There’s no tougher job than being a parent, or so they say. The Pew Research Center analysis backs it up; it turns out that parents find caring for their children to be much more exhausting than the work they do for pay.

Scroll down below, upvote your favorite ones, and be sure to share your thoughts about the best job in the world—being a dad—in the comments!
