Starting a family can be a wonderful thing for a lot of people - kids can bring you a type of love that you've never known before. However, parenting does inevitably come with its fair share of struggles that aren't widely publicized, and we think these memes and posts shine some light on that!

We've all been fooled by someone else's bullsh*t at one point or another - and we're kind of ashamed to say that some of us get fooled regularly as adults too. But even so, we can rest assured that we're not one of these Twitter users who believed some pretty outrageous things!
For many, parenting is the most rewarding job in the world, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with its fair share of struggles. Often times, you're kind of at the beck and call of your kid's weird moods and temper tantrums. Many of us just don't have the patience (or selflessness) for that, so our hats are off to you!
Seriously parents, they don't even know what's going on.
Toddlers really don't get enough credit for how terrible they are. They scream in public places, they're old enough to talk back to you, and they have meltdowns over the most mundane things. That age group is called the "terrible twos" for a reason after all, as any parent can attest to.
To any toddler-parent who's reading this, all we can say is, you got this. And if you don't got this, there's always adoption.
Our parents didn't grow up with texting or smartphones like we did, so understandably they may be a little lost sometimes when trying to navigate the world of technology. However, that doesn't mean we aren't going to laugh at their valiant efforts!
And of course, we have to remind you that Mother's Day is on May 12th this year!
We can bet that every single person reading this asked the "Mom-can-we-go-out-to-eat?" question during childhood just to hear her say "no, we have food at home." And course, as these memes suggest, usually the food at home is far less tasty than anything you could've gotten at the drive-thru (especially when your parents aren't the best cooks...).
But in the end, we're secretly thankful that our parents provided us with home-cooked meals as kids, even if those meals tended to be un-sauced spaghetti noodles and a slice of unseasoned ham on the side.
