— Princess (@themultiplemom) January 1, 2024
Had a talk with the kids at dinner about New Year’s resolutions but I guess the 6yo doesn’t quite grasp the concept because she went around the table and told each of us what SHE thinks WE should do better and…..you guys I think she might be onto something.

My little girl admitted last week that there was a little toy she asked Santa for in secret that he didn't bring, and she was a little sad about it. But we were taking the tree down today and there it was! Santa must've just accidentally left it round the back. He's some man!

kids these days will never experience the pain of when it's the night and time your show finally comes on and you've waited all week. you sit down and it begins only to realize it's not new and it's a re-run instead. now you had to wait ANOTHER week.

What’s it like having teenage boys?
— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) January 4, 2024
They pour a huge bowl of cereal, while you’re making dinner, without breaking eye contact.
My daughter called me the other day and after a little while just said “well I’m out of things to talk to you about” and hung up

Cooking for kids is like owning a restaurant except the patrons won’t leave the kitchen, constantly complain you’re taking too long and ask you to watch them do jump-kicks every 12 seconds.
