I gave my last piece of bacon to my son. He dropped it, and my dog ate it.

I'm not sure what my kids did in this room, but based on the debris pattern I'd say they ritually sacrificed a chocolate doughnut.

Sometimes I feel completely alone in this world.

Other times, I can't stop to pee without a toddler coming in, and trying to brush my teeth.
Most of being a good parent is just trying to be an average parent despite being incredibly tired.

I've been married to my husband for a decade & never heard him order straight whiskey at dinner until our road trip with 3 kids.

"Just once," she thought dejectedly, "I'd like to enjoy a shower where I'm not gazing at an old, moldy-looking bath toy."

The last thing you want to hear from your 3-year-old when she's alone in the bathroom is "uh-oh."

DON'T EAT STICKS!

DID YOU PEE ON MY SHOE?
Hold still, I think that's a tick

Wherever you are, wherever you go, remember, a baby is plotting to grab the sunglasses off your face.

No parent's afraid of Pennywise the clown cuz we've been hardened by years of creepy kids silently standing at the end of our bed at 3am.

My 6yo got herself dressed then walked around the house making us all sign a paper agreeing that her outfit looked good.
— Wendy S. (@maughammom) April 7, 2017
My 5yo was told "no" by my partner. She came to me smiling & whispered "dad, want to pretend to be the boss of the house for a few minutes?"
— Mike Reynolds (@EverydayGirlDad) April 3, 2017
1st child: you encourage creativity
— Molly England (@bluebonetbabies) April 2, 2017
2nd child: you encourage independent play
3rd child: you stifle all imagination to avoid a mess.
Took me 5 seconds to forget the name my kid just gave his stuffed animal.
— Andy Herald (@AndyHerald) April 6, 2017
Which is impressive because he told it to me like 7 or 18 times.
Love it when the kids pick up 90s slang from me. My 5-year-old just told the baby to “chillax.”
— Unremarkable Files (@ThatEvansLady) April 4, 2017
Just took out a small loan to outfit my kid for little league.
