25 Parenting Memes That Prove Girls Aren’t Always Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice

If you grew up on The PowerPuff Girls, you'll remember that girls are supposed to be made up of sugar, spice, and everything nice. But any parent of daughters knows that the recipe isn't quite that simple. Alongside all of that sugary sweetness, you will find sass, chaos, wit sharp enough to rival that of any adult, and the occasional tantrumover the "wrong" color cup. The journey of raising girls can certainly be filled with heart-meltingly sweet moments, but there are also plenty of unpredictable and exasperating moments as well.

Some people will tell you that raising boys is the real challenge because they're rowdy, rambunctious, and endlessly destructive, while parents of girls supposedly have it "easy." But talk to anyone actually raising a daughter, and they'll set the record straight. From the incredibly sharp comebacks, to the emotional rollercoasters, parenting girls is no small feat. Plus, many create just as much messy chaos as boys do; they're not afraid to get dirty, climb all over the house, or leave a trail of toys in their wake. Daughters definitely keep parents on their toes just as much as any boy would, and these memes prove it.
