Many posts and even books tell you how glorious and fulfilling it is to raise children. The reality is, though, that you’re often vomited on, have literally zero spare time, and are haunted by dragging insomnia, and this is just the beginning of the list. Sincerely, we absolutely sympathize with you.
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, we invite you to take a look at this list of hilarious “parenting is hard” memes we’ve compiled for you. Have a good laugh, and don't forget to vote for the funniest memes!

Funny Parenting Memes Can Help You Through The Day
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 funny memes about parenting can make even the worst situation seem easier. Everyone who’s going through a process called parenthood will find parenting memes funny and totally relatable.
It may seem to you like no one is going through the same stuff you do, but you’ll be surprised to find out how many people have had or are having the exact same experience trying to force their children to eat vegetables or wear a decent pair of pants when they go outside.
Reading about your troubles through someone else’s humorous perspective can help you see that it’s not, after all, all that terrible. Maybe next time your child has a meltdown over their broccoli touching their mashed potatoes on the plate, you can turn it into more “parenting is hard” memes to make other parents feel better.

Moving A Sleeping Baby
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!
Sleep Is For The Weak
You also haven't dressed up in so long you have no idea what the current style is.

Going to the bathroom is a group activity once you have kids, hope you like an audience!
The "I Told You"
Bedtime Routine
Kid's Room Decor
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.
I feel like your theory is true these days, but growing up the youngest of 3 daughters, I always got the c**p hand-me-downs. Never new stuff, and hardly any photographs of me. :)
Load More Replies...Don't be rude it is only true if there is more than 3-4 kids the young ones get the attention and the older ones don't get as much attention
Load More Replies...There where 2 kids in that 1st picture. How is this even possible? (please reply)
I think what many people are missing here is just the sheer wisdom of the parents the second time around. If your kids room is full of toys it's harder to get them to sleep. If there's only a bed... They have no distractions. mwahahaha. (As I type this my 3 yr old is in her bedroom right now crying that she wants to play toys at bedtime. Had to go help say no mid post. I rest my case.)
First cries; OMG WHAT DO I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL? Second cries and actually gets hurt; oh well she only ate plastic
Now that is so true. In family photo albums there are millions of pictures of my older brother. I come along and there is a good hundred. Kid brother arrives and I think there is one when he born, one when he is four and his wedding pictures!
Cause mom is too tired with 3 to take pics. Or older kids got the camera and used up all the film. I have a whole Roll of out-of-focus eyes, ears, fingers, floor and ceiling.
Load More Replies...There's 2 kids in the first room. So 2nd pic should be 3rd kid room. Win! No sharing necessary :)
Well, you could see it another way: when the room isn't filled with toys, there's nothing that distracts the kid from doing what he should. Sleeping, for instance. My son on his way to bed, enters the room, goes like: "hey, that's a nice thing to play with". Bed? What bed? 🙄
Load More Replies...Bathtime
Having to convince them to get in the tub"I don't want to take a bath", then trying to convince them to get out "I don't want to get out!"

Is It Okay to Tell Parenting Jokes?
Like with any other type of jokes, balance is key. If you know someone who’s going through the general hurdles of parenting, funny mom memes or dad memes might offer them the necessary tension release they need to carry on.
On the other hand, if the person in question is going through some serious stuff as a parent, it might not be the time for joking. Save the “parenting is hard” memes for later and share them once you feel they have the bandwidth for some parenting jokes.

Little Demons
Haha!! Her look totally says it all. She's like "Are you sure you wanna know?"
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy!
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.
Suspicious Silence

You Don't Know Exhaustion
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 am looking at these cuz I’m bored, this STUPID pandemic is keeping me in my room 24/7 and even though I can leave my room, I choose not to
look forward for this day to tell the world about the the great powers of Dr.akpada This great man called Dr.akpada was able to bring back my lover who left me before within the space of 48hours and since then my love life have been more lovly and peaceful than i ever had. You can also strengthen your relationship or get your lover back by contacting Dr.akpada on (akpadatemple@hotmail com) or whatssap +27732331494 and i assure you that you will get a better relationship ...
Promises can easily be made but can not be easily fulfilled, This was the first thing that crossed my mind when Dr akpada told me that he was going to bring my lover back to me within 48 hours. But i must say that i was shocked when i receive a call from my lover and she apologies for leaving me and begged me to take her back. These are among the benefit you get when you contact Dr akpada through these contact details via (akpadatemple@hotmail com) or whatssap +27732331494
I can related to my students and teachers as I am still single. And I laughs as some of those pics all really related to them too
200* (not just 10+)... [Put Tony Stark rolling eyes meme here with "Trying to get at the end of it but have to lock phone over a dozen times before ever reaching the end over an hour later"]
it's not that funny... i don't want children if it's going to be like this :(
