Welcome to parenting, where even success feels like failure — but it’s still worth celebrating because you survived another week! Pat yourselves on the back.
I went out last night and my husband put the 3yo and the baby to bed by himself, which neither of us has done alone yet. I got home and everyone was asleep and he was so calm, and I was like “Wow I’m so glad it well went!” and he was like “oh no, it went terribly.” 😂

Took my 6 y/o daughter to a college football game and my dream of turning her into a fan quickly faded when she asked to go home in the first quarter because “we just watched this game on TV last week.”

Our 3yo made us sit and watch her performance, meaning she twirled around the living room for 5 minutes singing “Kitties eat corn” and at the end she pointed at us and said “What do kitties eat?” and we said “Corn!” Giving this one a 10/10 for the audience engagement alone.

The eight year old: Why doesn’t anyone else seem to notice how embarrassing everything is?

I’m giving dirty looks to this dad at the cafe whose kid is being obnoxious but he’s not doing anything about it so I guess I’m going to have to deal with it because he’s my kid too or whatever

On my son’s birthday each year, I like to think back to 2017 when Carvel wrote “Happy 2th Birthday” on his cake

I got a new pair of wide leg jeans, my first pair since probably my teen years.
My 12yo gave me a hug and said “awwww” like it was adorable that I was trying to be trendy 😂😂

Leaving the park with my kids, we discovered a bunch of guys sitting and smoking on the hood of our car, and I’m proud to report I was Stern* and Confrontational** about it

Parenting is weird because you find yourself saying things like: that was a cute story but you know if you ever meet a real bear with a toothache you shouldn’t try to help it, right?

Heard a woman in Target ask her kid ‘is that a smart choice to make with your money?’ and now I wish she would follow me around the store, too.

Why would I pay for an escape room when I can be trapped in a school pickup line in the boiling heat with a bunch of entitled parents who think they can cut in line and a kid in the backseat screaming and kicking my seat for free

My 3yo (who is extremely clean for a toddler) keeps crying at mealtimes because “I don’t like watching the baby eat, she’s so messy” and honestly, same

Why am I the only dad here for parent-teacher conferences? Am I the only dad who can take time off work? The only dad to view this as a parenting duty, not a mommy duty? The only dad who often marks the wrong date on his calendar? The conferences are tomorrow, aren’t they? Dammit
