This past weekend I moved to another country, and people are like “omg! So jealous! You live in paradise, now you can relax!” And it’s like I’m sorry there seems to have been some miscommunication I still brought my kids with me so no.

I was once introduced to a couple at a party. We chatted for a while then their kids came over. I looked at the kids, then looked at the couple and said “omg how did you two have such beautiful children” and that’s why I shouldn’t be allowed to talk to people

I think it's important to start traditions with your kids when they are young. For example, we do this thing on the weekends where my wife & I cook dinner, then our kids criticize it.

My 10yo refers to Facebook as “Nosebook” because my “nose is always in it,” and I think this is what “getting owned by your kid” feels like
