My autocorrect just changed daughter to disaster and I’ve never been more paranoid that my smart phone could read my mind.

I've convinced my kids that they can hypnotize me to fall asleep when I'm chasing them and it's their new favorite game. I'll literally lay down for a 10-minute nap in the hallway and they won't bug me because it "breaks their spell." It's my greatest win as a parent thus far.

I’d really like to speak to whoever in the baby world who all got together and decided to make this horrible shade of chartreuse a neutral.

You can’t make me cry; you’re not my daughter’s 2nd grade math homework.

As a mother my favorite pastime is having my performance critiqued by people who depend on me for their survival

I know there are parents out there who are struggling right now, but don’t worry - your toddler will be able to put their stupid gloves on all by themselves one day

My son gagging on the air trying to do a distance learning PE class workout next to the room where his sister is having her diaper changed is the funniest thing I’ll see all week. 😂

Overheard my 7 year old daughter say, “That doesn’t go there” to my husband while loading the dishwasher and I’ve never been more proud.

My daughter just said “if I could talk to animals I would have so many questions” and I know this to be true because that’s literally all she does

Parenting is a lot of shouting things like: IF YOU GET YOURSELF STUCK IN A BOX, YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE UNTIL I GET A PICTURE!

My 4yo refused to let me try a bite of his hamburger and when I asked why he looks me dead in the eyes and without a trace of irony says “coronavirus”
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) January 27, 2021
I’m not saying that asking your kids to clean will always make things worse, but I asked my 4yo to clean his muddy shoes and found him standing naked in a full bathtub polishing them with his toothbrush

Kid: Would you rather be invisible or be able to fly?
— ThisOneSays (@ThisOneSayz) January 26, 2021
Me: Be invisible.
Kid: To fight bad guys, right?
Me, imagining breaking into a cheese shop and eating all the cheese: Totally.
Little kids love pestering you incessantly for an hour straight to “look at this” only to end up showing you a Barbie doll doing a cartwheel.

My 6yo: Your doctor should never say you’re going to die. They should say you’re “a goner” or “doomed”

I hope she goes into medicine
My daughters favorite new phrase is "ok girl, I see you" and I'm just wondering how she can see all these girls, but the piles of clothes on her floor are invisible.
