If anyone is on the fence about having kids, I just had to break up an argument about “HE’S BREATHING TOO CLOSE TO ME!”

My 7yo threw a Mother's Day card in my face while I was sleeping, and yelled "happy Mother's Day!" If that doesn't say motherhood I don't know what does. It was a shitty card too, but I loved it.

Having kids a few years apart means you sing “The Wheels On The Bus” for the babies but then add a few lines about The Hulk smashing everything all through the town for the four-year-old.

Kid: Hey, that’s how old I am!
Me: Weird...
Before I had children of my own, I always wondered how a parent could just ignore their kid when they're trying to talk to them.
— Momzilla (@milliondollrfam) May 15, 2019
Just want to say that I get it now.
Having a 3yr old around is a bit like having the director's commentary turned on for the movie that is your life.
— Jack's Dad (@DaddingAround) May 13, 2019
Except the director thinks you're a shitty actor and likes pointing that out.#parenting #dadlife

Me: Take your phone & text me every 20 minutes to tell me you’re ok
Me when I was 10: I’m off to the abandoned quarry with my pals
Mum: Dinner’s at 5
“I guess Mother’s Day is over!!” I bellow. But no one can hear me over the sound of me vacuuming and also because they’ve all gone to bed.
— Marissa (@natsmama75) May 13, 2019

Husband: “What time are you coming back?”

Being a parent is cool because you get to yell at your kids for doing the same shit you did as a kid.
