Me, after 60 minutes of bedtime struggle bus:

"I'm just going to pretend I'm asleep. I'm not going to react to ANYTHING."

Child creature: *Cheerfully walks a plush penguin up my arm and makes it pee in my ear*

Me: *immediately fails all Stealth checks*

😆 🐧

You either don't have kids and you stay a hero, or you have kids and live long enough to become THAT upstairs neighbor.

Me, introducing the new clock-nightlight gadget to the child:

"See, when the sheep's eyes are open and the light is green, it's play time. When she sheep's eyes are closed and the light is red, it's sleep time."

Child, already prying the sheep's eyes open with her hands:

"So if the sheep's eyes are open I don't have to sleep?..."

Me, making mental note:

"... I am not DMing for this kid. Ever." 😅

Child, playing with the color coded dice: "PINK! PINK!"

Me: "That's not how dice work, honey. You can't just tell them what you want to roll."

Child: *rolls (actually rolls) pink 3 times in a row, gives me a shit-eating grin* "PINK!"

Me: "Welp, playing D&D with you will be fun..."

So presents are all ready except none of my arrived on time, courtesy of the postal service.

This will be a fun conversation with the kiddo in the morning 😂

When you have a Hungarian-American mixed household, it becomes increasingly difficult to explain to the kid why Santa visits like 5+ times in one season... 😅

(St. Nick's Day, kindergarten St. Nick, kindergarten Santa Clause, home Santa Claus, assorted relative's Clauses... 🎅 🎅 🎅 )

#Christmas #Santa #parenting #culture #tradition


🎶 Tis the season for parents to multiclass into Santa Clause 🎅🤶🌲

(What class is Santa anyway?...)

Toddler likes to get up at 5am.

Facebook Ads decided to add insult to injury.

#parenting #FBads #WTF
A yellow and blue book cover, with the drawing of a person getting out of bed, smiling and stretching contentedly. Title reads "The 5am Club: Own your morning. Elevate your life."


The kiddo used my #AdventCalendar animal cards in a single elimination game to determine her favorite. Apparently, it's the pistol shrimp. The potoo was a close second. Now to see if a challenger emerges from the next pockets.

(Also I'm pretty sure she chose shrimp because her dad is Cajun and she sees it as yummy. 😅 )

#animals #nature #parenting #advent
Two cards with color drawings of a potoo bird and a pistol shrimp. The potoo card says "accomplish your goals through total committment" shrimp says "your voice has power"


Nobody warned me that once I become a parent all the stories in my Christmas repertoire are going to make me cry.

What the heck.

Here is something that came up in conversation and everyone drew a blank:

Can anyone suggest books or resources for #neurodivergent parents parenting neurotypical children?

Is this even a field of study that exists? Or just ND people as parents in general?

Raising a bilingual toddler has its moments. Like this morning when I woke up to her yelling "GOOD MORNING, HO!" at me. 😂

(Hó is snow in Hungarian. She was excited about snow.)

Today's WTF #parenting ad from FB:

Affirmation Stickers for Kids!
"A woman's beauty is one of her great missions."

No one warned me about entering a parallel freaking universe when I had a daughter.

😬😬


#ToddlerDnD

"I encountered a new legendary weapon... it deals 10d10 acid damage, 5d8 emotional damage to both wielder and victim, temporarily lowers your Wisdom, flays your mind, and transforms a Small creature into a Shrieking Terror."

"Holy hell, what is it called?"

"NASAL SPRAY"

#Parenting does have its beautiful moments, though. Like when we play cheerfully together for three whole hours, and then we settle down to watch the sunrise together...

The kid wants me to make up little songs about whatever she does throughout the day, while she keeps grumping and fussing at me.

....

Dammit, I'm my own child's Jaskier.

"So if I eat all the veggies, and put away the puzzle pieces I spilled, and wash my hands, and go to bed nicely, THEN can I please cast Mage Hand to reach into the TV and pet that dog?"

"For the last time, I am your mother, not your warlock patron."

FB algorithm found me with the mommy content and it's annoying.

"It only takes a little self esteem to wear skirts and heels even as a tired mom!" - writes the blogger who clearly never gets into the sandbox with the kid, or carries the stroller on public transport.

#ToddlerDnD

Giving the toddler a healing potion takes a Dexterity check, a Persuasion roll, a Grapple action, a help action from the spouse, 3-5 rare ingredients, Bardic Inspiration, blessing from three different gods, thunder damage to the ears, multiple rounds of Prestidigitation, and an Alignment check at the end...

The most ironic line from Peppa Pig:

"One day the baby will learn to speak and then we will know what he wants."

Today's #ToddlerDnD moment:

"I cast Featherfall."
"You are not a spellcaster."
"FEATHERFALL!"
"That's not..."
"See? Works every time."
"That's because we keep catching you."

#dnd #parenting #ttrpg


Today's #ToddlerDnD moment:

"I search the room for loot."
"There is no loot."
"I search again."
"No need. You succeeded your roll. There is no loot in this room."
"I yell NOW."
"Yelling NOW won't make loot appear out of thin air."
"Are you sure? I'm gonna try anyway."

"You are out of spell slots and low on HP. What would you like to do? Long rest?"
"No."
"Short rest?"
"No."
"Potion?"
"No."
"Then what's the plan?"
"I RAGE."

Having a toddler is like having That Dude join your #DnD party.

"The innkeeper hands you a cup of his finest wine."
"What color is the cup?"
"Blue."
"I RAGE."

"The Wizard is casting Sleep. You immediately fall asleep."
"No I don't."
"You have the lowest HP in the party."
"I'M IMMUNE, B***ES!"

"It's a Gelatinous Cube."
"I lick it."
"It's very dangerous!"
"I'm already licking it."

Toddler: "Mom, what is that?"

Me, munching on secret chocolate: "... nothing."

Toddler: "Mom, open your mouth!"

Me: .... *chews faster*

To be honest the toddler gettig up at 4am is totally a fair trade for darkness at 4pm.

I might have dozed off a little while playing with cars on the floor. So the toddler came over and prodded my cheek, muttering "Mom! On!"

😂

Oh so you like to live dangerously

Well I have a toddler and I wear glasses.

Strangers who stop to make funny faces when the toddler is melting down in the street are the real MVPs.

Kindergarten teachers deserve the salary of football coaches. And probably a personal massage therapist and a Nobel Peace Prize each.
