It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and I wanted to say how thankful I am for your continued love and support. I started on Twitter in 2020 and it quickly became a great place for me to share my funny parenting jokes and stories. Thank you for sticking with me on this journey.

If you’d like to continue to follow my journey, you’ll find me on Threads, Instagram and Facebook as @itskevinthedad so please feel free to jump in the comments and say hi!

It’s hard to step away from a platform where I worked really hard to build an audience. It’s felt a bit like I was given a gift and it’s being slowly taken away. I know a lot of you won’t follow me to other platforms because this is your home, but I thank you anyways.

My general feeling now is that X does not enable the best in us as people. So being here and supporting the platform feels like it’s no longer an option.

Over the past 12 months, I’ve felt like this platform has moved away from what I first loved about it. While there were still challenges with the Twitter I’d joined, I felt like the platform was actively working towards making this a better space for all.

I could tell my beard needed a trim when I started seeing some of the pictures my 6yo was drawing of me

“Why do you have so many acorns inside the house?” is the exact type of question that someone without kids would ask

You might hear a lot of yelling, arguing, crying and laughter, but it’s just my kids doing some colouring together

Business idea: a subscription service that sends your kid a new water bottle every month because it will inevitably get lost at school again.

My 6yo comes home at the end of the day feeling tired, hungry and grumpy. Same.

My toddler has learned so many new words, but her favourite is still “NO!”

My toddler looked sad, so I started dancing in front of her to try cheer her up. She looked at me and shook her head. That’s a no.

Toddlers have this magical ability to turn tissues into confetti

My toddler is such a quick learner. She’s started telling herself to sit down on her chair instead of me needing to tell her. Now I just need her to learn to actually sit on the chair instead of standing on it.

My toddler has just learned how to say her brother’s name. So now she keeps repeating his name over and over, which is driving him absolutely crazy. I have to admit that I’m kinda enjoying it though. Better him than me!

Kids don’t need fancy toys and gadgets. All they need is a giant cardboard box and their imagination.

Being a parent has taught me so many wonderful things. I’ve learned how to provide endless love for my children, how to support their growing needs and how to clean crayon markings off the couch.

Netflix: Are you still watching Peppa Pig? Me: Yes, unfortunately I am.

My 6yo told me that I couldn’t go past him into the living room unless I told him the secret code which he said was a bathroom word. So I said “a bathroom word” and he didn’t let me in.

My 6yo said he doesn’t want a birthday party next year. He just wants his friends to come to our house, drop off some presents and leave. I think he’s completed his metamorphosis into an introvert.
