I'm on a college schedule -- staying up, sleeping in -- which is awesome but I have kids who wake up early and destroy things.

My snooze button is just me telling the kids to go ahead and have marshmallows for breakfast.

Every time I play hide n seek I choose in my bed under the covers and hope it takes a proper sleep cycle for my 3 year old to find me

Asking your kids to wash your car is a good idea only if you specify that they must not open the door and stick a hose inside.

Children screaming bloody murder!!
— Kelcey Kintner (@mamabirddiaries) August 12, 2014
Me: My god, what's wrong?!!!!!
7 year old: Chase took a bite of my Airhead candy.
My kids are arguing over who is "more epic-er."

I vote for whoever learns to use the English language correctly first.
Gave my kids a history lesson today. Saw a pay phone - they took turns listening to the dial tone. Taught them how to call grandma collect.
— Kate Hall (@KateWhineHall) August 11, 2014
Me: We didn't even have cell phones or the internet when I was your age.

6yo: Did you have bikes?
Me....nope, we rode horses.
6yo: WOOOOW
Making my kids watch old-school episodes of Knight Rider and my daughter said, "So, it's pretty much just a car with Siri built in?"
— Stephanie McMaster (@Smethanie) August 18, 2014
Me: Oh yay! My kids are starting to play together, this is great.
Me two days later: CHRIST! Leave each other the hell alone!— lyz lenz (@lyzl) August 11, 2014

*manners sold separately
When my kid is gone, I'm like Pavlov's dog but instead of drooling I go straight to the bathroom to pee alone while I have the chance.

*wearing just my bra & panties*
— JuneBug (@jenyb4) August 14, 2014
4: Mama, you look fancy!
M: Really?
4: Wait, not fancy. I meant funny.
M: That makes more sense.
How do I feel about my son taking my bras out of the drawer and wearing them around the house? Mostly "better him than me."
— Amy Dillon (@amydillon) August 13, 2014
I just burst into tears because I got one leg stuck in my trousers. And that, Twitter, is how well I'm coping with being 8 mths pregnant.
— Dr Emma Kavanagh (@EmmaLK) August 11, 2014
Me: Finish your potatoes.
— James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn) August 11, 2014
4-year-old: But if I eat all my dinner, I won’t have room for candy.
She’s got the right priorities.
If I change my name to 'Service Technician', can I give the babysitter a 10 hour window for when I'll be back to get my kids?
— elizabeth williams (@Elizasoul80) August 12, 2014
Optimism: Grandma putting a brand-new white duvet on the bed for my kids.
— Kim Bongiorno (@LetMeStart) August 17, 2014
Realism: setting aside dry-cleaning cash for my MIL's new duvet.
Son peed his pants at 4am, daughter at 5, then my dog pissed on the floor at 6. Worst 3 things to happen in a row since the Jonas brothers.
— Tara Brown (@Faux_Ma) August 17, 2014
I'm one load away from completely empty laundry baskets, which, of course, means someone will wet the bed or puke tonight.
— Scary Mommy (@ScaryMommy) August 18, 2014
Beer tastes a lot better when you're a parent.
— Doyin Richards (@daddydoinwork) August 15, 2014
My favorite part of parenting is after I drop my kids off at school.
I'm kidding. It's after they go to bed.
