The struggle is real, y'all. But sometimes it's worth it. 

We've been enjoying Twitter's parenting jokes for some time - and today we've added some "kidding" moments for a little balance. Parents say the darndest things!

The agony. The pure, unadulterated agony of coping with lack of freedom. The FOMO. We lament the dances we missed and the sleepovers we would only hear about when getting to school on Monday. If you feel us, these memes are for you.

Class trips can be a terrifying journey. 20+ kids, thrown into the wilds, begging to be wrangled and wreaking havoc. This clueless Dad learned this lesson the hard way after volunteering to chaperone his kid's field trip. While the journey sounds harrowing, it's a happy ending. All teachers deserve this much respect!

Let's turn those frowns upside down, people. 

This heartwarming comic from Zen Pencils follows the love of a father for his son, and his willingness to do anything to help his son follow his dreams. We're not crying, someone's definitely cutting onions over here. 

When he was unable to lock in the friend request of his crush on Facebook, this desperate dude found her father and tried to network his way into a date. It didn't go well. Despite being told NO through Dad's endless supply of memes, this illiterate and very thirsty dude never gives up hope. He gets angry... Very angry... But never gives up hope. How romantic!
