Toddler Charades:

When they are screaming the word and also gesturing it, and you still have no idea what they mean.

🤷‍♀️

Kid made her very first nacho bowl. She spent a lot of time assembling it.

And then she immediately demanded that all the chips should be picked out of it.

Family event a the Natural Science Museum:

"So, your kid likes dinosaurs?"

Me: *trying to hold on to the dinosaur poster and book I bought for myself, while the feral screaming toddler is hell bent on escaping the premises with a piece of show-and-tell* "Yes. Sure."

I now understand the abject horror in Daddy Pig's face when he hears Soft Play.

New rule:

Any person who asks a parent "are you planning on having more kids soon?" automatically owes one full day of babysitting the existing offspring.

Make this a thing.

Kiddo on the bus:
- Mom, I can reach the button!
- Good job, honey.
- But I can't reach the other one.
- That's ok, the other one is the red button, we don't push that.
- Why?
- Because you can only use it when there's something wrong.
- Something's wrong!
- What's wrong?
- I can't reach the red button!

Useless comments for toddler meltdowns #2

"You shouldn't let them do whatever they want, you know!"

I don't. Hence: the screaming.

#smh #parenting


I know I have said this before but it still bugs me:

Where are the resources for #neurodivergent parents who are raising neurotypical children?
(Or any children really)

Like, there is so much literature on parenting ND kids, but the other way around is one hell of a ride too.

I was struggling with a toddler meltdown on the train when a very helpful (sarcasm) mom walked over with her own kid and yelled at me to "make it stop" and that "her kid never does this".

Gee, lady. Thanks.

Doctors practicing for laproscopic surgery should try brushing a toddler's teeth.

I somehow ended up in a FB comment section where a mom posted a photo of the mess in her house.

The comments are all along the lines of
"Keeping your house tidy is easy! I enjoy doing it so much! You just have to know where the place of everything is, and you have to put things back in their place every time!"

...
...
...

I think I might have pulled an optical nerve rolling my eyes.

Mind Spike: a spell that deals excruciating psychic damage from a distance. Damage increases 1d8 with every level. Available to Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Wizards.

Parental Mind Spike: as above, but reserved for parents who are trying to put the toddler to sleep when someone revvs a car engine and blasts music outside.
Damage increases 1d20 with every hour kid has been awake. Also, it's a cantrip now.

Don't say I didn't warn you. 🤬

I am considering a new dissertation titled

No officer I swear the Tasmanian Devil and Stitch didn't have a litter of feral puppies in our apartment, you see tis just that the child wants a sip of water before sleep

I fantasize about a quiz show where all the questions are about the first 25 minutes of popular kids' movies.

I would ace that so hard.

#parenting


I did not expect to be quizzed on the brand of every car we encounter on the street.

Child, your mother can't tell a Trabant from a limousine. 😅

this is excellent! My kids are going to love this 👍 thanks.

They love Max and Moritz. It's an old German book with two really naughty boys than play pranks on everyone and finish by being baked like buns! 🤯
My German grandmother read it to them once and they can't get enough. I think it's gruesome 😬

If a mother is sitting in the bathroom alone, without anyone maintaining eye contact with her, does she really make a pee?

#parenting


I told the kid on the way to school that I really had to pee, and I needed to hurry.

It was like giving a fae my true name. She had immediate, absolute power over me.

Did she abuse it?
Obviously.

😅😅😅

The soundtracks of Cocomelon and Hazbin Hotel are merging in my brain.

I was having this very elaborate and surprisingly coherent dream about investigating a murder mystery in a magical setting. I was trying to save people from some serial killer.
At one point, after a lot of adventures, someone burst into the room yelling "I know who it is! It was..."

And then the kid yelled MOOOM and I woke up. It was 5:50am.

😅😅😅

If this is not a perfect description of being a parent I don't know what is.

"NOT TIRED"
Instead of taking a Short Rest, the Toddler class character can spend the equivalent time inside a bubble of self-generated chaos.
During this time, the Toddler regains all HP and spell slots by siphoning them off the adjacent Parent.

Parent characters then temporarily function as zombie familiars until their next Long Rest.

When you multiclass into Little Old Lady, you automatically gain the "Disrupt Toddler Tantrums" feat. Approaching a toddler cancels their Rage, and changes their condition either to Shy, or I'm A Very Good Kid. 😄

#ToddlerDnD #DnD #parenting


I love it when the kid is half asleep and she starts narrating her brain feed out loud.

"Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb
MOLE PEE!
*raspberry*
Where is Ms Vicky?
Okay
I am shy
INCY VINCY SPIDER
*more raspberries*
Is this cheese?
CHEESE!
*wookie noises*
Cocomelon
Yes yes no
Ford! Opel!
Cow goes mooo
Sleepy..."

Basically, between asking for one more cup of water, and passing out, she turns into #TikTok. 😂

The Edge of the Bathtub

It's a magical threshold between scenes in the adventure. Whichever direction you try to cross over it with the toddler, you automatically enter combat.

#ToddlerDnD #parenting #DnD


I had a dream last night where a demon showed up at my house and tried to scare me every time I went outside. In the end I decided to respond to the demon like my toddler responds to me.

"RAWR!"
"Huh?"
"RAWR!"
"HUH?!"
"RAAAWR!"
"Why?"
"RAAAAWR!"
"Why?"
"RAWR!"
"But why?!?!"

In the end the demon got annoyed and left.

Many moons ago (i.e., so long ago I don't want to say because then I'd just feel ancient) Dragon Magazine ran a Mother's Day special in which they gave rules for a "Mother" prestige class. One of their abilities were "Power Word: Middle Name."

... Huh. What do you know? Google tells me that issue of Dragon Magazine is available online:
