My daughters returned from their first joint babysitting adventure and the 11 y/o was complaining to the 13 y/o about having to be the one to tell the kids “no” while 13 was the “fun and reckless one.” It’s like they are already assuming the relative roles of a Mom and a Dad.

Asked my 5-yo to clean her room multiple times today. She assured me she did. I went in: literally nothing had changed. “In what world,” I asked, “is this a clean room?”

I focus a lot on the downsides of parenting. It's all in jest, but the truth is that parenting delivers incredible moments & feelings you simply couldn't experience otherwise. For example, I just dropped my kids off at their grandparents house and we won't see them until Friday.
