A Toy Box of Parenting Memes for Moms and Dads Constantly Cleaning Up After Chaotic Children

You've all probably heard of the myth of Sisyphus – the mythological Greek king cursed for all eternity to push a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down again once it reaches the top. Parenting can seem pretty Sisyphean at times. You change a crazy diaper blowout only to have to reach for the baby wipes again for another code brown in twenty minutes. You pick up all of the Legos from the living room only to find them dumped on the floor again in less than an hour. You remind your kid every day to brush their teeth before bed, and when you finally catch them doing it on their own without a reminder, you find yourself escorting them to the bathroom again the very next evening.

As parents, it seems like you're just repeating the same tasks over and over, expecting a different outcome. Some say this is insanity, but kids do learn eventually. If you're a mom or dad on the crazy journey of parenting, check out these hilariously relatable parenting memes curated just for you.

My mom used to tell me that the vacuum would inhale any toys that I didn't pick up from the floor and put away!
