Depressing Memes About Bad Parents

We can confidently say that most families aren't like The Brady Bunch. This goes for both the parental units and their children. And while we know some kids have issues with authority, sometimes the responsibility for a crappy family dynamic or lack of support lies with the parent. There's a ton of proof at the r/insaneparents subreddit. The community shares tales of terrible parenting, as well as memes that combine personal narrative with relatable themes. Most of these use meme formats that are very familiar. Think Spongebob Memes and Drake memes. While they're pretty depressing, it's important to remember that if you're having a tough time with family, you're definitely not alone.
