If you are a teenager, parents can be seen as kind of… annoying. They do strange things sometimes but there is no fighting it, because when you fight your parents, you will never win!
So instead of fighting with them about something, why don’t we just laugh at silly things they did? Luckily, there is a thread on Reddit that is dedicated to just that. Do you have strange parents with even more strange beliefs? Fear not, you are not alone!
We guarantee there’s at least one hilarious meme in here you’ll be able to relate to. We found 75 of the best ones.
1. Others have it worse
Okay, before we start complaining about our parents, just a little disclaimer. There are others who have it worse than us, so don’t forget that!
2. Can’t win
So you do everything right — dishes, babysitting, cooking dinner — but you accidentally forgot to fold the blanket on the couch. So that’s what you get punished for… sometimes ya just can’t win.
3. “I’m such a good dad”
I just made my child cry so I will simply tell them to stop… That should do it. “My childhood,” one person commented on Reddit.

4. You deserve better
This man sees you and sees that you deserve better parents. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
5. Wait, so, what do you want
Interesting. This is a game? What is the next move I’m supposed to make?!
6. “I own you”
This pretty much sums up every parental fight — you can do everything right but they can always hold the fact that they own you over your head!
7. Parent discovers anime for the first time
This mom just heard of anime and decided it’s demonic. Just wait until she discovers comic books!
8. So many memories
“Being locked in with my parents is bringing back so many memories,” this user wrote. Okay, maybe not the best memories.
9. Good logic
When parents are like, “My child isn’t doing great in school, so maybe I should take away all of the things they love.” And then they wonder why their child is doing even worse. Hm, we wonder!
10. “My parents think mental illness is an attention hoax”
“You know that mental illness and depression are fake, right?” No parent should say ever. What the heck?
11. “True story”
Did you know that parents can have spyware that allows them to see what you do on your phone? We had no idea, but it sounds terrifying…
12. Useful advice
They tell you to get a school counsellor so that you can talk about mental health and parents… But then they notify your parents all about it. Hm.
13. Mom’s spyware
When you think your mom got you a computer so that you could play Minecraft… Nope, it’s actually so she can spy on you, according to this meme.
14. “You’re slowing down the Internet”
When you get so close to finishing your class project but then your parents accidentally delete the whole thing… Yeah, no thanks.
15. When you’re in a relationship
When you could be potentially texting the partner of your dreams but then your parents convince you otherwise. How rude.
16. Can’t win
When you’re in a fight with your mom and make a valid point… Yeah, that doesn’t matter. She “owns you” (according to her, at least) and just decides to take away all of your stuff instead.
17. Logic
Logic does not play a part in fights with your parents. They birthed you and that’s that (that’s their argument at least).
18. Public speaking skills
When you are trying to develop your public speaking skills and your parents are just like, “Nah.”
19. When you oversleep
When you oversleep versus when your parents oversleep… It’s a completely different story.
20. Source of happiness
When parents take your one source of happiness away… Rude.
21. Serious dad problems
It sounds like the dad of whoever created this meme really doesn’t do anything right. At least Sponge Bob Square Pants understands.
22. It’s three feet away
When your parent needs something that is only 3 feet away. It’s not like they have to run a whole marathon to go and get it.
23. When mom’s in a bad mood
When mom is in a bad mood, so she punishes you for essentially nothing. Cool, cool.
24. There has to be something wrong
Your parents just told you to go upstairs and play video games so naturally, you assume there is something wrong. You’re actually allowed to have fun!
25. Parents
Did you tell the truth? Did you technically win the argument? Your parents will probably just come back with this.
26. Admit your child made a valid point
It doesn’t matter if you made a valid point. Your parents will probably react like this. Denial forever.
27. A funny thing that happened
You told your guidance counsellor that you are unhappy. Then your mom found out. Her reaction? Complete denial.
28. Some people have kind grandmas
And then others have grandmas who get mad at you for discontinuing your sewing lessons, even though you were only 8-years-old and most children that age don’t have the attention span for sewing lessons.
29. “And then they scold me for being awkward”
Maybe your child would be less awkward if you didn’t take their friends away from them outside of school. Oh, the irony.
30. In an argument
When you’re in a logical argument and you’re mom is like, “I gave birth to you” so then you come back with, “I didn’t ask to be born.” Ouch… But pretty hilarious.
31. True
Mom, you’re not watching the right parts of anime. Duh!
32. There’s a difference?
Parents will look at these two photos and if you ask them to spot the difference, they won’t understand. There’s no difference between the truth and disrespect to them!
33. “I hope I can get away”
When you’re looking to get away from this but then coronavirus exists. Now we’re all stuck. And then your parents don’t even believe in the virus.
34. Imagine
Imagine losing an argument? Nah, parents can’t.
35. Anti-vaxxer
“You can legally decline a vaccine they won’t force it and even then why would u deny one unless it would actually have a negative effect on your child,” this Reddit user explained.
