Funny Tweets From Parents In Response To 'Are We There Yet?'
Traveling with kids comes with many — shall we say — challenges.
From wrangling all the stuff they require to dealing with disrupted routines, there’s a reason parents joke that vacations with children are not actually vacations — they’re relocations.
And before you even arrive at your destination, there’s that classic refrain, over and over again: “Are we there yet?”
In honor of summer vacation season, we’ve rounded up 17 funny tweets from parents about this dreaded question from kids ― and their creative responses.

The jokes about “are we there yet” and <insert parental name> being repeated over & over? I thought those were gags. Just bits on sitcoms.
My god, they are NOT.
My kid will demand a response & if one is not received:
