Well, that escalated quickly
Wait, why didn’t I think of this?
My dog (who is terrified of the smoke detector) has started getting visibly anxious when I start to cook. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Since September is back-to-school season, we reached out to Vicki Broadbent, mother of three, award-winning TV broadcaster, and the woman behind the popular family lifestyle blog Honest Mum, to learn more about this period.
"The transition from summer to the new school year is usually a shock for all of the family," she told Bored Panda. "We've gone from a more relaxed routine during summer, often with more time with our children to greater structure ... , [with] earlier bedtimes and often moody children who struggle initially to adapt to change (we as parents are likely to be moody too)."
Of course, everyone's different, but Broadbent said, "It usually takes four weeks or so to form new habits, so before you know it, you and your children will be thriving again by the time the next school holiday arrives and the cycle begins again, albeit less dramatically!"
Well, that escalated quickly
Isn't that the message of Evan Almighty? God gives you the opportunities that produce the gaol of your prayers.
Didn’t See That Coming

Omg is THAT what’s been happening? I mean she’s 25 now and still sleeps through the night but I don’t.
According to a survey from this summer, moms and dads are increasingly worried about many aspects of the back-to-school season—from ensuring that school requirements are met, affecting 49% of parents, to safety and security concerns for 46% of parents.
However, the number one cause of back-to-school stress for 51% of parents is the cost of everything their kids need.
That hit differently than I expected
Wait, this actually works?

Wait, Was That Supposed To Happen?
Vicki Broadbent, author of Mumboss (UK) and The Working Mom (US and Canada), shared her insights on setting the whole family up for success at this time of year.
"I think easing into a routine gradually towards the end of the summer helps my kids not feel so surprised, so bedtimes return to usual more easily as they start going to bed earlier two weeks before," she explained.
This Lowkey Hits Different
Plot twist, but make it relatable
This is how language evolved -- gestures first, sound second, words third. Sez me.
Well, this just happened
Well, that escalated quickly
"If they are starting a new school, we also test the school run, so the walk or drive to school, to assess traffic and timings so we're not rushing in a blind panic on day one," Broadbent added.
"The same goes for assessing the school buses and becoming au fait with the breakfast and after-school clubs. Preparation is key!"
Wait, That Actually Worked?
Plot twist, but make it cozy
Got me nodding hard
Wait, That Actually Makes Sense
The mom said she balances school routines by using a shared online diary with her husband and her own mom, who helps them with childcare when it comes to their toddler.
Coordinating everything takes effort, but it can go a long way. "Knowing which clubs the children have and when helps us all to become organized and share the physical and mental load."
"We 'job share' so to speak, so I will usually drop the kids off at school in the morning, and my husband will collect them in the early evening if they don't catch the school bus," Broadbent said.
Wait, did I just relate to that?
You can get a good five days out of one pair if you rotate them right. Look at my name..... I know.
Oops, Didn’t See That Coming
I actually loved oranges as a kid, because I could put the skin in my mouth and pretend I had a goofy smile.
Wait, that’s oddly specific
Well, that escalated quickly
And you being ashamed because of it is part of the problem. Just explain it's no string cheese, maybe open it to show - and suddenly there's one more human on earth who doesn't shudder when anything period related happens.
Since Vicki's work allows some flexibility, she takes on more of the parental responsibility when it comes to school admin, and her husband does more of the cooking during the week. "Communication is key," she said. "If you're not keen on a digital diary, consider a wipeable board stuck on the fridge where you add key dates and update shopping lists."
And if you feel like something's off, remember—parents on X are always there with funny and relatable posts to remind you that you're not alone!
Wait, I needed this yesterday
Yeah, I Definitely Needed That Reminder
Plot twist, but make it relatable
Child just reminds you when you whine about your "insomnia" again tomorrow, that's where it might come from
Well, that\'s unexpectedly relatable
Can’t unsee this one
Didn’t Know I Needed This Today
Plot twist, but make it relatable

Lol - The nickname and that words from her child perfectly go together 😂😂

Oh come on, just sing an octave lower when it gets too high and when you sing to your kids without electronic devices (except looking up the lyris) you set your own pitch, anyway. Or doesn't anyone do that anymore?

I’ve left the house twice in the last 2 and a half weeks. Once for my mother’s funeral and once to pick my niece up from school. But I don’t think that’s being an introvert, pretty sure it’s mental illness

Another reminder for me that not having kids was the right choice!
Load More Replies...19 month old? Not a parent but at 12 months on just say the age simplier. "Have you met my son, he's 40 months old"
Till 2 yrs the developmental difference is huge. A 12 month old might say a few words and just started walking but a 19 month old is talking your ear off and running around.