36. More anti-vaxxers
“Mom sends me enough stupid articles that it’s impossible to even have a conversation with her without her going crazy sending unproven research and fake claims,” this user wrote. “She denies anything that I send her is real, it’s all just a money making scheme from ‘Big Pharma.’ She also thinks Bill Gates is evil.”
37. Sh*t talking about your child
“This was my parent and their sibling talking about me when I was a senior in highschool. Pink is parent and black is her sibling,” the Reddit user explained. Ouch.
38. Kicked out
“My mother kicked me out during a pandemic so I packed up and flew to the other side of the country.” Ouch.
39. Crazy dad
“My dad has claimed we (Iowa) are doing too well at flattening the curve, and, to maximize efficiency, we should infect more to raise to our ‘optimal’ curve,” this Reddit user explained. Big yikes.
40. “Do you think the Earth is flat?”
“And should I take my children out of school so I can teach them the Earth is flat?” No, please… Keep your child in school.
41. This applies to many parents
Just because you suffered and “turned out fine,” doesn’t mean that everyone should suffer. Makes sense!
42. What parents actually teach us
Parents think they are teaching you how to behave when really, they are teaching you how to listen for footsteps, how to look busy and how to lie on the spot. Ha!
43. We’ve all been through this
When you’re at the store and your parent is yelling at the staff. You’re obviously embarrassed and signaling a big “sorry” to them.
44. Should’ve stayed home
According to this person’s mother, this whole pandemic is pretty much her fault. Not sure if that makes the most sense.
45. Oops
People who say “family first” clearly have never had to deal with a toxic family. Everyone is different.
46. He’s safe…
When parents don’t want to vaccinate their children… Also, why is this child not protected in this photo?!
47. Contradictions
Parents who make fun of everything you do, but then wonder why you don’t spend enough time with them. Hm, maybe if they just put two and two together…
48. Decide!
One minute you’re a child and the next moment you’re a grown adult. Sometimes parents go back and forth but you just want them to decide!
49. Family isn’t an excuse
We like to think that blood is thick and hopefully that is the case for most, but it’s not the case for all. If a family member is treating you wrong, don’t force yourself to endure it!
50. Still bitter
The choices some parents will make…
51. When mom doesn’t know you’re bi
When you’re in the LGBTQ+ community and your mom has no idea so she makes comments like this. Uncomfortable, to say the least.
52. Maybe I should tell them
Maybe I should tell my parents that I’ve been kind of sad and stressed lately… Or actually, maybe I shouldn’t.
53. You’re not listening
Believe it or not, your child has probably tried communicating their feelings to you. You just didn’t listen, so now that’s why they’re sad.
54. Finally
Perhaps a bit extreme but hey, whatever gets the job done!
55. How rude
If you’ve never overheard your parents sh*t talking you, have you ever even lived?
56. Friends don’t get it
When you tell your friends you have strict parents and they clearly just don’t… get it.
57. Whenever mom is losing
She will play this card forever, probably even when you are 30-years-old. Just you wait and see.
58. But staying silent is also bad
There really is no way you can possibly win. We get it.
59. Every kid growing up with strict parents
Strict parents want you to be honest until you’re honest. Then they change their minds and turn on you in a second!
60. Fun
When you had a hard day but your parent insists they had a harder day. Sometimes it’s just nice to have someone to listen rather than compare with you.
61. Problem solved
Trouble in paradise? Just have a baby. That will solve everything!
62. Where’s my unconditional love?
When parents abuse their children and then expect them to still love them.
63. Gotta save those pennies
Parents can’t know every single thing about you ever. Then it starts to get a little weird. Boundaries!
64. Toxic attitude
When you’re in an argument with a parent and you make a perfectly logical point and then they respond with, “I don’t like your attitude.” What does that have to do with anything?
65. Radiation!
Parents who are convinced that coronavirus is caused by 5g are also parents that don’t believe in vaccines. Poor children.
66. Hypocrites
Parents who tell you not to stare but then go ahead and stare at a stranger who they think is weird. Purely based off of appearances too, obviously.
67. Disrespect
Winning an argument and disrespect? Same same but different.
68. Vicious cycle
You’re crying because your parent hurt you so then they hurt you again… It’s a vicious cycle that doesn’t quite make sense.
69. Rent
Not only is paying for rent hard, but when you have a parent who is taking money? Well now it’s just downright impossible!
70. Parents take note
Toxic parents please take note. You can actually get children to listen without threatening them! Wow!
71. The confusion
Parents blow up at everything you do but then want you to open up. Confused, much? It’s like they’re setting you up for failure.
72. Thank gosh this kid had an understanding teacher
This mom made premature assumptions and threw out her kid’s science project… And then she wonders why they’re not doing well in school!
73. No
Parents control you by keeping you under their roof! Don’t be independent?!
74. Do but don’t
Come and spend time with us, that is, if you want to feel uncomfortable and be made fun of.
75. Five missed calls
Are they overprotective or is it just nice that they care? Either way, it’s a bit excessive.
Can you relate to any of these? If so, we feel for you!
