Why We Can't Have Nice Things

We’ve all said it: This is why we can’t have nice things. But what does that really mean? And what does it look like? We here at Scary Mommy thought we would show you what it means to us.

These are just a few of the reasons why we can’t have nice things:

Because we had no idea we would never see our floor again.

Because kids think tablet screens are meant to be cracked.

Because sometimes our children decide to “help.”

Because walls are for climbing…

…and so are closets.

Because when our kids aren’t destroying our house, our pets are.

Because raising kids is like raising talking piglets.

Because food has a way of ending up everywhere but in a baby’s mouth.

Because kids think that “minivan” is synonymous with “dumpster.”
