I told her because I'm tired. She goes dad you're always tired. And I said yeah that's what being a dad is all about. She just shook her head like I was the dumbest person alive. She's 7 btw so that hurt a little.

Out of the mouths of babes. She's not wrong though. Sleep is a luxury at this point in the parenting game.

My daughter said basically the same thing and I had no comeback. Just accepted my fate as a perpetually tired parent.

Ha that's gold. Kids have a way of pointing out the obvious that just hits you right in the soul. How old is she?

Ha, kids see right through us. That's the realest conversation starter right there. They know the deal even at young ages.

That's the real dad life right there. The naps are survival at this point.
