Here at AllMomDoes, we love our kids and we love motherhood. But we also realize that stress goes hand-in-hand with raising kids, and sometimes the best way to battle that is with laughter. So, here are some parenting tips and ideas that come from moms and dads who understand that.
Have a good laugh from us to you:
- ”Only buy cereal that your vacuum can easily pick up.”
- “There should be a rental agency where you can rent people to go watch your kids play sports.”
- “When you need to talk to your kids, simply open a bag of chips loudly, they’ll come running.”
- “Be purposefully bad at all games so your kids won’t make you play anymore.”
- “Tell your kids your food is spicy so they don’t want a bite. If they continue to nag, add vinegar to your ice cream, etc. and give them a bite, they’ll never ask again.”
- “If you need some quiet time, tell your kids it’s time to clean the house. They’ll disappear.”
- “Pay your kid’s teacher to not send any artwork home.”
- “Hide your personal stash of candy in an empty frozen veggie bag in the freezer. They’ll never look there.”
- “When your kids act up in public yell, ‘Wait until I tell your mom!’ and then pretend they aren’t yours.”
- ”When your child asks you to smell something: don’t.”
- “Put magazines in your closet so that when you’re hiding from your kids you have something to read.”
- “Never underestimate the power of a big, black trash bag.”
- “Just say: ‘Hmmm, interesting.’ When you want your child to think you’re actually listening.”
- “Answer all kid questions with a question.”
- “If you’re not bribing during potty training, you’re doing it wrong.”
