Parenting is like riding a rollercoaster—there are exhilarating highs followed quickly by some gut-wrenching lows. Here are 10 parenting moments that are sure to bring you back down to earth.

1. After a long night of brushing teeth, changing diapers, and reading bedtime stories, you finally switch off the light, only to catch a whiff of something foul. Yep, you guessed it—someone has decided to unleash a poop explosion right as you think you’re done for the night.

2. You’re gearing up for your first job interview since becoming a parent. You’ve laid out your outfit the night before, looking all fresh and polished. But come morning, you realize that the pants are just a tad too snug. How did that happen?

3. Feeling like a parenting rockstar, you’ve planned the week’s meals and are excited to whip up the spaghetti and meatballs you prepped over the weekend. But, surprise! Someone devoured all the meatballs for lunch.

4. You’ve got the kids securely strapped in the car, bags packed, and you’re actually on time for once. But as you turn the key, the car sputters and lets you know, “Just kidding! The battery is dead.”

5. The dreaded moment when your phone lights up with the school’s number on Caller ID. You brace yourself for what news is coming.

6. You stumble to the bathroom in the middle of the night, only to step into something wet on the floor. Surprise!

7. You’re all dressed up for a much-anticipated dinner date with your partner, who has also made an effort. But when the clock strikes 7:10, you text the babysitter only to find out—oops!—that was last week.

8. You finally manage to get your toddler to sleep and are ready to enjoy a peaceful moment with a bowl of leftovers. Just as you lift the fork, your child unleashes a wail that could shatter glass.

9. You’re just about to drift off after a long day when you hear a soft cough through the monitor. Then comes the dreaded “Mama!” And before you can grab a trash can, your little one is decorating their crib with vomit.

10. While cleaning out your kid’s backpack, a note flutters out reminding you that your contribution to the bake sale—24 cupcakes—is due tomorrow. And you forgot!

But don’t let these little hiccups ruin your mood for too long! It’s nap time, and that delicious bowl of leftovers is still waiting for you.
