Struggling Through Saturday: Amusing Memes From Parents Who Could Do With Some Help

First off all let us say congratulations, you have made it this far and like a way point on an ultra marathon, we are here and ready to provide you with sustenance to continue onwards on your gruelling quest to get the kids in bed on time, so you can have an hour to yourself before passing out on the couch at 9pm. Now unlike a way point, we do not have any food or drink on offer (yeah, that would have been a good idea), but what we do have is a collection of cackle inducing, dopamine releasing memes from the parents who, just like you, could really do with some sleep.

So prop your eyes open as best you can, find a quiet spot where you are less likely to be interrupted (behind the bins or in a cabinet will do), and take a moment to boost serotonin levels with these hilarious parenting memes. We wish you the best of luck with your onwards mission, may it bear great and healthy fruit.
