The “lessons” they remember.

Both mine have told me about something I said or told them that they will always remember.

I didn’t recall the conversation. I of course lied and said I did.

That a little 4 year old can push out a 4” diameter by 8” long turd. It’s fricking incredible.

Then you wipe their arse and there’s nothing there. More fricking incredible.

How short a period of time they are actually in your home. Our youngest left home to conquer the world in 2015. We've been empty nesters every since. Young parents, I know you've heard it a million times, but enjoy them while they're little and at home. One day soon you're gonna turn around and they'll be gone. God I miss my kids...

Lying is an innate human characteristic. Comes to us as naturally as breathing.


Me: Did you poopoo
16 month old daughter, waddling bow-legged, reeking to high heaven, answers without hesitation, staring me dread in the eyes, unwavering: No

Me: well one of us shite their pants and I’m pretty sure it’s not me
Her: < stone cold poker face >

The places they come up with to hide shite in/under as toddlers is incredible. I'm regularly impressed to the point where I'm not even mad about it.

That a newborn baby's fingernails rival the sharpness of wolverines claws, and that cutting them is like defusing a nuclear bomb.

That Jamarcus Russell could throw a pick 6 against Florida, and at the same time have a two year old vomit all over me and the pick 6 would bother me more....

- how many times a day I would try to answer “but why Daddy?”

- how their awful habits that annoy you to death are really just your awful habits

- how much fun it is to experience them discovering something new for the first time

- how awful it is to experience something for the last time with them and you not realize it till later

- how much they are actually listening to every conversation

- how much my night would be spent arguing with them to get in the bath, and then 10 minutes later arguing with them to get out of the bath

- how many times a day I would hear “I’m hungry”

Damn man, you are spot on.

I can be literally standing over the stove cooking and my kid will tell me she's hungry.

She's 8. Old enough to know that I'm obviously in the process of getting her to "not hungry" stage.

15 minutes after dinner it's "I'm hungry again. Can I have a snack?"

hat a logistical nightmare it is getting them everywhere all the time. Daycare, school, dance class, soccer, doctors appointments, dentist, birthday parties, and on and freaking on. What's crazy is we turn down a ton of activities and are still on the go constantly.
on point

- manipulation tactics (even a toddler is a clever little shite), especially having a daughter. She knows I'm wrapped around her chubby little finger.

yep

Made my 4 year old eggs, bacon and toast this morning for breakfast

An hour later she comes whining to me “Daddy I’m hungry” like I’m purposely starving her

If the kid is healthy, one is an absolute joke compared to 2. I have twins. They are utterly exhausting. I have no idea how triplet parents function.
