Raising kids is an impossible task, and yet, people do it every day.

The combination of sleep deprivation, sensory overload, and an evergrowing list of extracurriculars to manage can be enough to make any adult lose their cool. And sometimes, the only available release valve is social media, where the jokes and stylized complaints can flow.

So if you need a laugh of solidarity, look no further.

I bought Bluey sheets so I can encourage my 2yo to sleep in her own bed.

She also happens to love them better when she puts them on my bed at 2am.
