The idea that memes are some niche content for tech-savvy teens has long passed, now it’s basically the default medium for online content among multiple generations. So it shouldn’t be surprising that even parents can and will make memes about their experiences.
The “Stay at Homies” Instagram page focuses on memes and posts that might be both amusing and painfully relatable to parents. We got in touch with the page’s creator and admin to learn more. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and comment your thoughts below.

My grandma would have been like this too. God bless her. A fierce, strong, passionate woman with an endlessly kind heart.
My grandmother would never have done this. She would have gone on right ahead without asking.
You're right about not kidding & makes me think of my Mom. She was tough as a boot and her 5 daughters inherited that from her
Load More Replies...Grandma makes an excellent point, but should not have discussed it with the Grandaughter as now GD could be charged with Conspiracy. GM should have just done it and not told anyone. Not saying she should though, just avoiding Conspiracy.
yeah, i did a little loser dance when i won a game of worms against my 7 year old grandson. thats because he was a loser!
I have a dear friend who is the kindest, sweetest person...unless she's playing a game. Then she's ruthless.
All I remember about card and board games with family/ sibs, is the arguing heading rapidly towards fighting and occasional destruction of game parts or cards.
My 95 year aunt slamming down on the teenagers playing Trouble, "take that!".
Brilliant, your daughter is incredibly funny. You will have to remind her of this, if the time comes!
Bored Panda got in touch with the creator and administrator of “Stay At Homies” and they were kind enough to share some details about the page and answer some of our questions. Firstly, we were curious to know what inspired the page’s creation in the first place.
“I created the account across all the major platforms back in 2018. It originally was a sarcastic blog but then I realized most stay-at-home parents don't have time to read! So, I started making memes and posts. I didn't want to be the "perfect home, perfect family" account. So I tried to showcase how tough and messy parenting can be but with sarcasm to hopefully make others in the same situation laugh.”
We’ve got a pretty good system for ourselves & our 10yo. Everything has a place, but putting things away immediately doesn’t always take precedence over other life stuff. Luckily, we’re all rather neat/organized thanks to conditioning from my clinical OCD. If things get too outta hand & any one of us is slacking too much, one of us plays this particular song on the home sound system called “Everything In It’s Right Place” by Radiohead. It then becomes a family game to figure out what’s not where it goes and getting it there then figuring out who primarily caused the downfall into disorganization.
The confusion on my husbands face when I say I put it back where it belongs. He does not know where it belongs so I smugly smile and inform him that's a him problem.
..... my mom n brothers are slobs. Everytime I go to their house I end up reorganizing their fridge or their cabinets or just cleaning. They accused me of throwing out food they wanted to eat.... S**T WAS OVER A YEAR OLD! I venmoed them $50 to replace the damn mayo & dressings they definitely should NOT have been eating.... wild that I get mean texts & calls just bc I didn't want them to die.... one of the bottles was like.. expanded n looked like it was going to explode. I saved them from botulism n I had to pay them for it.
You meant well, but reorganizing other people’s stuff is rarely welcome
Load More Replies...Thats my daughter!!! She does this to everybody- and nobody can find a thing afterwards... 🤯😵💫🤣
Can confirm. It's usually more contained on less mobile and diaper wearing younger ones.
Until they remove the diaper and smear poop everywhere like my daughter did on the couch one time

