Raising kids isn’t easy, even for the rich and famous. In fact, this might be the one place where stars really are just like us—they’re at the mercy of the whims of their children. Taken hostage by tiny people who refuse to reason!
These celebrity parents on Twitter know what you’re going through and have gone through it themselves. With the exception of having tons of money, these parents really do know the struggle of parenthood.
1. Much like you, Olivia Wilde also knows the value of being able to sometimes just plunk the kids in front of the TV.
I can honestly say I love my children more now that they’ve discovered the movie Elf.

Can't believe there's a 3rd "How To Train Your Dragon" movie – this better be the one that actually shows me how to train my f*cking dragon.

9. Like you, Serena Williams has cracked up at her kid.
So my baby is now making phone calls. She picks up the phone somehow gets to dialing and puts the phone to her ear. She than says “oh”. I’m like she’s only 17 months!!!!

It just occurred to me that the majority of my diet is made up of the foods that my kid didn't finish…

15. Like you, Lin-Manuel Miranda is impressed with his kid’s use of language. Sweaty impressed.
My son just invented a new phrase for when he doesn’t want to do something and it’s so damn good…
Me: Hey, do you want some breakfast?
Sebastian (shaking his head): I’m sweaty about that.
I’M SWEATY ABOUT THAT.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) August 8, 2018
16. And he proudly watches as his kid soars above him.

"I Just Want To Eat Bread Now."
I knew he'd surpass me but not so SOON.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) September 19, 2017

18. And she makes mistakes that come back to bite her on the butt.
I told Luna to “stop it” ONCE, months ago and now when she’s doing something she knows is wrong she screams DONT TELL ME TO STOP IT before I even say a word. As soon as it came out of my mouth I knew it would end me.
