Q: Whats the quickest way to spread gossip?
A: Post it online, call your neighbor, or tell a toddler who has just learned to talk.
My eight-year-old son would make a great parole officer someday. He never lets anyone finish a sentence.

I learned to cook from my mother I made a point of watching everything she did, so I could do everything the opposite way.
If my daughter complains too much, I make her sit in her room for an hour listening to her super-realistic crying baby.

I just wanted five minutes to drink my coffee, so I sent my kid in the other room to look for a toy thats in my pocket.

When my daughter didnt accept my friend request, it hurt my feelings. But then my mom friend-requested me, and I suddenly understood.
Im putting my son through school single-handedly. Well, I shoved him through the doorway while holding a toddler, but its a start.
Being a mom means your kids never expecting to hear Im sorry.

Ever notice in the story of the 3 bears, Papa Bears porridge is piping hot, babys is perfect, & poor Mama Bears is cold?
I get it now.
Sometimes I cant believe that I already have a sixteen-year-old daughter. Then I remember shes only twelve but wearing a push-up bra.
Its important to offer your kids a lot of choices for dinner, such as eat what I give you, or dont, or go to your room, or eat what I give you.
My husband is a stay-at-home dad. I take the kids to schoolhe stays at home. I pick them up and take them to soccer practicehe stays at home.
I let my six-year-old daughter paint my toenails and it definitely looks like she thinks I have hooves instead of feet.
When I tucked him in tonight, my kid asked me if I was happy. I told him I was on cloud wine.
Life is better with kids. Both are better with wine.
Steps to Getting Your Kid to Brush Their Teeth
- See if the brush is wet.
- Smell their breath.
- Get them an electric toothbrush with their favorite cartoon character on it to make brushing more fun.
- Buy a decoy toothbrush with a camera in it and retire to your secret lair to wait and see if brushing takes place.
- Once their teeth fall out from not brushing, make a necklace for them to wear for the rest of their lives.
If you asked me if Id rather be rich, famous, or a good mom, Id say two of those three would be nice. After all, itd be no fun to be poor and famous.
No week is a good week for your four-year-old to learn knock-knock jokes.

Ok, children! Time to go!

I said lets go.
None of my children will ever appreciate how much time Ive spent planning every moment of their lives.
Renting a bounce house for my kids birthday is pretty expensive, but can you really put a price on the happiness I feel being left alone?
Now that Im a mother myself, Ive realized my mom is my hero. And you know what they say: never meet your heroes.
Youre a lot more chill and laid-back when youre an older mom. For instance, I just let my son run in a circle for two hours because I couldnt chase him anymore.
They say being nice to other peoples kids wont kill youbut honestly, Id rather not risk it.

A baby shower game requested everyone write parenting advice on a notecard, so I wrote down my favorite margarita recipe.
I love being a single mom and putting a positive spin on everything that sucks!
The most magical day of my life was when I became a mother. A close second is the day I became a mother whose kid moved out of her house.
A Poem to My Son
