These memes suggest an unhealthy antipathy towards small children. This vindictiveness could be expunged with a few sessions on a psychiatrist's couch.

@ Yorkshire Pudding -- But only if the shrink has a sense of humour!

Bob said...

I.Love.These.

My father, who gifted me with a fabulous sense of humor, when asked who was his favorite child would always say: "That kid who lives across the street."

And I turned out okay, didn't I?

Val Ewing said...

My mother would often say: I don't have any children that lived....

I often would offer to sell at least one of my boys quite often....

I still love them though...

Marie Smith said...

The octopus baby is adorable.

Polly said...

Love all of these😀

Pixie said...

Too funny. I needed these this morning:)

Boud said...

Plenty of parents would have opted for any of these choices.

Frank said...

I don’t have kids either but I worked in a group home with young kids with emotional issues and in a child psych ward. So many kids who didn’t eat their sandwiches.

Tom said...

...thanks for the chuckles.

roentare said...

Some of these memes are life lessons to learn from

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

This is so on point...!
LOL I don't have children either and I stand behind ALL OF THESE MEMES.
Especially the baby in the octopus onesie!!!

XOXO

Travel said...

Thanks for the first real laughs of the day, I needed that. I don't understand children, I didn't grow up around them, I didn't have any, I don't think I ever was one.

Liz Hinds said...

So good! The baby in the octopus suit!

Ellen D. said...

I have 5 children and 7 grandchildren and these are still funny memes to me! :)

Mistress Maddie said...

I don't have kids either so I'm partial to these jokes. I can't tell you what that squealing and squawking, and those newborn yodels does to me. When I'm in the presence of kids I have no idea what to do with them.

Deedles said...

I, the mother of two and grandmother of two approve these messages and am so glad I'm not alone!

whkattk said...

🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE these. Don't have kids but did my share of babysitting and every one of these is appropriate!

Leanna said...

The above advice is spot on. No need for a disclaimer. Although some toddlers are not really good to wipe down a kitchen with. I know, I tried with my neighbor's grandson. He left a lot of residue. Especially sticky strawberry jam on the countertop near the sink.

Kirk said...

Don't have children either but nonetheless found these funny.

The joke about chicken the animal and chicken the food reminded me of the 1955 movie Giant, where Liz Taylor's children treat a turkey as a pet only to get the surprise of their lives on Thanksgiving.

e said...

I started laughing at the first one and didn't stop! That felt great... thank you!

Beverley said...

You don't have to have kids of your own to know all of them are spot on.
Pets are very much on the "hope they never learn the truth" spectrum.
So...same thing.

The Happy Whisk said...

Okay ... the blob of jam. I laughed out loud. A real lol. Then snapped a picture and shared it on text with local friends and family. So funny. Horrible and funny. I loved it. Thanks.

Damselfly said...

Spot on! Thanks ever so much for the laughs today. 😊

BootsandBraids said...

These are all my kind of parenting, LOL. Twin 1, now 57 years of age, just last week said she is still telling folks about the time I put her and her sister's photos on the side of the milk carton and, when they noticed, told them it's about time they went looking for their real parent.

Sassybear said...

These are very funny. We're a proud DINK couple!

Kathy G said...

I think that anyone who didn't laugh at at least one of these has lost their sense of humor.

Parnassus said...

Hi Debra, You know I loved all these. I even sent Octopus Baby to my sister. --Jim

Rostrose said...

Oh dear, the baby octopus! 🤪😂😁 (Will it ever forgive its parents?)
My favorite is the one with the favorite child 😉.
All the best, Traude

i love kids, but i couldn't eat a whole one in a single serving

Lady M said...

Semen Demons - I love it.

Mike said...

I wish I had know about Henpecked Hals facts years ago.

Joanne Noragon said...

Just today my daughter expressed sorrow and disbelief her oldest graduates college this year. And I could only thing, What goes around comes around.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Love these meme. Sometime it easier to raise puppies and such. They usually don't go out in public. And show the world what kind of screw up you are.

baili said...

I agree with first comment dear Debra that day by day children seem to have less importance in their lives of people.

But despite that I enjoyed all the memes thoroughly, same that felt sad also made me laugh honestly.
The octopus baby omg 🥰♥️♥️♥️

Rade said...

Yes, that ship has certainly sailed for me.

While visiting her many years ago, my sister asked if I could change my niece.
I asked drolly, "Into what?"

Heidrun said...

Why not... have fun!
