Parents Have Their Say
After the cute comments from children last week, this list shows comments from their long-suffering parents:
- Waking your kids up for school the first day after a break is almost as much fun as birthing them was.
- Parenting is yelling ‘you just had a snack!’ over and over until you give in and throw them another snack.
- The easiest way to shop with kids is not to.
- “Hello, my daughter will be late to school because she can now zip her jacket by herself.”
- If you’re old enough to criticise what I put in your lunch, you’re old enough to make it yourself.
- 90% of parenting is just thinking about when you can lie down again.
- My kid is turning out just like me. Well played, karma. Well-played.
- Recipe for Iced Coffee
- Have kids
- Make coffee
- Forget you made coffee
- Drink it cold
- You know you’re old when you barely do anything all day but still need a nap to continue doing barely anything.
- When I tell my kids I’ll do something in a minute, what I’m really saying is “Please forget”
- When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they’re finished, I climb out.
- A two-year old is like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.
- If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?
- Becoming a mum means that you have accepted that for the next 16 years of your life, you will have a sticky handbag.
- I used to have functioning brain cells, but I traded them in for children
- I love cleaning up messes I didn’t make. So I became a mum.
- I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.
- There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or ask your kids not to do it.
- Nothing is really lost until mum can’t find it.
- The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.
- Did you know, when kids go to bed, you can hear yourself think again? I sound fabulous.
- A holiday frequently means that the family goes away for a rest, accompanied by mother, who sees that the others get it.
- Motherhood is like Albania–you can’t trust the descriptions in the books, you have to go there.
- Motherhood: Powered by love. Fuelled by coffee. Sustained by wine.
