Having three kids taught me that I'm capable of so much more than I ever thought. For example, I can ignore all three kids at once.

If you’re not belting out It Must Have Been Love with your teenage daughter to help get a boy out of her system, then you’re not me.

Sad and confused that I shouted at my children to be quiet, because they kept interrupting my wife, who was shouting at me

My 6 year old thinks pepper is spicy, and I mean I don’t wanna point any fingers but I will because his Dad is White and I’m somehow distantly related to Beyoncé so we all know whose genes are to blame here.

I had to cough but my kids were sleeping so I literally just choked on my own saliva because apparently I choose dying over accidentally waking them up.

I just yelled, “1, 2, 3 mommy is lava!” and my kids ran away, leaving me to drink my coffee in peace. I’m pretty sure I’ve peaked for the day.

I’ve gone from denial, to anger, to bargaining, and finally to accepting that my kids no longer have screen time limits.

My 4yo thinks it’s fun to bring up special moments completely out of the blue. So all of a sudden I’ll hear, “mommy, remember when you forgot to water the plant and it died?” or “remember when daddy dropped the burgers on the floor?” Feels like we’re living with a tiny heckler.

See, it’s easy if the watch says 8:15 you just say eight fifteen.

My 2.5 has learned several new phrases like "be quiet", "stop talking", "that's dumb", "don't touch me", and my personal favorite, "shhh, your singing hurts me"

My 9yo just yelled “bar fight” and punched his older brother. This is my legacy.
