I was the former my lil brother the latter lmao

I'm jealous... I never celebrated christmas as a child...

That is awesome!

Imagine if the roles were reversed, it would sound very sinister.

I hated doing things like this when I was a teacher as most would be lovely scenes like this and then some would break my heart. One kid drew a person and I asked who it was expecting it to be mum and they me. It made me wonder what was going on at home for them to consider me their safe place. Opened up a can of worms in the neglect this child faced (no obvious stuff before that, had clean clothes and food etc so parents had been sneaky in hiding it on the outside) but I got social services involved and the grandparents ended up formally adopting the child with no parental contact. Very glad I asked questions about the picture.

Or puke all over your shirt, pillow and sheet

Eh, if it ain't broke

I hope he ate free for cuteness.

Now I can agree

I like Baby and this is harsh.... what about the sister? I think they should be more concerned about Robbie the impregnator

Or they end up as a registered sex offender for streaking through a football field on their 18th birthday

I feel this. Being social and outgoing to their teachers, other parents and my kids friends is exhausting sometimes. Trying to blend in as a "normal" parent when I really don't know how.

lol. As a mum this one is equal parts funny and frustrating. My kids ask me random things at very inopportune time. Its like their brain goes "I want to learn how to make bread" and so their mouth goes "Mum.... can we make bread on the weekend?" Meanwhile, it's 7pm on Tuesday evening and I am trying wrangle a toddler who is naked and wet and streaking through the house screaming "I don't want the cowboy pajamas". 'We'll see' is honestly the most mental bandwidth I have at that point. Saturday morning child has forgotton about bread and quite frankly, so have I. Its now 5pm on Sunday afternoon, I'm making dinner and kid suddenly remembers bread. F**k. I dont have flour, Kid doesnt have two hours to let it rise because kid has to go to bed. Cue screams of "you never let me do anything". Sigh. Breath.

This one is a classic

😢 my nephew started first grade and lost his first tooth. I'm not ready for this

Yes!

We do pizza night. I set out a selection of toppings, stretch out the dough, and the kids choose their own toppings-amount, placement, mix of cheeses etc from the selection. It's not uncommon for them to change their minds once theirs comes out of the oven. 'I don't want mushrooms on my pizza' even though they put the mushrooms on it themselves, saying "great, I love mushrooms!" but 20 minutes later, mushrooms are devil food and they wanted sweetcorn like their brothers pizza has. It still all gets eaten, just not by the person who created it sometimes.

That’s teens for you. My bro eats 20 pounds of food a day and still hungry

My 15 year old is never full. Unless it’s something he doesn’t like

😭😭😭 my kids are preteen, am a single mum, this is them now I am so screwed 😭😂😭😂

I think teenage boys are bottomless pits.

Yes, I recognize that.

My son used to eat a couple of helpings at dinner and then stare into the refrigerator 30 minutes later saying he was hungry.

I'm just feeling that - Yesterday - full fridge, today - empty fridge and there are only 3 of us in the house

My mom used to tell me they were taking me back to the pound because they couldn't afford to feed me. Lol. Besides having the awesome teenage metabolism I was always involved in at least two sports at any given time so I would burn crazy calories and be constantly starving. But I could out compete most boys my age. That was awesome. I miss that.

Mine is 24 and it doesn't get any better!

It's called a growth spurt!

Definition of grandmother story XD

That kid is going places. They might be supervillain places, but still

Shh.

Welll….she knows because she didn’t teach her son and regrets it.

Toddlers are too strong for their age and size, and fast, and slippery most of the time.

That stuff IS important!

Laughing in older than internet

She loves you enough to visit, at least once I'd say

Yep. My son had a late start this morning because his first period was cancelled. He was still late for his second class.

I call that yesterday...

Take photos for both proof and blackmail

Leader... *laughs hysterically*

Its exactly like that! Only, my first one is still in uni going for her phd, and my second one landed his first job already and making more money than me!

"...released into the wild"? Why were we not informed that this is an option?

like the toddler who flat out denies eating the chocolate cake with chocolate cake around their mouth

SHUT UP MOM!! STOP SINGING YOU SUCK!!

Could also be me when I have to get out to accept a parcel

And then get it mixed up with recycling and lie awake at night because you gave the recycling plant a bunch of clothes and gave goodwill a bunch of empty cans.

Is it really that bad I'm school? Now I only get emails once a week from her daycare

And I bet she has little birds and mice doing the housework for them, too

My favourite thing used to be my parents not admitting they were wrong even when they obviously were.

Or climbed up and are too afraid to get down. And this mommy dino isn't very good at flying, despite all the feathers