My husband's phone went off at 5 am from an old alarm he forgot to disable and then it went off again at 6:15. We don't have to get up until almost 7. He's lucky to be alive let me tell you.
Load More Replies...meh, not when i have to wake up at 05.10, other than that, sounds good
We also wanted to know more about the page’s name.“I created the Stay at Homies name to try and portray that it was for stay-at-home parents and also for laughs. Then when COVID hit, it became even more relevant!” they shared with Bored Panda, referencing the early part of 2020 where most places ordered folks to not leave the house if possible.
And they STILL won't wake up. My teenagers all slept like the dead.
Load More Replies...When she's a teenager she won't feel like talking to you about much anymore. You'll miss these cheesey mornings.
Then make up a song about it, and sing it to her. Very loudly in her ear.
I was never allowed in my parents bedroom, let alone in their bed. I would never have dared go in there!
My mom used have us play ´seals’, we would lie down close our eyes and be seals. Clever mommy.
Parenting is mostly this. Finding a way to get them to do what you want..
Having a son I realized the old joke about rocks, bottle caps, sticks, bugs, etc in pockets was true. Most get snuck into my pockets too. In fact there is a cup filled with dirt with pet worms on my counter still.
I've got girls, but mines conkers, rocks, sticks, bottle caps (the local pub collects for one of them) and anything weird they find outside, they like to randomly hand me worms and baby frogs, which I'm not scared of, but when you're not expect it and not properly looking, something moving in your hand that you weren't expecting to move can really s#/t you up 😅
Load More Replies...My son, 4, set up a 'store' in the back yard of my parents. He sold rocks and sticks and pinecones to his aunts. He made good money, and now is an actuary making really good money.
That's the cutest thing I've ever heard. I definitely would have purchased a pinecone and a rock.
Load More Replies...My boys know that I like and collect pretty rocks so they will keep their eyes open for them and bring them to me when they find them.
My son keeps most of his rocks in an empty fish tank, but some of his cooler ones are randomly around the house as decorations. I love it.
And dead leaves, and bugs. If you're lucky, the bugs will be in jars. My daughter is in her 30s. She is still doing this.
Or indoor rocks in the honey. Not kidding. When my oldest was about 5, I had the honey in a wee bucket. I took the lid off one day, and there were several rocks in there (each about the size of a marble). When asked what was going on, she very calmly told us she'd got them from the garden & put them in, all the while eating without a care in the world. Like it wasn't the weirdest thing. I was too afraid to ask why, and just had to bin the whole bucket of honey. Wish I was kidding.
Rocks are everywhere, but noone beats my kids at collecting sticks. Or branches. Or small trees. Everyday when I pick them up from kindergarten they have at least two new "sticks", at least 1,50 m long. Great for the fireplace if they don't realize you want to burn "their" sticks.. and most of the time they will.
Given that the page has multiple large follower groups across various social media, we wanted to hear their take on why the content is so popular. “I've been lucky to be successful on IG and Twitter bc I found a great group of other sarcastic parents and we support one another. Those friends also help with creativity, which, as stay-at-home parents, our creative reach is usually limited to rolling Play-Doh balls for our kids to smash. Exciting, I know.”
I was getting an MRI recently. The doctor warned me it would be loud and uncomfortable. I put on the headphones and fell asleep. He was shocked. I said it was the most quite and downtime I have had in years
Strangely enough I also find the MRI oddly relaxing 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...I sleep while I'm at the dentist's too. I just pretend the light above me is too bright so I close my eyes. They always comment on how relaxed my mouth is so it's easy to do their job! I just hope I don't snore.
I fell asleep during a root canal, apparently the first time ever for the dentist. (The appointment was at 9am on Boxing Day - I have three kids)
Between the time it's ordered and it arrives, you will find 30 available for a lower cost.
I won't continue looking for a product once the order is placed. I did get the best deal available at that moment, the best value, the better product. What happens afterward? I'm not interested, nobody is going to ruin that moment of satisfaction that clicking "proceed to checkout" brings.
Load More Replies...Probably because its too much effort to review a product thats just "meh alright"
Ah, you beat me to it. Apparently I'm like four days behind on my procrastinating!
Load More Replies...Yup! My wife is mad that I “taught” the kids the subtle art of sarcasm…. 🤣
“I try and only post stuff that's light-hearted and will make people laugh. It's hard enough with the daily struggles. I just want parents to pop over to my account, have a quick laugh, and then feel like they can go handle that toddler having a meltdown over the wrong color cup,” they shared when we inquired about their philosophy for picking what content to post.
Probably someone would use this pic as an example of how far and unnatural feminism is going... forcing men to give birth.
I can already hear all the political conspiracy far right YouTube channels: "These libs are going too far. This is what they're wanting to teach the children, that even men can give birth. These crazy trans people are just shoving their agenda in our faces just because they want to normalize chopping the d**ks off 4 year Olds to make Johnny into a Jenny. Sleepy Joe is passing this into law if he gets reelected and he'll have the illegals stand guard so no true patriot can change these blah blah blah blah stuff. This is Biden's America, people. Men giving birth. Blah blah gender blah blah stolen election blah blah guns, gays, blah blah Disney, blah blah maga,blah fkn blah banned books...." (I am so over this s**t, btw)
Load More Replies...worse thing I've heard is being able to do uterine transplants...have yet to see info on how much damage the antirejection treatments are going to do to any fetus
You DO understand uterine transplants have been happening for a while now, almost always to deal with a current pregnancy and for biologically female patients? This isn’t an elective or cosmetic or gender affirming procedure, but one that saves lives.

