You have faceless Instagram accounts recycling parenting memes, trying to capitalize on the latest buzzwords and then you have 'Parent Normal.'

It's run by writer Chris Cate who is a "3x dad" himself, so you know the content he shares is coming from someone with real-life experience and an understanding of what raising kids actually feels like. Which is probably the reason why 157,000 people are already following his carefully-curated feed.

The best part is that you don't even have to be a mother or father yourself to get these jokes. Thanks to all the pop-culture references, they're universal. So continue scrolling to check out the latest memes Chris has shared and for his older gems, open up our first publication on him.

Needed my husband to take photos of me in different outfits. I'm either headless or I look like an upright corpse.

My bf seems to not understand the fact that you can zoom in and out when taking phots with a smartphone. Even when I tell him to zoom in. He's so funking awful at taking pics with a smartphone. Dammit, H!!!! (He has a more professional actual camera and he does amazing pics with that!)

This Tweet Has A Punchline At The End, But It Also Has A Lot Of Truth. Kids Often Have Really Boring Interests And Repeat The Same Boring Facts About Them. But As Much As I Want To Say “Who Cares,” My Kids Need Me To Listen To Them Talk About The Things They Love, Even If It’s Something I Find Mind Numbing Like Pokémon
