About us

Parenting is like trying to build a piece of IKEA furniture—without the instructions, half the screws, and a toddler who insists on using the Allen wrench as a drumstick. Just when you think you've figured out how to assemble a semi-functional human being, you're hit with a whole new set of challenges, much like trying to interpret a drawing of a bookshelf that looks suspiciously like a dog.

Sleep, What’s That Again?

Before kids, sleep is like a best friend. It’s reliable, comforting, and always there when you need it. Post-kids, sleep turns into that distant cousin who lives across the country and only visits for 10 minutes every third Christmas. You’ll try to catch up, but your toddler will appear at 3 a.m., demanding water like a parched desert wanderer—despite having left a full sippy cup at bedtime.

In the early days, you’ll find yourself doing things like mixing up baby formula with coffee creamer, or putting a diaper on backwards, and yet somehow feeling like you've won a gold medal just for surviving the day. "I’ll sleep when the baby sleeps," you tell yourself, not realizing that the baby will take their naps in micro-sessions shorter than a commercial break.

Mealtime: The Ultimate Olympic Sport

Feeding a toddler is like hosting a dinner party where your guest of honor is a food critic who’s also a T-Rex. The menu? Completely unpredictable. On Monday, they can’t get enough of broccoli, eating it with the enthusiasm of someone at an all-you-can-eat buffet. By Wednesday, however, that same broccoli might as well be poison, and they’ll toss it off the plate like it’s an audition for a food fight scene in a high school movie.

And heaven forbid you mix foods on the plate. Oh no. Their chicken nugget touching a carrot stick is a culinary crime akin to pineapple on pizza, leading to a dramatic meltdown that could rival any Oscar-winning performance. Yet somehow, they have no problem eating a crayon when you’re not looking.

The Mess: An Art Form

If clutter were currency, every parent would be a millionaire. Your home becomes a live-action museum of disaster exhibits: crayon murals on the walls, cereal art installations on the floor, and a stuffed animal army occupying the entire living room. Cleaning up is like playing Whack-A-Mole—no sooner have you picked up the toys in one room than a Lego landmine appears in another, ready to pierce your unsuspecting foot like it’s a stealth ninja weapon.

And don’t get me started on laundry. How can someone so tiny create so much laundry? It’s like they’re secretly moonlighting as a superhero with a costume change every hour. Baby clothes multiply like wet gremlins, and before you know it, your laundry room looks like a sock orphanage.

Conversations: Negotiating with Tiny Dictators

Trying to reason with a toddler is like trying to negotiate a peace treaty with a dictator who’s both irrational and obsessed with Peppa Pig. You’ll hear yourself saying things like, “No, you can’t wear a tutu to the grocery store” or “Please stop trying to ride the dog like a horse,” only to be met with a counter-argument that involves 30 minutes of non-stop crying or a spaghetti-on-the-floor protest.

But the negotiations don’t stop there. You’ll spend hours bargaining over bedtime. Your child will suddenly become a legal expert, citing case law on why “five more minutes” should actually mean “eternity.” Yet, miraculously, that same child will transform into an Olympic-level sprinter when you so much as mention a bath.

The Unexpected Perks

Parenting, though often an exhausting and chaotic circus, comes with unexpected perks. For one, you suddenly become an expert on the latest trends in toddler fashion. You'll rock that mismatched sock look like you're on the runway of Paris Fashion Week, even if it’s just because your kid "helped" you get dressed.

You also gain ninja-level stealth skills, capable of sneaking out of a room after your child finally falls asleep, like you’re in a spy movie—one creaky floorboard away from disaster. You can eat an entire candy bar in the bathroom without being detected, and you've mastered the art of watching your favorite TV shows on mute with subtitles.

The Punchline

In the end, parenting is a never-ending comedy routine, full of slapstick humor, unpredictable plot twists, and moments that leave you laughing so hard, you’re crying (or is it the sleep deprivation?). It's a circus where you're the ringmaster, and the clowns are also your bosses. It’s like riding a rollercoaster that goes from exhilarating highs to terrifying lows—except instead of a seatbelt, you’re strapped in with a burp cloth and a hope that today, just maybe, they won’t ask for the exact snack you ran out of five minutes ago.

But somehow, amidst the madness, there's love—so much love. And even though your house looks like a toy store after a tornado, your sleep schedule is a distant memory, and your culinary efforts are consistently rejected by a pint-sized food critic, there’s no place you’d rather be. Because parenting, for all its hilarious chaos, is the best kind of ride.

And just like that IKEA furniture, even if you don’t have all the pieces or instructions, you’re doing just fine.
