Welcome to another installment of “parents just barely making it,” better known as, the funniest parenting memes & tweets this week.
Funny story before getting into the meat and potatoes of this post.
Both my kids went to the dentist about two months ago. Both my kids had 4 cavities. Four. Immediately, I felt like a failure as a parent. No time to unpack that baggage right now.
Both were scheduled to have those cavities drilled and filled on Friday, August 13th. That’s today. They’ve both been dreading the appointment.
My phone rings at 8 am. It’s their mom and immediately my mind goes “Oh, this can’t be good.”
I imagined my daughter holding off the doctor and nurses with a drill while my son tied everyone up with those little cords the hygienist uses to put the bib around your neck.
It’s the 8-year-old on the phone.
“Daddy, guess what?”
“What?”
“The dentist’s office called. We don’t have to go.”
“What?!? Why?”
“The dentist was in an accident and is in the hospital! I’m so happy.”
“Ok, well, I understand that but let’s keep in mind someone is in the hospital.”
“Oh. Right. So sad.”
A little bit of good news for the kids on a typically “unlucky” day.
In a related story, their appointments are rescheduled for the afternoon after their first day of school.
Yeah, I laughed at that too.
Please enjoy this week’s dad jokes, parent complaints, mom puns, tweets, and rants every parent will appreciate.
The TV just said “everyone is looking forward to the start of the school year” and under her breath my daughter said “that’s a big load of bullshit”

I drove to a craft beer store during a long work call & while checking out I was asked a question. I unmuted and said "sorry, had to pick something up from the pharmacy." Unprompted, the cashier said, "any questions about your prescription?" This is the society I want to live in.

As I stand at the sink washing a stack of dishes no one else has bothered to touch, my son asks, "Why do you look so angry?"

One minute you think your child is a budding chef and the next he’s jamming green beans into his ice cream, so just remember when you say your child is “capable of anything” that’s not always a good thing
