Being a parent is not really a role that anyone can truly prepare for. Sure, you can read as many books as you like, observe as many other parents as you wish, and follow all of the meme accounts on Instagram (and there are many), but no two children require the same kind of parent, and no parent can commit to a technique for 18 years. Eventually, you will have to show your true colors, and raise your children in a way that actually fulfills you and feels natural. That may mean you're not going to be the mom at every PTO meeting taking notes, or the dad that leaves catchy notes in his kids' lunches, but that's a-okay in our book.
Whether you like to be a little helicopter, or a little more hands-off, we're sure you'll get a kick out of these parenting memes that blessed our feeds this week.
