If You Think Parenting Is Challenging, You’re Not Alone, And Here Are 30 Funny Memes From ‘Satirical Mommy’ To Prove It
Parenting’s hardly ever easy, and it can sometimes feel like it’s just you against the world. Constant exhaustion, glowing pride in your munchkin, juggling a dozen chores at once, wholesome bedtime stories, five-minute naps because you just can’t anymore, and a rushing realization that life is far more weird and wonderful than you could have ever thought—that’s just the tip of the iceberg of being a mom.
The ‘Satirical Mommy’ social media project is perfect for helping you realize that you’re really not alone when it comes to the ups, downs, and loopdeloops of being a mom or dad. Raising kids is hard, and knowing that someone’s going through the same things can be uplifting. We’ve collected some of the best memes, shared by ‘Satirical Mommy,’ to bring a bit of humor and happiness into your lives, Pandas.
Upvote your fave memes as you scroll down, and if you’re feeling up to it, share your own experience with raising your kids in the comments. How do you manage to get everything done on time?

Meanwhile, Bored Panda reached out to single mom Ariane Sherine, who has an 11-year-old daughter, to hear her thoughts about the biggest challenges and upsides of being a parent, how to deal with exhaustion, and how to juggle everything, all at once. Ariane is the editor at 'These Three Rooms,' has written a whole bunch of insightful and funny books, and also writes music. She told us that becoming a mom has been "the best thing" that she's ever done in her life and that parenting is "very hard work—but it's so worth it. Trust me on that."

SO MANY TIMES...part of my daily vocabulary includes but are not limited to, "No, put that down, you are going to get hurt!", "get off that ledge you are going to break your neck", "we DO NOT RUN AROUND WITH SHARP OBJECTS!!!" ,"put your brother down!", "get off your brother" and just plainly, " No WHY would you do that!?" mostly followed by a loud bellow from outside or inside the house somewhere, followed by my utter disappointment in my faith that it would go any way other that sour.
When I was a wain I took this to the next level while on holiday. Sat on the couch screeching, "I'm not tired!" Parents shrugged and left me there. I fell asleep sitting on the couch and faceplanted into the glass coffee table. The coffee table won and I discovered what my skull looked like.
I gave up on this, just let them do whatever to whenever and they eventually fall asleep. Then when they are cranky at 6am in the morning when I say time to get up for school, then I say, oh yeah, a certain someone didn't want to go to sleep on time last night. Only have to do that 1-2 times they get the message.
My mother says when I was little I didn't throw big screaming tantrums. She said I whined a lot instead and it was way more irritating. :p
True story when me and my wife had our first child we was like I can't wait tell tell he's old enough to take care of his self so we can start going out again now he 18 and we are in bed for 9pm and I'm up at 4:30am on bp the party life
This post (as well as the comments) is confusing the hell out of me. I have no idea what’s going on!
Ughhh fineuhhh I'll do it myself. Just like everything around this house!
But thats the way to go at least the first couple of weeks. Giving birth was the most exhausting thing I have done so far.
And.......they stay that way, off and on, for the next twenty plus years.
Not to be confused with 'make sure they dress for the weather.' Sure you can wear the superhero costume, but [winter] you'll still need to wear a coat.
Yes. Especially if you plan something bigger (and expensive) like a trip or vacation. It's doomed to be filled with a lot of "I don't want to do this....." EVEN if you asked before you booked that heavily overpriced entree ticket. Lots of fun/s. They usually remember it as something fun later on though... but to be fair you could just as easily do something at home and they would have great memories from that too. Adults see grand gestures and "perfect planning" while for kids it's all in the small stuff (like that you, as a parent, had fun with them - they remember that the most).
yep coco melon has covered my parent's "chaos family" insurance.
My husband had a habit of announcing when he was doing the chores. So I started doing the same thing. Waaaay more often. He's stopped announcing stuff now, and helps a lot more.
Yup. First time I had a soccer mom ask me for a play date with my kid was after her kid slammed their car door into my car. I had an old used car so it wasn't the end of the world but thought it was weird she never said sorry. Apparently, the play date was going to be at my house, even though she was a stay at home mom and I worked full time. Her kid came over, was super hyper, broke a couple of things, but genuinely was a good kid. She decided another play date was in order, again, at my house. I politely declined. She never did offer to have me or my kid over to her house.
My kids never eat very much of their candy and don't want to 🤷🏻 we just throw it out after 6 months unless we want some
yeah we know that one. "What do you want for v-day?" "nothing" .... immediately goes and buys soaps, flowers, chocolates, special wine, etc.
