Because parenting memes are a required resource for being a parent. For real, though. Sometimes when you experience crazy you need humor. And if you are a parent, you know the crazy that I am talking about.
Let’s take a break from the wild west of parenting. Take a few minutes to stop picking up the floor that is littered with random objects. That laundry basket has been sitting there for a week. If the dishing aren’t done, fret not – use paper plate.
Funny Parenting Memes Only Parents Can Relate To
Exhale, relax and take 5 minutes to laugh at these funny parenting memes. If you know someone who is in the thick of it (hello baby memes and toddler memes) – we have funny memes for all stages of being a parent.
I thought we could start this party off with something we all could relate to. This funny parenting meme is a great conversation starter. Post on Facebook and watch the comments roll in with silly memes and parenting photos that might act as good birth control if people only knew the truth about parenting.
Parenting is Hard Memes
No one said it was easy, but boy some people sure make having kids LOOK easy. Those people are what i call LIARS and these parenting is hard memes are revealing parenting truths that all moms and dads can relate to.
You gotta love it when you’ve spent the weekend washing loads of laundry. Just as you are carrying the last load of folded clothes up the stairs, miraculously a fresh bin of dirty laundry is found. OMG, this is a weekly occurrence. If you can relate to laundry hell – see our laundry memes.
If you are a parent to a child AND dog – you might know this game. Hell, even if you have a toddler – we played it when potty training. The game is called is that chocolate or is it poop. It is a game where there is a high probability that you can lose and end up picking up a turd when you thought maybe it was just chocolate.
Bad Parenting Memes
Listen, I am not here to say you are a bad parent. Nor are these really bad parenting memes saying that if you do this you are awful. Because truth it I’ve done these and good news – thankfully my kids have survived me and I have survived them!
Am I the parent I dreamed I would be? No. I blame that totally on my kids. I didn’t expect them to not sleep, eat everything in the pantry yet nothing that I make for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I didn’t expect the house to be THIS dirty. I won’t even bring up the laundry discussion again.
Anyone have kids that are always on time? HA! Good, you are my people. I didn’t think so but thought I would double check just in case.
How about using writing crazy school excuse notes that sound insane but are actually honest. How about your kid not being able to find their shoes before school? Anyone ever send their kid to school with 2 different shoes on?
Who else is a yeller? I have changed how I look at yelling at my kids. It’s not necessarily yelling. It’s more than I use my motivational speaking voice when certain subjects arise or events occur. It’s all how you look at it. Change your perspective.
Let’s talk about the hell clothing item known as socks. These things disappear and the kids are always asking for new socks though I know we have 230942934 pairs in random places throughout the house. So next time they ask, since it is the holiday season – just tell them to add it to their Christmas list. Speaking of – clean Christmas memes anyone?
Parenting Newborns
6 pounds 1 ounce. That is how much my first baby weight. She came home and she was 5 pounds 8 ounces. So little and OMG I was the one responsible for making sure she is kept alive. Parenting newborns memes are for those of us who had that gasp moment when realizing the responsibility that parenting is after the baby was born.
Tired Parents Memes
Another thing I had no idea about is that while the baby eventually does sleep thru the night, there is a great chance that you won’t. Tired parents memes are memes about parents who just need sleep.
And the co-sleeping thing. OMG, our third kid would not leave our bed. If we let him, he still would sleep smack in the middle of my husband and myself kicking all night long. If you long for sleep – these sleeping memes are for you.
My husband has always worked and while yes, he deserves him sleep but omg how does he sleep so well thru a crying baby. So many nights while on maternity leave, I wanted to just go back to work so that we could take turns. It finally happened, but man even with tweens and teens – my husband can sleep hard. It’s so unfair!
The bedtime struggle is real. Especially with toddlers. Get yourself a toddler alarm clock or kids alarm clock if the kids are older.
Isn’t it amazing how kids are ALWAYS hungry when it’s time to go to bed?
Parenting Fail Memes
There are times in your parenting journey that while you try your best, you just can’t win them all. These parenting fail memes are dedicated to those time. Like clipping your baby’s nails for the first time.
Who else was perplexed when your sweet child was born with these vicious nails. Then to learn from the nurse that they can’t clip the baby’s nails. My foggy brain from that time period swears the nurse mentioned that clipping nails is the equivalent to removing body parts and they can’t do that.
All that said, my parenting fail began early trying to accomplish this feat. By the 4th kid, I ended up doing something disgusting. I chewed my baby’s nails off because believe me when I say nobody wants to knick a precious sweet newborn baby with nail clippers!

Co Parenting Meme
My husband and I co-parent but thankfully we are still married and living in the same house. I can’t imagine being a single mom and doing this parenting thing by myself. Kudos to all the single parents as well as the co-parents and bonus parents (step parents) that are doing the hard work to raise good kids!
