I just realized that naming your kid Victor is more or less the same as naming them Winner

I asked my daughter if she knew why her soccer team was wearing pink jerseys this month and my son interrupted and said "for boobie cancer" and I'm a very proud mom

My favorite part of getting a child ready for school is when she says, "Oh yeah, it's Spirit Week and I need to dress like a tree today."

Reasons your toddler will wake up in the night:

Nightmare
Sick
Dropped stuffed animal
He realized he fell asleep and rage-woke himself up
No really, fu*k you mom, sleep is for the weak

I tell my toddler to "ask nicely" and instead of saying please he whispers his demands and I'm not even sure that he's wrong

Yesterday I asked 3 how pre school was and she told me she didn’t like Karina because Karina cries really loudly so I said maybe Karina’s sad and 3 should be kind to her but at pick up today I heard Karina crying really loudly and now I don’t like her either

What level of Stockholm Syndrome is it when your kid is like “I’m building a Lego home for raccoons” and you’re like “ok” and he’s like “it’ll have robot security” and you’re like “ok” and then he asks if you’d like to hear more and you actually say “yes”?

My 5yo not wanting to brush her hair because her “hair is tired” is on another level of excuse that I think we can all learn from.

My dad has been doing a huge amount of childcare for us in quarantine so I’m delighted to announce my 1-year old baby gestures and shrugs like a 64-year old Jewish man.

no one:

12yo: ahhh do you realize that this Christmas we'll get to buy presents FOR OUR DOG

Parenting is tricky like what do you do when your 4yo greets your 11yo with “hi ugly pen*s” which makes everyone laugh but then she starts saying other things about him are ugly so you tell her it’s not funny anymore and she gets upset cause you laughed the first time.

Me: Did you brush your teeth?

4-year-old: Yes.

Me: All of them?

The speed at which our baby goes from smiling to scream crying is something I actually really relate to in 2020.

Ok so I’m jealous that teachers have the power to mute my kids

Let’s get married & have kids so instead of trying a pumpkin beer you can stop the crying while I go back into the corn maze to find the shoe.

The parenting books didn’t warn me that one day my 4 year old would ask me for, and I quote “a popsicle, but not a cold one”.
