The idea that memes are some niche content for tech-savvy teens has long passed, now it’s basically the default medium for online content among multiple generations. So it shouldn’t be surprising that even parents can and will make memes about their experiences. 

The “Stay at Homies” Instagram page focuses on memes and posts that might be both amusing and painfully relatable to parents. We got in touch with the page’s creator and admin to learn more. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and comment your thoughts below.

My grandma would have been like this too. God bless her. A fierce, strong, passionate woman with an endlessly kind heart.

    Bored Panda got in touch with the creator and administrator of “Stay At Homies” and they were kind enough to share some details about the page and answer some of our questions. Firstly, we were curious to know what inspired the page’s creation in the first place. 

    “I created the account across all the major platforms back in 2018. It originally was a sarcastic blog but then I realized most stay-at-home parents don't have time to read! So, I started making memes and posts. I didn't want to be the "perfect home, perfect family" account. So I tried to showcase how tough and messy parenting can be but with sarcasm to hopefully make others in the same situation laugh.”

    Can confirm. It's usually more contained on less mobile and diaper wearing younger ones.

    We also wanted to know more about the page’s name.“I created the Stay at Homies name to try and portray that it was for stay-at-home parents and also for laughs. Then when COVID hit, it became even more relevant!” they shared with Bored Panda, referencing the early part of 2020 where most places ordered folks to not leave the house if possible.

    Having a son I realized the old joke about rocks, bottle caps, sticks, bugs, etc in pockets was true. Most get snuck into my pockets too. In fact there is a cup filled with dirt with pet worms on my counter still.

    Given that the page has multiple large follower groups across various social media, we wanted to hear their take on why the content is so popular. “I've been lucky to be successful on IG and Twitter bc I found a great group of other sarcastic parents and we support one another. Those friends also help with creativity, which, as stay-at-home parents, our creative reach is usually limited to rolling Play-Doh balls for our kids to smash. Exciting, I know.”

    I was getting an MRI recently. The doctor warned me it would be loud and uncomfortable. I put on the headphones and fell asleep. He was shocked. I said it was the most quite and downtime I have had in years

    “I try and only post stuff that's light-hearted and will make people laugh. It's hard enough with the daily struggles. I just want parents to pop over to my account, have a quick laugh, and then feel like they can go handle that toddler having a meltdown over the wrong color cup,” they shared when we inquired about their philosophy for picking what content to post.

    Probably someone would use this pic as an example of how far and unnatural feminism is going... forcing men to give birth.

    “Social media has been a great place for stay-at-home parents to actually network and gain friendships they normally wouldn't have time to find. You can join groups of parents that are perfect for the introvert or extrovert. It's a great way to know you're not alone,” they added as a parting thought. We also asked what was the admin's favorite post. You can find it here

    Hah whatever my son says the same thing. I'll take it any day. I'm going to be missing that when he is a grouchy teenager. Plus before I had kids I figured I'd be waiting for them turning 18 now I can't imagine life without him around all the time

    Except that in real life your kid is calling the other drivers names and telling them to move because they learned that from you.

    5am light just starts to peek out over the mountain and my son flies out of bed doing summersaults and cartwheels. Meanwhile I need an hour and some coffee to remember my name.

    As a mom, from the bottom of my heart: no. Make one (1) meal. Don’t force them to eat. They’ll be fine. And have dad and kids make it now and again, too. (Doesn’t apply when people have allergies/different diets ofc)

    Amen - also for little kids, I find that wearing shorts under skirts is to stop sand irritating their pubic area. Because sand gets everywhere at that age, and they move around a lot. Ouch.

    I always tell my daughter how strong she looks and how her heart and lungs are working hard when she does sport to help her blood travel around her body. None of this "Ew, sport makes you sweaty" or "Little ladies don't sweat" or "I wish I could do XYZ but I don't like the way I look in sports clothes". Basically blocking out my own mother's voice.

    Make the meals bigger and distract them. Our kids have one snack time, after school/nursery, and they don't always remember to ask for that if we are too engrossed in a game. Don't get into the habit of giving them snacks unless they ask for them. We certainly never got snacks when I was young - I'm pretty sure most of our generation did without them.
