My daughter woke up at 6:06 today instead of her usual 6:00 because we let her stay up 5 hours past her bedtime last night.

Husband and I separately bought the kids the same chocolate lollipops today “for no reason,” which means we secretly stopped at the same chocolate shop, which means we’ll probably give each other the same box of chocolates tomorrow. We’re like a zero-drama Gift of the Magi.

-my soon to be disappointed 7 year old daughter
I was a better parent before I had kids bc I didn’t know about negotiating with a 3yo. Tonight he asked for ice cream, I said “no you had a popsicle” he said “that was a snack, ice cream is dessert” I gave in, I can’t debate the difference between snack and dessert for an hour??

My kids are once again fighting over which side of a Twix is better, the left side or the right side, because kids can argue about anything.

"Do you remember when your mom told me to wake her up from her nap? Was it 7 pm, because it's 11:45 pm now.”
Wanted to see my 10yo so I reset the internet router to bring her out of her lair.
