My 6yo was upset this morning but refused to talk about it. As she was being dropped off at school, she decided to speak up by saying and I quote, “I go to school too much, and it bothers me.”
Marriage tip: If your wife says it’s ok for you to go out on a guys night while she stays with the kids, bring back something juicy for her to enjoy and feast on, like gossip.
My 6yo is upset with my wife and I and promised to never talk to us ever again because we were both ignoring her as she was talking to us. At 6AM. While we were both still sleeping.
My kids saw mail I received that was addressed to me as “Mr.” and then my 9yo asked “Why do you have a mister in front of your name? I didn’t know you were an important person.”
Marriage AND Parenting tip: If your wife says it’s ok for you to go out on a guys night while she stays with the kids, bring back something juicy for her to enjoy and feast on, like gossip.
You’re welcome
My wife banned iPads from my kids so my sweet angels stood in the hallway where they thought I couldn’t hear and whispered “Let’s ask dad because he always let us and then we can blame him when mommy asks”.
[9yo won’t eat her Nutella bagel for breakfast]
Me: You’re the only person in the world that doesn’t eat Nutella!
9yo: How would know that?
Me: I know everything.
9yo: Who sang the first song in the world?
Me:
Boys and girls are so different. My girl was reciting the alphabet in full at 18 months, but as for my 2yo son, I’ve had to yell at him 3 times in less than 5 minutes to not deliberately run head first into the load bearing basement post.
“That’s horrible ! I’m never getting married !”
- My 9yo, after I told her my wife and I no longer surprise each other with gifts, we just tell each other what we want
My coworkers refused to believe I made the delicious Potluck lunch dish I brought and they kept claiming my wife did. In keeping with this toxic workplace atmosphere of distrust, I’m not telling them it was store bought.
9yo: Daddy, look at what I found stored in the basement. I think it’s vintage.
Me: It’s called a CD. And It’s not vintage.
9yo: Yes it is. It has a date on it of 2006.
9yo: What’s a New Year’s resolution?
Me: A change you want to make for the new year. Like reading more or spending less time on the iPad.
9yo: Oh OK! My New Year’s resolution will be to spend less time at school.
My 9yo has the stomach bug and has been drained from it. She got hysterical and started crying then said, and I quote, “I’m scared, what if I have diabetes?”
Some of the cool things my 6yo girl has told me about how her day was at school include “I got an award” and “Today, a group of boys were being mean to me and I only made 5 of them cry.”
On my wife's birthday, I washed the dishes, gassed up her car, bought the cake, flowers, and a gift. Things were going well until I realized I left her with the kids all day.
I was on the phone with my parents and I brought up how I’m parenting differently than they did, so they became defensive saying “Well, look how well you turned out” and I heard my wife laughing all the way from Target.
Tucked my kid into bed last night and she was afraid Santa will get her the wrong present. I calmed her down by reminding her Santa only gets mommy’s present wrong.
My wife recently got into a minor car accident with my kids in the car. When I arrived at the scene to check on them, the policeman was super nice and gave my crying kids free ice cream coupons.
He then gave me an attitude when I asked for a coupon too.
[At the hospital]
Nurse: *Walks into the room* How are you feeling this morning?
Me: It was a little rough sleeping here last night but I made it.
My wife: She was talking to me. I had the baby.
My wife and I have been married for 10 years and we no longer feel the need to say “See you later, love you” when either of us leaves the house. Instead, I now say “Try not to miss me” and she responds with “I won’t”.
It’s true love.
My kids and I were complaining when my wife warmed up left-overs for dinner and we took a poll to show her none of us want to eat that, so then we ate left-overs.
[I woke up in the morning and kissed my 2yo on the cheek]
6yo: Why would you do that??
Me: Why not?
6yo: Well, earlier he put his whole head in the toilet.
In case your thinking about having kids, my kid woke me up from a deep sleep on this fine Sunday morning to tell me she sneezed AND farted at the same time.
Accidentally stumbled on my kid’s diary where she says sweet things about me like how she loves me and how she can’t sleep all night because I snore “like cow and pig.”
*My kids were roleplaying my wife and I*
8yo *Being me*: Is this tweet funny? Can I post it?
5yo *Being my wife*: Can you please leave me alone for 5 minutes to drink my coffee?!
My wife can seriously find stuff blindfolded. The other day, my 6yo was crying because she lost her toothpaste, so my other kids and I helped her look, and it turned into mayhem. My wife showed up and told my 6yo “It’s in your hand.”
What kind of sorcery is this?
Get married so that you can get home early from work and overhear your loving wife tell her mom “Let me call you back, he’s back early and I need to mentally prepare for this level of annoyance.”
Have kids so they buy battery-powered toys that are left on until you have to search where the frightening noises are coming from in the middle of the night
My 9yo is doing fractions and to help her practice, I asked her how I can get 2/3rd cup of water when I only had a 1/3rd cup available as we were making pancakes yesterday and she said “Ugh, today is Sunday, it’s a day of rest. That’s what you always say.”
I know my wife and I are so meant for each other as we’re always on the same wavelength. My single friend just randomly scheduled yet another vacation to Europe and my wife and I simultaneously said “Oh, to be single again”.
Marriage tip: There is never an appropriate time to tell your wife “A smile goes a long way” when she’s in a bad mood. Especially not after she spends the whole day with the kids.
When my wife annoys me, I log into her amazon account, buy something nice for myself and since she pays her credit card bill without looking at the transactions, I complain that she spends a lot.
My 8YO was FaceTiming one of her friends who said “Every time I call, your mom is either making you food or cleaning. What does your dad do?” and my kid responded “He’s either at work or in the bathroom”.
My kids are so obsessed with me. “Daddy, we want breakfast”, “Daddy, can you make us lunch?”, “Daddy, you have to make us dinner since you didn’t make us breakfast or lunch”
