Every single day I strive to teach my kids how to make good choices and every single day they make it seem like they’ve never heard a word I’ve said.

My attempt to teach bear safety to my son turned in a game of “Bear attack” in which he provoked the family Bear, er, dog to attack him. Much fun was had.

Me (shopping at Walmart): “what am I looking for?”
Son: “Mama, I know why I get distracted easily.”
Me: “Mmmhmmm” (suddenly interested in matching holiday PJs)
Son: “Because I came out of you.”

While Junie B. Jones checks out the nursery for the not-a-surprise B-A-B-Y she doesn’t want her Mother to have, in the new graphic novel version, my son calls the crib a baby cage and insists I refer to it as such for the rest of the book. He empathizes with Junie. “I don’t want a baby,” he says.

Me: (fumbling over a made up word in a kid’s book)
My son: (proununing word flawlessly)
Me: wow, why am I so bad at saying that?
My son: because you’re old

I do this thing when I’m stressed where I shove Doritos in my mouth mindlessly. I bet my husband thinks it’s sexy.

I am so tired of people calling things divisive when what they mean is that they were more comfortable when other people were just being silently oppressed and they didn’t have to hear about it or change anything

I wish I could go back in time 6 years and tell my mom-self not to purée homemade baby food. Save yourself the time and stress because we all eventually give our school-aged kids Lunchables. It is a modern parenting hack you won’t see on Instagram.

Son, ruminating about his Steal-A-Brainrot obsession: I don’t know how to get the Smurf Cat. I think it takes a Pink Elephant ritual. You put three pink elephants in a triangle & then some magic stuff sprays out & they disappear.
Me: Did I just spend $20 robux for my kid to join a cult? #parenting

“You can’t steal from the fairies” is a phrase I never pictured myself saying. Shout out to all parents who leaned in even at the Renaissance Faire. I see you. ✨ 🧚♂️

Want to know how much time I just spent researching the 6-7 meme because my son asked me what it meant? Too much. #parenting

Dear parents, let’s all simultaneously agree to stop gifting money to our kids for something the human body is designed to do. Then I don’t have to explain why our tooth fairy re-gifted a happy meal toy while Nico got a $20 bill because his parents didn’t have change. #parenting
