School holidays in the UK, so extra parenting. Defo a mixed bag. It occurs to me though, being a DM has genuinely helped me parent.
Mainly in accepting that no one will follow the plan and everything will descend into chaos regardless.

And those of us with zero scheduling skills and a dramatic inability to stick to a plan.
Thanks boss, you keep my dnd alive!
Tryna make everyone follow my well crafted plot! Chaos rules!
Kids asked what my hobby was. I said "sitting down". They laughed. I laughed. Then I cried a bit inside. #DadLife #ParentingHumor #Relatable
Theres a specific tired that comes from answering questions all day that could have been solved with "look slightly to the left". #Parenting #DadHumor
I love my kids deeply. I would also love five uninterrupted minutes. #ParentingLife #FunnyDad
Tried to motivate the kids with "this will be fun". Immediately lost all credibility. #ParentingFails #DadHumor
Parenting feels like running a campaign where everyone skips the tutorial and blames you anyway. #Parenting #GeekDad
Somehow it's noisy and nothing is happening at the same time. #Relatable #DadLife
I don’t mind chaos. I mind chaos before coffee. #Parenting #DadMood
I asked for peace. I got background noise. Meh, close enough. #FunnyDad #ParentingLife
Kids treat "in a minute" like it’s a legally binding contract. #DadLife #ParentingHumor
Every day I understand NPCs more. #Parenting #DnDHumor
I don"t need motivation. I need fewer questions. #Relatable #DadHumor
There is no silence, only quieter chaos. #ParentingLife #DadHumor
If parenting had patch notes, I’d like to request fewer bugs. #Parenting #GeekHumor
Somehow tired, bored and overstimulated at the same time. #Relatable #Parenting
Nothing prepares you for being needed constantly and immediately. #DadLife #RealParenting
Oh yes exactly! I do miss those 815pm times, mine are older and I don't get that time until later and normal I fall asleep.
I love my kids. I also love when they're asleep. Both things can be true. #Parenting #DadHumor
Asked what they wanted for dinner. That was my first mistake. #ParentingFails #FunnyDad
I'm not ignoring you, I’m buffering. #DadHumor #Relatable
Parenting is mostly problem solving with snacks. #Parenting #DadLife
Every room I tidy becomes a challenge run. #Relatable #Parenting
Confidence lasts until someone says "Daaaad?" #DadLife #ParentingHumor
I don't need advice. I need a pause button. #Parenting #DadMood
I sit down and suddenly everyone needs something. #Relatable #DadLife
The house is quiet. This is suspicious. #DadHumor #ParentingLife
Parenting teaches patience. Mostly through repetition. #Parenting #DadHumor
I have achieved peak tired. #Relatable #Parenting
