This is Thanksgiving, with kids: Parents' funniest turkey day confessions
by Carolyn Robertson posted in Parenting
Parents can generally split their lives into two very distinct phases: Before kids, and after kids.
Before kids, I slept in on Sundays. After kids, I wake up at 5:30 a.m. with a 2-year-old's foot jammed in my face.
Before kids, I ate dinner of off my plate at the dining room table. After kids, I eat the remains of their chicken nuggets off of their plates at the kitchen sink.
Before kids, I splurged on a cute new pair of suede booties. After kids, I splurge on car seats and industrial strength stain remover.
This very distinct division applies to holidays, too. Before kids, Thanksgiving was about gratitude, stretchy waistbands and avoiding awkward political discussions. After kids, it's about gratitude, even stretchier waistbands and avoiding awkward political discussions - while begging your kids to at least try the turkey and asking them to please stop smearing handfuls of pumpkin pie on the dog. Here is a look at how some of the funniest parents on Twitter are spending their Thanksgivings...
Thanksgiving, so your kid can reject multiple dishes instead of just one.

7-year-old: I made a Christmas list.
Me: Today is about being thankful.
7: I'm thankful you're going to buy me all this stuff.
