If you've ever been on parenting duty, you know that it's a rollercoaster in the truest sense. Little ones start to bawl, things break, and suddenly you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. But then a dad joke comes along and you know that everything will be alright.
Fathers are wonderful creatures. Sure, they're sometimes charmingly lackadaisical. But they inspire entire TV shows and a whole different approach to parenthood for a reason. Moms don't get how they manage. Nobody does, except the wonderful weirdos that are the dads of our world. The 'Life of Dad' Instagram page has been on the mission to "celebrate the adventures of fatherhood" for a while now, and so Bored Panda handpicked the pinnacle of dad memes from the page for you to chuckle at.

omg... This past Mother's Day my daughter (14) and her two friends wanted to make me cards. I was expecting the average teenager stuff, you know like HAPPY MOTHER'S day with a heart, but both her friends wrote out how much I have helped and listened to them when they were down. I broke down and started crying because my goal as a mom was to be the person I needed when I was a kid. That day, I realized that I have reached my goal 😌😌😌
Aw, he/she has blind faith in the awesomeness of his/her sibling. That is cute. But maybe step in before they make the first flight attempt!
I wish I could have done this for my dad :( He sustained a catastrophic brain injury when I was 18 and was bedridden/near-vegetative for 20+ years. He died in 2021. I was the only one in my family who stayed at his bedside the night he died, and I was able to hold his hand as he went. But I sure wish I could have at least poured a beer into his feeding tube!
forgot to say when you wake up from a four hour nap & your toddler is gone lol
Mine sleeps like this when we allow him in our bed AND FARTS. I mean chemichal weapon farts.
And how often they knew perfectly well that you were lying.
If I was playing with the older controllers maybe but the new ones have too many buttons. I was really looking forward to annihilating my kid in Super Smash Bros. I used to be darn near unbeatable but apparently I don't have the brain capacity to learn how the switch controllers work.
Unfortunately, I would react to something before my brain could catch up.
😂 I mean understandable. Subway is not exactly food, it’s more like having a mistake made in front of you.
Aw, but I LOVE socks. I have a drawer full of crazy socks. I'm 41, I figured it's finally my time to dress like I want to XD Socks should be a thing of joy for all!
The amount of recyclable "trash" in these pictures hurts my hollier-than-thou European eye like there is a toddler poking it over and over :(
FYI, some places don't have recycling. My best friend has to take hers to her parents house. Because, the city wants to over charge the condos where she lives.

because it's division of labour. Traditionally wife's job is to cook man's job is to remove trash. At least in the west. hence the piled up trash is cooking stuff. The roles are nonsense of course, but if he was allowed to not do the minimum task of taking out the trash, what would he do? sit on the couch?

She shouldn't have to. You live there, too you lazy f*cking jacka$$.
Exactly that! Why would you watch this happen and just do nothing but wait until the other's fed up with it and does it?

I do the garbage and yes I’m a woman. My partner doesn’t do it. He’s cooking and doing the dishes as I’m bad at those.
If it's a job I'd be doing if I were living alone, I just get on and do it. It takes more energy being angry about it. I'm not being holier than thou here. I figure I'm going to live longer than my partner if I keep my stress down, and as a widow I'll still be doing all the same chores (just in less volume, so... less all round). If my partner outlives me, it's no skin off my nose to have done these things (see mention of keeping stress down), and they'll be screwed and living in a pig sty asking themselves why they have sooooooooo much more work to do. Win/Win. >wink!<
It’s all the couch’s fault in my house. And gravity is an accomplice. All family members are innocent bystanders in the whodunnit mystery of “where did the remote go?”
