Folding Towels

You know you're not single anymore...when you fold towels and your wife tells you that you are folding them wrong...You have folded towels for at least 30 years so you think you know how it works...but then there's the tri-fold technique that your wife uses because it takes up less space in the closet...You try it twice and your wife corrects you both times...You decide to stick to socks and underwear in the future.

Closing

You know you're not single anymore...when you find out your daughter has to close by herself at her job and you automatically know you're going to be there for at least 30 minutes before she needs to be picked up...It's not because she asked for you to be there...you're just choosing to be there...fortunately she works at the movie theater and it might be a good day to watch the last movie...But in any case, she's never really alone at her job no matter how late you have to be there.

Dirty Truck

You know you're not single anymore...when you can't remember when your truck was really clean...even when you do wash it, you realize your truck will be dirty again within 12 hours due to the transportation of active kids...You finally have decided to turn your truck into the sports shuttle for stinky kids coming from practice...At least you're glad you've got a truck for such a purpose!

Repetition

You know you're not single anymore...when you find yourself repeating everything you say at least three times..."Son, don't forget to brush your teeth!"...ten minutes later..."Did you remember to brush your teeth?"..."Okay everyone we're leaving in 15 minutes"...five minutes later..."we're leaving in ten minutes!"..."Honey, I'm running up to the store, is there anything you need?"..."Kids, I'm running up to the store, is there anything you need?"...You wonder if it would be a good investment to buy an electronic message board in the house.

Classroom

You know you're not single anymore...when your wife and son come to decorate your classroom while you are at pre-planning...You realize you have never had anyone come and help you prepare your room before school starts...Of course, your son has to analyze and ask questions about everything you own...On the other hand, your wife goes straight to Pinterest and finds a dozen ideas of how to hang everything in your classroom...You do recognize that your room is the best it has looked in the last 13 years.
