You’re Not Alone, These Parents Are Also Going Through It This Week
To all the parents out there who are absolutely burnt out and still trudging on, we totally see you.
The parent who is rocking someone else's breakfast on their shirt and only one contact lens. Keep up the good work, you're not alone in this!
Happy Birthday To Everyone Except 4-Year-Olds!
Some parents are so busy running around and getting things organized that birthday decorations are often a last-minute affair.
This parent seems to have terrible luck because the only number they needed was also the only one out of stock.
To Infitness, And Beyond!
Unfortunately, Planet Fitness exists in our very own solar system and it's not nearly as cool as it sounds.
It's really just another one of planet Earth's seemingly endless fitness franchises.
The Best Time For Burning Questions Is Bedtime
It's hard to say how the mind of a child works, but we can say for certain that their imaginations and will to learn are always most active at bedtime.
When the other option is sleep, suddenly it's absolutely pressing to have their obscure questions answered.
"My Son Put His Toy Golf Ball In The Bathtub Drain"
Kids' toys seem to come in all different shapes and sizes, yet somehow end up getting perfectly stuck in the weirdest places around your home.
It looks like it's time for this parent to get the good old toilet plunger out.
It's Right Where They Left It
The caption on this photo explained: "I tore the house apart for over an hour, had enough and went to make my son breakfast."
There's nothing like an exhausting and unrewarding hunt to start off the day.
Kids Are Contagious
Taking care of your kids when they are sick is one thing, but when you're also sick and the only caretaker, it can feel like a never-ending nightmare.
Gross reality hits like a freight train when a flu bug gets comfy in the house.
The Cone Never Stood A Chance
It never occurred to this parent when they offered their child some ice cream that the kid might bite in horizontally, cone first.
We need to see how this child eats a taco.
Well, Duh, Mom
Cleaning up the living room is equal parts bargaining and being the boss.
Toys that have been tossed aside for months may hold a royal status you know nothing about until you try to subtly put it in the toy box.
"They're All This Size"
The Frozen movie craze may have died down, but it will never be gone—we just can't Let It Go!
Unfortunately, this parent had to learn the hard way that the Frozen popsicles, while frozen, are hardly popsicles and more like flavored ice cubes.
This Mom Has A Long Future Of Jump Scares Ahead Of Her
When a child is quiet, you can almost always be certain that they are up to no good.
This toddler saw their opportunity to startle Mom and they totally went for it.
She'll Do It, But She Won’t Be Happy About It
This caption explains, "I left a list of chores for my teen daughter to do. I came home to stuff like this."
If passive aggression was a person, it would look and act like this anti-chore teenager.
Good Luck With This One, Mom

As a parent, there are some questions you may never be ready to answer accurately.
No matter how much this mom prepared, she would not have seen this weird question coming before it happened.
Announcement In Aisle Five
Our kids continue to humble us at every single turn and they don't care if it's in the privacy of our own homes or the very public grocery store.
This little girl's confession may have encouraged her mom to buy one extra bottle.
The Kid's Not Wrong
Explaining your job to young kids can be tricky, so most parents simplify it a bit.
This man's 6-year-old child drew out their perspective of his career as an "Editor" and they kind of nailed it.
Thoughts And Prayers
To most children, every molehill is a mountain and every staircase is an important climb both up and down.
That makes it hard on parents who forget that the world's smallest thing feels like the world's biggest inconvenience to a toddler.
There's Never Really A Right Time For This One
This kid has been watching too many National Geographic shows and is starting to have some crazy questions about life and nature.
It's clear they do their best (and creepiest) thinking in the dead of night.
Toothpaste Lessons Necessary
If this is what a 10-year-old boy's toothpaste looks like, we don’t want to imagine what the inside of his bedroom is like.
This kid needs a crash course on using a tube of toothpaste.
The Kid Just Knows What They Like
The library is an awesome system, especially if kids use it to read books that they can't get anywhere else.
This 4-year-old needs a bit more time to fully grasp the concept of what a library is great for.
The Easiest Way To Annoy Dad
When dad lends out his tools, it's always a good idea to return them the way you found them.
This kid likely got a good earful of lecture after bringing back the socket kit like this.
Who Needs It?
Sometimes, you just have to convince yourself life is normal and great and you can survive it going on no sleep with someone else's food in your hair and crumbs in your nice car seats.
The financial part is a whole other thing—we won’t even go there.
