St. Patrick’s Day brings to mind green beers, late night debauchery and “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” buttons.
But like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day tends to become a different experience after you have kids. Between the Pinterest fails, battle to persuade a tiny person to wear green, and Lucky Charms messes, the holiday isn’t quite as carefree as it once was.
But it’s certainly filled with opportunities for humor. We rounded up some hilarious tweets from parents about the St. Patrick’s Day experience with kids. Grab a Guinness and read on:

All these parents taking pictures of their kids in cute St. Patrick's Day outfits and I can't even get mine to keep pants on.
