I’ll start:

I had to explain to my 4 year old today why he couldn’t leap off the couch to do an arial assassination of his 1 year old sister. Maybe I’ve been playing too much assassins creed.

No matter how sweet they start out, they all turn into surly teenagers.

I am much more attuned to the various colors, consistencies and yes, odors, of human feces than i ever wanted to be.

How long it takes a kid to learn some things. My parents never explained things like WHY you should or shouldn’t do some things. It was always “because I said so.” I explain things to my kids in ways they should be able to understand but more often than not, they have to learn the hard way.

Agree.

They can even do it from a grandparents home by calling and crying and worrying mom into not being in the mood.

Luckily, mine are all teens/young adults and they are busy and away from home.

I am back in the saddle!

But when they were young......dry spell far too often.

How your own parents and grandparents must have been just as clueless as you are when you first take the baby home from the hospital

The absolute, complete, undeniable difference between girls and boys.

Girl: sweet, sensitive, wants to play dolls, school, dress-up, is princess all day, loves to dance like a ballerina, loves playing inside games, very dramatic about everything

Boy: sweet (at times), hates wearing pants, just wants to wrestle/fight, only cares about trucks/construction vehicles/flying machines, only wants to be outside, nothing phases him

That will completely reverse when they become teenagers. Wait for it.

I am a sympathetic puker. If I see hear or smell vomit, I vomit. Unexpectedly, when my kid pukes in my face I handle it like a champion and make sure he is ok then just clean up.

Parents bitch and complain way too much and say advice given by non parents is not good because they aren’t parents. After becoming a parent, all that shite is garbage and it’s just lazy parents that want to stay being lazy parents. There are a lot of lazy parents.
