Sorry to rain on your parade (though at this time of year the weather might be doing that anyway), but tomorrow is the beginning of another week and there are more than a few of us that are not quite ready to face the reality of yet another week of school runs, play dates, endless screaming and unfathomable chaos. The kind that you have learnt to no longer fear, for its unpredictability and ferocity.

So to soften the blow for all of us we have collected a complication of hysterical satirical and sassy parenting memes to help give us all some perspective over the coming week and of course a hearty chuckle. From toddlers throwing shade on their parent's Halloween costume ideas, to the poor hallows eve souls that are still at the pumpkin patch waiting for their kid to pick out an extortionately pierced pumpkin, to the parents who, no matter what they do, cannot explain the concept of listening to their children. We all feel you and are with you in this struggle. So enjoy what is left of the weekend and brace yourself as e go around the weekly merry-go-round once more.
