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.

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.
