Parents Who Just Need Bedtime to End Right Now

Bedtime is the bane of many a parents’ existence, and even if you’ve got angel children who love to sleep and typically listen when you tell them to do something, they will take advantage of bedtime at one point or another.

It’s in their DNA; they can’t help it.

That said, these 15 parents have had it up to here, mister, so it’s time to go to bed.

15. That sounds about right.

And sort of like a good idea.

14. They will win that game.

It was a good idea, though.

13. You can do this.

Now get back in there.

12. Rookie mistake.

They’ll outgrow that when they outgrown stuffed animals sorry.

11. Just read your book.

And don’t tell your mother.

10. Go ahead and shake your fist at the sun.

It doesn’t care, though.

9. I mean will she put him to bed?

Because that changes my opinion on her.

8. One of them definitely knows where it is.

You’re not waking them up, though.

7. Let his imagination run wild.

Maybe it will put him to sleep.

6. Eventually you’ll get to acceptance.

They’ll wear you down.

5. They can do SO many things at once.

It’s like they’ve been training for bedtime all day.

4. That’s excellent parenting right there.

Any song will do, so pick a good one.

3. Definitely choose something boring.

A textbook, perhaps.

2. That’s called karma, people.

I would be giggling for hours.

1. This is actually a really good question.

Now go to sleep.

 

I want bedtime to be lovely, but it’s just not.

If you’ve got tips for making it easier, leave them in the comments!

You see a lot of articles about parents pulling pranks on their unsuspecting kids. And they can get away with it because, yanno, they’re kids. They’re easily tricked.

The Basket App Tells You the Best Place to Buy Your Groceries

If your house is like mine, you’ve watched your grocery bill go up, up, and up some more as everyone has been forced to eat, work, sleep, and play at home more often than not.

It’s more important to most of us than ever, then, and the Basket app is here to make sure you’re getting the very best deal for your money.

If you download the app and the sign up/log in, you can choose all of the nearby grocery stores that you’re willing to visit for your shopping trip. You add your items to one basket, then the app will show you the cost of the items at each store, but will also compare the total price of your basket depending on location.

Image Credit: Basket.com

So, if you want to visit more than one store to get all of the best deals, you can.

Or if you want to go for the cheapest overall basket, you can do that too – though you’ll want to take into consideration how far you have to go to shop, too (if you’re not ordering online, all the time at this point).

Image Credit: basket.com

The prices are submitted by other Basket users, by scanning products in the store or entering prices manually in the app.

Prices could change, items could be out of stock by the time you order, etc – nothing is perfect.

Image Credit: basket.com

That said, this app makes things way easier than running around town, not knowing which stores have the best deals until you get there to see them in person.

No matter how you choose to shop, the Basket app gives you all of the information you need to make the most informed decision possible, and if you ask me, that’s pretty cool.

Tweets for People Who Are the Hottest Mess

Raise your hand if you think you’re a hot mess.

Now raise your other hand if in trying to raise that first hand you somehow hurt yourself, knocked something over, or set fire to your greater metropolitan area.

It’s ok. I understand. I’m a hot mess, too. Last week I severely injured myself while yawning in the morning. There’s not much that’ll push you harder to say “screw this I’m staying in bed” than that. But a lot of people on the internet are hot messes too, and they turn that hot mess into a hot take, and place that hot take on Twitter for all to enjoy.

Check out these ten tweets by and for people who are just like you, you beautiful disaster.

10. The customer is always wrong

Just because you don’t mean anything doesn’t mean you can’t wreck me.

9. Reset

If I could call a do-over on existence I probably would have ten times by now.

8. Take me away

Imagine having this conversation 48 times a night.

7. I don’t mouth so good

Forget it, I’ll just go ahead and never speak again.

6. Dating in the modern day

Elizabethan courtship etiquette has nothing on the internet age.

5. The big questions

I need to report this original tweet for rudeness.

4. The Devil’s in the details

My demons have resorted to cleaning up just so they have something to wreck.

3. Pain in hindsight

These are the scars that truly never disappear.

2. Time and place

Don’t forget to follow it up with a “haha, but I dunno, man, it’s whatever.”

1. Out of funding

I’m sorry, what the hell app is this?

