Have kids, they said. It will be a blast, they assured us… 

If you know anything about parenting, you're well aware that it's essentially an endless amusement park ride with only two hours of sleep, no personal space, and persistent little troublemakers battling for your attention. Yet, amidst all the chaos and tantrums, you realize that there is nothing more magical than being a parent. 

Sure, we haven't slept for 8 hours in years and our house always looks like a tornado just passed through, but who really cares about all that when we get to witness our children evolve into the remarkable beings that we always knew they could be? You have to admit that as a parent, there is nothing more heartwarming than seeing your kid actually apply all the skills, manners, and knowledge you have taught them over the years. 

The parenting journey is undoubtedly long and demanding, but in the grand scheme of things, it's all worthwhile. With that in mind, we hope you enjoy this batch of the wittiest parenting memes we've seen this week.
