Disclaimer: many groan-worthy shenanigans ahead. You have been warned!

Why is parenting the ultimate paradox?
You control the money, you’re bigger, you’re stronger, you’re smarter, you’re way more educated, and yet somehow you’re the one who ends up doing what you’re told.

What’s the worst thing about having a baby and flying?
When you ask to be moved away from the crying baby, you get told no because the baby is yours.

How do you know that you have officially become a parent?
You spend your life searching for excuses for why it’s right to spy on everything your children do.

What sucks most about being a parent?
You sit around waiting for your mom or dad to make you dinner, only to realise…
