9. You try not to appear too proud when your kid has a great comeback.
10. Sometimes you get the urge to cyber bully the elementary school cyber bully.
11. You feel like your ONE JOB is to teach your kid not to send nudes.
12. Your kid wants to know why they have the oldest phone in the house.
13. Once you went to Target and they were out of apple sauce pouches so you bought the jar but never opened it because....what?
14. Everyone in your family is over-scheduled.
