It’s time for a meme roundup, my friends, and the hilarious genius on this list is all for my fellow parents. Laugh, cry, have a drink, scroll the list – I promise you’ll feel less alone and better ready to tackle the chaos when you’re done!

I’m pretty sure that parents created these 12 memes themselves, just for us – they’re just too perfect to be a coincidence!

12. Maybe they don’t understand “up.”

If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, I mean.

11. Midwestern parent alert.

Surely ketchup will be a suitable alternative?

10. Maybe the mom who puts things on the stairs to be taken up.

Sometimes they’re the same mom. Bless.

9. I was unaware of this rule.

But I think the closet is still on the table.

8. When you want to snicker.

But you’re pretty sure they’ll need therapy if you do.

7. Every single time.

Happy to angry in a single breath.

6. Don’t buy this load of crap.

Bigger kids, bigger problems.

5. That’s kind of their job.

Just ignore them and keep doing yours.

4. I think someone would call about that.

I’d be more worried about what they’re doing that you can’t see.

3. Truth in advertising.

You’re probably still going to buy one, though.

2. Convince them they like it long.

That’s a protip, fellow boy mamas.

1. Don’t try to reason with them.

They’re literally not capable.

See what I mean? We’re all in this together!
