    23 quotes about having kids that will make you feel better about parenting

    Parenting. It's thankless, relentless and sleepless.

    The good times are wonderful but the bad times will have you rocking in a corner, repeatedly stabbing yourself in the forehead with the horn of a glitter-covered unicorn and wishing that they hadn't outlawed Becks powder.

    Well friends, slide that shiny pegasus under the couch with the abandoned sandwich crusts and missing library books and come sit by me.

    I've prepared 23 quotes about having kids that will make you feel better about parenting.

    See, at some point every parent finds themselves wishing away the twelve hours until bedtime and cursing the creators of toys with more than four pieces.

    You're not alone.

    You're never ever alone, not even on the toilet.

     are you a parent?

      Phillis Diller - Jerry Seinfield Ha ha. Great quotes, Good job! A Psychologist friend of mine reckons the teenage years are designed so come time for them to leave home you'll stand on the door step and happily wave them goodbye instead of crumbling into a blubbering mess! I'm with her 😉 Xx

      This made me laugh - 'You’re not alone. You’re never ever alone, not even on the toilet.' I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old who can't leave me alone - especially when I try and escape to go to the bathroom.

      So true. Trying to teach the eldest about NOT coming into closed rooms but it's a work in progress. Still never alone!
