7: Mommy, if there are elves that wrap the presents, and that's their ONLY job, why aren't they better at it? Our elves are so bad at wrapping!

Me: *mumbling* Maybe they're tired from all the other bullsh-
Husband: BECAUSE THEIR HANDS ARE SO SMALL! MAKES IT HARDER!
7: Okay!
4 said she didn’t want to eat her broccoli and I said I didn’t want her to wake me up every night for the last 4 years but here we are

we don’t have a dog.
My 6yo left a donut on her dresser when she went to bed, 'just in case she needs it.' And I’ve never felt closer to her.

Stop giving new moms diaper cakes and onesies

Give those mamas what they need to survive. Extra strength painkillers, dry shampoo, borderline illegal strength coffee and ear plugs
Slap a bow on it you’re feeling fancy
“I’ve got a tiger in my tummy,” my 3-year-old’s way of explaining that his tummy hurts is my new way.

13 informed 10 today that dong means penis. So now he sings "ding penis" when "ding dong" is in Christmas music. Then, he laughs like he is the funniest person in the world.

My animal-obsessed son has decided that he's nocturnal. He still sleeps at night but insists that he can see in the dark & won't let us turn on the lights for him. The highlight of my evening is him tripping over toys and bumping into walls while acting like he meant to do it.

My 7yo uses an online reading app and she made her username “Poop,” so I keep getting emails with this subject line but I guess I should be glad Poop is reading. pic.twitter.com/aQ0LO2xiCW

Husband and I couldn't keep a plant alive so we moved straight to raising kids.

“You better have those Christmas lights up this weekend, dad. Do it now while it’s still warm or you’ll never do it. “
It’s like I never moved out.
I never realized how annoying I can be, until I spent the entire day with my kid who acts exactly like me!

Me: don’t tell mom where we hid her birthday presents.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) December 13, 2020
3yo: I won’t.
Wife: hey guys.
3yo: mom your birthday presents are definitely not under my bed.
I'm a good mom, but not a "not gonna chuckle to myself when you get hurt doing something I told you not to do" good mom.

Drove our kids around town to look at Christmas lights but they brought an iPad so they could watch a different kid drive around his town looking at lights.

4, jumping into my arms: mommy I’m never ever going to leave you
— 🎄♥️ Marissa 💚🎄 (@michimama75) December 14, 2020
Me, heart bursting: oh my precious girl!
4: can I have some chocolate?
Annnnnnd there it is.
Her: Kids! The moving van is here. Bring the boxes
— Son of Dad (@ThugRaccoons) December 14, 2020
Me: All vans are moving vans LOL
Her: And this is why we’re leaving
Sometimes I like to live dangerously by asking my kids what they’d like for Christmas after they’ve written their letters to Santa and we’ve bought all the presents
