Saw a momfluencer post where she talked about how she had a “living room family,” not a “bedroom family” because everyone felt happy and safe together in the living room and didn’t feel the need to isolate themselves in their bedrooms. Her kids were 2-years-old and baby.

My 6yo got home from school and crawled into bed with a tube of pringles, so I guess it was a rough day in kindergarten

I had come to expect that my sons would eventually start calling me “bruh”. I did not anticipate that I would be calling them “bruh” in return.

with both parents in the hospital the second most asked question i get after “how are they” is “how is your husband doing with the kids when you’re gone all the time?”
im going to start telling people he was unable to handle them so he sold them to the circus

My 5yo: I AM GOING TO TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT A DRAGON AND LETTUCE.
Me *after ten minutes of story*: Let’s wrap it up, Babe.

Me: That’ll work.— Courtney Ellis 🎈 (@courtneyellis) February 20, 2024

7 year old: how does he still have a job?

Math tests should involve more real world problems like someone waking you screaming in your face while you calculate ‘if 36-47lbs, 4-5yo, take 1.5tsp every 6-8hrs do not exceed 4 in 24hrs’ but they are 34lbs and 6-7yo and you can’t find the measuring cup.

There's an ambulance outside as we walk into a store, and when my husband says that someone must be sick or hurt, my 7yo loudly proclaims, "BUT WHY would they 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 them to Walmart?!"
