Tell me you're a parent without telling me you're a parent

I'll go...

I've watched the same animated film every day for 2 weeks 🙃

This week, I will be using 100% acetone in trying to get nail varnish out of a canvas teepee and a carpet. 😬

Becareful with the carpet, acetone can damage man made materials if used neat. Memories of Friday afternoon A level Chemistry, the last 15 minutes were spent removing nail varnish with neat acetone, ready for a new coat for the weekend but at the end of term nails were disappearing!

Today we had an emergency plumber come in to fix our bathroom leak. Made small talk and asked if he had far to travel. He lives about an hours drive away so as he left, I told him to make sure he goes for a wee first. I was honestly mortified the second it came out of my mouth, I’m just so used to saying it to the dc every single time we leave the house 😩

You allow tradesmen to use the loo? Very suspect in MN terms.

A reverse on many of these posts is being called Mum by some strapping 16 year old who immediately looks like he wants the ground to open up and swallow him.

My coat pockets and handbag and house are full of "nature" that we need to collect (sticks, rocks, leaves, etc)

I tried that... now the kids just ask if they can have some 'yucky crisps' too!!

Most of my glassware and cutlery is under a bed upstairs

I have to make lunch before going out for lunch yet never manage to eat lunch.

At 3am I was scraping vomit off a duvet cover, I did two loads of washing before going back to bed and being woken at 6.30.
The smell of sick is lingering around house.

I know where all the best local building sites with diggers are.

You’re Welcome has been no 1 in my Spotify wrapped for 3 years in a row. Soon to be knocked off by Bruno I expect.

That was me 10 years ago

I still say 'ooo look how big that excavator is' - I just get a now.

The kind lady with the big trolley at Tesco offered me to go thru’ checkout first, and I refused stating I was enjoying the peace and quiet.

It's a quarter past three in the morning and I'm awake with the soundtrack to Encanto going round and round and round and round in my head.

Unfurled my yoga mat in a rare class and a dummy popped out.

I know the entire script of the ‘jelly flood’ episode of magic kingdom.

I can’t stop humming the tuneless horror that is the new thomas the tank engine theme.

I have pictures of poo in my phone gallery to show the doctor 🤣🤣

@blackcoffeenosleep

My front door has had an iron man sticker on it since the Summer. Nothing will remove it so now we are just the Iron Man House.

I've been sleeping in a bottom bunk since Christmas!

One of my ‘parent’ moments was years ago, going round Sainsbury’s, sans kids, and exclaiming cheerily “Oops, crash!” to the lady who came round a corner and bumped my trolley with hers.

@TerribleTuna

I spend my baths cramped at one end of the tub and my showers taking it in turns to stand under the water...

oh and I haven't pee'd alone for some time now.

Haha, this is my bathroom scenario too!

I constantly get handed rubbish whilst driving

I love seeing my grandchildren

So much to learn about
It'll make you wanna shout
BLIPPI

Look, there's a toot toot!

It turns out grown up people don't get quite as excited at that sentence as little people.

I frequently find reusable paw patrol stickers all over the carpet in all parts of the house.

I have in-depth discussions with DH about the world building of the implied wider setting in paw patrol.
