Me: Our kids are finally at an age where we can sleep in on week-
Youth sports: Let me stop you right there.

Just told my kids we aren’t leaving the house until they clean up their messes, so I guess we’re hermits now.

Think you’re a “no regrets” person? Go buy your kid a 100 pack of Glo-Sticks.

There’s nothing like waking up before sunrise. It makes me feel a step ahead, much more productive, and whatever other lies I can come up with when my baby wakes up so **** early.

Me: It’s an old phone
5yo: Like an old IPhone?
Me: No, like the kind that has push buttons & is attached to the wall with a cord
5: *long pause* Why would you stand and talk at the wall when you can just go yell out the window
Me: Good talk, son

If you’ve never effectively broken up a fight between your kids by shouting while you’re in the bathroom or taking a shower, are you even a parent.

I like when my four year old pretends to be a ninja, because it basically looks like he’s being attacked by bees.

I just threatened to ground my 5yo from “all the popsicles in the freezer” so yep, our summer plans are right on track.

I won’t let my kids turn on the stove, but swinging a flaming hot fire-stick sparkler over their head on the Fourth of July, that’s fine.

Just found a cheese stick behind the couch. It’s been at least 2 months since I bought string cheese.
On that note, we’re selling “hand-tossed artisan cheese, aged on premises” for those that like the finer things in life.

I’m either winning or losing, depending on how you look at it.

Letting my kid watch Jurassic Park for the first time.
Me: This came out in 1993. This came out when *I* was *your* age.
Kid: Oh, like when the dinosaurs were really still around?

As a parent, you don’t typically know you’ve made the right decisions until much later. However, I recently found out that not putting a TV in my kids’ bedrooms is the main reason I don’t end up hosting more sleepovers.

Overhead my 6yo whisper to his cousin, “We defeat our enemies by making them fall in love with us…. and then we stab them!!!”
