Walk of shame then: Walking home the next morning in the outfit you went out in the night before.

Walk of shame now: Walking your kid into the school because you were too late for drop-off.
Took my son to the zoo yesterday for the first time ever and I realized I hadn’t explained what a hippo was and he just kept asking to go back and see the tooth pig

Me After Kids: Is there a way to strap this iPad directly to his face?
6-year-old: *gets dressed, brushes her teeth, and puts her shoes on by herself*

Me: Wow. We're actually going to make it out the door on time today.
6: *takes her shoes off*

Sometimes I think I’m going to miss some of these days of parenthood & then I go wake my son up for school & he acts like a wild animal & I think, “nah, I’m good.”

Is this boring you?

Found: clothes that should’ve been in the laundry, a takeout menu, 14 books, her diary, two jackets, a business card, and a walkie talkie.
I’m pitching Tiny Hoarders to TLC next week.
I played hide-n-seek with my daughters, but they never came to look for me. I gave up when my legs fell asleep from kneeling in a corner.

"I FOUND YOU DADDY!"
No you didn't, I quit.
I told 2 to finish her sandwich if she wanted candy after dinner. When it was gone I gave her a sliced apple.
— 5KidsAndABunny (@5KidsandaBunny) August 28, 2018
I asked if she was all done, thinking she forgot.
She replied "candy."
When the candy was finished I picked her up to find the sandwich, untouched, under her butt.
Forgot to post a picture to social media of my kids on their first day of school. Do they have to repeat the year now, or what happens?
— Unfiltered Mama (@UnfilteredMama) August 28, 2018
I like to let my kid eat at his own pace, but this morning he spent 10 minutes just holding a muffin like he was the Statute of Liberty.
— dadpression (@Dadpression) August 27, 2018
Teachers, when my kids go back to school with t-shirts that read “Mom Says I’m Your Problem Now,” just know I wasn’t a horrible person until I became a parent.
— Ms. Havisham (@MissHavisham) August 29, 2018
It’s really hard to explain to a 5 year old why there aren’t any actual strawberries as advertised on the cereal box without feeling like you’re in on the conspiracy.
— Nonchalant Charlotte (@jellybnbonanza) August 30, 2018
7: (silently sneaks up behind me and taps me on the shoulder)
— Sara Says Stop (@PetrickSara) August 30, 2018
Me: Yes?
7: (whispers into my ear) Do not trust Siri. She doesn’t have eyes. (Walks away)
