My friend told me her 2yo was loudly singing Baby Shark at the park and she jokingly said to another mom there “hope you like Baby Shark” and the mom said “we don’t listen to children music” if you’re wondering what it’s like trying to make mom friends in public.

My daughter made a new best friend, Mike, at summer camp. My best friend's name is also Mike. Last night I told my wife I was meeting Mike out for a beer and my daughter exclaimed, "MY FRIEND MIKE?!?" Yes, I'm having drinks with a preschooler, then we're getting matching tattoos.

What I said: Please bring your laundry downstairs.
— KJ (@IDontSpeakWhine) July 5, 2022
What my son heard: Please drop your laundry from the second floor down into the foyer as I stand at the front door talking to our neighbor so a dirty balled up sock can bounce off my head and into her face.
90% of being a parent to young children is wondering if there's a leak in the house or did the kids just wash their hands

If you think Lord of the Flies couldn't happen, you've clearly never seen a group of 7 year olds go after a piñata.

A dad’s job is not simply to just know the weather but to KNOW the weather. Heat index, humidity, air quality, everything.

Kids often make sketchy claims that can be easily laughed off but once in awhile you find yourself doing things like checking to see whether “confuzzled” is actually a word.

Being a parent makes me feel like @GuyFieri, not because I cook my kids great food but because I'm always saying "shut the front door."#parenting

it's safer for me to stick my arm in a beehive than try to talk to my 9yo when he first wakes up in the morning.
