21 Raising Baby Memes That Sum Up All That Is Good & Gross About Parenting
Being a mom can be equal parts funny and frustrating. For every cuddle and kiss, there is sure to be a mess to follow. But you can take comfort in the fact that you are not alone. The Twitterverse is full of parents who are laughing, crying, and just plain shaking their heads at their daily adventures in parenting. And fortunately, they found time to share their raising baby memes with all of us, because after all, we are in this parenting thing together.
If you've ever wondered why you can never have a clean house, get anywhere on time, or pee in peace anymore, these memes will show you that it's all just a part of the job. The one thing all kids have in common is that they go out of their way to make sure you know you are always needed — even if it is to clean up spills, carry small toys in your purse, or help them retrieve the Lego they dropped in the toilet.
So if you're need of a good laugh, find a quiet place (if you can), and check out some of these memes that do a great job of summing up all that is good, bad, and gross about being a mom.
