Here are 14 tweets showing exactly how they feel now the autumn term has arrived.

Parents are here, there and everywhere trying to get back into the new routine.

I just had to ask my 9 year old daughter what time her bedtime was before she broke up from school 🤣 #yesimthatkindamum #BackToSchool

Good the way I sprayed sun cream instead of detangling spray on my daughter’s hair just before leaving the house this morning. #backtoschool

Nagging my kids to brush teeth, wash faces, comb hair, and remember backpacks.. as I walk out the door with none of those things done and forgot my purse🙄

Many forgot to take those back to school piccies.

I was so eager to get the kids out of the house that I forgot to take a picture of them this morning #backtoschool #moremetime

Some parents are sharing tips to make mornings go a little smoother.

Top tip for parents of younger children starting school...

Label their shoes!

My (then) 5 year old daughter came home with the wrong shoes in junior infants!

And we never got those expensive shoes back and her new ones didn't even fit!#BackToSchool pic.twitter.com/3nIHv7YflY

While others are anticipating what the new school year will bring.

I can't wait to see all the papers my son will bring back from school tonight! Really! I love getting mail and filling out forms! #nerdalert #BackToSchool pic.twitter.com/UVZi0idR6o

And many parents are, let’s be honest, pretty happy about it.

Praise be.

Made it through the first day of school pick up without having to converse with other parents.#LivingMyBestLife #momlife #BackToSchool #introvert
