Recently my 4 yo has said she doesn’t like it when I work (because I’m away from her). I’ve explained that I work so she has food and clothes, and we should be grateful. Today she’s playing “work,” and I hear her telling her sister loudly: WE HAVE TO WORK TO KEEP FROM STARVING.

My kids are my everything. I mean this literally--they've methodically broken all of my personal belongings over the past four and a half years.

I don't care if there's no trick or treat happening, I will be dressing up as the Mandalorian and the baby will be Baby Yoda all October.

Last night, we were listening to Evanescence’s My Immortal and my 6 year old suddenly yells “SHE SOUNDS WORRIED WHAT HAPPENED DID A DUCK FALL OFF HER ROOF?”
— Arianna Bradford (@TheNYAMProject) September 6, 2020

My almost-three-year-old daughter was in the shower with me— she grabbed a gob of my hair from the drain, looked at it in wonder and said “Wow... it’s so beautiful!”
— Brooklyn Decker (@BrooklynDecker) September 6, 2020
Someone please remind me of this moment in 12 years when she’s calling me the C word.
I told my kid to put his toys in the toy box and he told me the entire house is a toy box. He’s not wrong.
— Dude-Bro Dad (@thedadvocate01) September 7, 2020
Every mother has consumed that soggy, half-eaten cookie that’s been manhandled by a toddler because there’s literally no garbage can in sight.
