Parenting is many things. It’s fun. It’s hard. It’s amusing. It’s frustrating. Mostly, it’s just… a lot. It’s easy sometimes to feel like we’re in this alone, and sometimes it’s tempting to let the bad moments win out over the good ones. Thankfully, one of the nice things about the internet is that we’re all connected and can share our stories, commiserate together, and learn to find the humor in all the madness.
Because when you get right down to it, us parents are all going through similar things. It may be absurd, it may be difficult, but we can get through it, and have a few laughs along the way.
My 3rd grader wants to be something really scary for Halloween so we are going to dress her up as this note from her music teacher that recorders will be coming home this week.
Me: I'm going to be recovering from major abdominal surgery while caring for a newborn and a potty training toddler. I assure you I'll be working. You want to trade me jobs?
It was a Fisher Price toy plane my kid left in the middle of the hallway that took me down. But that short time of being unconscious felt like a vacation. Looking forward to the next trip.
If kids learn by watching us why do mine throw things in the laundry they’ve worn for 5 minutes when I’m clearly wearing clothes I’ve had on for 3 days?
Thief: put your hands up Me: what’s going on? Thief: I’m stealing your identity Me: Sweet, here’s the kids schedules Thief: wait Me: you’ll want refill the antidepressants Thief: hold on Me: the dogs are due for shots Thief: I’m sorry nvm I can’t do this Me: wait come back!
