My favorite morning routine is to get the kids on the bus, sip some hot coffee, & notice all the stuff they forgot to put in their backpacks

Apparently my 4yo doesn’t “believe in underwear anymore.” Which chapter covers this in my parenting handbook?

Daddy?

Yeah, Bud
Can you scour the house looking EVERYWHERE for something I'm poorly describing that you've never seen or heard of before?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from having kids it’s wait hold that thought somebody’s throwing up.

What level of hell is this?
Before you sign your kid up for sports, you should know that I sat outside in a cold rain to watch my son play soccer 3 times this weekend.

My kid lost a tooth and the Tooth Fairy doesn’t have anything less than a $20 bill.

This is not the motherhood I envisioned.
My daughter wants to play “guess this song” with her recorder. I am going to need every drop of whiskey in this house.

My kid's a genius because she knew what a piece of broccoli was even though we've never had any in our house.

8yo: *Begins the single most complicated crafting project of her lifetime thus far*
It’s 5:50am, & I just chased my 4y.o. to grab the tampon “torpedos” he was playing with, in case you wondered how fun pre-dawn parenting is.

Grocery List
— The ParentNormal (@ParentNormal) October 15, 2017
1.) Free cookie from bakery
2.) Broken jar pushed off shelf
3.) Snack to calm toddler
4.) Stop toddler from undressing
5.) Milk
Have kids so you can fight with someone who'd rather freeze to death than pull a sweatshirt over their head.

*kids walking
— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) October 17, 2017
Me: Come on, boys! We have to hurry!
Kids: Okay!
*continue walking at exactly the same pace
Y'all don't even know the level of patience required for me to allow my 3y.o. to get the small cart at the grocery store.

1-year-old: Cheese
— James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn) October 19, 2017
Me: *gives her a cheese slice*
1: Cheese!
Me: *gives cheese stick*
1: CHEESE!
Me: Oh. *pretends to take her picture*
Took my daughter to get two blazers and dress shoes for speech team competitions. I think I'm a sports parent now and I intend to get rowdy.

Parenting.
There needs to be a Robin Hood like person, who steals energy from kids and gives it to their parents.

Other mom: My 1-year-old knows how to baby sign.
— 👻SpookyPlaylist (@MotherPlaylist) October 18, 2017
Me: Oh wow, cool. Mine shrieks louder than a pack of monkeys.
From now on when my kids complain that a YouTube vid is taking to long to load I'm going to make them rewind whole videos in an actual VCR.

Parent Tip: children get upset when they don’t get their way, but remember: cookies will help. And if you want you can give the kid one too.
