Child [coming out of bedroom]: Do you think Lightning McQueen has car insurance or life insurance?
Me [rubbing temples]: it is way too early for this
It’s amazing humans can learn something new everyday. For example, every Tuesday my husband learns our son has soccer practice at 6.

I'm no parenting expert, but I know that when you buy your child a kit that says "make your own," it's not your child who will be making their own. It's you.

There is a child.

New parent: So you have been a parent for 4 years. Any insight?
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) January 15, 2020
Me: It's great. Sometimes you want to escape by faking your own death. But I'm sure it's just a phase.
New parent: Oh, ok. How long does that last?
Me: So far? 4 years.
It’s funny how much energy my children have until I tell them it’s time to take a bath.

Wife: want to have sex?
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) January 15, 2020
Me: oh hell yeah.
Toddler: *eye’s snapping open from a dead sleep* not on my watch.
If I ever get kidnapped and taken to an undisclosed location, I'm sure my five year old will find me whenever they let me use the bathroom.

Therapist: and what do we do when we feel like this
— MumInBits (@MumInBits) January 14, 2020
Me: meditate
T: good and what do we observe when we meditate
Me: one child karate kicking my stomach, one child singing baby shark in my ear and one child coughing into my in-breath
T: *pours me glass of wine*
My daughter thinks if she calls them joggers instead of sweatpants it makes them worth $75.

My 8yo woke up this morning and said “Artichokes are rude!”, and honestly he is probably right.

The Tooth Fairy brought my son $10 in Kohl's cash. He has to use it before Friday. Hope he can find a ride.

— Stephanie Ortiz (@Six_Pack_Mom) January 12, 2020
Me: “It’s where a pay phone used to be. You’d put a quarter into the phone & make a call from there.”

ASLEEP: Omg my heart is going to explode, look how precious they are
You finally get a job you’ve been wanting forever and everyone you know who’s had it raves about it and so you’re really psyched to get the job and then it turns out to be all consuming and spirit crushing and you wonder why no one warned you it was THIS hard?! That’s parenting.
