Our new babysitter told me that my daughter picked a lemon from our tree “for mommy’s vodka drinks” in case you’re wondering if I’m nailing motherhood.
My sister’s dog got spayed and she didn’t want her to have to wear a cone so she’s in a bodysuit and now she looks like she’s about to take a pawlatis class.
When I was in college our house got robbed. My roommate took the cops to my room and they said wow they trashed this room and she said no that’s just how she lives. I think about that sometimes.
My friend told me when she was a kid her dad had gopher traps in the backyard and on Easter morning there was a dead bunny in a trap so the next time you’re down on yourself as a parent just remember at least you didn’t murder the Easter Bunny.
Was complaining to my mom about my kids and she reminded me that the day I got my driver’s permit I ran over her foot on her birthday and I feel like she’s making this about her.
My mom said my kids are on their screens too much so I locked her outside til the streetlights turned on and told her if she’s thirsty she can drink from the hose.
My husband did a load of dishes and folded a load of laundry and then complained that I didn’t even notice and I laughed so hard I almost coughed up a lung.
Me: No more talking. Good night.
10: Did you know you could throw a rock into a big body of water and be the last person to touch that rock until the end of time?
My husband has the flu and came down while I was scrambling to get the kids ready for school to tell me the house is a mess so I made him some cyanide with a side of tea.
My 8 year old told me a boy proposed at school and she accepted and honestly this will be her second marriage so I told her she’s going to get a reputation.
My son said it’s not fair I’m the only one that sleeps alone because my sisters sleep together and so do you and dad. I said I totally understand you can sleep with dad and I’ll take your room.
5: Mom, can boys wear mascara?
Me: Of course! boys can wear makeup. Girls can play with cars. People can do whatever they want in life.
5: But they can’t jump on the couch because that’s not safe.
Remember when the doorbell would ring and you’d yell who is it? Now when it rings I rage shush everyone until the person thinks no one is home and leaves.
My advice to new parents would be don’t try to understand kids. For example every night at bedtime my daughter says necklace in a tree and I say I know but I don’t know what the fuck she’s talking about.
My kids were playing hide and seek and my daughter sat on the couch and said I’m tired so I’m just gonna let them hide and I think she’s ready for parenthood now.
Told my mom I was frustrated with my kid and she reminded me when I was two I flushed an entire box of tampons down the toilet in the Chicago winter and froze the pipes and honestly why is she making this about her?
5: Mom can boys wear mascara?
Me: Of course they can! Boys can wear makeup, girls can play with cars, people can do whatever they want in life.
5: But they can’t jump on the couch cause that’s not safe.
My family couldn’t find my daughter’s piano book and I got home and found it in 4 seconds and her teacher said it’s not lost til mom can’t find it so now we’re eloping.
