Meanwhile my kid is busy infiltrating every camp, birthday party, and theatre performance when we're at the park.

I am glad your wife let you live to tell the story.😂

You forgot to censor the logo (sarcasm :P) 🙄

My friends complained of boredom, they ended up washing down walls

My sister calls me old and I am 2 and a half years older then her, not old at all

Cool!

The real optimism is when the parent brings a book.

Yeah that is really crazy. None of the fall middle/high school sports started until mid August when I was growing up.

My sweet summer child, let me disabuse you of that notion right now. In 1975, someone was indeed selling rocks. And Americans happily bought them. PET-ROCK-6...ab0a4b.jpg

You forgot the “MUUUUM!! YOU WERE’NT WATCHING! I’ll do it again…” and repeat

LOL, love it

Fr though, that's a problem

Try serving hay tossed with a little ranch dressing.

Can i join (the Lego fire)

I've never understood why some parents hate the school hols. Apart from those having to find extra childcare, I mean...but I love not getting up at the crack of dawn to make sandwiches and hustling the kiddies out of bed when I didn't want to get up myself. Much more civilised to get up at 8 and have a slower morning. Also, I love having my kids around, they're so much fun 💗

Lol, next thing you know they'll come running inside panicking about missing the bus

Hahaha, this is relatable. Lol

Maybe they keep asking weird questions that you can't answer, so you feel as if you know nothing.

I feel the same way except I’m the kid who’s bored and “surfing the web” for stuff to do after my usual stuff

When kids are quiet...

Watch "Risky Business", and do everything that you wife won't kill you for! lol

OK, but your kid stole that idea from my spouse.

that means it was a good vacation, that’s how i feel, and i’m a teen!

My kid doesn't need a mom so much as any object that can field the question "can i have a popsicle" being asked 47 times a day.

That's enough money to buy like 2 whole ice creams!

It's like the opposite of a mime. One surprises you because there's no narration, the other surprises you because the narration never stops.

Ohhh, wicked!! ;-}

TURN UP THE MUSIC TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS

I did but I had Nutella right after….

Pinecones are cool tho ;-;

Stones. Mine brings home stones

I walked into my daughter's old room a few months ago to start getting it ready to convert into my office (she's am adult and moved out over a year ago), flipped on the fan, amd a pinecone came flying at my head. She had somehow managed to get it balanced on top of the fan blade. IT'S BEEN THERE FOR 2+ YEARS AND NO ONE NOTICED! I'm still in awe of the fact that her 5' tall self somehow managed to figure out how to get it up there. I haven't processed this enough yet to want to know *why* it was up there, however. I'm just thankful that it wasn't one of the glitter coated ones.

mine loves rocks...

OMG! We lived in San Diego for 10 years and there was a street a few blocks away where these dropped. I collected BAGS of them. Perfect for holiday decorations.

Not so much anymore. Nowadays it's stones and sticks. My youngest, who is 6, had his backpack filled with stones right before the summer, and he couldn't figure out why the backpack was so heavy...!? 🤷‍♀️😆😂 The sticks will become a project later on 😄👍

Im 40 and still do

Neato

And rocks. Endless rocks

Wait i still do that 😅 my mum puts them in the little fireplace we dont use as decoration

No, but I did! Fall DIY projects, my friend!

Or every walk?

;-), :-}}}!! Funny!

Why do you need a clothes dryer in summer?

Y'all quit hating on the term "swimming costumes"! It's means the same as swimsuit!

Tequila, I don't think you are Kronos... lol
