Welcome back parents of the universe. Being a parent is a full-time, fulfilling, but arduous responsibility. From pregnancy to birth is just the beginning, but it doesn't feel like it. Long hours in a hospital bed, strange faces of doctors and nurses passing by you, asking you questions you don't know how to answer. It's enough in and of itself, but the rest has yet to come. Once you have the baby, all the real parenting starts. The diapers, the crying, the hunger, it's enough to drive a woman down a road of vices, but you resist them. 

To take the edge off and relax, memes can bring not only joy and entertainment, but a sense of relief to your dire situation. You're not alone, and misery loves company. There's a comedic side to these things, and if you can laugh about it, you might as well. So while your husband has the baby for the day, or when the baby's fast asleep after a good cry, scroll through these hilarious parenting memes.

    Marcy G @BunAndLeggings When I was 4 my dad got pulled over and I screamed "I have to poop!!!" and the cop let my dad go. When he took me to the bathroom my dad couldn't stop laughing after I told him I didn't have to poop, just didn't want him to get a ticket. Sure hope my kids return the favor ifunny.co
