My toddler has now chewed up and spit out five "grapes" because he's never heard of an olive and won't listen to reason.

Parenting 101 when your kids are sick:
1.) Kids have common cold.
2.) Kids sneeze on you as you care for them.
3.) Three days later, kids are better but you and your spouse now have Ebola.

Me, every time my kids ask for anything in the month of December.

I’ve done nothing in life that matters to my daughter because I haven’t been in one of the 10000 scooby doo movies

Yesterday:

My 4yo and me built a Frozen gingerbread house, painted pictures, played 2 games, went to the park, played house, cooked dinner together and then watched a movie.

What she tells her teacher we did yesterday:

"I picked up a dead bug and mommy yelled at me."

Sorry I’m late. I had to pick all the marshmallows out of my kid’s Lucky Charms.

My son has told our Google Mini that it’s his birthday 12 times in a row so it can keep singing “Happy Birthday” to him.

It’s not his birthday, & technology doesn’t always make life easier.

I forgot to thaw the beef roast so it looks like we are having hot dogs and disappointment for dinner.
