My kids have learned that if they leave the dinner table for even a minute, they tell me specifically not to touch their food.
Because girls are so gentle and quiet?…. have… have you met the…. everything? Kids. Kids are exhausting. All the moms are tired. Dads too. Parents are exhausted. Children are exhausting. The fact this bitch has on jewelry and wants to talk shit about kids. Bitch, my earlobes would be gone if I had earrings on right now.
The only road trips we do is the hour to the coast. That was the only time she has been into a gas station and she still asks about the Snack Store.
I especially love the absolute chaos of a daycare performance. Ours has each class sing a christmas song and someone in each class is usually crying. There’s a ‘graduation’ ceremony and the parents are even more fun to watch. I hide because the toddlers are SO confused about how their parents are there but won’t come get them.
We totally kept both our kids umbilical cords. Originally this comic had a Predator in the last panel but I figured flowers and sunshine was creepier.
Now it’s tradition to get hot coco when we go to the doctors office. And those chocolate muffins are pretty much a huge slice of cake. Hospital Cafe’s are the best.
Because society has clearly told mothers that it’s THEIR job to get everyone ready and out the door (or fed or packed) and their own needs come as an afterthought. Obby is still trying to figure out why I’m trailing after everyone because my own shoes aren’t on and my own bag isn’t with me. I do this with dinner too. Everyone is halfway through dinner and I’m still getting my own drink and cutlery. Because I spend all my time getting everyone else’s shoes and drinks and food. I just need to communicate clearly to the other grownups around me what needs to get done and stop thinking I’m the only one who can do everything. Just because society says I can do everything on my own, doesn’t mean I have to.
