The microwave for my son's dorm room was just delivered so I'm making sure it works by microwaving a fish in it on high for 20 minutes.

I'm not saying my kids come to me for everything but if I was on fire & my husband was 10 feet away, they'd still ask me for a snack.

As a new mom: My son is 22 months and 3 weeks and 2 days and 7 hours old!
— Arianna Bradford (@thearibradford) August 2, 2021
Now: How old is he? Um…*stops kid as he’s walking by*…hey, how old are you now?
Him: I’m turning 7, Mom
Me: Ok, yeah you heard him he’s 7
Trying not to be a friend matchmaker for my son since the move, but must say that the kid who followed up the “orcas made out of bakeable clay” workshop by approaching staff and telling them orcas aren’t actually whales, they’re part of the dolphin family, is a strong contender

Every single parent in the history of kid’s birthday parties who was offered a slice of pizza and declined really wanted that pizza.

My children’s excitement about going to a destination and subsequent assessment of said destination is based almost entirely on what snacks are available to them while they’re there.

— Henpecked Hal (@HenpeckedHal) August 4, 2021
My child just pulled a butterscotch sucking candy out of my purse. I have no clue where it came from. Dear god….have I reached the age where they just start appearing?!?
— DonutHawk (@StruggleDisplay) August 3, 2021
My favorite hobby is asking my sons to lower their voices, seeing them nod in agreement, then hearing them continue to speak at the same volume.
— The Dad Briefs™ (@SladeWentworth) July 31, 2021
My 6-year-old recently learned about nutrition and now whenever he wants a snack, he comes up behind me and whispers in my ear, “I need food to survive.”
— Kiss my Fat Ash🍑 (@Tobi_Is_Fab) August 5, 2021
What doesn't kill you wakes you up at 5 am asking for cereal and Peppa Pig.
