids are staying active. But sometimes, it can be just as fun to vent about your kids’ hectic game schedule, the cost of their equipment, and your new laundry schedule (because, let’s be real, that uniform is always dirty).
We turned to the comedian parents of Twitter to capture this plight. Here are 17 tweets about the “joy” of kids sports.
Sorry you just remembered that you were supposed to put your kid's sports uniform in the dryer last night.

What I love most about my kids being in sports is how an active lifestyle is their norm and also how I never know whether we’ll be eating dinner at 3:45pm or a quarter to midnight.

First soccer game of the season. In the glorious tradition of all sports movies, the other team is huge and well organized, like an army.

Playing team sports is a great way for kids to experience getting yelled at outside of the home

Sign your kids up for sports so that they can get exercise, and drive-thru for dinner.

I'm not built to watch my kids participate in sports. 😩

Kids talk about how excited they are for sports until 7:30 AM on Saturday and you are dragging their ass out of bed and into soccer cleats.

Why didn't anyone tell me that most of being a parent is searching for missing pieces of sports uniforms/equipment?

Do you like the feeling of never being home & living out of your car?

Then having kids involved in sports is for you.
Waiting for my son to change into clothes for after school sports is the new waiting in car line

The best part of peewee sports is having to remember all the kids' and parents' names.
— Andy Herald (@AndyHerald) October 15, 2016
Maybe I mixed up the best part with the worst part.
When did sports become about whose turn it is to bring snack?
— Kalvin (@KalvinMacleod) June 20, 2015
There should be a service where you can rent parents to go see your kids play sports in your place.

Let's get overly excited & sign our kids up for sports then hope & pray for rain so they will cancel every practice and game for the season.
— Jennifer Lizza (@outsmartedmommy) June 9, 2015
Spring Sports nights means asking the kids questions like "Would you like to shove dinner down your throat before practice or before bed."

When choosing a sport for your child, always consider the availability of indoor plumbing before deciding where to invest your money.

Ahhh, the communal little league batting helmet. Or as I call it, the ultimate head lice dispersal system.
