Parenting is a wild ride, and it comes with its own set of hilarious challenges. Here are some signs that you might be knee-deep in the wonderful chaos of parenthood:
- You can brown ground beef, pour a drink, and chop vegetables all while balancing a baby on your hip, with a couple of toddlers flailing on the floor because you’re taking too long to get the milk.
- You can pause mid-bite to tend to a little one’s messy situation and then return to your meal like nothing happened.
- Whipping up six dozen cookies at the last minute is no big deal when your child suddenly remembers they need snacks for tomorrow’s school program.
- You’ve developed the reflex to catch vomit barehanded.
- You can lie on the couch, eyes closed, yet still keep tabs on your kids as if you have eyes in the back of your head.
- Dining out becomes an adventure where you find yourself spending more time in the restroom than at the table.
- You can respond to your child’s endless questions with witty movie quotes.
- Big boogers? No problem! You’ll pick them and wipe them on your pants without a second thought.
- You meticulously schedule check-ups for your kids but can’t seem to remember your own annual appointment.
- Brushing your teeth and holding your three-year-old’s pee stream at the same time has become an art form.
- You might forget your grocery list, but you can recall where that red sparkly headband from three weeks ago is hiding.
- Laundry? It’s become a never-ending cycle that makes you contemplate turning your home into a nudist colony.
- You can expertly juggle two board games and still manage to win all your Words With Friends matches.
- Your go-to phrases include “Get your finger out of there,” “We don’t eat boogers for lunch,” and “No, I really don’t want to smell that.”
- Your living room decor has shifted from beer can towers to what you can only describe as “creative masterpieces” made by tiny hands.
- No matter how much you clean, the bathroom always carries the scent of pee.
- You’ve mastered the art of changing a diaper in the dark without leaving a trace, except for that unmistakable odor that lingers.
- You can navigate a room filled with Legos at 3 AM without stepping on a single piece, but dare to try it during the day and you’ll find yourself cursing like a sailor.
- A glass of wine and your tablet in the bathroom just for a moment of peace? Yes, please.
- You do laundry because the hampers are overflowing, not because you have a favorite shirt to wear out.
- You can chat about your child’s vomit over dinner and keep eating as if discussing the weather.
- Math homework? You’re giving it your best shot.
- Glitter is now a common household item.
- Most of your conversations revolve around the delightful topics of poop, farts, burps, butts, and boogers.
While some aspects of parenting might not be your favorite (like the occasional vomit), you wouldn’t trade it for anything—well, maybe for the poop on the walls.
