Didn't realize how much motherhood had changed me until I army crawled in & out of my sleeping baby's room to get my 1/2 cup of cold coffee.

I am scheduling a shower that won't be interrupted by children. I penciled it in around 1:45am.

Parenting is telling your kids to go upstairs and change their clothes, but instead they wrestle for 15 minutes and come down naked.

Me: What are you painting?
— The ParentNormal (@ParentNormal) March 15, 2016
3yo: A rainbow.
Me: No, I mean look at what you’re painting!
3yo: The couch? I'm making it pretty!
Somewhere in the world right now there's a mother screaming at her kids to pick up their toys...oh wait, that's me....

My older kids have started correcting the cute way their little brother talks so unfortunately they'll be moving out.

Think you're smart? Try explaining daylight savings time to a kid.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) March 16, 2016
My house looks like a scene from a RomCom with clothes all over the stairs to the bedroom-only it's the kids' clothes heading up to the tub.
— Domestic Goddess (@DomesticGoddss) March 17, 2016
I didn't know how good my sons were at lying until they told their uncle they "liked school" with a straight face.
— Father With Twins (@FatherWithTwins) March 17, 2016
In case you were wondering, 4th grade is apparently the age at which boys begin saying both "yo mama" and "deez nuts." Good times.

mom: "you guys don't get to pick the TV channel... dad and I will pick"
— dadmissions (@Dadmissions) March 13, 2016
dad whisper: "that means mom will pick"
We plan to be kind patient moms who accept our kids exactly as they are then we see them take 45 mins to eat a goddamn bowl of Lucky Charms.
— Kim Bongiorno (@LetMeStart) March 18, 2016
Apparently I'm the next contestant on "Are you smart enough to do your daughter's grade 7 homework?"
— Cathryn (@AngryRaccoon2) March 18, 2016
The answer is NO.
Me: Where did the candy go?
— Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) March 16, 2016
3-year-old: The dog told me to eat some of it.
Me: Half of that isn't true.
3: He told me to eat all of it.
5yo: Just one more question before I go to bed.
— Paige Kellerman (@PaigeKellerman) March 15, 2016
Me: What?
5yo: What are the lines on your forehead for?
Me:...
5yo: Now they look angry.
