Woke up this morning to my 4 year old cracking eggs. On the floor. Note to self: show him where the mixing bowls and flour are kept.

Parenting is equal parts sweeping up messes and comforting that one kid who keeps running into the corner of the table.

If archeologists from the future discovered my bathtub, they'd think it was a shrine for hair ties and used bandaids.

My 3yo just told me that she doesn't love me "all the minutes."
— SnuggleMummy (@NinsMum) May 21, 2014
Which is an obscenely profound statement from someone who eats crayons.
In the X-men there's a mutant who can produce spikes all over his upper body. I'd rather give birth to him than take my kids to a theme park

There should be a theme park called "Parentland" where just parents can go. The rides would be couches where parents can just sit in peace.

Asking a toddler to clean their room is like asking a hipster to mow the lawn.

If you're going to have a baby shower/barbecue please don't call it a babycue. That's not cute. It's scary.

Daycare lady:ᅡᅠYour 2-year-old head-butted another kid over a snack.
— James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn) May 19, 2014
Me: What snack?
Her: Cheez-Its.
I fail to see the problem.
You forget your kid at school ONE time and suddenly everyone feels the need to remind you about 1/2 days. Geez.
— BadParentingMoments (@BPMbadassmama) May 21, 2014
I agreed without actually listening to my 3 year old's question so now I'm taking her for a piggy-back ride to Dora's house.

My 4yo's life philosophy:
Fuck an inside voice.
— Wine-O-Mite (@Jen_Up_) May 25, 2014
6 yo has been under the impression that the Star-Spangled Banner asks if you can see "by the elderly light." Glad we got that cleared up.

My daughter just said the five words every parent dreads: "Mommy, I Googled your name."
— Stephanie McMaster (@Smethanie) May 19, 2014
My husband: "Kids, guess what mom's favorite book is."
— Kelley (@KelleysBreakRm) May 23, 2014
Them: "Uhhhh..."
My husband: "Facebook."
(He thinks he's so funny.)
"I want you to look at me! I want you to ALWAYS look at me." --My three-year-old explains the popularity of social media.

Mommy, you're so beautiful. Except your boogers. They're gross. But everything else about you is beautiful. Asher, 6

Apparently toddler didn't ask about me once while I was gone. He did, however, ask for "Mummy's phone". Just so I know where I stand...

Good news: My son can now buckle himself into the car seat.
— The Cisco Kid (@TheCiscoKidder) May 23, 2014
Bad News: It takes 10 minutes for my son to buckle himself into the car seat.
2 weeks later and I swear my heel still hurts from stepping on a Lego!!
— Niri (@mommyniri) May 20, 2014
Things you never think you will say until you have kids: "You are NOT eating dinner naked."
— WhatWouldGwynethDo (@WWGwynethDo) May 22, 2014
My 8yo just came in at 10:45pm and whispered, "I have to poop," stared at me for 5 seconds, then went into the bathroom. This is parenting.
