Try not to cry at these painfully relatable memes for parents
Being a parent in 2021 is no easy task. Between natural disasters amid the climate crisis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s hard to survive on your own, let alone care for a little one. So much goes into modern parenting, and if there’s anything parents need to make it through another day of running around with their kids, it’s a little damn levity.
Parenting is serious business, and sometimes the job feels like a crushing weight we can’t pull off on our own. Lucky for parents, there’s plenty of people in the same situation to help you give pointers, but most importantly, relate. We’ve gathered the dankest memes for parents on the web to help you laugh, cry, and realize you’re not alone in one of the world’s hardest unpaid gigs.
