My co-workers often ask what it’s like to be a parent. It’s hard to describe the feeling of being tired and unwell, ready to collapse on the couch, while a miniature version of yourself is yelling “Daddy, I need a sandwich!”

My 8yo read his little sister a bedtime story tonight and they both loved it. It was so sweet seeing them together and watching them having fun reading. I think I might have a couple of bookworms on my hands and I couldn’t be happier!

My kid sure has plenty of confidence. It seems like every time I run into one of the other parents at school, they’re telling me that my son has asked if he can have a play date with their kid.

My 4yo drew a family picture. She’d drawn herself next to mommy, then her brother and sister beside them. When I asked where I was, she said “I didn’t have any space left for you!” I can understand there’s limited space, but I’m surprised I was ousted in favour of her imaginary sister.

I told my 4yo to get a tissue to clean off her runny nose and she said “actually, sometimes I don’t want to wash my boogers!”

My 4yo is pretending to be a shopkeeper at a shoe store and her 8yo brother is the customer. He’s short on cash, so she’s offering to sell him each shoe separately. Now that’s how a business ensures they get repeat customers.

You know you've got a problem when your 8yo calls you out for the amount of browser tabs you've got open

I asked my 4yo if she wanted to eat a cheesy wrap. She said yes, so I went to the kitchen and made one for her. When I tried to give her the wrap, she said “No! I don’t want it!” Where did I go wrong?

I was coming home from work and when I got off the bus, I saw my wife bringing the kids home from after school daycare. I started running to catch up to them. My 4yo daughter saw me running and started running to me.

I bought my kid a piano keyboard for Christmas because I thought it’d be fun for him to learn an instrument. Little did I know, it has a sound effects option, so that’s all he wants to play! He’s got horses, cows, trains and sirens, all blaring at high volume.

My kid was asking me if peanuts grew on trees. I said that most nuts grow on trees, but peanuts grow underground. He was absolutely blown away and started laughing uncontrollably. After a moment, he regained his composure and said “Gee! What a kneeslapper!” Who knew peanuts were so hilarious?

The highlight this Christmas has been my kid getting a toy which makes fart noises when you go near it. I unwittingly walked past it, with the toy making a long squishy sound, and my kid said “oooo that sounded juicy!”

I think I know what my 4yo is getting me for Christmas! It’s sick. She’s getting me sick.

My 4yo was building a house out of magnatiles. It’s got 2 parking spaces, 2 bedrooms, a large living room, spacious bathroom, and a built-in unicorn store.

I picked up my toddler and gave her a big hug. She smiled back at me and said “Daddy, I farted on you.”

My 3yo was struggling to put her shirt on, so I told her she was very capable and she said “no, you’re cakeable!” Is she gonna turn me into a cake?

My 8yo has his friend over for a play date and I’m not convinced I’ve heard the word “bro” this many times in my life

I asked my daughter if she had a good day at kindergarten and she said “yeah, I didn’t yell at anyone!” Sounds like everyone else had a good day too!

There’s a daily battle to get my kids out the door for school. They don’t want to get their shoes on. I have to convince them that the temperature is below freezing to get their jackets on. They’re suddenly possessed by the irresistible urge to dance.

I taught my kid every dance move I know and that's why he's a terrible dancer as well

My 3yo is playing restaurant with me and she’s asking me what I want to eat. She grabbed a few toys to use as food options she’d cook and here’s what’s on offer: 1. Triceratops 2. Police officer 3. Sprinkles 4. Antibiotics

My 2yo thinks not wearing shoes or socks is called “doing bear feet” because bears don’t wear shoes. DO NOT EXPLAIN TO HER SHE IS WRONG EVER.

My kid finished his weekend homework on a Thursday, therefore making me look like a great parent, so I needed to tell everyone about it because I may never experience this high again.

I tried offering my 3yo some carrot slices. I even called them carrot chips to make them sound more enticing. She was not fooled by my shenanigans and will not be eating any carrots.

We went to a theme park today and walked past one of the games. My kid said “Oh, I know that game! It’s a scam!” I don’t know how he knew that, but I’m sure he was right.

If my 3yo were to stop eating blueberries, I’m not sure the blueberry industry would recover. She eats so many of them that she’s gotta be responsible for 90% of their profits.

There’s no such thing as a quick trip to the playground for a preschooler. It’s their favourite place in the world, so you’re in for the long haul.

Kid 1 is playing pretend with a toy campfire set; he cut up a log and placed four pieces in a frame and placed the flames in the center. Kid 2 went to scout camp this summer, so I asked, “Kid 2, any tips for Kid 1 as he builds the fire?” “Yeah,” says Kid 2, “Don’t put your hands in the fire”

It’s important to note that your child’s energy levels will spike around 10 minutes before bedtime. They can sense it’s time for calm and want none of that!

My 2yo is in a big bed now and this morning my husband, 5yo and I were cuddling in our bed when, for the first time, we heard her open her own door. Then we heard pat pat pat and she appeared in the doorway, smiling, we all cheered, she ran, jumped in bed. Probably my best moment of parenting so far
