1.Your tween would literally never wake up if it weren't for you.
2.You've been known to lose it when it's already past bedtime and you hear your spouse say "OK, but only ten more minutes."
3.When your fifth grader is refusing to shower, you're the only one willing to take action.
4.You try to keep your cool when your kid forgets to tell you about a school project until the night before it's due, but C'MON.
5.You're probably the one to snap when your six-year-old can't choose between two pairs of socks in the morning.
6.When your tween is becoming fast friends with the kid who is trying to single-handedly revive backwards jeans and your partner starts reminiscing about Kris Kross, it's up to you tell it like it is.
7.On occasion you might even have to turn your bad-cop glare on your co-parent.
8.And it's always you who has to re-explain to your kid that stuffing everything into the closets does not equal cleaning their room.

10.Sometimes, you ask your kid to finish their chores and you find them having a lip sync battle with your partner instead.
11.You're the one who always has to enforce "family day" no matter how bad your kids want to hang with their friends instead.
12.And of course, when you say "no" the first thing your kid does is ask their other parent.
13.Sometimes, you just don't want to be the bad guy.
14.Even Grandma and Grandpa suggest things like ice cream at 9pm on a school night, forcing you to pull out your badge.
15.But at the end of the day, you do it because you love them.
