As this website says, parenting isn’t easy. Ask any parent about their “playbook” and they’ll just tell you something along the lines of “There isn’t one.”

Things you can anticipate will still surprise you and the schedules you have in place will almost always be broken.

Any sleeping time will become nap times and the clean-up after dinners will always take more time than you intended.

Here are some snapshots and posts that show the hilarious reality of parenting.

Yummy Toes

Babies will explore the world by touching and tasting.

Remember that they will always put in their mouth whatever they get their hands on – that includes their bottle, the toy on the floor, and their feet!

Nowhere to Hide

A meme went around showing a small baby hand reaching from under the bathroom door.

You thought you can get 5 minutes of quiet time? Think again! They know where you are. They will find you! And they will demand snacks!

The “Grip”

We’ve all been there and most probably, you’d do this to your kid. Our parents have this way of holding us to keep us in line while they maintain a happy face.

Congratulations, kid. You’re now a puppet, so stop acting out.

Why not multitask?

Any parent will feel proud when their children achieve their gross motor milestones like turning on their tummy, standing, or walking.

As a part of the celebration, why not hit two birds with one stone like giving your kid a “Roomba” costume and maybe letting them do some Roomba things?

That Awkward Moment

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, and it’s especially hilarious when you reprimanded your kid for doing the same thing you were scolded for when you were younger.

It’s one of the best “Wait a minute, now I get it,” moments.

They’re just everywhere

“Honey, where’s our daughter?”

“I don’t know, have you checked the drawers? She’s usually right beside the towels.”

Powering Through

There are just days – no, a lot of parenting days require almost infinite amounts of energy and patience.

But more than wine or alcohol, the best pick-me-upper is 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Take Your Kid to Game Day

A lot of parents lose time for their hobbies once a child comes into their lives. Take a look at this gamer dad, for example. If there’s a will, there’s a way.

Just a bit of a shut-eye

If you’re a parent, anything can be a bed if you’re tired enough. Ever had a moment where you just passed out where you were sitting? It’ll pass.

The best baby is a sleepy baby

Why are nap times so important?

Because it’s the only time that parents get to take a breather and take some well-needed snooze themselves.

If you’re a parent or are about to become one, you know that your life will and has changed.

However, through these challenges, you’ll also get to see your capability to provide and to love.

Actually, you’ll just want to wish they grow up sooner so you can finally take a break.
