My child is crying because her Pokémon are too weak and one thing nobody ever told me about parenting is how hard it is not to laugh at your children

My son was following me around being annoying. I turned around and asked what he wanted. He leaned in, "we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty." No notes! Perfect performance.

Made one of those cute white board signs for my sons first day of preschool. Left the room and came back and he’d erased it and drawn “a big building that’s on fire” instead. pic.twitter.com/RYUAtwy0uU

As spooky season approaches, my very interested toddler has been asking "WHAT HIM NAME?" when we see a skeleton or other ghoulish figure on someone's lawn, and since "I don't know" is unacceptable to people who are almost 3, I have been spitballing names of people I don't like.

It’s a beautiful day for a walk in the forest! Except my 3yo brought some ham in her pockets and she dropped some of the ham in a muddy stream and I had to tackle her to stop her from retrieving and eating the muddy stream ham.

My toddler wanted to play a game with her baby doll. The idea was to get the baby to lie down and go to sleep. We’ve been playing for over an hour and the baby still won’t sleep. This game is a little too realistic for me.

I think kids would be less excited to grow up if they knew how much of adulthood is just cleaning, organizing, and figuring out what to eat again

My husband told me to lock my bedroom door so I could have a little break. 5 was very concerned that I might not know who was knocking and saying Mama every few minutes, so he slid this under the door. “It’s me, Mom. Your son.” pic.twitter.com/XJGp6PxXia

I would like a gender reveal party where it reveals which parent is the bigger asshole.

if having grown teens has taught me anything it's that you can be wrong for not helping them make better decisions and somehow at the same time also be wrong for always telling them what to do

Do you ever feel anxious for seemingly no reason & track your thoughts so you can pinpoint the thought that triggered the anxiety & then realize it’s because you were thinking about living on the house boat that Tom Hank’s lived on in Sleepless in Seattle but with a 2 year old?

My 2yo just asked for “one more tiny kiss” 🥺🥺🥺 and it’s almost like earlier today I didn’t think to myself, “there is a reason that the baby box at the fire station is too small to fit a toddler in there.”

I told 14 to put the towels from the washer to the dryer 4 hours ago. I asked an hour ago if he did and he said yes.He never turned the dryer on. I guess that shit's on me for not specifying.

My kid sure likes playing restaurant for someone who makes meal time the most difficult and stressful part of my existence.

My 6yo set a timer so that I could have a rest after eating. When the alarm went off it was time for me to go play with him. He set the timer for 11 seconds. Plenty of time for a rest.

I just want to know- how many years after the kids go to college do you keep finding tiny Lego pieces?

When my daughter was complaining that her sister and friends kept tagging her first even though they know she hates being “it”, apparently, “run faster,” wasn’t the response she was looking for. I know this now.

asked a little kid who was chatting a lot on the train what his favorite ride at Coney Island was and after some hemming and hawing he nodded and said “getting ice cream.” no one has ever been more correct
