It’s no secret that parenting is hard. But somehow, when your toddler is melting down again because you dared to hand them the wrong snack, it feels like no one in the history of child-rearing has ever had it as bad as you.
The truth is, plenty of people have been there—and weirdly, that’s kind of comforting. One of them is the creator behind Death By Diapers, a self-described “geriatric millennial with 5 young kids using memes to cope with this beautifully tragic thing called parenthood.”
Below, you’ll find some of their funniest and most painfully relatable posts. So go ahead, enjoy those five rare minutes of bathroom peace and have a much-needed laugh.

I'm old enough to remember when the gender reveal was when the baby was born.
Meh, I'm old enough to remember when s*x didn't exist. We were all just formless amoeba floating in the abyss. When one of us got aroused we'd get it on with a little mitosis.

I miss that, my teen now video calls me or texts me when they want to show me something and they be in the same house
That's the Egyptian hieroglyph for indecision or the moment you realize it was a shart, depending on the context.
i've never understood that. they get mad at their kids for how they raised them. like what did you expect? are you going to yell at a kid for speaking french when you speak french because you expected german:?
I hate this trope so much. I'm 53 and got participation awards in the late 70s. You know, prime Boomer time.
Do Millennials still not realize that Gen X were their parents and Boomers were their grandparents?
There is crossover because people have babies at different ages, and they can have a wide age range of kids. These are not scientific labels, they are labels made up by the media.
Load More Replies...Because so many parents screamed obscenities at them if they didn't.
Load More Replies...Try to hug them in public is much worse, I'm only allowed walk with my kid if I am 10 feet behind them now
oh im a 14 year old girl but i always love holding my mum/dads hand or hugging them in public
Load More Replies...Every time I saw my kids with their friends I would say YOLO they would get so embarassed. And Tell me i wasnt allowed to say it because I dont know what it means . I know i just played stupid lol
My teen told me I wasn't allowed to yell chicken jockey. Go figure
Load More Replies...One time I did the floss dance in front of my tweens their friends. They died of embarrassment but the friends thought it was cool.
My brand new walking pad remote has no back on it after only 15 minutes of it being in the house, my kid had a Shot on it and lost the back of the remote already 😑
Nope. Can't afford a kid, a gaming system and Duracell - gimme some store brand batteries
Load More Replies...I was terribly stubborn when I was younger. If something wasn't going to seriously injure me my parents just let it happen. It was the only way I'd learn. Still is in a way. I learn best by doing rather than it being taught/shown to me.
Good that will teach you next time not to run, 5 minutes later same thing happens again 🙈
I'm gonna guess not the one with no hands, no feet, and black holes where the eyes should be?
Load More Replies...They're waiting for the grandkids to come for cuddles. I used to crawl into my grandpa's lap and watch Gunsmoke with him 😊
When my hubby and kids are ill I look after them. When I'm ill I look after them.
Meh. My wife and the mom absolutely collapses when she gets a common cold. In my house I'm the one that has to do everything even if I'm sick.
I've seen a lot of memes about so-called "man-flu" lately, and they still baffle me. Is this really a common thing? Don't know if it's because my Dad was a band teacher ( really hard to get adequate substitutes ), or because I've never had a long-term relationship ( so no matter how sick I get, the only person taking care of me is me ), but I've always been more of a "pretend everything is fine" kind of guy than a "make a big deal of how sick I am" kind.
While "man flu" is often used jokingly to describe men who seem to overreact to a cold or flu, there's some evidence to suggest that men might experience more severe symptoms and have weaker immune responses to viral respiratory infections than women. :)

I live alone and it’s hard to cook a full turkey dinner for one, but sometimes I buy a turkey leg and a couple potatoes etc and make a mini version :)
As the event planner for my work, can 100% agree. Any time there’s any event that involves kids, I pick up extra baby wipes 😂 great for sticky hands
Load More Replies...But not at the same time. Use a different wipe for your hands/face and butt.
"Use a different Mister Dentist for your dog!" (for us old people)
Load More Replies...And you day you won't need a pushchair and a baby bag - then you'll get rid of them and 2 weeks later your kid will "injure" themselves and won't be able to walk and too big to carry and you no longer have wipes for anything and you'll need them!
The only thing I've ever used as makeup wipes (on the rare occasions I wear makeup)
I don’t have children but I could say the same for my cat’s naked butt
When I was 14 I had to start babysitting at 4am, 5 mornings a week (I know, I know.) I’d get to the house and intend to just go back to sleep on their couch until 7ish when it was time to get the little girl up and ready for school. But she always woke up the moment I got there 🥲 and was bouncing off the walls excited to play dolls or whatever.
My son said "Dad, your belly is getting shorter" before bed this evening
A penalty should be applied if he didn't say, "Who wants to get Layed?"
You make a face like Dr. Phil? How did you get children in the first place?
What a dipsh!t a$$ answer, RiceRiceBaby. Like Christian men aren't the ones trying to hold us back in the 40's.
brainwashing works ..... besides, the army needs poor babies to sacrifice at war, sooooooo there you go (I see you fuming, maga lurker, don't you miss that downvote button!)
I hope your "contraception by misogyny" style works out. Also, an amazing way of telling everybody you have no clue what you're talking about without telling everybody you have no clue what you're talking about.
Load More Replies...and a big sisters diet-no baby girl, I don't want the sandwich you completely deconstructed and squished in your hand *she stuff's it in my mouth*
Load More Replies...This is the reason I gained 15 pounds in the first 10 years of my daughter's life. Although, mostly Mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches.
I always make sure the crust part has lots of peanut butter and jelly on it.
Because the parent is hungry :) and this is easier than making an extra meal for yourself
Load More Replies...When my kid was young and when they be in bed myself and husband be still looking at peppa pig while chatting for atleast 20 minutes before we released we could change the channel
It’s just a banana Michael, how much could it cost? $10?
Load More Replies...One of my coworkers is a natural light straw6blonde, her eyebrows are very dark reddish brown . Very pretty
Load More Replies...Yup, doing some rn... Oo here's the *beep beep mf, I'm done* from my washing machine...
Load More Replies...I have 2 clothing rules: pants are only required if we have company, and when we leave the house, clothes must be weather appropriate.
I thought he was coveted.in red slime. But now I realise he's just super sweaty in terrible lighting!
Load More Replies...I think they skip a generation 😂 my boomer grandparents love them. My Gen X parents don’t understand why they’re funny. I’m a millennial and while I’m not a fan, a lot of my fellow millennials seem to adore them. Gen Z doesn’t seem impressed. Gen A will probably love them. Idk 😂
I find this insulting. I never looked half as good as these guys. Ageing my a*s.
He looks like he’s just chilling on the couch, but the couch is another martial arts dude flipping him around 😂
