My toddler just got a hold of a tub of butter, rubbed it all over her legs, and said “lotion you can eat” and I feel like she may be onto something.

- What do you think of the dinner I made?
- Do you mind repeating that?
- Seen any cool bugs lately?
- Will you come watch me poop?
- Want to push the elevator button?
I just found out that the hockey team my son’s friends are joining next year costs $3,000 per kid and I never thought I’d say this but I’m going to start encouraging the recorder.

Things go down fast when you have kids. One second everything is fine kids are calm eating lunch, then you blink and there's milk everywhere someone got stabbed with a fork everyone is screaming and you're in the corner crying.

Get married and have kids so instead of spending Sunday morning sleeping in you can get up too early and repeatedly reheat your coffee while panicking that the neighbors heard you threaten to murder your children if they can’t find a way to share the Magna-tiles.

What my kids heard: Start looking for a toy that was lost 5 years ago.
If you’ve never had an adorable little human follow you into the bathroom and say “good job” after you wipe yourself, you wanna borrow mine?
— Snarky Mommy (@SnarkyMommy78) April 10, 2019
Sure kids cost roughly $14,000 annually, but think about all the money you’ll save from not having a social life.
— Mommy Owl (@Lhlodder) April 9, 2019
Kids mispronouncing things is super adorable but at some point I will have to tell my daughter we don’t put Farmer John cheese on spaghetti.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) April 8, 2019
My preschooler just complained about a 4K video buffering if you were wondering how the current batch of generation z is coming along.
— mark (@TheCatWhisprer) April 6, 2019
Nothing prepares you for when your kid wants to show you how loose their tooth is.
— Ramblin Mama (@ramblinma) April 10, 2019
First born: Maintained and loved in a warm, protective, and impenetrable bubble.
— Richard Dean (@dad_on_my_feet) April 10, 2019
Last born: Treats toilet as his own personal splash park, and I’m like “Whatevs, it’s a bath night.”
You have not seen moody until you've picked up a pre-teen from a sleepover where he ate nothing but candy and only slept 2 hours.
— Ijeoma Oluo (@IjeomaOluo) April 7, 2019
Susan Lucci has nothing on this kid today.
When it's your toddler's bedtime and he starts singing all the songs in his repertoire after lights out.
— Manic Mama (@JannaKilimnik) April 10, 2019
It would appear his lyrical knowledge is endless. I'm both impressed and horrified.
FML.
Oh, you lost, your tooth? With only five minutes before bedtime? The tooth fairy must be thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. I’m sure she didn’t have anything else to do tonight. This is just so, so great.