Load More Replies...When our son was 3, we were taking our afternoon nap together. He woke up & decided he didn’t want to wake me, but did want to want to do some gardening. Naked. We’re rural/off-grid, live amongst Hawaiian homesteads in the jungle, so have larger properties, but nearby neighbors. Two homes down is a VRBO vacation home. The couple staying there had to use the kings trail across the roadside edge of our property to get to our little (clothing optional) beach. They happened to notice our little man playing in the garden & came over to talk to him to see why a toddler was naked in a yard, which woke me up. We chatted & they seemed to grasp this wasn’t so unusual nor dangerous. I thought all was well. A week or so later a CPS case worker showed up. There was no case opened & it was a nonissue. These pearl-clutching f*****s came to our little paradise in the jungle & couldn’t fathom that a 3yo was safe in his yard & must be neglected because he was nude. We got sensors after that.
I sometimes thought it might be nice to have another baby. Then I had a drink and it went away
We always used to say 'if you're feeling clucky go to the supermarket on a Saturday morning'. That will get rid of that clucky feeling quick smart!
“Social media has been a great place for stay-at-home parents to actually network and gain friendships they normally wouldn't have time to find. You can join groups of parents that are perfect for the introvert or extrovert. It's a great way to know you're not alone,” they added as a parting thought. We also asked what was the admin's favorite post. You can find it here.
"1,2,3 I got magic lava suits for you all". Dad counter-attacks because I work from home, I'm self-employed, this project must be delivered tomorrow and I love you, but we had a deal, honey.

Hah whatever my son says the same thing. I'll take it any day. I'm going to be missing that when he is a grouchy teenager. Plus before I had kids I figured I'd be waiting for them turning 18 now I can't imagine life without him around all the time
My two oldest kids (5 and 7) is beginning to realise that they will move out some day. One will move next door (one neighbor is a huge farm with several workers the other is a very old house that hasn't been worked on for at least 30 years... it's falling apart) and one will move to grandma's (she assumes grandpa is dead by then). They always conclude, though, that they will move into our house when me and my bf move out. And sometimes 5yo wants to just stay here with moooooom forever. It's cute. In 10 years they'll be screaming that they want to move out asap.
Except that in real life your kid is calling the other drivers names and telling them to move because they learned that from you.
my kid also yells at the cars. i have since tried to stop doing it as much. but hearing him say "c'mon, move already" was hilarious, but i dont want him to have that much anger at other drivers at 3 years old.
We taught our son to take deep breaths and count to ten when he's upset and now he tells us to do it all the time. Not even when we're upset; we just raise our voices in excitement and he's like, "You need to breathe! Calm down!"
My sad truth: my daughter is better at calming me down than anyone else. Your very own therapist never goes away. (Typo)
When my sister ever had a hangover she'd just phone me or our Mom to come and take over
Just use a knife as a lever to lift the lid a tiny bit. That breaks the vacuum and the lid comes off easy peasy.
Butter knife works well. No need to use a sharp knife, unless you want to temp fate.
Load More Replies...Hit the lid a couple of times with a wooden spoon to release the seal, or hold the lid in steam from the kettle to make the metal expand.
The worst was the day I was mad at my husband, and then my friend came over and GUSHED about him because he helped her car out of a ditch. I'm like, yeah, he's great I guess. lol.
Run it under some hot water for a couple of minutes and it should pop open easily. No need for a knife!
Heat the lid gently ( not in the microwave obv ) and it expands the lid :)
My preferred method was to have my neighbor, a big, strong guy, open the jar for me. Cost me a plate of whatever I was cooking, but it was worth it.
Slam the top side of the jar onto a flat surface (no plastic lids). No dents, no knifes, no partners. Works every time.
Tell them to make a batch and bring some over so you can give them pointers. :-)
Try telling them you actually dont use a recipe for those things you have been making for years.

Load More Replies...Our weekly date nights have saved our marriage. Once a week we go out and have fun. We go to dinner, or a dance, or maybe a movie. The main thing is, whoever gets home first, leaves the light on for the other one.
Your know, it used to be normal, and I'm pretty sure in most countries it's still normal.
Many moons ago when my brother and I were babies, starting to eat solid food, my parents essentially took whatever they were eating and put it in a blender. They started feeding us their meals to get us used to normal foods and not sugary baby food. It kinda bit them in the a*s when we developed tastes for good seafood and steaks. It also produced good eating habits also adults.
Growing up in the 70's, my mom didn't make anything she knew we hated, but she made what she made and we ate it, no choices and no complaints allowed.
I had a choice. Eat what mom/dad made...or try 3 bites and then have a bowl of cereal. I'll still choose cereal over liver & onions.
Even pet reptiles quickly learn that if they first refuse the foods they don't like much, you might give them the good stuff instead (as you worry about them not eatin). Your parents were well intentioned but trained you wrong.
Load More Replies...I don't understand how you can make multiple meals you're just teaching your kids to be fussy. As a child we always had 1 meal for everyone and if you didn't like it you weren't required to eat it but you didn't get a different meal you just ate it anyway or went to bed hungry. If you wanted pudding you had to eat all your food (unless it was a big dinner and then you only had to eat most of it).
Forgot to add: if someone really hated something they might get something different but not an entire different meal. E.g. my sister hated sweetcorn so she would get peas instead. And if there was a meal that most people hated mum would just not bother cooking it instead of forcing something that everyone hated. And we have a big family so if it was curry or chicken and the sauce was spicy shed make a mild one too so everyone could enjoy the meal
Load More Replies...We have one extremely picky eater, and after trying everything we could think of, we bought a book about extremely picky eating. The bottom line? Serve what you serve, but accept the kid will only eat what he eats. You can't force it. Turning eating into a battle of wills helps no one. You have to create an environment where they feel both in control, and comfortable enough to decide when and how they expand their diet. At least, that's according to the book. From personal experience of my own parents trying to force me to eat, that sh*t don't work. Plus there may be sensory or other issues you're not yet aware of.

