In May 2010 writer Chris Illuminati quit his job to become a stay-at-home dad. Since then, while he raises his two kids, he’s been entertaining us with witty post-it note messages he writes to remind himself what to do and what not to do when raising a child. The notes will make you chuckle, they’ll make you smile and most of all, they’ll make anyone who knows what it’s like to raise a child groan in agreement.

Find more of Illuminati’s hilarious notes at Message With a Bottle.

The baby laughing alone in the back of the car at nothing in particular goes from adorable to creepy after a couple miles

walked two miles with baby in the stroller yesterday: first mile was casual walk through the park and second mile was retracing our steps to find his shoe

Kid is sick. got me out of a 3am black friday trip the wife was planning. owe him huge. wonder if he accepts checks or cheerios

the baby can pull himself up in the crib. shit just got real

i like watching the baby when he watches something for the first time

if you run out of nursery rhymes the theme from 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' works well

Medium = vomit. Canvas = both shoulders

Open the hngar.. vrrmmmm... good right? wait... Don't sneeze! Explosion on the runway. Dad's face was a casualty.

the baby loved the snow until I handed him the shovel. he understood after i explained why people have children.

after i say anything to the 3-year-old, good or bad, i take one step back. for my own safety

telemarketer called and asked to speak to the person wh oruns the house so i handed the phone to the 3-year-old.

i don't buy a toy thinking about how much the kid will like paying with it. I buy it based on how much it will hurt when i eventually step on it in the dark

over the weekend i became an uncle. guess i should get my brother-in-law a ox of post-its for Christmas
