You try to do your best for those little monsters but sometimes you just gotta do YOU. But parenting is a tough gig, right?
None of these folks are in the running for ‘Parent of the Year’ and if these look familiar, you probably aren’t either.
1. Might’ve overdone it
Today’s assignment:
Go to kids’ karate classes and keep screaming “FINISH HIM!”

2. Do what you gotta do
Nothing says “I’ve got this parenting thing under control!” like using my son’s last juice box as a mixer.

7yo: The tooth fairy didn’t come last night!
Me: That bitch.
7: What?
Me: What?

4. When you’re in jail…
Heard my 7yo call my 5yo a dick & I told her it isn’t a word she can say & she asked if she can say it when she’s 15 & I said no & she asked if she can say it when she’s an adult & I said no & she asked if she can say it in jail & I said if she goes to jail then she can say dick

5. TRUTH
I’m trying to enjoy every minute but kids are such freaking idiots most of the time.

6. Major headache
The 4 yr old is wandering the house in a life jacket, crying b/c it's clipped. He also cried when I unclipped it.
We don't even own a boat.

7. Not cool
My kid got invited to a birthday party and I don’t like that kid’s mom so I bought a musical instrument set that includes a drum, a recorder, and a harmonica. I’ll see you in hell, Bethany.

8. Might want to listen in
Just overheard my 5-year-old tell her sisters, "…and that's how you defuse a bomb," and now I feel like I should probably pay attention.

9. That’s why
3yo: Do you want to play princesses with me?
Me: Of course!
3yo: Ok, I’ll be Ariel. Who do you want to be?
Me: Sleeping Beauty.
3yo: How come you always pick her?
Me:

10. Which one is worse?
Don’t know what’s worse
1) My 8yo called me upstairs to bring him a towel that was two feet away from him
2) I did it— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) March 22, 2018
11. Ugh
me *brings toddler his juice* What do you say?
toddler: Finally— Josh (@iwearaonesie) May 19, 2018
12. Pray they don’t notice
I'm the kind of mom who burns one side of the grilled cheese, serves it to her kid with the non-burned side up, and crosses her fingers.
— SpacedMom (@copymama) May 26, 2017
13. Sure…
Pediatrician: They're only getting two hours of screen time a day, right?
Me: HAHAHAHA! I mean, yes.
— Ramblin Mama (@ramblinma) May 5, 2017
14. It’s over
Husband: So we've basically given up.
Me: On what?
H: *gestures to 4yo carefully piling spaghetti on his head*: Parenting.
— Mom Psychologist (@mompsychologist) January 31, 2017
15. Flip ’em the bird
I don't like to point fingers, but sometimes I really want to point my middle finger at the 1yo.

Maybe shoot for 2020 ‘Parent of the Year’?
Something to strive for…
The post These Moms and Dads Won’t Be Winning ‘Parent of the Year’ Anytime Soon appeared first on UberFacts.
Today, a beautiful thing occurred within my classroom. My two most important mottos and lessons I stress every single day with my students is to “Be Kind” and to believe in one’s self through the growth mindset of “Yes I Can”. • • It is #AutismAwareness Month and every classroom on campus has been asked to have each student decorate a paper puzzle piece and hang it on our classroom doors. When I handed out the puzzle pieces, most students were familiar with the idea of Autism and aware of the cause of decorating the puzzle pieces. What my students did not know is that Autism is present within our classroom with one of our fellow classmates, Rumari. With excitement, Rumari rose his hand and said “May I please say something?” I nodded and said “of course”, but never could I have imagined what was to follow. • • Rumari has faced challenges and barriers beyond what any of us will ever be able to fully understand. But today, Rumari stood in front of the classroom with full confidence, enthusiasm, and courage and showed us that there is no challenge or barrier that can stop him. He brought to life the meaning of “Yes I Can” as he explained to his fellow classmates that he was autistic. With full knowledge, he explained the differences that may come when being autistic and how the spectrum is vast. He courageously spoke about his own differences and quirks, while defining what it means to make everyone feel like a someone. • • My other students and I sat quietly and listened, completely engulfed in every word he spoke to us. Because of this, it took me a bit before realizing I needed to capture this moment. Without any of the students knowing, I hit record and captured the final moments of Rumari speaking to us and the raw, authentic reactions of the rest of my students. It is then, that I lost my ability to hold back the tears. It is then, that the daily lessons to “Be Kind” and to remember “Yes I Can” were brought together. • • If I were unable to ever teach again or if there was ever a question to my path into this role as an educator, this moment solidified my purpose. With permission from Rumari’s parents, I wanted to share with you this moment:
