Thrilled to announce that instead of saying “What are you doing?” my 2-year-old child goes around asking, in a tiny haunting voice, “What have you done?”

Me: it’s *you’re*
My 7yo didn’t want to eat at a particular restaurant because she didn’t want to eat outside. I told her we’d be eating inside the building. She then argued that buildings are technically outside.

She is now my attorney.
I choked on some water earlier and during my coughing fit, my 4yo asked me to be quiet so he could hear the tv. It’s safe to say I should start saving for a nursing home now.

My daughter told me that she won't be having kids because she feels like she'd end up with one like my son who is trying to lick his elbow right now

Watching a documentary on Ancient Egypt when my 5 y/o stops in front of the TV, drops her jaw and says, “THEY WROTE ON WALLS? You’re not supposed to write on walls!”

Working from home while your kids are home is like trying to read a book at a Metallica concert.

My 5yo and 6yo are playing restaurant. My 6yo's restaurant has a no baby policy. My 5yo has 5 babies and is very angry about this. She's causing a whole scene at the restaurant. The babies are crying, it's crazy. I'm trying my best not to get involved in this.

Me: That was great! Do you want to try gymnastics classes? Or dance? You get to wear fun costumes and do shows.
Her: No. I want to be a normal person and do nothing.
My toddler got a hold of the markers. I caught her red handed. Purple handed, too.

Taking a vacation with family is like having major surgery; I'm going to need at least 2-3 weeks of recovery.
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) August 4, 2022
My 6yo knows she'll get in trouble if she curses at her big brother so she's been making up insults instead. She just called him a "cuntstehpaw" and how am I supposed to do this with a straight face.
— Snarky Mommy (@SnarkyMommy78) August 1, 2022

Robber *breaks into my home: Give me all your money!
— Jacana Mommy (@jacanamommy) August 4, 2022
Me *laughing: Listen buddy you've got to do better, I have kids who ask me that all the time.
My kiddo came into my room, kissed my forehead and said “I’m sorry you’re fat.”

How’s your morning?
I’m in Target alone without my kids and I might as well be in Bora Bora.

Who wants to tell my kid just because she circles something in a catalog that doesn’t mean she gets it?
— Marissa 💚💛 (@michimama75) August 1, 2022
NOT IT.
I used to believe there were certain underlying truths in life, but my 11yo told me my Mac and Cheese tonight was “too cheesy” so now I’m questioning everything
