I asked a police recruit during an exam, “What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?”
He said, “Call for backup.”
"My mum just bought our cat a Christmas stocking even tho we are muslims and don't even celebrate Christmas?? She was like "We don't know what religion he is we can't force him to be muslim" he's a cat?!?!"
A kid asks his dad, “What’s a man?” The dad says, “A man is someone who is responsible and cares for their family.” The kid says, “I hope one day I can be a man just like mom!”
"Asked to switch seats on the plane because I was sitting next to a crying baby. Apparently, that's not allowed if the baby is yours."
When your mom’s voice is so loud, even your neighbors brush their teeth and get dressed.
Silence is golden. Unless you have kids, then silence is suspicious.
I feel that way about my dog and cats. Chances are I'm right to be suspicious!
"My 4YO fell off his scooter, and before I could help him, he stood up, dusted off, and whispered to himself, “shake it off big dawg.”
I’ve never been more confused about whether something was a parenting win or fail."
Daughter: Mom, I need my personal space!
Mom: You came out of my personal space.
You know you’re a mom when you understand why Mama Bear’s porridge was too cold.
Kid: What’s for dinner?
Mom: Food.
Kid: What kind?
Mom: The kind you eat.

Absolutely 100%. Seems like everyone disagrees with this now.
Mom’s recipe for iced coffee:
Have kids. Make coffee. Forget you made coffee. Put it in the microwave. Forget you put it in the microwave. Drink it cold.
*In Mary Poppin’s voice* “Kids, time to go!”
15 minutes later… *Christian Bale’s Batman voice* “I said, let’s go.”
"Good luck robbing my house. My home security system is LEGOs on the floor."
Pretty painful..up there with the little-toe caught on a chair in the dark and bumping your fore-head on the corner of a kitchen cabinet...
“I’ve conquered a lot of things… blood clots in my lungs — twice, knee and foot surgeries, winning Grand Slams being down match point, to name just a few. But I found out by far the hardest is figuring out a stroller!” - Serena Williams
"At my daughter’s 4-year checkup, the doctor said she should be eating a varied diet and to make sure she’s eating a good amount from each food group and I think she said a bit about trying new foods but not sure cause I got distracted wondering if she’d ever actually met a 4yo."
We had a see-through candy bowl with pretty colored single wrapped candies, When the kids were little, you got a piece after dinner for trying everything on your plate. It was stressed, you don't have to like it - just try it. Unsurprisingly, they liked more foods by trying more foods. Worked for us, might not work for everybody although squash is still a serious no-go.
“I just watched my child individually pick off and eat every sprinkle on the donut I gave her. She has the patience for that, but can’t wait 30 seconds for me to pee by myself."
Nothing is really lost until Mom can’t find it.
I seriously don't get it. I can't remember my damn birthday, but I know where that piece of paper with the stuff on it is
"My daughter is crying because her sister farted and I sprayed air freshener before she had a chance to sniff it. I’m raising savages."
...I wouldn´t bother...with husband and dogs in the house as well...a losing battle..

