12. Now you have to eat it.
And that’s why we’re all fat.

11. Procrastination at its finest.
She’ll learn one day. Or she won’t.
I remind my teen daughter to brush her teeth, style her hair, change her outfit 4 times, bake homemade banana bread, finish a 4 page assignment, and text 12 friends by telling her we are leaving in 2 minutes.

Your carpets are surely going to suffer, though.
The new vacuum cleaner says not to operate while tired, so guess I’m waiting until the kids grow up and move out

8. There have to be some perks of being the adult.

4. Role reversal can be a great teaching tool.

Hope he didn’t get stuck in that wet paint.
My friends daughters hamster has been missing and feared dead for almost 2 weeks now.
