The preschoolers got to choose a free book from the book fair, so my kid came home with one we already have because she knows she likes it, and I can’t fault that logic

No one is full of more false hope than a parent with a new chore chart.

My daughter has started a fun new game where she tries to guess my age with random numbers like 72 or 94. So fun.

My son’s preschool class had caterpillars that turned into butterflies. According to him, the proper name for them are “Wet Lady Butterflies.” After a quick Google search, I’m pretty sure that’s NOT what they’re called.

I wish Disney would adopt the titles my daughter has given their movies, which includes Beauty & the Beast, Beauty & the Beast: Real (live action), Aladdin, Aladdin: Real, Little Mermaid, and the highly anticipated Little Mermaid: Real

My kids have started diving into the massive pile of clean laundry like a pile of leaves so I’m not neglecting chores, I’m encouraging creative play.

My toddler is in the phase where he wants to do it, but he also wants me to do it, and there's literally no winning.

I bought Bluey sheets so I can encourage my 2yo to sleep in her own bed.
— Mom With No Plan (@MomWithNoPlan) May 31, 2023
She LOVES the sheets.
She also happens to love them better when she puts them on my bed at 2am.
Just found my kid’s missing library book with two days left in the school year so maybe I should buy a lottery ticket

If you enjoy being broken out of your sleep at 3am because of a punt kick to the back by a very tall and wildly sleeping 9yo boy in YOUR bed - parenting may be for you...

I went to culinary school. I cook for my kids every single day, and yet my 5-year-old’s favorite food is a “cheese-up” where she takes a slice of cheese, dumps ketchup down the middle, and rolls it up like some kind of cursed enchilada.
— The Dad (@thedad) June 1, 2023
As a parent there’s so many things that need to get done each weekend. It’s a never ending task list. My 6yo had one thing he wanted to do this weekend, which was watching the movie Inside Out, and he’d completed that task by 7am on Saturday.

A game show where contestants race to put shoes on a kid but one shoe is under the couch and the other is in a mud puddle out back and who knows where the fuck the kid is.
— Daddy Go Fish (@daddygofish) May 31, 2023
Are you having a nice three day weekend or did you buy the wrong brand of hot dogs and have the audacity to serve them to your 6yo?
