At TODAY Parents, we love seeing moms and dads post hilarious-but-true thoughts about parenthood on social media.

We also love seeing parents' jokes about the exhaustion of getting toddlers to sleep at bedtime and the chaos that summer vacation brings to the house.

So before you clean up after your kids for the fifth time today or stare into your refrigerator wondering what to make for dinner, grab a comfortable seat and laugh along with us. No one parents alone, right?

Want to share your funny parenting moments with TODAY? Tag TODAY Parents on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

No kidding

2020 is the monster under the bed our parents warned us about.

So much for a green thumb

Why buy tomatoes at the store for $5 when for $20 I can buy a tomato plant and watch it die of neglect on my patio

Same.

I need a break from my family so I can remember that I love them and do, in fact, want to continue living here.

Parenting is creepy sometimes

[last night, putting my 4 yo to bed]

Her, taking my face in her hands: Nite nite, Mommy. You’re the silliest and funnest in the whole world

Me, heart melting: Aw, baby. Nite nite

H: You’re the best and I hope you don’t die tonight

M: ...

The meltdown is coming

Sounds familiar

I just washed the same load of laundry for the third time this week so that should tell you everything you need to know about my current workload.

Epic combo

Kids and dogs are a great combo if you think scraping dog hair off a two year old's tongue while they gag sounds like a fun Monday night activity

Solid plan

If all else fails in our fight against racism, I have a contingency plan:

1. Find the world's most anti-racist spider.
2. Make it radioactive.
3. Have it bite every racist.

Wine's not boring

My 4yo’s favorite new word is “boring”

In related news my favorite new phrase is “bring home wine”

Sure having kids is hard, but have you ever helped your mom use an iPad?

DO IT!

Someone asked what it’s like to have a four year old so I punched them in the face while rage screaming LAUGH WITH ME NOW

Like a spa vacation...

If your initial reaction upon hearing a celebrity has been hospitalized for exhaustion is, “wow, that sounds so nice,” you’re probably a mom.
