Many posts and even books tell you how glorious and fulfilling it is to raise children. The reality is, though, that you’re often vomited on, have literally zero spare time, and are haunted by dragging insomnia, and this is just the beginning of the list. Sincerely, we absolutely sympathize with you.
So, do you feel like throwing a party every time your kid finally goes to sleep at night? Do you dread the thought of having to move your child’s car seat into another car? Is parenting your children akin to dealing with a pack of Velociraptors? If you find yourself nodding wildly to any or all of the above, we invite you to take a look at this list of hilarious “parenting is hard” memes we’ve compiled for you. Have a good laugh, and don't forget to vote for the funniest memes!

Funny Parenting Memes Can Help You Through The Day
While producing a decent human being from scratch is nothing short of a heroic act, you don't have to be super serious about it all the time. Laughter and funny memes about parenting can make even the worst situation seem easier. Everyone who’s going through a process called parenthood will find parenting memes funny and totally relatable.
It may seem to you like no one is going through the same stuff you do, but you’ll be surprised to find out how many people have had or are having the exact same experience trying to force their children to eat vegetables or wear a decent pair of pants when they go outside.
Reading about your troubles through someone else’s humorous perspective can help you see that it’s not, after all, all that terrible. Maybe next time your child has a meltdown over their broccoli touching their mashed potatoes on the plate, you can turn it into more “parenting is hard” memes to make other parents feel better.

this is extremely accurate. Could never get my nephew down in his crib, he always just ended up sleeping on my boobs. I held in many a full bladder so he could get a nap in!

Is It Okay to Tell Parenting Jokes?
Like with any other type of jokes, balance is key. If you know someone who’s going through the general hurdles of parenting, funny mom memes or dad memes might offer them the necessary tension release they need to carry on.
On the other hand, if the person in question is going through some serious stuff as a parent, it might not be the time for joking. Save the “parenting is hard” memes for later and share them once you feel they have the bandwidth for some parenting jokes.

Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy!

But it's still so sweet, after they're grown ups, to hear them say "Hi Mom!" or text you like "Hey Mom, what's the recipe for that awesome (insert food here) you make?" <3 We do - but hearing *Mom* never gets old.

When they look up because of the noise, but then magically lay their head back down. Talk about feeling extreme emotions in just two seconds.

You Don't Know Exhaustion

That`s why I think I`ll never have kids. If it`s a tiring job you do mainly at home, it`s not for me. I barely stand homework and housework, I don`t need screaming kids.

I tried this once. Forged my mom's signature. Somehow, they figured out the cursive 8-year-old writing wasn't my mom.
