I’m Mom. You might remember me from such hits as “When is this assignment due?” and its sequel “How long have you known about this?”

Every time my mom stays over with my son for the night we come home and the whole house is clean even though I left it messy, my son is perfectly behaved, and she’s folded my laundry. How are moms??? Aren’t I a mom?? Why am I not a this kind of mom???

My 5yo can't drive her pretend car because she can't find her driver's license that she made out of cardboard. She's stressing because she doesn't know how she's going to take her babies to the park. Her pretend play is too real. I'm stressing with her.

The absolute best thing about today is that I told my 10 year old I was nominated for the National Book Award and he then told me that out of all the kids in his class he can stuff the most Oreos in his mouth 🥰🥰

I hit the curb in the school drop-off line, so if I don't tweet for a while it's because I've been busy transferring my kid to a new school.

The most unrealistic thing I've ever seen in a movie is when an entire family sits down to eat breakfast together on a weekday.

Sorry I'm late, my 2yo decided he could buckle his own carseat.

The most rewarding part of having a teenage daughter is having someone who looks exactly like you, acts just like you but who also finds everything about you absolutely repulsive

My kindergartner told me some of her friends were throwing up the middle finger at recess. When I told her we don’t do that at school she said, “we only curse when someone is driving slow.” And now she’s officially ready for a driver’s license.

My husband turned on Mambo#5 and my toddler burst into tears and said “Turn it OFF” and crawled into my lap for me to console him. Lou Bega, can you explain this???

After nearly 13 years of being a parent, I thought nothing much could surprise me. Then I find my 8 year old eating frozen peas. From a mug. With a spoon.

Welcome to parenthood. Even if you sanded down your kitchen table it's still gonna be sticky.

Shout out to all the parents who panic sprayed Febreeze on a gym uniform this morning. You are my people.

one thing about adulthood i was not prepared for was how many cardboard boxes i'd have to breakdown and throw away all the time.
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) September 14, 2022
My 5-year-old was pretending to do her Wordle with me. As she pushed buttons on her cardboard phone, "yes! I got it!" I asked how she got it so quick. Her, "I have a pretend phone I can do whatever I want." That's fair.

According to my 5yo “food is not okay to eat if it’s been on the floor for 3 hours” so I guess it’s now the 3 hour rule
