Toddler accidentally hits me in the face with a book.
Me: “Oof, that hurt a bit. Can you say sorry?”
Her: “Sorry, book.”— Martha Hampson (@marthie) August 9, 2019
Toddler “accidentally” dropped her bowl of cereal. As I shamefully bow down to my knees and wipe up her mess, the toddler looks at me, picks up the bowl, with a flick of the wrist spills the remains. She does this every once in a while to let me know she’s still in charge.

My toddler accidentally punched me in the eye but then cuz I cried out in pain she thought it would be fun to intentionally punch me in the other eye and so I’m cancelling today’s parenting plans.

kids are brutal. This little girl I help at the elementary school asked to see a photo of my boyfriend, when I told her I didn’t have one she LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN and said “I see why”. but how’s your day going.

My daughter just accidentally dropped her snotty tissue into my coffee and if that’s not a metaphor for parenting I don’t know what is.

5: Even you?
Me: Yep
5: Oh yeah! Like when you’re trying to cook food that tastes good but then it doesn’t?— Lurkin’ Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) April 15, 2016
2y.o eating his lunch: “Papa’s coffee hot?”
Me: “Yeah baby it’s hot, don’t touch.”
2y.o: “Me blow on it for Papa?”
It was at this point I witnessed with horror, my 2y.o attempt to blow on my freshly made coffee, only to spit a half eaten chicken nugget straight into it..

12 year old I babysit just poured chocolate milk on my head b/c I wouldn’t let her eat jellybeans for lunch. Never having kids.

Every time I have baby fever I flashback to when my baby sister shoved her poo in my mouth and I thought it was chocolate because she previously had a chocolate bar in her hand 😭

Mom holding crying baby: He just needs to be changed.
Me: Yeah hopefully into a puppy or something quieter.— The Volatile Mermaid (@OhNoSheTwitnt) July 5, 2015
It’s cute when a non-parent person sees a kid screaming and says, “That’s why I don’t want kids.” Lol. They have no clue
