16 Pictures That Perfectly Describe Every Parent's Life

If I see one more friggin' image of a family all neatly seated around the dinner table, eating all of their veggies and laughing together in perfect harmony, I'm going to snap.

Do you have kids? If your answer was "yes," then you probably agree with me.

Parenting is awesome. But there are so many more appropriate adjectives — messy, dirty, candid, embarrassing, loud, exhausting, gross...adventurous? Does that sound better?

But I kid. The parenting gig is tough at times, but we NEED to laugh at life's little mishaps.

Not everything will go to plan. In fact, MOST things won't. So go with the flow and you'll have way more fun.
