You have faceless Instagram accounts recycling parenting memes, trying to capitalize on the latest buzzwords and then you have 'Parent Normal.'

It's run by writer Chris Cate who is a "3x dad" himself, so you know the content he shares is coming from someone with real-life experience and an understanding of what raising kids actually feels like. Which is probably the reason why 157,000 people are already following his carefully-curated feed.

The best part is that you don't even have to be a mother or father yourself to get these jokes. Thanks to all the pop-culture references, they're universal. So continue scrolling to check out the latest memes Chris has shared and for his older gems, open up our first publication on him.

It's like with that c**k waking up screaming. We don't know why but we understand.

I once accused my mom of having kids to get her dishes done. I remember being quite offended when she laughed at me.

I stopped using my bedroom for anything other than sleep. No TV, no computer, no phone other than seeing the alarm. Really conditioned me to "this room is for sleeping" and helped a lot

I had my kid young, the first 14 years of her life we were asked if we were sisters, great for me, she wasn't impressed. It mostly happened when I got asked for ID when buying tobacco and alcohol.

Oh my, I'm rather deaf and have been for more than 30 years - nerve damage so hearing aids don't work. Babysitting the grandchildren and 7 year old is yelling around 10pm. Go up, ask what's the matter - she yells something which to me sounded really garbled and I couldn't understand. I ask her nicely to repeat it more slowly and quietly as I couldn't understand. More garble and why can't you understand me at the end. I'm deaf, I reply, surely you know this? Another headfit "You're lying, you're not deaf" Turns out that the only deaf children she knows all had cochlear implants, so you're not deaf unless you have one, ...
