One of the biggest struggles in parenting is bedtime. Sure, there are the snuggles, the bedtime stories, and the nighttime bath that leaves your child smelling so good. And then prayers, a hug and kiss, and lights out.

But what ensues after the bedtime ritual is anything but serene. It's like the human version of whack-a-mole, with children popping out of bed so often that despite how many you have, it feels like you have ten times more than that.

So, kudos parents for pushing through it all. Try to laugh off the struggles with these spot-on memes about our all-too-familiar bedtime problems.
