There are way too many new parents out there that think that the toddler years are the worst it gets when it comes to parenting. The issue with toddlers is that they have really big feelings and very little by way of emotional regulation. They're also going through the first years of the whole, insane human experience thing, so no one can blame them for freaking out sometimes. New parents think that as soon as their kids learn to articulate what they want and need, it will solve a ton of problems. However, parents don't realise that the expanded vocabulary and emotional intelligence gained as their children grow older usually comes with a massive serving of sass that only gets wittier and more pointed with each year. Similarly, newer parents might expect to spend less on their children as they grow up; parents of adults know that requests for monetary handouts don't cease even after college. If you're a mom or dad strapped in for the lifelong parenting journey, scroll down for a whole lot of memes just for you.

    sarah @sarahradz B I want Al to anticipate what groceries I'm running low on, search every flier and website in my city to find the best price, and compile me a weekly list based on best deals per fewest stops. I do not want Al to make a picture of me if I were an astronaut.

  • I wish I were a toddler again so it would be socially acceptable for me to walk around with my giant Ikea shark.

    therealjohannariehm ❤ Being a mom isn't hard. You just need to wake up at the crack of dawn after getting 5 hours of heavily interrupted sleep and then do things nonstop for others until you go back to sleep.

    Toddler: "Blah gah moo?" Everyone: Confused silence. Mom (from the other room): "He wants apple juice."

  • Learning to decipher your kid's early attempts at speaking are peak motherhood. Makes you feel like a linguist or polyglot.

    mom mom mom mom mom @notmythirdrodeo I like to feed my kid balanced meals from the 4 toddler food groups. 1. Things he ate yesterday that he refused today. 2. Things he doesn't want but I'm hoping to get him to eat anyway. 3. Things he thinks he wants but will spit out after one bite. 4. Goldfish crackers.

    ADAKING Momming Glory Glory @momming_glory One of the most confusing things about parenting toddlers is not realizing when an agreement becomes an argument or vice versa. Like, I thought you wanted Cheerios and I agreed to give you Cheerios and now we're arguing about why I gave you Cheerios? What?
