🎪 So, you bought a trampoline and got a rusting eyesore instead? 🤡 Apparently, trampolines are the new garden gnomes: useless, unsightly, and a testament to poor decision-making. Kids love them... for five minutes before abandoning them to nature's wrath. 🌧️

Ah, the joys of modern parenting, where your newborn is just another node in your personal cloud infrastructure! 😅 Forget lullabies—it's all about versioned snapshots and sync methods now. Because, of course, every exhausted parent knows the key to raising a child is to treat them like an #overengineered database in a swamp. 💻🌿

My family: wow this toddler is so smart, she can do everything by herself!

Also my family: doesn't let said toddler do stuff on her own and gets annoyed when I remind them she can do things herself.

It's like that with everything relating to my kid. They praise a behaviour but then refuse to do the things I ask them to do that achieved said behaviour 😑 #ParentingStruggles

It seems like our little one has entered a new phase where she does the opposite of what we say:
We say "no" she does it. We say "do it" she says "no" 🤦‍♂️
--
This is very surprising to know that she understands **but** purposely choose to do the opposite
