There is no one more energetic than a toddler five seconds after they recover from a virus.

I try my best to entertain my kids but I’ll never be able to compete with a neighbourhood squirrel eating an apple

Every time you hear another parent at the playground saying 'ok but this is the last one' a piece of your soul dies

If I see someone I know walking down the street, I need to be 100% certain I know who it is and 150% certain they know who I am. Then maybe I’ll give a subtle nod or say a quick hello. My 6yo sees a friend a block away, starts waving his arms in the air and yelling “HI ASHLEIGH!”

I bought a friend's grandkid a teether that said "I laugh at Dad Jokes"

Big kid asks "what's a dad joke?"

"you know, like when you say 'iiim hungry' and dad says" hi hungry, I'm dad"

"so a dad joke is a joke that's not funny?"

After your kid has a bath, you should always make sure you check if the ceiling is wet. This was not something I knew that I needed to check for.

Whoever designed toddlers really knew what they were doing. I left my 2yo alone for a minute and he completely trashed the room and when I walked in he just looked up at me all wide eyed with his arms out and goes, "What I dooed?"

My own two kids are killing me
I must confess, they will not sleep
When it’s their bedtime I lose my mind
Just close your eyes
Fall asleep, it’s your bedtime!

I told my husband to watch our toddler closely while I was out as he'd been particularly wild that day and as I was leaving I swear I heard my husband muttering to himself, "I don't feel safe".

My toddler has discovered this new thing that makes her laugh uncontrollably and it’s watching her parents try to swat a fly

Rule #1 of the parenting code: it is now acceptable to use baby wipes to clean everything

I asked my 6yo if he knew what he was doing and he said no, but I’m not allowed to say he doesn’t know what he’s doing “because that’s horrifying!”

I told my husband he can’t do yard work every weekend because we need to make memories while the kids are young, so now apparently we’ll be cleaning out the gutters as a family next weekend

Parents: Nice to meet you, this is our little darling

I’m convinced all toddlers trained at Cobra Kai. They strike first, they strike hard, and they show no mercy.

My 2yo was swinging a wooden spoon around and it hit me in the head so I told him "please be gentle with that." He paused for a minute then started petting the spoon like it was a cat.

Used this car wash 15 times this summer and my car is still filthy.

Giving my 4 year old one star, but will still use again because she works for popsicles.

I was sitting on the couch and had both kids snuggled on top of me. They must have thought I was mommy or something.