If you’ve managed to scroll through all of that without disaster, congratulations. Give yourself a high five! Oh, that made you sprain your wrist? And the whole office was watching? Nevermind, just get out of there, I’m sorry.

This is What Happens to Kids When You Let Them Go Barefoot

We’re a “shoes optional” family. We don’t wear shoes in the house, and despite the dog poop landmines, wooden deck, and potential for stepping on a bee, if it’s a warm day, you’re as likely to find my kids outdoors without shoes as with.

Same goes for in the house, though we do opt for socks on cold days!

But while baby and toddler toes are impossibly cute, the temptation to buy almost-equally adorable tiny footwear is definitely there. We buy babies shoes to take those first steps, thinking that it must be easier to walk with shoes on…but it turns out, that way of thinking is flawed, because studies show that walking barefoot is beneficial for a child’s development.

In their early years, a child’s sensory system is growing and changing all the time. Their brains are learning to grow, learn, and adapt, and being able to use all five senses simultaneously is the best way to encourage the process.

Our sense of touch is often seen as less important than the others, but anyone who has ever heard the term “sensory bin” knows that for toddlers, it’s definitely on par with the others.

There are two sensory systems that are super important for little, developing brains – the vestibular system and the proprioceptive system – and walking barefoot helps improve both.

Proprioception is the ability to understand motion and how it relates to our body’s positioning. Receptors in our muscles, joints, and other tissues send signals to the brain, while the vestibular system helps with coordination and balance, along with our center of gravity.

With shoes on, kids aren’t as able to receive input for the proprioceptive system, and input for the vestibular system is diminished, as well. Without tactile sensations, the feedback is muted, the sensors unstimulated – think of what it feels like to walk barefoot in cool grass, to wriggle you toes in the sand, and things like that.

It’s great, it’s new, it gets your neurons firing on whole new levels, and that’s exactly what developing babies and toddlers need.

So if it’s a safe space, even if it’s not entirely clean), forgo the shoes. It will be winter soon enough, and you’ll have all kinds of chances to show off those adorable kicks.

I promise.

Clueless Dads Who Never Saw The Fail Coming

Dads are many things – protective, funny, gruff, sweet, and yeah, clueless. It’s part of their charm, right?

And you tell me what’s more charming than a guy doing his best, but who never sees a big ol’ fail coming, even though the rest of us can spot it a mile off.

You can’t! Which is why you’re going to love these 12 clueless dads as much as we do.

12. What was he using to swat a fly, a hammer?

Whatever it was, seems like overkill.

11. That’s one way to scar your child for life.

Just one, though. There are more.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2utqc-lcQT/

10. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Men, I swear.

9. That is not how microwave popcorn works.

Or microwaves in general, for that matter.

8. We’re all getting older, okay?

No judgement.

7. In case you were wondering whether there was a difference.

Because this dad didn’t think he would get busted, either.

6. That…is not going to taste right.

Is it wrong that I kind of want to try it, though?

5. How do you miss that?

It had to be on purpose, right? A joke?

4. What is with that almond milk packaging though?

It’s like they want to confuse people.

3. I choose to believe he was pulling her leg.

The other option is too dumb.

2. Someday that information will come in handy.

Dads live for moments like these.

Just…how do you not know that.

View this post on Instagram

I’ve been a stay at home for more than five years. In May, I started working part-time and this morning I had an event that started before school drop off. My husband stayed home and helped get the kids out for school. Apparently, my daughter decided to wear underwear (not just any underwear but thick diaper like training underwear used for potty training) and told my husband they were “short shorts.” Based on her smile and the fact she locked her door while getting dressed, I’m pretty sure she knew they weren’t shorts!! Swipe ➡ to see the messages that followed once I was informed of the situation, plus a picture of my daughter in school in underwear and the message I received from my girlfriend who filled me in on what was taking place! At least my husband remembered to brush the girls teeth and clean their newly pierced ears… so there’s that! ?‍♀️??‍♀️? . . . #workingmoms #worklifemomlife #headshake #funnymorning #lifeofaworkingmom #stayathomemom #stayathomemomlife #toddlers #threeyearsold #itsagoodstory #lotsoflaughs #lol #todayparentingteam #todayshow #todayshowparents #buzzfeedparenting #buzzfeedparents #scarymommy
