My 5 year old is going to be a witch for Halloween. But she doesn't want to wear a hat. No wig, either. The black dress? Too itchy. Oh, and she's not down with green makeup. The only part of the costume she likes is the broom. My 5 year old is going to be a janitor for Halloween.

Just thinking about how when my son was a toddler, he used to count like this:

“8…9…10…I-love-it…12…13…”
Don’t have kids if you’re not a morning person. At 7:45am I had to break up a fight because my daughter made a human out of clothes and her brother ran in and attacked it and she kept screaming “HE RUINED MY HUMAN OF CLOTHES” and it was so early.

Today, one of my kids showed me her to do list organized by subject and urgency, and my other kid walked into the wall while trying to read a book.

when i met him, i should’ve recognized the red flags because he immediately wanted to move in with me. 11 months later he still has no job or money and i can’t do anything without him watching my every move.

like, i know he’s my son but he’s gotta get it together.
My kid is asking me questions like “what is ethics,” and I just want to rewind to the “do mermaids know what pants are” stage because it was easier.

Welcome to the next phase of parenthood where your kids can finally sleep through the night and you still can’t.

My toddler looked sad, so I started dancing in front of her to try cheer her up. She looked at me and shook her head. That’s a no.

Stages of a quick trip to Costco:
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) October 3, 2023
1. I need only one thing.
2. I need a shopping cart.
3. I need help loading this in my car.
4. I need a bigger car.
My daughter wrote a story titled “my mom loves coke” but didn’t clarify it was the soda and now I’m nervous for parent-teacher conferences

Normal people: hey I just ran out of shampoo. I need some more

Teenagers: hey I ran out of shampoo like 5 months ago why haven't you gotten me more yet?
My 5yo saw a sign while we drove to school & said it meant no crashing into the floor.
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) October 1, 2023
It was a no U-turn sign.
I told my 3yo Elliot I saw a deer in our yard & he goes “I’ll tell the other Elliots” and I laughed, then later he explained he said that bc in an ep of Thomas a diesel train named Diesel said “ill tell the other diesels” which is smart but also how confusing must it be to be 3

My 3yo came home from school mad that one of the boys poked her in the eye. I asked if she talked to her teacher about it and she said yes, but the teacher didn’t have a chance to address it because then the boy fell out of his chair and broke both his arms. Unsure if lies.

I wrapped my toddler up in a blanket when I brought him down from bed this morning he’s now demanding to be carried like that everywhere
