33 Parents Who Prove Raising Kids Is 100% Chaos 100% Of The Time
"Me, gently telling my kids that I ate the rest of the ice cream: 'Your dad ate the rest of the ice cream.'" —@mommajessiec
Before we all started going to therapy, we had the Scholastic book fair. And frankly, I think that was more effective.
Totally normal to be low key jealous of my kid who gets to experience his first book fair next week, right?

My son was following me around being annoying. I turned around and asked what he wanted. He leaned in, "we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty." No notes! Perfect performance.

Made one of those cute white board signs for my sons first day of preschool. Left the room and came back and he’d erased it and drawn “a big building that’s on fire” instead. pic.twitter.com/RYUAtwy0uU

As spooky season approaches, my very interested toddler has been asking "WHAT HIM NAME?" when we see a skeleton or other ghoulish figure on someone's lawn, and since "I don't know" is unacceptable to people who are almost 3, I have been spitballing names of people I don't like.

It’s a beautiful day for a walk in the forest! Except my 3yo brought some ham in her pockets and she dropped some of the ham in a muddy stream and I had to tackle her to stop her from retrieving and eating the muddy stream ham.

My toddler wanted to play a game with her baby doll. The idea was to get the baby to lie down and go to sleep. We’ve been playing for over an hour and the baby still won’t sleep. This game is a little too realistic for me.

My husband told me to lock my bedroom door so I could have a little break. 5 was very concerned that I might not know who was knocking and saying Mama every few minutes, so he slid this under the door. “It’s me, Mom. Your son.” pic.twitter.com/XJGp6PxXia

if having grown teens has taught me anything it's that you can be wrong for not helping them make better decisions and somehow at the same time also be wrong for always telling them what to do

Do you ever feel anxious for seemingly no reason & track your thoughts so you can pinpoint the thought that triggered the anxiety & then realize it’s because you were thinking about living on the house boat that Tom Hank’s lived on in Sleepless in Seattle but with a 2 year old?

I told 14 to put the towels from the washer to the dryer 4 hours ago. I asked an hour ago if he did and he said yes.
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) September 11, 2023
He never turned the dryer on. I guess that shit's on me for not specifying.

When my daughter was complaining that her sister and friends kept tagging her first even though they know she hates being “it”, apparently, “run faster,” wasn’t the response she was looking for. I know this now.
