So cute!

Your kid has it spot on right. He'll go far.

I almost never censored my kids music, but I actually took away a CD someone gave my daughter once. She was 9 and it was Akon's Trouble. I knew of the album but wasn't really familiar with the songs so I decided to look at the tracklist and the lyrics. I realized I didn't want my daughter listening to songs about strippers & guys getting w**dies, calling people bit**es and n***as at that age. I didn't think she should be exposed to that quite yet. I also told the mom of the kid who'd given it to her. The mom had no idea about the lyrics, her daughter had just told her that the singer was really popular at that moment and "it was what everyone was listening to".

I got a calendar every year of my life until my mom died when I was forty. I fully intend to get calendars for my kids until I die.

lol We've been there. The only solace is seeing the other equally tired parents, also sipping on their coffees. You share a quite nod of solidarity when you make eye contact.

Sassy?

It’s called Christmas Milk in my partner’s house 😂

I really wanna know the story behind that one 😂

I would say this is overall a win for the parents. She at least knows when and where to act appropriately, which is a wonderful thing to learn. But I understand your struggle. I don't have children, but I am a teacher. I know some students aren't bad really, but they can be so maddening sometimes.

I'm not a parent but if my own son said that to me, I'd be like: "Yeah, fair enough, take it."

What I say: "It's time for bed." & What my cat hears: "Start running around like crazy, making weird noises and knocking objects down."

This has the same energy as my cousin, at about 6, making a 'deal' that for every bite of his grilled cheese, he got to eat an olive. We were all like, "...Sure? Not going to argue with you."

Snacks are almost always more fun than dinner.

And what to say about avocado toast, right?!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I once asked my 3 daughters what my superpower was, and in unison they all said "Saying No". Older woman in the same supermarket aisle overheard & nearly fell into the freezer laughing.

Yeah, someone should make some kind of calendar that counts down to when you can start using your advent calendar. Maybe put chocolates in it?

'We prefer the weird "adoption" but...'

Good for him tbf lol, if i did that i wouldn't be here lol

Uuuuuuggghhhh! 🧟‍♀️

Front seat. I used to ride in the back window.

At this time of the day, I also had to answer questions like "Do bacteria have to eat, too?" or "Can burglars come to the pool, too?"

Ours was flashlights. Actually had to hide a few for emergencies. Cleaning out her room at age 7? We found 6 full-sized flashlights, 5 mini flashlights, a HUGE 18-20 inch heavy one we thought we'd lost camping, our 2 emergency lanterns, the crank flashlight we got her, and probably every damned battery we'd bought in the past 4 years!

Fair enough.

When my kids jab with this kind of stuff it cracks. me. up. So good lol.

NOOoooooo.....

That's rough

"Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom and nom. I had enough!"

No honour among thieves.

Both descended from dinosaurs

Truly nefarious kid that is 🐇

Tbf seeing my mum use the same strategy over and over to parent has always been entertaining

Inquiring minds want to know: Is laughter the best medicine?

Future spreadsheet monkey/bean counter/budget pest.

Why not it has all the food groups?

yes, yes it is

Add in the dangers of quicksand as well

And that's why in my country you learn with an instructor. When you're an adult.

Child shows promise.

Hoping anybody beats up an old man? Not the best

About 5 minutes ago, I told my coworker that I wanted my couch and my pajamas

Is your daughter the girl from Airplane!?

I offer my son for parenting experience to anyone willing to take on a 42 year old teenager.

Wait setting up something where people grandparent age-y and parents can talk so the grandparents can give advice and maybe if the parents are comfortable physically help with the kids n stuff would be kinda cool but i don't think it'd be viable for safety reasons

This sounds like a good idea. I would love to 'borrow' someone's child for a couple hours so I can go to the movies and watch the newest "kid movie" without feeling creepy about it by being a solitary adult lol..

Cool, now go do that in the back yard and have fun 🤣

Eating cake for breakfast the week after your birthday is one of the best feelings ever

I remember finding a few of my "given to the Tooth Fairy" baby teeth in some of my parents' old stuff upstairs in the storage closet. I was a little grossed out that my parents had sentimentally kept my old discarded pieces of enamel. I then proceeded to keep all of my two current dogs' shed puppy teeth as I could XD I may not have had human offspring, but I have continued the generational saga of keeping baby teeth >_>;

"Kid" here. Night before. Gotta have plenty of prep time. Lol

That is such a hard age to buy for, I would appreciate them doing the leg work for me.

If summer time is daylight saving time, than winter time is daylight wasting time?
