— SpacedMom (@copymama) June 24, 2019

Me: like a CD
Son: what's a CD?
Me: i swear to God
My eight year old has started talking back and then saying (outloud) “hashtag roasted” and dabbing. Not one of the parenting books prepared me for this.

Sure, buddy. Sure.
After my kids fall asleep I peek into their rooms and think, “Why do these precious little people act like such assholes?”

My son announces he is going to empty the dishwasher with the same tone and tenor as if he is off to war.

Day 2 of summer break: I can feel the aging process occurring in my body.
— Bunmi Laditan (@HonestToddler) June 26, 2019
As I buried my child in the sand at the beach, I realized I have matured so much as a parent but not enough to not give them sand-boobs.
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) June 24, 2019
7-year-old: How do you get money when you don't have any more teeth for the tooth fairy?
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) June 24, 2019

Right Wife: %## $&”” %*#!
Child: You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime pic.twitter.com/RSA7kpYUvD
A fun thing about having teens home during summer break is that they only require 2 meals a day because they don’t wake up until lunch.
— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) June 24, 2019
The only thing worse than paying $9 for a greeting card is paying $9 for a greeting card for a 3-year-old’s birthday party.

My daughter made up a song.
— Sara Says Stop (@PetrickSara) June 25, 2019
The refrain she is “people should give me more toys.”
I’m starting to think that I’m the “people” she’s singing about.
Me, tucking in 3 year-old: I love you to the moon and back.
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) June 26, 2019
3: That's infinity, right?
Me: Actually, when I said that last night-

5yo: yeah, that’s fun
me: it is pretty fun

— Stay at Homies (@stayathomies) June 27, 2019
Me: "Put it back. Those are for the kids."
As I watch my husband drive off from the window, I open a fruit roll-up, eat it, and relish in my victory.
Co-parenting?
