It's 2025, mom and dad—we hope you had a great New Year's Eve! Did you pretend like it was midnight at the stroke of 8pm to celebrate with the kids and then put them straight to bed, have a babysitter sneak in, and then have yourself sneak out? That's impressive parenting there! Movie magic style. However, we imagine most parents did the sane thing, which is put the kids to bed, maybe shared a glass of champagne together at midnight, and then fell asleep immediately. Both are amazing tactics that all parents are privy to and we applaud both. 

 

It's a new year and that means a new sense if just trying your best. It's weird—parenting is a very strange mixture of being forced to live in the moment, but also being forced to take your future very seriously. Like, how do you find balance with that? That can't be easy! So the only thing you can do is try your best and love with all of your might. Your kids might not express how much they appreciate everything you do for them right now, but they will grow up one day and see just how much you've given them. I know I had that epiphany with my parents when I turned 30 and I have thanked them every day since. So here is a thank you to all the parents out there with silly 'ole memes below!

  • Parenting is hard every second of the year and we know it can feel even heavier during and after the holiday season. Going into the new year with all these expectations and thinking about the past year is very emotional. So take a breather, know that you are doing your best and we see you and applaud you, and let yourself LOL to some parenting memes that are very relatable to every parent. And if they aren't, you're lying.
