How My Kids Are Like the World’s Worst Roommates
Have you ever had a truly dreadful roommate? If you’ve got kids, you know exactly what I mean. They’re basically the same thing! Here’s my take on it:
-
Messy Situation
At first, you think they’ll eventually clean up their toys and snacks, right? Surely they see the chaos they create? Nope! You might drop a hint like, “Wow, it looks like a tornado hit the living room!” But all you get is crickets. Eventually, you ask them nicely to tidy up, and they promise to do it “in a minute,” which somehow turns into days. Just pick up your stuff, for crying out loud! -
Odor Alert
Daily baths? Who needs them! My kids seem to think that the stickier they are, the better. Good luck explaining that cleanliness is important; it’s a losing battle. -
Remote Control Wars
When it’s time to relax and watch your favorite show, don’t expect a polite request to join you. Instead, they’ll snatch the remote from your lap like it’s the last one on Earth, flip through channels, and blast the volume—only to leave the room with it. Seriously? -
Snack Thieves
Labeling your leftovers in the fridge? That’s cute! My kids have zero respect for your culinary treasures and will devour anything they find. And if you have food in your hand? Forget about it—they’ll take what they want without a second thought. -
Privacy? What’s That?
Enjoying a peaceful shower or a solo bathroom break? Think again! They’ll barge in, mid-shower, to ask where their favorite toy is, and don’t even think about some private time with your partner; they’ll interrupt for a glass of water. So thoughtful! -
Argument Champions
No matter the topic, kids will find a way to argue. The sky isn’t blue, and nap time is definitely a myth. Save your breath for something more enjoyable, like opening a bottle of wine—you’re never going to win. -
Take Without Asking
If they see it, they’ll take it—no questions asked. Your phone, your favorite mug, even your toothbrush is fair game. Their motto? “What’s yours is mine, and you’re just here to serve me!” -
Bodily Function Comedy
For kids, bodily noises are top-tier entertainment. Farting and burping are Olympic-worthy events. And don’t be surprised when they share your bathroom mishaps with total strangers—it’s just what they do! -
Property Damage
Forget about keeping nice things around! Your new couch? Expect it to be covered in snack residue in no time. But heaven forbid you get their stuff dirty—that’s a serious offense! -
Random Acts of Jerks
Some days, they just decide to be little terrors for no apparent reason. Maybe they didn’t like the shape of their grilled cheese, or they got the blue cup instead of the red one. Brace yourself!
Despite all their antics, my kids are undeniably adorable (at least 80% of the time), so I’ll overlook the chaos and their ongoing “rent” issues. But watch out if they swipe my leftovers—it’s game on!

Summary
Living with kids is like having the worst roommates imaginable. They’re messy, loud, and have zero respect for your privacy or belongings. But despite all the chaos, their cuteness keeps us from losing our minds (most of the time!).
