    Font - Jack's Dad @DaddingAround I think possibly one of the most valuable skills you need as a parent is the ability to sound really enthusiastic about something that is actually really fucking boring. "Wooooow! Yeah! That wall is so green! It's the greenest wall l've ever seen!" #parenting #dadlife 8:24 PM Feb 28, 2019 · Twitter for Android

    I remember being a kid on vacation and forcing my mom to watch me every single time I dived (read, bellyflopped) into the pool. As she lay there trying to read her book, I bugged her and bugged her until she gave up. Now I feel bad, but at the time it seemed super important that she watched me. Maybe that's how this dad feels.

    Font - Beau Coffron @lunchboxdad Skills you need to learn before becoming a parent: 1. How to teach your child how to brush their teeth. 2. How to give up on getting anything done for the entire night while you force your child to brush their teeth. 3. How to brush a child's teeth for them. 4:08 AM Jan 13, 2018 from Edmond, OK · Twitter for iPhone

    Oh, the joys of the nightly teeth brushing routine with kids. You attempt to let them do it themselves (for fear of a tantrum), watch them swallow the toothpaste, insist that you brush their teeth for them, have them refuse, and then chase them around the house for half an hour until you give up. Every. Single. Night.

    Font - SpacedMom @copymama ... There are certain instinctive mom skills that can't be taught. Like sensing exactly how long you have to hold on to a dandelion your kid picked for you before it's safe to discreetly toss it aside. 5:22 PM · Jun 8, 2019 · Twitter Web Client

    Font - Sul Stay at Homies @stayathomies ... 4yo: "I can't find Elsa's shoe!" Me: "Look under the couch next to some old goldfish." Husband: "Babe, where's my belt?" Me: "Look behind the dresser in our room." When you become a mom, you develop skills like being able to find random crap like a highly-trained bloodhound. 3:10 PM · Jun 18, 2019 · Twitter for Android
