We hope that you will see these as proof that mums and dads everywhere are all in the same boat.

Kids sure know how to keep life interesting.

Picked up my kid from a play date and the other mom told me how amazing, polite, helpful and well behaved my child was, it was worrisome she didn’t know which kid was mine but I asked if I could take the one she described home with me instead

I was a terrible mother today and told my teens I hate them. Well what I really said was, ‘it’s raining so you might need an umbrella’ but apparently it’s the same thing

Easy mistake to make. I made one today too. Mine asked for a strawberry yoghurt so I gave him a strawberry yoghurt but the yoghurt I gave him was strawberry. I hope we have both learnt from our mistakes.

Reasons My Toddler Cried Tonight included:

-he wanted me to cut his toast and so I did and then he lost all semblance of composure because I did not realize I was supposed to cut just the TOAST, not the JAM

Sometimes even when you win, you lose.

Spoiled my daughter with new shoes and books and took her and her friends shopping and to dinner for her 12th birthday.

Two boys from her school sent her a video of them singing, “Happy Birthday.” She messaged back, “best birthday gift ever.” I feel my status might be slipping.

Last weekend my 6-year-old was upset because she was nervous about her swim meet, so I told her if she could find some confidence and do it, I would throw a pie in her dad’s face the second he got home. That child swam like an Olympian. Follow me for more motivational tools. pic.twitter.com/HczAaZrfyB
