1. Reward for existing
Couldn’t deny she is so smart. Tell her to clean her room, do the dishes, mop the floors, and wash the windows, and then you’ll give her ice cream as compensation for her existence. That should solve it.

4. He is a clever one
Scared his mom and dad might eat his Easter candy without him knowing, the smart 6-year-old makes careful plans to keep it safe.

“Yo Mama” jokes. And the best part? They are both amazed every time they remember they have the same mother. Well, at least they’re keeping the family tree straight, one roast at a time.

The 7-year-old returns home with newfound wisdom about not clicking on unfamiliar links. Why? Well, according to her, you could end up with a fungus! Who knew the internet could be so hazardous to your health?
7. Which is what really matters
If only they knew the mess and fun waiting behind closed doors – toys everywhere and sudden dance parties in the living room. It’s like a storm of mess and giggles, all hidden away behind those closed doors.
8. You would have been proud
9. Another solid alpha move
Want to show your kids who’s boss? Just whine louder than them. It’s the secret weapon of parenting—take charge by turning up the volume on your own whine.

Trying to keep the house clean and stop the kids from using screens? Sorry, Karen, you can’t do both! When you’re a parent, you have to choose your fights carefully.

13. Well now you know
@johntwoods: It’s like that, isn’t it? When you’re a kid, you chase pigeons, scare squirrels. But then you become an adult. And you look into the eyes of a squirrel, & see your own up-at-dawn pride-swallowing-siege of a life staring back at you. You have empathy. You give him a treat instead.
14. And she’d still get responses
15. So accurate
When kids keep talking at bedtime, it’s like those annoying marketing emails that keep showing up even after you’ve unsubscribed from them.

16. It is an art
When it comes to emptying the trash, teenagers have a unique skill. Instead of taking it out when it’s full, they’ll keep cramming more garbage into it until it’s overflowing. It’s like a game to see how much they can fit in there without having to do the chore of actually taking it out.
17. How dare you
@FollowMeImSara: My kid once got mad because it was Monday and she wanted it to be Tuesday. We argued back and forth until I told her: “I think I can make it be Tuesday but it will take a few hours.” Mind you, nothing special happens on Tuesday.

20. He’ll remember this for the rest of his life
He’ll forgive you until the moment you mess up again and then you’re back in the doghouse and it all resurfaces.
