Hell hath no fury like a 6yo who had to turn his YouTube video off because it was time to eat.

Not saying I deserve a gold medal in parenting, but it's 4:47 PM and my 4yo just yelled "FINE THEN, I'M GOING TO BED!" So you be the judge.

When I want my kids to eat something the best chance I have is to put it on MY plate, where apparently food becomes immediately appetizing.

Parenting is basically asking whether people are wearing clean underwear, and wondering why the electric bill's so high.

I've only had two kids for seven months & I already call them by each other's names. It's fine, until 18 they're basically interchangeable.

Some days I'm just thankful my kids' lunch boxes are washable.
Me to my son: You remind me of me.

Practicing for the first day of school by muttering "we're late," throwing cereal on the floor & making sure every outfit is the wrong one.

I don't wanna say my 4yo is unfocused but this am instead of brushing his teeth he took off his underpants & slingshot them into the toilet.

"My hair's not messy. It's on an adventure."

- My 9-year-old daughter, officially kicking off her career as my spiritual advisor.
Not sure if I should be more concerned about the son who locked me out of my bedroom today, or the one who showed me how to pick the lock.
