15 Parenting Quotes That Are Sure to Make You Laugh

Cook. Laundry-doer. Question-answerer. Crust-cutter-offer. Barbie-shoe finder. As a parent, these are just a few of the hats you wear on a daily basis that many non-parents may not actually know are just a part of the job. These important but unofficial duties inspired us to make a call for parenting quotes from our followers, and folks really delivered — sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. (P.S. If you are really feeling the ugly right now, try out some of these self-care activities with your kid and you might feel a little bit better.)

We asked parents on social media to tell us that they were parents without actually telling us they were parents, and we literally can’t stop laughing at all of the responses. Check out some of the super creative ways parents described what it’s like to raise kids today. We couldn’t make this stuff up.
