  • Whoa, whoa, whoa, mom and dad! When is the last time you gave yourself a break? You have been going and going for way too long without stopping. Did you even remember to drink water today? You have to come up for are, don't you? At least let yourself LOL! If you can't remember to stop and laugh, then how can you expect your kids to know how to do just that? It's not an easy thing to just know how to do in our society, you should teach them young before they grow up in a memeless life!

  • Some of my fondest memories as a child are remembering how much fun my parents had with my brother and me, but also how much fun they had with each other. They made each other laugh all the time, and even though I had no idea what they were laughing at, I would still get a big smile on my face. Because as a kid, you just want to be part of a loving family, and seeing your folks laugh together assures you that you are in a loving home. So don't feel bad for looking at memes while you're with your kid. You might just actually be teaching them a great life lesson: to always remember to laugh, even during the chaos! And don't worry, you won't be teaching them doom scrolling because you are on our listicle, not the never ending For You page!

  • So how about it, mom and dad? You don't want your kids to remember you as always serious and stern. There is a time and place in parenting to be serious and stern, but it shouldn't be all of the time. Some of the time should be reserved for LOLing and these relatable and hilarious parenting memes can help you with just that! Seeing your kid smile is the best feeling, and hearing them laugh, wow! Nothing like it. Did you ever stop to think that maybe they think the same thing about you? They were born already loving you! It's time to show them how to laugh.
