Dad always knows best– right? In a household with a brand new BBQ, a fully stocked beer fridge, and football playing on the TV every Sunday, everyone knows that when dad is home, dad rules the roost… At least until they get mocked for their supreme dadliness. A strict daddy-o may not realize that, as far as parenting is concerned, they've become a bit of a meme themselves– at least to their children. Parents who smother their kids with rules, strict curfews, and a dress-code at home don't realize that their teenaged daughters are walking right out the front door and into a mini skirt they asked their friends to bring them. They might not laugh in your face directly, but they quip at your quirks whenever they get the chance.

You can try your hardest to keep them from doing dangerous things, but you raise a smart young kiddo and at some point it become time to let go. Strict dads must always trust in the years of boot camp training that they put their kids through. Forcing them to help mow the lawn, take out the trash, and tag along with you when you shopped at Costco for grilling meats has taught your kids to be good, patient people and that's all any parent can try to do.

So even if you're a dad who's become a dad joke themselves, just know that your kids love you anyways, despite the jokes and the pokes taken when you fall asleep in your leather chair. The jests are just your family's way of telling you they love you, even if you won't let them go to a party on Friday night. Some day, they'll have their own kids and totally get it. Until then, scroll a daddish selection of relatable parenting memes that'll speak to your fatherly soul. Perhaps this will help you keep your eyes open while you listen to infomercials on the family TV at 7pm…
