30 Tyrannical Toddler Memes for Parents Barely Surviving Their Kiddo's 'Terrible Twos'

Toddlers give us a mixed bag of emotions. Although we love their pudgy cheeks and childlike wonder, there are moments in every parent's life where they question their sanity, resilience, and patience threshold with their tyrannical two-year-old. Gone are the days of the sweet infantile baby smell, where your precious bundle of joy nestles deep in the crack of your neck. Instead, these days, you're wondering how a tiny human could run so quickly in the Target parking lot, immediately neglecting the 'red light, green light' game you read about in all those parenting books.

How are toddlers so fast when their legs are so short?

The toddler phase tests every parent and puts adults through daily trials of highs and lows that will eventually cultivate a thriving, polite, and intelligent child, but until then, we're all just holding on for dear life as our tiny human stomps around the house climbing every bookshelf in sight, terrorizing the dog, and raising H-E-Doublehockeysticks so they can watch Cocomelon for the 14-quadrillionth time. Hold on tight, fellow parents, although your toddler tests your limits, keep in mind those beautiful moments where you can watch them learn to speak, learn to get dressed all by themselves, and learn to tug your heartstrings just a little harder.
