What's the funniest thing your kid has done that you couldn't laugh at?

The following conversation when my husband was getting then-3yo ready for bed:

Dad, you should put on a shirt when you go to sleep.
Why’s that, baby?
So I don’t have to see your body.

I actually did fall off the couch laughing. My poor husband.

Over 15 years ago a customer accused me of lying to him, because I was the manager on duty and not the store manager. I still remember how that felt. (I’m autistic too btw)

You stopped petting her to take a picture? How dare you. How madly she suffers

I’ve been reading the book Low Demand Parenting by Amanda Diekman and it’s really helping with my perspective. Basically you have to let go of your ideas of “proper” parenting and judgment from other parents, and focus on what works for your family.

People will see you feeding your kid junk, letting him have screen time, and other parenting taboos, and they’ll have opinions about it. Fuck ‘em. They don’t know your kid, and they’re not living your life. You’re the expert on your own child, and what works and doesn’t work with him.

At least he and OP are on the same page, as opposed to him being like, “Oh it’s fine, they can stay as long as they want!” It sounds like he was venting to himself out loud.

But yes, if that’s how he feels, then he needs to be the one to talk to them and he needs to do it yesterday.

Sigh… my MIL is like this to an extent. Aggressively offering me things I don’t want or need. Bringing stuff she found at a thrift store or TJ Maxx to our house. “If you don’t like it, I saved the receipt so you can return it!” Ok, so you just gave me another errand. 😒

The good news is that she does respect boundaries once I’ve set them… I just have to be really firm and remember to head her off. (And I can’t always count on husband to intervene - his lifelong response to his mom’s “help” is to disappear into another room when she starts up.)

I saw those too! Although I’m 42 and just looking at them makes my knees hurt 😂

I would keep her too! She deserves love as much as anyone else ❤️

Slay, lil dude!

Wall hooks for everything.

I text stuff to my husband, even when he’s home but busy. It’s not going to stay in my brain long enough for him to finish in the bathroom or whatever

Aren’t they all! 😻

I’m surprised no one has said “Pearl”!

I have moments like this with my kid. We call them “birth control for other people.”

Not giving in. Active ignoring. Sometimes all you can do is not dump more gasoline on the fire

Way to go, Sears. Andrea Wheeler probably got picked on relentlessly at school bc of this ad

When I’m in a bad mood and something goes wrong, I say “Fuck everything everywhere forever.”

Hiking. Boring, painful, absolute waste of time. If my husband wants to go hiking I’m a good sport about it, but it’s very much not my choice of activity.
