Add the societal pressure to be not just a mom, but a perfect one, and it becomes too much.

Look at the admiration on their little faces. The ultimate coolness level a parent can achieve.
Fantastic idea! I'm so fed up with having to choose (no idea how that fell to me!) and then being told 'don't fancy it'. Argh!
Memes used to be seen as something that belonged to a younger generation. Part of the miscellaneous language, they have power to point out a particular situation by showing it in a very relatable manner. Today, more and more parents are browsing the internet for humor-related content, much of which is made of memes. So how did that happen, you may wonder?
When life gets bumpy, and in the lives of parents, this is daily business, humor can become a savior. Funny parenting memes are one type of humor easily accessible via social media. On the more fundamental level, parenting memes reflect some of the quintessential aspects and experiences of raising kids that many families have in common. Memes help parents to recognize that they are not alone in their parenting journey, and this becomes a form of light-hearted relief.
My inlaws had the same problem with their dog. We have such an inconsistent bedtime that our dogs are too confused.
My dog used to wake me up at the same time every morning, which sucked on days off.
Load More Replies... My cat did this. If I didn't come up to bed she would stomp, yes I said stomp down the stairs meowing all the way and meow screech at me until I gave up and followed back up to bed. Then she wuld snuggly curl into my shoulder and purr at me until I fell asleep. Miss you my kaddy watz.
My cat did this! If I wasn't in bed by 930, she would make me. Jumped up in front of the TV screen during movie night once. Gotta love cats
My Guinea pigs have a rputine that I get home, shower And THEN feed them. If I fail to imediatelly feed them after my shower, they stare at me from the kitchen And cuss me out in piggy language
My cat has the rule that it's fine for her to sit on the table if there is a "cat bed" aka newspaper on it. She will sit on said newspaper and get really petulant if someone tries to shush her away.
I had a cat who slept on the bed with me and and a dog who slept under it (cave environment thing, I guess). Each night at bedtime the cat would proudly shoo/"spank" the dog from the top of the bed as the dog crawled under. It was like a nightly "tucking-in" routine.
My youngest will chase his older sis (molly) into the bathroom when my mom gets ready for bed. Its their "playtime" routine. One day he didnt do it (was in my room sleeping) she mom told me the next day molly was very distraught that her bro didnt chase her in

Mine definitely tell me when it's bedtime. TJ starts herding me around 9. Once I'm in my bedroom, she sits by my pillow where she sleeps. She starts yelling at me if I take too long to get in bed. Blanche starts nudging the covers to get underneath until I turn down my bedding. Creatures of habit.
We cat sat for friends for a week and their very bossy (and cute) kitty was policing our sleep time like we were in grade school! It was a riot, she even tried to herd my sister to sleep in my (& my hubby's) room until we convinced her everyone didn't sleep in some kinda puppy pile at our place :)
I have this problem. 7pm I watch the same programmev on the news channel. 730pm, dogs go for their last wee, 8pm l they go to bed. As soon as she hears me say goodnight, Caterina von Dumpling starts shouting from the top of the stairs. She's recently taken to coming down the stairs to hurry me along. *sigh*.
Caterina von Dumpling. OMG ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💋

