90% of my parenting is thinking about when I can lie down again.

I’ve never vacationed alone but I did get to go to the grocery store without my kids one time.

No one makes more observations than a child sharing a stall with his mother inside a public restroom.

6. It’s an acquired taste.
Since becoming a parent I’ve really acquired a taste for coffee that’s been reheated 5 times.

-Me, lying to my child
8. It’s quite the skill.
And for my next trick I'll turn my kids into starving, dehydrated philosophers who also need to pee a lot, by simply using these two magical words, "It's bedtime."

As a parent, you do everything humanly possible to shield your children from Caillou. But they will find him. They will always find him.

I’m going out on the town with my wife tonight so we can complain about how tired we are someplace else.

15. Honesty is always the best policy.
I’m a good person but…
— Momsense Ensues (@momsense_ensues) April 24, 2019
I skip a lot of the words, in books I hate, when I read to my kids.
16. It’s going to be amazing!
With summer coming, I can’t wait for family swim time where the kids try to drown me while my wife relaxes by the pool.
— The Dad (@thedad) May 20, 2019
17. Have kids, they said.
Let’s get married and have kids so instead of relaxing on the beach you can keep sand out of their mouth while I blow up a raft and they ask if there is a pool.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) June 18, 2019
18. Yep.
Family vacations are just day after day of your kid begging to go back to the hotel so they can swim in the pool.
— Abe Yospe (@Cheeseboy22) June 13, 2019
19. Are we there yet?
I've never wanted my life to simulate "The Oregon Trail" more than right now, while on a road trip with two whining kids and wishing for the sweet release of dysentery.
— A Bearer Of Dad News (@HomeWithPeanut) August 4, 2019

I decided to take my toddler for a walk around the block last week. We are almost home.

21. Technically that IS accurate so…
My 5 yo was helping me sort laundry and he saw my bra and said “Mom there’s your boob clothes!”
— Mom.Whine.Repeat (@MomWhineRepeat) January 3, 2019
And now I’m going to forever call my bras “Boob Clothes”
22. Maybe next year.
No thanks, "30 adorable lunch ideas for back to school."
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) August 5, 2019
23. True happiness!
I thought I was happy and then I saw my toddler discover how pockets work and I realized I don’t know what happiness is.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) September 13, 2019
24. Not it!
Arguing with my husband over whose turn it is to move the Elf is what this season is really about.
— Mommy Owl (@Mommy__Owl) December 4, 2019
25. The big man is totally on speed dial.
