toddlers

Parenting is exhausting when things are totally normal. The whining, the tears, the screaming, the tantrums. Parenting during a pandemic when you can't even send your minions to school for a break? Let's be real: it's the pits. These memes might help you laugh at the ordeal. We're in this together. 

These memes are for the tired. The haggard. The hungry, and the overworked. The parents who might smell like spit-up, and the parents who wake up with goldfish crumbs in weird crevices. These memes are for anyone who's had to say no to a cranky kid, and for anyone raising a picky eater. We salute you, and hope these memes make you feel seen.

They say that toddlers are like teenagers with less life experience and smaller bodies. Teenagers get a bad rap for being brats but toddlers honestly might be worse - at least teens (usually) don't have screaming fits in the middle of busy restaurants. 

Let these Snapchat pics serve as the best birth control around!

Most people on TV make parenting look easy, but these memes reveal the truth behind raising your little bundles of joy. Temper tantrums, exhaustion, and repeating yourself over. And over. And over. And over again. Here's to you, parents. We don't know how you do it. 

As children's shows characters go, Caillou was always an easy one to make fun of. The bald Canadian named Caillou was pretty much asking for it. This weekend, the internet was presented with a reason to think twice before mocking the cartoon lad. Twitter user @NatalieZiesmer was going down a google hole when she discovered that the veritable toddler is allegedy 5'11". That's taller than most of the dudes on Tinder. News of Caillou's hulking height quickly went viral, despite it becoming very clear that this info is definitely from a user-edited wiki. Unfortunately, that knowledge won't be able to expel the towering toddler from our nightmares.

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!

Parenting is hard. Like, really hard. We totally get that all you parents need a GD break from your screaming offspring every once in a while. Good thing The Nerd Dad has your back - it's an Instagram account that pretty cleverly conveys the hilarious struggles of trying to be a decent dad and partner!

Parenting is a hard job. Like, really it's no joke, and we salute you for that. We all need to get away sometimes, and these memes will really resonate with those who really just need a break from their kids right now. Don't worry - we get it.
