Movies! You remember–those things you used to watch before you became a parent. I’m lucky if I get to watch A movie a year these days. I’m not talking about all the children’s movies I have to listen to while doing dishes or folding laundry or picking up toys everywhere. I’m talking about movies with real actors, dialogue instead of sound effects, and an actual plot line. In parenthood, it’s always too late to start a movie, and someone always falls asleep (depending on who got to choose it). Since I haven’t seen anything new, I’ve made a list of my favorites where the titles describe parenthood perfectly.

1. Dazed & Confused — cause that’s how you wake up every day as a parent.
2. Reality Bites — cause the reality of parenthood bites compared to what you’d thought it’d be.
3. Misery — cause even when you’re sick and miserable, you still have to parent.
4. Groundhog Day — cause every single day you do the exact same thing over and over and over.
5. There Will Be Blood — cause kids are insane and fall down just standing still.
6. Clueless — cause that’s how you’ll feel about your parenting skills.
7. Sleepless in Seattle (or whichever city you live in) — cause you never sleep again.
8. Fight Club — cause you break up more fights than a referee in a boxing match.
9. From Dusk till Dawn — cause that’s the only time you get to yourself but you have to spend it trying to sleep.
10. The Neverending Story — cause anytime your kids tell a story, it’s neverending.
