INTP parenting

Babies are difficult, like what do you want? Are you hungry? Tired? Or do you just have a tummy ache? I don't know ...Oh it was a burp

Grocery lists

INTP-mom, ISFP-child and ENTJ-child go to the grocery store

INTP: hmm, okay, so, what do we need...

ISFP: donuts!

ENTJ: *pulls out list* I did put donuts on the list actually

INTP: you made a list?

ENTJ’s room is the only consistently clean room in this house.

Always #2

(while watching a movie together)

Child: Why did that just happen?

INTP-mom: Because that’s what the people who made the movie decided should happen.

[intp-mom]

Always.

(while looking at a book together)

Child: Why does her face look like that? (pointing to illustration)

INTP-mom: Because that’s the way the artist drew the picture.

Dinner mishaps #2

ENTJ-child: Mom, can I cook spaghetti tonight?

INTP-mom: Yeah, that’s fine. Use the big pot.

(later)

ENTJ: (holding a measuring cup) How many cups are in a quart?

INTP: Wait...why? Are you measuring the water to cook the spaghetti? Just fill the pot about halfway. That should be fine.

ENTJ: I want to follow the directions mom. It says how many quarts of water. I want to do it right.

INTP: *sigh* Fine. A quart is 4 cups.

Dinner mishaps

ENTJ-child: Mom, what are you cooking for dinner? INTP-mom: Eh. You know I’ve been sick all day. I wasn’t really planning to cook anything. ENTJ: Oh. Can I cook something? INTP: Sure. ENTJ: What can I cook? INTP: ...an apple? ENTJ: An apple. Mom. Are you serious? INTP: Haha, I wasn’t, but if you want to try it you can go ahead. (ENTJ puts apple in the oven for a few minutes) ENTJ: Mom, this is good! It tastes like apple pie! INTP: Don’t you hate apple pie? ENTJ: Well yeah, but this is yummy.
