Parenting is funny. Sometimes. Maybe? When it happens to other people? I put together this list of funny parenting memes on the internet that will make you laugh. All of these made me laugh and made me feel better about the shit show that is happening in my house. Maybe you’ll relate. I hope so.
No matter what stage of parenthood you’re in right now, I hope you can find a little bit of lightness here.
I originally wrote this post in January 2016. Amazingly, it is still one of the most popular posts on my blog, thankyouverymuch Pinterest and Google. I thought we needed a little levity right now, so I’m updating and republishing with a few of my new favorites.

Funny stuff to make parents laugh right now
I’m not trying to negate anything that’s happening in the world right now. We have work to do but in between the work, we need levity. Because our kids are driving us freaking crazy and it’s fun to laugh about it. Whether your parenting strife is due to having to listen to Minecraft stories or cleaning poop smears off of ev-ree-thing, let’s just lighten it up for a few minutes, huh?
And, if you snort coffee (or whatever you’re drinking) through your nose or pee yourself a little bit, well…take comfort in the fact that I’ve done both of those things this week.

1. Kids are so…literal
2. Every. Damn. Aisle.
3. I can see where this would be seen as less authoritative…
4. It’s all fun and games ’till someone goes to the ER…
5. Okay, not gonna lie. I mostly love this because she mentions “scheduling sex.”
6. Hey, baby…
Hey baby it’s Friday night, why don’t you get into something more comfortable that you can wear all weekend because we have no laundry left.

7. So, everyone jumped on the stick figure bandwagon in January. This was my favorite by far.
8. Okay, this didn’t make me LOL as much as it made me smile and tap my toes.
Super cute. Watch it. You’ll feel good. Unless you really HATE the song “Shake it Off” and don’t want to hear it play on a loop on in your brain forever and ever. Just kidding. Watch it anyway. Trust me.
9. All I have to say about this one is AMEN.
10. I gotta admit, my husband is the champion dishwasher loader over at our house but I think a lot of y’all will relate:

12. Thank YOU!
13. EGGS.
14. I mean…
15. Where all my loud mamas at?
PIN FOR LATER!
My well meaning husband announced he was going to do the dishes from now on…but he’d have to rearrange everythingin the kitchen so that it made sense to him.
He only made it through two days of “dishwashing duty” before he “got too busy” so I took it back over and put EVERYTHING back where it makes sense to the person who does all the cooking and cleaning.
When I was sick this week he went to do the dishes and totally flipped out about how the kitchen no longer made sense him. Because you know…the person who is in charge of doing the dishes but never does them should be the one that determines how the kitchen is arranged.
That dishwasher picture is exactly how I feel when he loads the dishwasher.
That’s so funny. I’m pretty domestic but I’m such a haphazard dishwasher loader. My husband stands over me and frowns when I’m loading and I usually just get pissed off and let him do it.
great idea for a feature! I’m the opposite on the dishwasher, I do it wrong! lol
The daddy/daughter dancing was so cute! And I can totally relate to the dishwasher shenanigans.
