#whenyouhavekids

When you have to scold your child for saying fuck, but also not trying to laugh

The dream.

When I’m sick, but the kids are at full health

When your kid starts using please and thank you unprompted

When I ask my kids what they want for dinner:

When the president-elect nominates a vaccine denier to chair a presidential committee on vaccine safety

When your kid declares he’s bored in the weeks after Christmas

When it’s the morning of Christmas Eve

When its the first day of Christmas holidays

When you finish your Christmas shopping for the year

The grandparents’ guide to buying Christmas presents

When your kid announces that there is no santa and she knows its her parents that put out the presents

Trying to come up with clever places for Elf on the Shelf

When it’s post-Thanksgiving weekend

When someone in your facebook mommy group announces all her Christmas shopping was done months ago

When you cancel a playdate with someone from daycare because your kid is sick and the parent responds “Oh mine has that too, but she’s still going.”

When all the Halloween candy is gone