....but Ma,you told me to get creative when you bought me the sharpies...
"When my kid tells me they got hurt doing exactly what I told them to stop doing so they wouldn’t get hurt, I say, “Oh noooooo…”"
Whoever wrote the song “Easy Like Sunday Morning” did not have kids.
I've found it's just easiest to make Sunday everyone's day off. Cookies for breakfast? Sure. Don't want to wear pants or even underwear? Knock yourself out (unless we have company or we're going somewhere; then pants and underwear are not an option 😁)
"My kids are never better friends than when it’s 30 minutes past bedtime, and they won’t stop giggling."
"My mom once asked me to close the patio door because I was "letting the WiFi out."
“I love to play hide-and-seek with my kid, but some days my goal is to find a hiding place where he can’t find me until after high school.”
"My 4yo grabbed the egg off my egg and cheese sandwich, put it on her plate, took a bite of it, and then grabbed the rest in her hand, squeezed it shut, and handed it back to me saying she didn’t want it anymore. And this... THIS is why I can’t have nice things."
Aaaaand THIS is why I don’t want children lmao (please don’t hate it’s just my personal opinion sorry not all moms etc)
Just one of many reasons. Don't let anyone guilt you into having kids if you don't want them.
Load More Replies...I'm good with cleaning up pee, poop, vomit, blood even (worked in cafe's and bars). I don't have a weak stomach. I'll have a bite of whatever is offered even after you've been eating it yourself. A drink from a cup that's been used is not something I like, but I will have a sip if you insist. All fine and well. But if it's been in a small kids hand, I don't care if they were washed 2 minutes prior, no thank you ma'am. I'd rather starve. My sister licks her babies hands when there's drool, sloppy cookie leftovers and whatnot (probably a lot of snot) on them. She is a braver woman than I'll ever be. I gag seeing her do it. I wouldn't even finish a cookie after my then-toddlers had taken a bite of it
One of my rules was that kids don't take food from someone else's plate ever.
Comedian Elaine Boosler said the following: my friends ask why I don't have kids, thought about it, I'm sticking with my dogs; they come when I call, do what I ask and die in their teens.
What the hell does she mean "she squeezed it shut"? Squeezed shut an egg? Wtf?
Closed her hand tight with the egg in it and gave it back? At least she didn't take any out of her mouth and gave that back - like my daughter and son both did when they were little.
Load More Replies...Asked how I lose weight, well I have a small child that takes great pleasure and I do mean he literally laughs as he grabs my food and runs off to eat it.
I have a thing about NOBODY touches my food. Including my child. Things wud noted well my child
"I always thought I’d be a patient mom, but I don’t like who I become 30 seconds into my son’s guided tour of his Minecraft village."
“No one told me I would be coming home in diapers, too.” - Chrissy Teigen
"I don’t want to sleep like a baby. I want to sleep like my husband."
I want to sleep like my wife. She's out cold (and snoring) less than a minute after her head hits the pillow. She doesn't hear a thing unless it's as loud as an explosion. I can lay there for 1 to 2-1/2 hours before falling asleep. Any little sound and I'm up and wide awake again. If I hear a song within two hours of going to bed, I'm singing the song in my mind for an hour. Sometimes I even switch to another song. lol
Me: here’s your toast sweetie.
7yo: did you toast it for 28 seconds?
Me:

"Overheard my 8yo tell his little sister that when she’s older she’ll grow a baby in her tummy like mummy did and she was quiet for a minute and then said no she wouldn’t because when she grows up she’ll be a starfish."
If at first you don’t succeed… try doing it the way Mom told you to in the beginning.
“The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for 30 years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.” - Calvin Trillin
Remarkable indeed...my mother used us kids as guine-pigs for her ideas of Health-food ! We all have good teeth though but an aversion to cilantro...
"My teen is mad at me and it could be because of any number of horrible things I did this morning: stood in the kitchen, poured coffee, stared out the window, said good morning, breathed..."
Well, if you commit so many crimes it is no wonder she is mad...try kissing her good-by.. and she´ll go ballistic !

Me: well that's what happened to your older brother.
8yo: what older brother?
Me: exactly!

"I’m just a mom, standing in front of my husband, trying to say something that I can no longer remember because our kids interrupted us 175 times."
“Mom, are bugs good to eat?” asked the boy. “Let’s not talk about such things at the dinner table, son,” his mother replied. After dinner, the mother asked, “Now, baby, what did you want to ask me?” “Oh, nothing,” the boy said. “There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone.”
What is a jumper?
Something you wear when your mother gets cold.
Also coats. I do not have children but I have many memories of having to wear coats ALL THE TIME. Even in the middle of summer during a heatwave.
"Hey if you could spare a prayer for my 2-year-old right now, his granola bar wrapper was pulled down slightly too low and it’s unclear if a recovery from this is possible."
Son: Mom, can I get $20?
Mom: Does it look like I’m made of money?
Son: Well, isn’t that what M.O.M stands for?
Mommy: Mommy will think about it!
Narrator: Mommy never thought about it. She knew it was ‘no’ all along and just wanted everyone to STFU.