We have started doing movie night on Fridays for our son. We get the popcorn, sit under some blankets on the sofa, switch off the lights and watch Disney/Pixar films.

When your growing child thinks that song is new. And you know it was a 80s cover of a 60s song. Hears your 80s verson and realises yes its better
Just wait it out; the day will come they will rediscover the eighties. They be like : guess what cool new song I heard? I'm not telling them the truth about Alice Cooper and Poison... that just happens to be a very cool new song
When my son was a teen and discovered Bob Marley, wouldn't believe me I knew any of the songs. I said pick a song, and I can at least partially sing the lyrics. He did, I did. He was kind of shocked his mother was more cool than he thought.
As an irish person I cannot fathom the green drinks that people have abroad on Patrick's day!!! Like why?!! Talk about ruining a decent pint!

Granted, I understand women with larger bosoms need the support, but the fact that it is a "societal norm" for women, and that they face scrutiny from all sides if they don't' adhere has always felt like institutional sexism to me.
Amen - also for little kids, I find that wearing shorts under skirts is to stop sand irritating their pubic area. Because sand gets everywhere at that age, and they move around a lot. Ouch.
I still wear little shorts under short dresses sometimes. I'm not very ladylike in my movements and I'd rather not have to worry about flashing anyone.

Wow that still a thing? I'm 40 and I only ever encountered the opposite as in way too many parents making their kids do sports that the kid had no interest in. Like the mom's/dads who wanted to be an Olympic swimmer who failed and now forces them to take over their dead dream. Not talking about parents genuinely pushing their kids to be active but the ones who insist little johnny play football when he hates it but won't allow them to play hockey because "we're a football family".

God, I hate that moment of having to come through the door with kids in tow. Especially if it's raining and everything's stuck to you. I have SPS and it makes it genuinely unbearable. I realised I was being a bit b****y with my kids whenever we were in the process of getting through the door, so I explained it to my 4YO and said I needed a minute of quiet when coming home, from the point we see our front door until I've been for a wee. It works very well. I'm a lot nicer now and feel less guilty.

I'm the budget conscious one here. My husband and daughter go shopping and come home with 10 different kinds of snacks we don't need that weren't on the list I sent them with.
It wouldn't matter even if you remembered what you did in school. The way they teach them math has changed so much with so many extra steps that I have no idea what my daughter is supposed to do for her homework half of the time.
Lots of people?? My daughter is 24 and wants to have 3 kids by the time she’s 30. I’m sure she’ll change her mind after the first two but she wants to have them while she’s young enough to get her figure back, has the energy to raise them and have them in college just before she’s ready to retire

Load More Replies...Make the meals bigger and distract them. Our kids have one snack time, after school/nursery, and they don't always remember to ask for that if we are too engrossed in a game. Don't get into the habit of giving them snacks unless they ask for them. We certainly never got snacks when I was young - I'm pretty sure most of our generation did without them.
I didn't get snacks growing up but I also have a very unhealthy relationship with food due to being forced to eat larger meals. Some kids do better with little often.
Load More Replies...Was a huge scare around 2018, causing kids to commit suicide because of her threats. That’s what I understood at least
Load More Replies...I agree with all commenters before me. It’s nasty and mean. Also anything that is bad spot or falls on the floor I put on the side of my plate, and my husband will eat it because he doesn’t care. I call him steel stomach because he never gets sick from questionable quality food.
A few of these seem to think they're somehow the victims of their children. Weird - presumably it was their choice to have kids?
Yes I agree with you. Like when my horrible mother tells me I was an awful baby with colic and that's why she gave me up for adoption. Then changed her mind and got me back somehow. She decided to tell me on my 40th birthday in an email. Probably don't have to tell you but there's no relationship with her anymore. Probably because she was extremely abusive to me my whole childhood and never took any responsiblitly for her actions. But that email was the last straw. Some people should NEVER have children, as per this example.
