It's that time of year when the kids are back in school and all is right in the world again. Psych! With school comes homework, after school activity schedules, chaperoning, and the dreaded school pickup. Ok, it's not all that bad and seeing the look on your kiddos face after a day away at school is actually really rewarding, but that doesn't mean it's not all exhausting. 

No one told me that being an adult was so hard. Parenting is literally trial and error. When I think I've mastered one technique, another problem pops up. Getting your kids acclimated back to school this time of year is a win. Seeing your kid smile after school because they made a new friend is a win. And, not getting a call from the Principal's office is definitely a win. 

We've compiled 30 epic adulting memes that'll make you laugh as just how ridiculous parenting can be sometimes.

    Kristen | Driving Mom Crazy @DrivingMomBlog I don't know what stage of parenting it's called when your kid corrects everything you say all day long, including informing. you it's 9:01 instead of 9:00, but I'm not into it.