Just wait. Once they're a teen you'll be lucky if they speak in proper sentences to you 😜
"In the middle of the millionth meltdown of the day, my 5yo said “I’m just so frustrating” (instead of “frustrated”) and I’ve never agreed with her more."
Never doubt a mother! She can carry a screaming toddler, two gallons of milk, talk on her cell phone, and still shoot you daggers for looking at her crazy.
“Twelve years later the memories of those nights, of that sleep deprivation, still make me rock back and forth a little bit. You want to torture someone? Hand them an adorable baby they love who doesn’t sleep.” - Shonda Rhimes

Night Mom: Tomorrow, I’m going to get up early before all of the kids, pack their lunches, go for a run, cook a healthy breakfast, and enjoy 20 minutes of silent ‘me time.'
Morning Mom: Hahahahahaha. Nice try.
Why is it that kids can get up at OMG hours at the crack of Dawn and be as bright as a button, most days, but on a school day, they can't drag their tails out of bed to save their lives. And the day is half gone already. I told my kids one morning at 7 am that, "Come on guys, school is half over." They were up and dressed really fast and sitting at the breakfast table before 7:15. Trouble is, it only worked once.
"At my age I’m no longer a snack; I’m a Happy Meal. I come with toys and kids."

"Hey, parents of an only child considering having one more, know that I just split an M&M in half.
An M&M.
In half."

8 year old me: I'm bored.
Mom: I can make you not bored. how bout you clean these dishes.
8 year old me: I'm going to go play outside.
I don't suggest things for my kids to do. My rule is that boredom never killed anyone, but whining about it just might!
My nickname is Mom. But my full name is “Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom.”
I recently disclosed to my 3yo that my name is, in fact, not "Mom." He doesn't believe me.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Yo mama.
Yo mama who?
Yo mama who knows you didn’t throw out the garbage like I asked you to.
True story...my 6 year old met my parents next door neighbor,mr.Lindholm carrying the garbage bag in his hand....mr.Lindholm what ARE you doing !!? ...Mr Lindholm re-enters his appartment and says to his wife..I met jonas and he said that it was embarrassing for me to take the garbage out...wife agrees and from then on pays 10cent for each garbage bag taken out....paid work,dignified.....

Remember when you first became a parent. And everything was so terrifying? Now you watch your kid lick the grocery cart and you don’t even break a sweat.
Is there any way to file a temporary restraining against a toddler? Just like 24 hours, maybe two days tops. Asking for a friend.
I love my kids. Not enough to flip the fish sticks halfway through cooking, but I love them.
Before having kids, every mom thinks she’ll be a super-chill mom. That’s because, at that point, we had no idea they’d break all our stuff, make ridiculous demands, and take roughly 10 years to get out of the car.
Yeah I’d be the coolest mom ever if my kids were the coolest kids ever. Otherwise, we all just a bunch of humans 😂 frustration is normal

"I think my teen finally got cold today because he left for school wearing a long sleeve Christmas sweater with his shorts."

"My favorite thing my daughter says to me every single day is "when you die I'm going to get all your money. Have a good sleep."

I heard one yesterday in a super market "mom why are you always so stubborn?" - "where do you think you got it from?"
Seriously though, put your phone down and take an interest in your kid(s). Give them a bedtime earlier than they really need and let them talk to you for 15 minutes or a half an hour putting off going to bed. Take 10 minutes a day listening to them as if you’re trying to impress someone else by how attentive you are. Praise them. It is literally now my job to assist kids with extreme behavioral problems and most of the time it’s because their parents are critical and checked out.
