Hahaha

God yes. Our daughter is 7 and it still takes 30 minutes just to leave. Long gone are the days of just putting shoes on and grabbing my keys.

I like this

This is so real. My daughter kicks like a pro every time I try to change her diaper.

I always remind her that the sun never really sets, we're just moving around it. When it's dark here it's morning in other parts of the world and we're just sharing the sun until it's our turn again.

HA!! I think every momma knows this feeling!!

Soooo accurate! Lol! Ahhhhhh!

In my case, this is why potty training ended at two. Lead by example.

Stop the double standards, they're both doing good.

This is kinda like something I heard about dogs that they are only a small part of your life but you are their whole life, so like be the best person you can be to them or something like that — albeit slightly different with a person since you will not be their whole life forever but at baby stage you kind of are

Ours was like a timer. Every night around 10, 1, and 4 I would change her, feed her and then put her back to sleep while my wife pumped.

And then the belt gets stuck. And baby scratches your face. And someone honks because your open door blocks them.

My Dad spoils my son in a different way. He's an amazing Romany Gypsy elder and has a traditional vardo bow wagon in the back garden and owns a 16 acre woodland which my son refers to as his "big garden". He lets my son make wooden sculptures with various tools, (supervised), and has loads of cool props and puppets and stuff he uses for work. He also writes kids stories and my son appears in a tonne of them and gets to go to events and such with him.

Hmmm, no even with the castle 😊

It makes me laugh... my parents were so strict, my dad didn't do anything with me or my brother ever .... now they are grandparents my dad does everything with my nephew, and spends every moment he can with him and they both appear to have decide rules are for breaking!

lol My mom said no a lot to me and even today she says no more than sure. Some of her reasoning was understandable but sometimes the reason was that she "doesn't want to start something". What I don't know. But I think it's more along the lines of what she perceives as annoying. But she's caved in and got me those Click Clackers and regretted it XD

Yep

I had no trouble saying no to my 3 children back in the 90's and 2k. We now have a 7mo old grandbaby. I've tried to be good about not buying him a ton of stuff. God help me when he starts talking...he and Nonnie will be off to Target in a snap!!

80s baby here!

Definitely how most grandparents are, but this could be regular parents in both pics. A parent in the 80’s would probably be quicker to say no than one in 2019.

Yup. I still remember not getting a bike because if we bought a bike that ment dad couldn't afford his car and he would have to walk to work. McDonald's and Chucky Cheese were always closed for maintenance and playdo apparently was so expensive we couldn't afford it. Now I buy my daughter everything lol.

Hey, you hungry? - NO! Sleepy? - NO! Want the broom (favorite ...toy)? - NO! What can mommy do? - NO! (He's heading towards a Ph.D in homotopy now... 😐)

it's my special leaf, and I can't live without it!

Lol the feet

...to see if they are clean :))))

Be like you, and sleep like your parents.

No..that's why you tell everyone you're going to yoga when you're actually going out to have coffee with friends.

OMG super true!

😁

I always check their pulses

I still love wearing my cozy pants from pregnancy 😌 I can pull them up to my bra and always have a warm belly 🥰

The toilet paper is hung in the wrong direction.

I am so relieved!

Or they just eat the frosting

Or... make *insert exotic country* sandwiches...

This is what I call "potty racing" and I HATE it.

Until the teen age kicks in ..
