crying

Witnessing your kids get married is one of the proudest moments for any parent. But there's something about dads seeing their little girls in a wedding dress that sets them off, making the tears flow and the moment super emotional. Look through these pictures of dads losing it when they see their daughters on their wedding day, but make sure you have some tissues next to you because you might shed a few tears too.

If you're on the fence about having kids, you might want to take a peak at these Snapchat pics, which we think serve as the best form of birth control around. They say parenting is tough, but no one is truly prepared for the multitude of totally pointless meltdowns that will inevitably ensue.

Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sad and sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS. Most of these tearjerker images are comics about losing someone special, usually a dog. For some reason the concept of losing an animal is really all it takes to bring on our high-pressure waterworks. So make sure you're sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.

After a mother posted a video of her 4-year-old daughter calling herself "ugly", it went viral and broke the hearts of everyone who saw it. Hundreds sent in messages of support, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, reassuring little Ariyonna that she is in fact, beautiful. Check some of the beautiful responses she received, including art-work, songs, and messages which will restore your faith in humanity. At the end of the list, is the video Ariyonna's mom made in response to the outpouring of love, where she is smiling and saying, "I'm black and beautiful. Thank you, everyone".

Kids don't understand the world. To be fair, neither do most adults, but at least we are able to control our emotional responses when things upset us (which again, to be fair, even some adults struggle to do). But however nice it be to be able to have a full-blown tantrum every time we have a bad day or someone pisses us off, unfortunately, that's only a privilege that kids get. We have to put on a smile on our face and just get on with it. 

A Facebook page called Reasons My Son Is Crying is a collection of the brilliantly funny and illogical reasons why kids have had tantrums, as captured and submitted by their parents. Here is a selection of some of the funniest reasons for their meltdowns and even though we feel sorry for these little ones, they've certainly given us five minutes of chuckles. 

There are no limits to what warrants a hysterical breakdown from a toddler. Rationality in the mind of a toddler is a terribly fleeting thing. We can't verify whether these captions are accurate depictions of what brought on the waterworks, but we'd bet they're not too far off the mark. 

Unless you're some sort of psycho, seeing a baby board an airplane (or any sort of public transit for that matter) evokes a sinking feeling in most of us. It's kind of crapshoot how it'll behave, after all. Babies are certainly cute, but hearing them scream and cry for several hours straight is pretty much the worst experience ever. How inconsiderate of them.

It may only be the beginning of December, but Spotify decided to release their annual "Wrapped" feature yesterday. The "year in review" offers users some insight regarding their listening habits - favorite artists, favorite songs, etc. This year, the streaming company went the extra mile to give us data for every year since their inception. While it's a fun and enlightening tool, our social media feeds have since been clogged with people sharing their results. Who's gonna tell 'em that people don't want to see that on their timeline? To combat the boring and banal Wrapped posts, resourceful content creators and Twitter users have been hard at work meme-ing the phenomenon and throwing shade on Twitter. The shade is way more entertaining than the Wrapped data. See for yourself.

It's a sad day when you hear about people still breeding animals in an effort to sell them for a profit. It's an even sadder day when those say animals aren't what they hoped for, so they abandon them. And that is exactly what had happened to sweet Beaux, the Labrador...

We've covered the incredible joys of parenting a lot here at Memebase, but as long as the critters as being born we're going to have plenty of content for exhausted parents to relate to. These toddler temper tantrums were probably brutal to experience, but it's important to look back and laugh at our collective misfortune.