My dog is like this. Every night at 11pm he whines to go to bed. But he won't put himself to bed if the bedroom light is off. My dog is scared of the dark.
Same here except it's an elderly Chihuahua that decided recently we should all be in bed around 9:30-10.
10pm my pug goss to his toy basket picks a soft toy he wants and comes to me and drops it at my feet then continues to noisily play with it till I get up and say bedtime , he then follows me up the stairs with his chosen toy in his mouth and gets onto my bed an, , daughters Guinea pig knowing this routine of biscuits at 10pm starts shouting from his cage looking his supper , he won't shut up till someone takes him out for a cuddle and then returns him to his indoor cage with lots of veg to keep him munching all night lol
My cat will scream if my sister and I aren’t in our rooms at 10pm.
My dog used to do the same when he was a pup, now he goes to sleep on the couch, gets mad when I stand up to go to bed and then stays on the couch until I’m nearly sleeping and the makes a grand entering in the bedroom and tells me it’s time for him to sleep!
I’m gonna doggy/kitty grandbaby sit soon. I must remember to have my daughter (Their mama) leave me clear rules for bedtime. Because otherwise it looks like it’s gonna be BEDLAM!
My cats are the same my youngest knows i game withy friends until 1230 pm If i DARE to go over that he comes in n pesters me until i stop n get settled into bed.
My dog is so bad that after we go into the bedroom to sleep, if I'm not laying down and actually looking like I'm trying to sleep, she lays in her bed telling me it's time for bed! (By moaning and making other doggie noises.) As soon as I "assume the position" she lays back down and goes to sleep! AND I OBEY HER! 🤦♀️
My dog and cats get so upset with me if I'm up too late for them! And it's not like they don't sleep all day!
I know right !? I've taught my dog 'key' words y'all know right ?..sit/stay etc I say "bed time " and he waits for me to shut off lights and follows me in

Getting ready for bed wakes you up! Particularly that flipping minty fresh toothpaste malarkey. Why has no one come up with flavours that will promote sleep? Chamomile toothpaste or something?!
Many moms and dads are under the immense stress of being perfect parents. But through the shared sense of absurdity that memes offer, they get a much-needed sense of encouragement. Parents realize that they will get through the challenging days, the rough patches, the uncertainties, and the worries. A little gesture like sending a parenting meme to a friend can be an excellent way to send some encouragement their way, share a laugh, and brighten their day.
Hmmm...perhaps I should ask my wife if I'm honestly the world's greatest lover.
At the same time, memes can be about anything and everything, and younger generations share the most memes. So understanding memes and knowing how to communicate using them is a way for parents to bridge the communication and generation gap between them and their children.
They also learn about their children’s culture and trends, as well as giving parents a sense of how they can better relate to their kids. For that reason, parenting memes can open doors to more in-depth conversations with our kids so they surpass the sole purpose of having a laugh.
LOL when I worked in home care I took care of a 96 year old. I would go in in the morning and say " how are you today?" Her answer was always a snarling " how do you think I am? I woke up AGAIN!" I never really understood until I hit 65. Sigh
that;s so damn relatable, i'm 36 old morning person with zero kids who likes to be in pyjamas by 9; if thing won't start by 6, i'm definitely not going
Imagine if field trips were a thing for employees. No, not a team building activity. Just a field trip where you take a day off work and learn how a medieval farm was run.
Aw, bet that was a fantastic laugh! I grew up on a farm and my dad would put us on the back of an old trailer, pulled by a tractor, and drive around the bumpiest fields with deep ruts in them. We would be jolted and thrown about and had to hang on for dear life! Dangerous? Yep! Fun? So much fun! We would be shrieking with laughter. If I had kids I wouldn't do it in a million years!!
It is probably more interesting and relatable. And more reflective of reality.
Fair play to them. I just have my dogs who never question my decisions or argue with me!
Coming from someone who grew up poor to the point that our summer "consisted of playing in a kiddie pool filled with the laundry rinse water (cause water cost money) I still don't understand the allure of Disney. Over priced garbage.
I remember 1 year my grandkids had been complaining that my pancakes were bad because I didn't have a non stick frying pan but I couldn't afford to buy one. 2 weeks later I got one from my daughter lol. Her boys had told her I needed a new frying pan. Last Christmas I'd told my daughter not to buy me anything as I knew she didn't have much money to buy gifts because of being on maternity leave. Imagine my surprise when she gave me a an electric heating blanket because she knew I couldn't afford to have the heating on.
Dogs should never drive, their head would be outside the whole time.
I'm 19 and feel this is it. Like I'm just going to graduate get a job maybe get married and kids. Like Meh.... Nothing interesting
I miss this too! Best part was there were barely any selfie duck faces too.

I was asking myself the same questions. There were a few mom / parent memes. The rest was mostly just memes about being an adult.
