  1. When my kids were little, they hated getting sunscreen on them. They would wiggle and try to get away from us when we were trying to get it on them, making the whole situation a bit of a drama for all involved.

    That was untill we discovered the joys of "Smørbaby"!

    Smørbaby translates to "Butter Baby". We would tell them it was time to put the butter on, and we'd put some sunscreen in our hands and then apply it kind of playfully-roughly whilst loudly saying "SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY!" over and over again.

    For some reason they found this hilarious, and would come running with the sunscreen of a morning when it was time to get out the door.

    Now they are 13 and 11 .... and once in a while, they will still come to me with the sunscreen, a little grin and say "Hey mum .... Smørbaby?" and get me to put their sunscreen on.

    Give it a go. Butter the baby! 😋

  2. I have a teenager who uses "beseech" and "nigh" in casual conversation correctly.

  3. What they expected me to give them with an abstract request like that, I have no idea. Clearly the answer was not AI slop, though! #parentingwin

  4. @PetraPhoenix I gave my kid her first Pratchett when she was 11. She has fangirled over Tiffany Aching ever since. 😁✌️🤘🖖

  5. Mr 12 & Mr 13 know what's up: National anthems at the cricket and they belt out

    "Australians all eat sausages, for breakfast lunch and tea..."

  6. Love that we gave Elmo the processing power of ChatGPT-4 and then acted surprised when he taught toddlers how to make Molotov cocktails. 🤖🔥 #AI #ParentingWin #JustAddMatches

  7. < playing pretend planes with my son >

    Ok dad where next?

    Canada is shut down due to too much pooping

    Too much pooping in Canada?

    Too much poop on the runway in Canada

  8. Son wouldn't fetch me water so I draped myself across everything and sang Bryan Adams with all the words changed to variations of MOISTURISE ME and well... Not to brag but #parentingwin

  9. Her roommate, who is essentially a live-in caretaker for the evenings, had met up with us Friday and I mentioned that there was a tiny comic book show the next day, so she took Alice and apparently they had a blast.
    They also put up fall decorations and Alice had to tell me all about them. She was really in a good mood and I was honestly happy to see her living her best life. #parenting #parentingWin

  10. Its GCSE results day, and I'm glad to say my son did OK. A couple E's, a couple C's and D's in between. Its OK, he struggles with school and work so I wasn't expecting the world. I'm proud he did so well, and now he can look forward to college.

    Hats off to my Ex wife for getting him through this with such decent results.

  11. We just got set up at our camp site for the night, after some drama. 5yo’s priorities are riding her bike, s’mores, and… making sure she gets enough campfire exposure that her shirt smells good.

    I’m so proud. 🥲

  12. I just picked 5yo up from camp and the first thing she says to me is “dad, I want you to teach me about knife carving.”

  13. Child.0 started posting pictures of a walk they are on with their grandmother. It went on for an hour before I responded.

    Me: Are you heading to Mordor? Did you bring the ring?

    Child.0: No I have not yet maybe next year

    I'm raising this kid all right, I think.

  14. #ParentingWin My son just put his dirty bowl in the dishwasher with the clean dishes. I hope he learned his lesson after he finishes putting away all the clean dishes and then put his bowl back in.

  15. My 13-year-old daughter is dancing and singing into a whisk along to Frank Sinatra tunes.

  16. Ah, yes, because nothing screams 'great parenting' like plopping your kid into a coffin for a slumber party... 🛌⚰️🤣 And hey, if the coffin doesn't do the trick, there's always the sweet allure of free pastries from that friend who inexplicably still calls instead of texts. 📞🥐 #ParentingWin

  18. It's fun as a parent when your kid enjoys the music you introduce them to. But it's EVEN BETTER when they discover something, share it with you and you love it.

    For example, my daughter stumbled across this German folk-rock band called Faun and I think they're 100% amazing.
