Let’s be honest – if you’re a parent these days, you’re probably in need of at least a little break. A cup of coffee that hasn’t been reheated three times, kids who can go five minutes without screaming “mom!” or “look at this!”
Sounds lovely, right?

12. That toddler is all of us right now.
Honestly, every single day.
Sorry I can't make it, I asked my toddler if he wanted help putting on his shoes he answered "yes I don't"

11. They wanted to be on top of the heap.
And there they are.
My kids are my everything. I mean this literally–they've methodically broken all of my personal belongings over the past four and a half years.

10. We all go a little crazy sometimes.
It’s understandable.
Anyone ever get the urge to bust into your kids’ room, rip the PS4 out of the wall while they’re mid-match, throw it out into the street & run it over with your car multiple times?

9. As much as it takes to survive any given day.
Go ahead and judge me.
Took my son to the eye doctor & was asked how much screen time I allow.
Are you kidding me? It’s 2020. There’s your answer.

8. Why do they hate sleep?
One day they will love it and we will have our revenge.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me between 2 and 50 times and you’re my 5yo getting out of bed at night.

6. I don’t see any reason to fight it.
Losing battle, that one.
My home decor can best be described as "kids live here"

Why on earth?

4. You have to at least act innocent.
I don’t make the rules.
Parenting is a whole lot of, “Where did you hear that?!” Knowing full well it was you. They heard it from you.

3. We’re all bored, okay?
Just raise your eyebrows and move on.

2. Half the time you’re not even thinking about it.
It just needs to disappear.
Every mother has consumed that soggy, half-eaten cookie that’s been manhandled by a toddler because there’s literally no garbage can in sight.

1. Put me in, Coach.
The toddler moms of the world have got this.
I’m the parent of a toddler, hell yeah I can moderate a presidential debate
