Husband: “In this house we believe women, you don’t have to show us.”
When my first son was a baby, I fed him only pureed vegetables in his early weeks of table food; no fruit at first, so he wouldn't develop a taste for too much sweet stuff too soon.

Anyway my second baby who is 6 months old just licked PopTart crumbs off my now-3yo's fingers.
The teacher who told my son "men are the providers and women are the caregivers" just emailed to say she needs a cantaloupe for the class tomorrow and damn, I sure hope one of those dads she emailed provides

Listen I know the term "wedgie" has been working just fine for us up until now but if we're looking for something new, my 4-year-old just said "my bum is full of pajamas."

Before you have kids, you come up with the most insane arbitrary rules for them bc you have no idea that those things won’t matter at all. I remember once telling someone I wouldn’t let my future kids watch Cars bc “it’s the worst Pixar movie”

Also moms: Your orange and black hat is in the front hall closet, left side, on the second shelf, in the brown wicker bin that is next to the black fabric bin.
My daughter got home from school today and looked me dead in the eye and said “your lunch was a 6/10 today” and I just…

Sometimes I want to email a kid’s parent and be like “listen, you should know that your daughter is on the cusp of being a mean girl, and while this may work out for her short term, you and she should really discuss whether she wants to be selling leggings for an MLM in 30 years”

What my 2yo heard: Let’s review every shape I’ve ever learned about
My kid is learning French so she can “talk to the French aliens in space,” and I can’t fault her for wanting to be prepared to meet all those French aliens.

me: how do you know that??

My son caught me kicking crumbs under the fridge. I had to bribe him with ice cream, so he didn't tell mom. This wasn't in the parenting books.

Me: “Wow, a weekend without much to do, this is glorious.”
— Meg St-Esprit (@MegStEsprit) November 11, 2023
My kids: “THERE IS NOTHING TO DO THIS WEEKEND LETS MAKE PLANS.”
my daughter asked me why mom doesn't use Twitter and I said because she got appropriate levels of attention growing up. Then I think she asked me something about whether she should be on Twitter, not sure...I wasn't really paying attention.

Cut my son’s peanut butter sandwich into the shape of a carrot so he’d get some vegetables.
