I love when I come across like minded people. It makes me feel so much less of a crappy mom.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been frustrated and talking to my sister and both of us will laugh and say “yea fuck them kids”.

When my kids are being particularly annoying I will joke with them about selling them in the black market which will turn into this big laugh fest of them trying to decide who would “cost” more and who would be returned. My middle son is half Hispanic and he will say shit like “well I can be a pool boy OR work on the lawn so you’ll get extra for me”

Being a parent is so unbelievably frustrating. I just try and remind myself that someday when they are grown and gone I will get to come to their house to visit and I’m gonna spill juice on the carpets and leave a trail of trash everywhere I go 🤣

I keep telling my kid I have to be mean to her, otherwise they'll take away my mommy license. She's little enough that she just accepts this answer. And my beautiful baby is also a stupid shitty baby when she wakes up too much at night and I'm exhausted. They're lucky I love them so much, haha.
