1. When you tell your kid to "go in the potty"...and they take you literally.
2. When you try to set realistic goals for your kiddo because, parenting.
3. And when you have real AF moments of self-reflection in the process.
4. When you tell your kid to put on his underwear and he totally mocks you.
5. When it wasn't the dog.
6. When you're constantly trying to come up with new incentives for your kid to "go."
7. And when you find the silver lining in a sticky situation.
8. When you begin day one of three-day potty training boot camp.
9. And when you reach day three.
10. When you buy your kids books that examine life's most philosophical questions.
11. And when you've never been so thankful for hip-hop music.
12. When someone says "girls are so easy to potty train," and you're forced to defriend them.
13. And when your kid is this damn determined to succeed.
14. When you write yourself a reality check and stick it on your toilet.
15. When you feel a total potty-training meltdown coming on and it's not your kid's.
16. THIS.
17. And the sense of pride you have when your kid finally has success.
