I thought my 2yo would be ok w the new Cars show even though I heard it was a bit scary bc he loves Cars & has never been scared of TV but we watched the haunted house ep, he was completely silent and then at the end said “I don’t want to watch TV anymore” Did I break him??

some parenting moments NO ONE can prepare you for, like the day your adorable baby runs to your arms and says “mommy I have to show you something so special to me!” and she leads you to the bathroom and unveils her incredibly special and disturbingly gigantic mound of poop

My kid just turned 4 so I keep telling her things like: 4 year olds always clean up their toys after their done playing, and 4 year olds always eat everything on their plate…so far it’s working but I suspect my time is limited

Nothing is sacred.

5 during the queen’s funeral:
I can’t wait to marry Prince George and be queen of the world
When do they all have lunch
I wonder if they keep snacks in those big furry hats
When I’m queen I’ll tell my servants to bring me a cheese bagel
Mummy can you bring me a cheese bagel
