crying

We've covered the incredible joys of parenting a lot here at Memebase, but as long as the critters as being born we're going to have plenty of content for exhausted parents to relate to. These toddler temper tantrums were probably brutal to experience, but it's important to look back and laugh at our collective misfortune. 

Brace yourselves: some SERIOUS cringe is coming!

Some people watch sad movies when they need to have a good cry. Other people turn to depressing memes. These sad pictures and dark memes are for the latter group. We're here for you.

Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sad and sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS. Most of these tearjerker images are comics about losing someone special, usually a dog. For some reason the concept of losing an animal is really all it takes to bring on our high-pressure waterworks. So make sure you're sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.

If you're already a parent then you'll know very well that it's just a fact of life that kids will have total meltdowns over the dumbest crap. They're just kids after all - their brains aren't developed enough to fully articulate what it is they want, or to understand why certain things are the way they are. Just remember that if you're someone who's thinking about having kids, you'll have to deal with this on the reg!

If you're on the fence about having kids, you might want to take a peak at these Snapchat pics, which we think serve as the best form of birth control around. They say parenting is tough, but no one is truly prepared for the multitude of totally pointless meltdowns that will inevitably ensue.
