There are many posts and even books telling you how glorious and fulfilling it is raising children. The reality is, though, that you're often being vomited on, you have literally zero spare time, dragging insomnia, and we're the ones that absolutely sympathize with you.

While producing a decent human being from scratch is nothing short of a heroic act, you don't have to be super serious about it all the time. Laughter and parenting memes, after all, can make even the worst situation seem easier. Funny parenting memes are the amusing little jokes that everyone who's going through a process called parenthood, will find relatable and totally hilarious.

So, do you feel like throwing a party every time your kid finally goes to sleep at night? Do you dread the thought of having to move your child's car seat into another car? Is parenting your children akin to dealing with a pack of Velociraptors? If you find yourself nodding wildly to any or all of the above, then this list of hilarious parent memes compiled by Bored Panda is especially for you. Don't forget to vote for the funniest memes!

Teaching your kid to be good with his/her hands can be a double edged sword. I learned that from experience.

this is extremely accurate. Could never get my nephew down in his crib, he always just ended up sleeping on my boobs. I held in many a full bladder so he could get a nap in!

Its always the youngest one. The oldest one already knows better, and the middle one is too busy pouting to really care.

This is only true when there are three or more kids. The youngest always gets the attention and goodies, and is spoiled rotten. The first kid gets his goodies from being the most mature and hard working. But the middle kid is always the odd one out in any equation.

But it's still so sweet, after they're grown ups, to hear them say "Hi Mom!" or text you like "Hey Mom, what's the recipe for that awesome (insert food here) you make?" <3 We do - but hearing *Mom* never gets old.

When they look up because of the noise, but then magically lay their head back down. Talk about feeling extreme emotions in just two seconds.

In that case, she's not paying close attention, or the little one hasn't thought of it yet. LOL!

That`s why I think I`ll never have kids. If it`s a tiring job you do mainly at home, it`s not for me. I barely stand homework and housework, I don`t need screaming kids.

I tried this once. Forged my mom's signature. Somehow, they figured out the cursive 8-year-old writing wasn't my mom.
