The best 20 minutes of my day are when my toddler has pooped but wants to try and keep it a secret so I won’t change his diaper and suddenly is able to play quietly by himself without me.

Same, little buddy. Same.
My wife was telling me how happy she is that the baby likes her food so I pointed out that he also likes to eat envelopes and now she’s mad at me for some reason

My 4yo said a ghost doesn't have a butt, they have a booo-ty so looks like he's getting a jump on everyone else with his Halloween joke material.

I took a picture of a kid's chest x-ray to show the family (he had pneumonia). I showed the kid and he gasped. Then in an awestruck voice he said, "I have a skeleton."

what ages does the sticky crusty food particles all over the fridge door handles stop? because it's not 13, 9 and 7.

Told my toddler she can't say fuck anymore so now she says "what the cocomelon" and honestly that should catch on

Grew up listening to Indian mythology. Stories full of demons, death and destruction, and here I’m protecting my 7YO from Peppa Pig

I excitedly told my kids they were getting cold leftover pizza in their lunchboxes and the look of disgust on their faces told me I had failed at parenting somewhere along the way
— That Mom Tho (@mom_tho) September 26, 2022
My kid said her friend’s mom is having surgery because ‘her boobs are too big for her back’ so I will now only be accepting kid explanations for medical procedures.

Now that my baby knows how to say "No," it's over for you bitches*

*It's me. I'm "you bitches"
Kids be like, We interrupt your sleep to bring you this important message: “My blanket fell off.”

My teen just let me know he’s never speaking to me again. Strangely enough though, a blocked number keeps texting to ask what’s for dinner

Being a parent is wild because sometimes your kid has an insane idea like "let's move to Australia and rescue Koalas" and you'll be like "YES!"
