You deserve to have a big smile across your face too, not just your kids. if you laugh, they'll learn how to laugh too. So everybody wins. What's the best party starter when it comes to laughter?

We're a big ‘ole family of memes over here and we love to make each other laugh. That especially includes mom and dad. They work too hard to make everyone else happy, now let the memes take over! LOL at your baby being a cutie patootie. Hoot and holler over your toddler throwing a tantrum over the silliest things. Howl with laughter after your kid finally decides to have a long talk with you at 10pm. Oh, also, did you get them water before bed? Because apparently they are now so dehydrated they can’t even sleep… So many things to wholesomely LOL at as a parent!

Let us reiterate, because parents don't hear this enough, we are proud of you. Sure, we might not even know you, but the fact that you have allowed yourself to enjoy some memes and have scrolled this far down to do so, says a lot. You're not a doomscroller, you're a hardworking parent and you're doing a great job!
