30 Parenting Memes That Perfectly Capture What It’s Like To Raise Humans

6 year old at the tutoring center asked me, "Is meat people?" I talked to her about livestock, but she was so casual about the whole interaction that I'm pretty sure I could have told her the meat in the grocery store is people and that we are all cannibals, and she'd have been fine with it.

🤣

I spat out my wine at this one, f**** brilliant

Lawyer up. Now! 🤣

"It's not my fault! I TOLD her to clean her room!"

So true 😂😂!!!

I have a child who is both these children in one

Me and my brother. I would construct the awesome looking ramp from scrap wood and he would jump his bike on it.

Told my kids about a place in Australia where you get in a cage and observe those giant saltwater crocodiles. One kid looked terrified and the other... her face lit up and said she wanted to do that

My younger daughter once dangled her older sister over the bannisters, promising not to let her go. She did let her go and we spent the rest of the day at the hospital 🤦‍♀️

When my younger brother was about 4 or 5 he tied a towel around his neck to use as a cape and then jumped off my grandfather's garage roof thinking he could fly. I have no idea how he got up there or who was supposed to be watching him. He didn't get hurt at all so I guess that's a win!? There were only like 5 houses on my street and my grandfather lived across the street. This was in the early 60's.

But did he also have the BC on hand for after his little punchline? That is what elevates a husband/dad to next tier.

One can be dealt with in a few seconds. The other lasts much longer.

That's not funny, that's depressing. I know many women who refer to their husband as their "other child". Some of them are weirdly proud of this. I would be ashamed.

This is why polyandry isn't popular. Too much work.

My husband is very responsible and adult like. But our son is exactly like him in nonstop nonsense babble even when they are concentrating on something. So, I do pair them together as the guys when I tell my daughter away at college how much I miss her and the way we can sit in the same room for hours not talking while working on our own hobbies.

my friend used to say she had 3 children: 8, 10 & 43 years old

Bwa, independent. You tell him what to do all the time to feel in control. When he does something out of himself you tell him he should do it like this or like that. So now he asks you first before the nonsense starts. Now YOU think he is not independent. Actually, you are a control freak and he loves you too much to go against you every single time.

Peck, the word is peck. A principal should know that.

My question would have been did the bird get hurt?

That could easily have been my kid. Alawys chasing birds. Or snakes. Or rabbits.

Just another lesson in cause and effect.

Place your bets: Texas or Florida?

I went to the same school as my older brother. Whenever teachers saw my name, they asked if I was his sister. I always answered " No relation. I mean, he's my brother, but non relation". I could feel their relief.

I was the oldest, responsible well behaved and all that. From a small community so when I'm back in town and run into one of my old teachers I sometimes get "so how is [brother] and [sister]?" with that tone teachers have when they tell your mom "she has potential but.." When I tell them both are well and successful they always sigh with relief lol

Me with youtube, I can't play the sims, gacha, draw, etc without background noise

my tv stays on, regardless of what i'm doing--mostly reading--but i watch a lot less than you'd think. def background noise

Thst is me sometimes.

I turned on Expedition Unknown for my yorkiepoo for the fireworks...he also needed a double dose of tramadol and trazodol and ended up using my gun noise protection headphones on him before he was able to relax. Not the main fireworks, all the bozos who do it illegally. I just ordered a toddlers set for the next episode for him. He looked so peaceful though. And he didnt mind wearing them. headphones...71694a.jpg

I can follow so many programs for listening from the kitchen

upvote for kitties lol

I did this to my parents a number of times. As my father put it, just when he and Mom were comfortable, in would come this object, more often than not accompanied by a smaller object - the smaller object being the cat.

Loving family, so cute.

That's evil...

Got a good laugh out of me.

Genius

Don't forget to compare notes later.

I do this shamelessly, my comfy clothes are an undershirt and gym shorts. No shame at all!

Looks like my "going to the mailbox" costume.

And lice!

And just one shoe, we have no idea what's happened to the other.

@Justanotherpanda with no explanation at all....

How true, how true.

what in the Alabama is a "cousin brother"?

Can we back the truck up to brother cousin please?

I save all my photos to Google photos (my phone does it automatically, but I also manually upload ones taken with my regular camera). Google recognizes faces, and I share an automatically updated album with each kid, so they can always see all of their photos at any time.
