35 Funny Memes That Show Just How Chaotic Parenting Is, Courtesy Of This Popular Facebook Page

Imagine being five minutes from the end of the longest movie ever and it starts over because it forgot something. That's my kid telling a story.

Then you get to the teen years and getting them to talk is hard.

Who took this picture of me and my six year old at 4 am this morning???

"Can I be your trusty steed?"

Well said.

Ditto with cat food

Yes! This is my son, every single time.

100%!

Cats are like that, too.

Feathered mini dino is a monkey in disguise, too

Antigravity hair 🤔

I had a son first and he is so chilled and easy going we were worried that if the second one wasn't like him we wouldn't know what to do. Yeap, she did not disappoint.

Ha ha ha, yes, my friend who we only see irregularly also said that her boys (twins) are so wild and we would probably have it much easier with a daughter. Then she came to visit and my daughter downgraded the boys from wild to sometimes a bit wild. (Same age. She is usually super sweet. Just full of energy and ideas). We never heard anything similar from my friend again. (Perspective for the win.)

This is actually pretty cute.

"No" (I haven't)

Toddler hasn’t seen the sharpie because they became one with the sharpie (they ate it and are about to turn into a refrigerator)

Once I did this with my sister (her skin is lighter) and I got reprehended by our mother.

My sister in law used to let her girls color in her black and white tattoos she said it was soothing

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so true

Our bodies just weren't as yummy as M&Ms 🤷🏻‍♀️

Don't ever ask "Daddy or Chips?" (EN UK, EN US = French fries)

Until they start doing it back!

I have mastered that stare. It still works with my teens. First, they will pretend they don't notice. Then, they will laugh. Then, I will also laugh and say: what are you laughing at, I was saying *repeat stare*. And they will laugh some more but will go OK, OK and will mostly actually do/stop the thing was giving them The Mom Stare about. With us, it works because there is humour involved.

I'm always surprised when people expect their kids to be friends. And even more so when they are are confused and disappointed about their kids not liking one another. I get that people want a unicorn situation but to EXPECT it is something else. Like, do you not remember being a child yourself? Do you not remember the sibling relationships you and/or your friends had? Siblings are the coworkers of childhood; you get who you get and it's an absolute gamble as to whether you'll get along or not. I think some parents assume their children will love one another the way they love their children and others think it's the kids' job to entertain each other and they're "being bad" if they do not. Nope. You have two unique individuals, sure they have to interact, but don't have more than one child expecting them to be friends; just know you're very lucky if they are.

There are 13 of us and it's kind of a split family to be honest. The 2 oldest were really close (one passed away) then it's the next five who grew up differently and are really close, next is the youngest 6. I think between the age gap and that there was the last 6 still at home when Dad was killed that it made us bond together super tight. All of the older kids were out of the house and had their own families, as well as some in the military. The oldest of us 6 turned 18 on May 19, Dad was killed on May 21, he was buried on May 23 and I turned 7 on May 24. Between how my Dad was in his later years of his life and the trauma from losing him, especially the way that he died, made us lean on each other a lot growing up.

They will go back to playing together in a few minutes

Yeah for a while, worry after that! Specially when they suddenly get silent... :D

Me reading this at 3am.

I always think, okay now I'm gonna watch my show, as I climb immediately into bed and fall asleep

🙋🏼‍♀️

Yup last night. Kept waking up every hour.

How can such small people create so much mess, and be okay with it?

Dust is everywhere!

Well, there's 2 sides to every coin.

That's my life now.

I was the kid in that story. Grew to to buy mom a bunch of gold jewellery... Cultural jewellery as she sold hers as a young woman for the family even before my disabled a*s came out... So sometimes that silent grind and hard work might be rewarded.

yeah, and being the special needs kid your parent constantly complains about is pretty bad too.

He!! Yes. I feel this in my soul.

This is so true, no one really knows how much of a struggle every single day is for me 🙄
