Oh, the joys of parenting. Some days are unimaginably chaotic, while others are full of joy, peace, and excitement. And sometimes, those days fit into one day filled with ups and downs. The only thing that is stable throughout is dads being dads.

They are a different species of men - kind and gentle while strong and strict at the same time. No wonder that with such a mix in mind, we are presented with dad jokes and memes.

These two mediums unite dads all around, and therefore, the Instagram account @viraldads was born. Here at Bored Panda, we are happy to present you with a collection of dad memes that will either make you giggle, leave you in awe, or make you cringe with embarrassment.

So, Pandas, we invite you to scroll down. Don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites.

    While out for a walk I saw a dad and daughter kicking a soccer ball around. She ran after the ball, turned and kicked it and yelled "I am so happy right now!" Melted my heart.

    Next step up is hot chocolate. Top shelf is hot chocolate with added marshmallows. — If that don’t make you feel at least a litte de-stressed, you’re using the wrong brands of chocolate and marshmallows.

    I miss that too. My teen daughter is completely over lego but used to love it as a kid. Just pouring a huge tub of bricks out onto the floor and building stuff is the best stress reliever an adult can possibly have, and it's a great way to bond with your kids so if you're doing that thing, I am very very pleased for you (and a tiny bit jealous)

    I literally always have to get up at 6:30, even if I stay up past midnight. At this point it's mostly my fault if I stay up too late since I have no bedtime now, but still it's annoying.

    I HATE Elf on the Shelf. The one in my first grade classroom traumatized me when it fell off the shelf onto me and everyone in the class blamed me for taking his magic away. I cried a lot and my parents had to promise to never get one for our house.

    Discuss with your kids teacher what the penalties are for unexcused lateness. As kids "If you make us late, you will be picking up litter all recess instead of playing, because I'm not writing you a note." Always worked to get us moving.
