Listen, I don’t know about y’all, but this mama could use a laugh (and another cup of coffee). I’m pretty funny (and so are my kids) but sometimes I just want someone else to take on making me laugh, you know?
If you’re feeling like you just want to sit back and be entertained by other people’s kids (and other people’s messes), good news – these 14 parents are up to the challenge.
14. I sense Stockholm Syndrome coming on.
Is that why kids are so cute?
13. This is a sick burn.
Sometimes you’ve just got to tell it like it is.

11. At least the rest of the store was entertained.
As long as they have a sense of humor, I mean.

I want to squeeze her, because she’s right.

Some people can be so cruel and insensitive.
