That kid is going places

I did the math, if she ate it everyday for 9 months(average time needed to birth a baby), and the average McDonald's meal cost $8 USD it would cost about. . . $2,184. (sorry, I'm just extra bored today. smh.)

Sometimes that actually does the trick. Start wailing as loud as them, with those long, sighing gasps in between. A crying choir can turn into a laughing choir and/or stun them out of their self-dug pit of sadness. (It is important to give the 3yo a chance to explain why he was crying though, which will help them learn to talk about it, next time. Crying is okay as a way to release the first gulf of emotion, but talking can help you work through it, where crying would only drain you further.)

I feel this in my bones

Aww but this is so sweet. Parenting 100/10

Up vote for becoming aware of the responsibilities.

Valuable vocab

My husband got his hands on an old switchboard. Best (most quiet) three months we ever had, as long as we ignored the 'click-clack' sounds! (Helped to put it away and then take it out again a few months later as well.)

Glad the chick still prefers mill 🤪

🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂

This is where he'll learn the fine art of lying about not bingeing the entire season of a show they're supposed to be watching with their partner...

He's got a point. What were you thinking?

We live rural. My son knows where his food comes from. When he sees a scared chicken he tells them don't worry we aren't going to eat you yet.

Chore charts sadly don't work. They make everything a -chore- and have the participants overlook other tasks that are not specifically on the chart for that specific day

My kids had giftcards for a bookstore and they both bought the same picture book because "we don't want to share and it's OUR gift!".

Above 20 everyone is practically a granny to little kids

Give the kid some cupcakes, she deserves them

Or giving completely stupid suggestions like 'have you tried just calming her down?'

No 2 year old would choose to sleep by themselves. In the African savanna little kids sleeping by themselves out of sight of grown-ups got eaten.

I dread having to go through homework one day with the chick. I literally forgot about everything I learned at school

Nope, all your luck was used up on that one

Love the picture and the sentiment.

Cheestchup sounds better than choctchup

I solved this with a game. It's called the sneaky game and we talk like 1940s mobsters and use our fingers as fake mustaches. Then we do mildly naughty things. People just think I'm a weird parent but it works.

Still better than most of the healthcare here. At least he spent time with you

How to become an abductor... by accident

Details... mere technicalities

Oh God, same! And when she wants to do it but it doesn't work: DRAMA!

My son loves doing this after rolling in mud puddles and having wrestling matches with our long haired dog
