There are as many parenting tactics as there are parents. No wonder this is a somewhat controversial subject that can instantly ignite an argument between opinionated moms and dads that believe in different schools of raising their kids.

But the self-described “3 x Soccer Dad” Chris Cate has realized that humor is the best and possibly the only good way to talk about the joys and challenges of being a parent. On his Instagram account “Parent Normal,” dad Cate shares a daily dose of hilariously relatable memes and jokes he finds online with his audience of 159K.

The result is a funny compilation of miscellaneous posts that sum up the chaos of raising our little daredevils posted by people on the internet who know what they’re saying, and selected by dad Cate, who knows we're all gonna appreciate them!

    Parenting has become a daunting task for most parents in the current times. The reason why parenting has become quite challenging is due to the fact that our lifestyle is rapidly changing with newer requirements and demands being instilled into our lives. The time we live in is also to blame, since the worldwide pandemic and political turmoil in the world are changing the ways we live, work, and raise kids beyond recognition.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But since parents always want what’s best for their children, it’s hard for them to realize the world may not be as welcoming and easily navigated as it was for them. Today, parents are worried sick about their children’s prospects in an unstable world teeming with threats near and far—whole categories of jobs disappearing, global financial upheaval; terrorist attacks; refugees in misery; the environment under assault from poisons and rising temperatures.

    Madeline Levine, Ph.D. a psychologist, educator and co-founder of Challenge Success, a project of the Stanford Graduate School of Education, spoke with various parents from all walks of life: public, private, liberal, conservative, rural, urban, and most everything in between. “For more than a decade I’ve been crisscrossing the United States talking about rising rates of anxiety and depression in our kids, and more recently, about parenting challenges in our rapidly changing and uncertain environment.”

    What Levine found genuinely surprised her and it is the uniformity of concerns, regardless of which community she is in. “Parents want to know what to worry about and what they can safely take off their plates. They want to know how to prepare their kids to be successful in a future that seems so unpredictable. How to deal with the endless alarming news about children and teenagers,” she commented. “Most of all, they want to know how to protect their kids and ensure some stability for them in a world that seems anything but,” Levine added.

    What’s interesting is that the effect of uncertainty and fear is visible not only in parents, but also in children’s changing behavior. Levine recounted that ten years ago, her young patients were in a fury about the parental yoke: ‘It’s my life! Tell my mom and dad to back off. I’ll figure it out myself!’ This is long gone in our times.

    “One of the most disturbing developments in recent years has been the fading of youthful rebellion among the teenagers I see. It’s been replaced with resignation and a jaded demeanor I’d expect from folks many years older who had to work at jobs they despised in order to support a family or pay a mortgage,” Levine wrote.

    “‘You don’t understand,’ these teens will say, shaking their heads. ‘There is no way out of the next three years. I’m just going to suck it up. I have no choice.’ The belief that you can’t act on your own behalf is a significant contributor to depression at any age,” Levine argues. No wonder humor has become so widespread on the internet. Today memes are no longer the thing of youth, parents are also looking for jokes to lift up their spirits and find comfort in laughter.

    It's not parents, it's dads. "Their little girl is something precious to be protected. A creature they don't fully understand and can never truly empathise with, no matter the depth of their love. Plus, depending on the father, he remembers exactly what boyfriends want to do to girls like their daughter and there's no way in hell that's happening!" (Paraphrased from a friend of mine when his daughter turned 3 and announced she had a boyfriend in playgroup)

    Tapwater was the worst, according to our then-5YO. So in the kitchen I poured it in a non-descript bottle and started calling it 'real nature-water'. I gave it to her secretly and told her - like a drugdealer - that this was the real thing. 'Tastes so much better!'

    We should strive to teach children that everyone is inherently valuable, and that they're mostly average-ish, which is amazing. If we need to feel superior to something, we go outside and say "Look at all you dumb rocks" to the literal rocks.

    I remember my mum and I would do that whenever I had to go to the ophthalmologist, those were the days!

    I recently had this exact conversation with a 18 yr old : her: "when I'm old, like 30...." me: "do I look old to you?" her: "no way, you can't be much older than me" me: "well this is what 33 looks like, you might want to reconsider calling 30 "old"" her jaw literally dropped xD

    I don’t think I’ll have kids. Not because of any of these reasons, but because I know I’d only mess it up.

    Omg, when I was little I used to have really bad night terrors and onetime we were on vacation with a whole bunch of our family ( grandma, cousin, aunts uncles) and I had one and I was screaming and flipping mattresses and throwing stuff and my poor mom had to drag me to another room and hold me down while I was screaming and kicking her

    My best friend once took my phone and texted my dad saying “dad I’m in the hospital rn” there was 20 seconds of me yelling at him to never do that again as he probably worried the s**t out of my dad, then my phone buzzed, it said “hi in the hospital rn, I’m dad” it cracked us both up that it could have been an emergency and he decided to make a dad joke, my mom was pissed at him tho for that exact reason 😂😂😂😂😂

    Horns are warning devices that cover the sounds of my screaming, "move you $^#@" with my head out the window.

    My husband doesn’t understand how I can just ignore crying babies in restaurants and shops etc. Doesn’t bother me anymore after three of my own I can zone out other peoples.
