If you're not formulating and assembling an essential project at 10pm the night before it's due, is your kid really in middle school?

wife [on Facebook] Spent the day with the kids. We had so much fun!

I’m not saying kids ruin your life, I’m just saying mine told her teacher all about my chin hair.

In the car earlier, I belted out every word of Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” over my kids' loud protests, and it was the best 3:04 minutes of my day.

From the other room, I heard my wife yell, “That’s not chapstick! That’s glue!”

I think I’ll let her handle this one.
Being a parent is mostly just yelling "Wash your hands!" whenever you hear a toilet flush.

I’m feeling yucky tonight so everyone in my family is catering to me.

Just kidding. The dog looks slightly concerned but that’s about it.
I love my 4yo. But when she yells "mom your legs are so hairy!" in the middle of a crowded mall, I have no choice but to deny all relation.

I just told my husband “Hang on; I have to go potty”, in case you wondered how having six kids affects a marriage.

Hope you don't enjoy sitting or sleeping.
My kid hates tying his shoes so much I expect to see “Velcro-4-Life” tattooed on his chest.

Parenting, verb: The act of falling asleep while pretending to be asleep in an effort to get tiny versions of yourself to sleep.

Me: *discovers huge mess in room* What happened in here?

Before I had kids I had no idea that so much of my adult life would be spent saying, "No, you can't make slime right now!"

Chocolate cake!

Chocolate milk!

Mac and cheese!
Oh, cheese!
Toys!

Took some Children's Tylenol last night and slept soundly, while dreaming of Sesame Street. I don't think it's supposed to work like that.

Sign your kid up for the sport they BEG to play so you can listen to their incessant bitching about it as you drive them to practice.

8yo: Mom!
— HowToBeADad (@HowToBeADad) October 12, 2017
Me: She's in the shower.
8: I know.
M: Then why'd you call her?
8: *shrugs* That's what I do.
I have so many pictures of my 3y.o. napping to assure myself that, yes, occasionally he IS quiet.

My daughter started talking to a tower of garbage cans thinking it was me, so don’t you dare suggest that motherhood is a thankless job.

I'm sorry I can't make it to your event. It's just that it takes place after my kids are asleep and that's when I do all of my lying still.
— Lauren Mullen (@DraggingFeeties) October 13, 2017
Me: Sweetie, you look sleepy.
— Carter's Cozy Nest (@CartersCozyNest) October 9, 2017
4 yo: How can you tell?
Me: You have circles under your eyes.
4 yo: Wow! You must be exhausted! #momlife#ouch
