Memes for All the Tired Parents Out There Who Are Trying to Raise Boys

There’s been a lot of push back lately about the phrase “boys will be boys.”

Understandably, when it’s used in defense of inexcusable behavior on the part of men, especially in the realm of assault, etc, then it’s pretty repulsive.

But there’s another sense in which the term gets used – the sense in which I’d always thought of it. And that is that boys are just…kind of insane. Little boys especially. And they’re gonna do weird, goofy, chaotic stuff.

And at a certain point there’s nothing you can do but meme about it.

10. Pay attention

Too laughably doomed little words.

1. Failed successfully

Yeah, try it again though.

I guess boys really will be boys. Since that’s…a tautology and all.

Memes for Everyone Who Needs a Break from Raising and Parenting Boys

When I was a kid, I was at the house of a couple of my best friends and we had a great idea.

There was this long, fairly steep staircase that went from the kitchen to the basement, see, and also, there was a sled in the garage.

Inpatient for the snows of winter, we grabbed the sled and started taking turns riding it down the stairs and crashing into makeshift piles of pillows to prevent us from hitting the concrete wall.

When discovered and told to stop immediately, I protested, as I hadn’t had enough turns.

Raising boys is wild. Here are some memes to prove it.

10. My craft and your craft

Hey, at least they’re talking to ya.

We can’t know. There’s just no way to know.

8. Again! Again!

It can go on like this for an eternity, scientists think.

7. The recommendations

“And then this one ALSO played Fornite!”

Boys will be boys, I guess.

People Recount Their First Kiss Horror Stories

It’s a rite of passage for young people. And old people too I guess, depending on when you started getting busy. Regardless of the age, everyone remembers their first kiss. Maybe it was great. Maybe it was terrible.

Take a look at the 13 AskReddit entries below to see if your experience measures up.

1. Teeth!

I was 14 and she grabbed me and she whacked her teeth against mine. She was pretty embarrassed because it was her first kiss also so we just laughed it off and tried again. I ended up dating that girl for almost 2 years and then she cheated on me.

2. Alaskan Air

Homecoming freshman year. Wore too much makeup and a horrible velvet dress. The hottest guy on the swim team had been flirting with me for weeks. Went outside to his car to say goodbye. He kissed me and I all but melted. Like a bad paperback romance the world went silent all I could feel were his warm lips and the cool alaskan air. When he pulled back he said ” you really need to learn how to do that.” It was horrible…

3. Sleep-Away Camp

Summer sleep-away camp. I was maybe 10 or 11. The boys came over for a dance. One of them danced with me and held my hand all night. I tried to get him to sit with me and “look at the stars.” As soon as he looked up I grabbed him and gave him a peck on the lips. He literally RAN away.

What a f**king tease.

4. Drool

Truth or dare in 7th grade. It was her first kiss too, and we just sort of sloppily drooled all over each other while 6 other kids awkwardly cheered for us. Then the weird kid Nick, ate a caterpillar.

5. Just breathe

…My family and her family have been close for a long time and we’d known each other forever. Our families were on vacation together in Key West, Florida and we were alone one night on a pier. We had both hinted at liking each other for a while and it just happened. I passed out about five seconds after the kiss (the kiss lasted about thirty seconds). I woke up on a park bench with her sitting over me asking if I was okay. She and I are still close (in a more than friendship way) to this day, but sadly due to distance it’s never gone anywhere.

6. Church Dance

It was horrible. I thought you HAD to French kiss and I thought that meant doing all sorts of flipping and twirling motions with my tongue. I was 13 at a church dance and I convinced a girl to be my girlfriend. From there it was 45 seconds of the most distrusting and overbearing tongue assault known to mankind. Within 15 hours she broke up with me. I learned that kissing should be a bit more civil.

7. Watch the nose

It went absolutely horrible. It was a first kiss for both of us. Both of us closed our eyes, he opened his mouth and I didn’t. The result was a tongue up my nose. I do not recommend the experience.

15+ Kids Reveal the Shocking Reasons They Were Disowned by Their Parents

Can you imagine ever having such a horrible fight with your child that you’d disown them? Even if you don’t have kids right now, it’s pretty hard to imagine, right?

Sadly, it does happen. Sometimes the kids might actually be at fault, but more often then not it’s the parents who simply cannot accept something about their child.

These people were disowned by their own parents, and these confessions explain why.

The reasons will shock you.

1. Reach out to them if you think enough time has passed. You never know…

Photo Credit: Whisper

2. It’ll never be easy.

Photo Credit: Whisper

3. Wow.

Photo Credit: Whisper

4. Yes. That is absolutely a shame.

Photo Credit: Whisper

5. Grrrrrrrr….

Photo Credit: Whisper

6. Yes. There’s no reality where a loving god would be okay with that.

Photo Credit: Whisper

7. Wow, that came out of nowhere!

Photo Credit: Whisper

8. Yeah, that’s a reversal I didn’t see coming.

Photo Credit: Whisper

9. Yay!

Photo Credit: Whisper

10. Don’t feel guilty AT ALL.

Photo Credit: Whisper

11. Oh snap!

Photo Credit: Whisper

12. Come on parents…

Photo Credit: Whisper

13. Maybe forgive her?

Photo Credit: Whisper

14. Worth it!

Photo Credit: Whisper

15. Don’t regret things like this, ever.

Photo Credit: Whisper

16. You’ll see them eventually, and everybody will blame your parents. Guaranteed.

Photo Credit: Whisper

17. So sorry to see stories like this.

Photo Credit: Whisper

18. Jeezus… what kind of monsters disown somebody for THIS?

Photo Credit: Whisper

19. Well, best they’re not around you and your family then.

Photo Credit: Whisper

Listen, many parents aren’t people we trust or respect, so not having them in our lives in any meaningful way won’t hurt us.

Still, it is nice to have somebody in your corner when you need it, and a good, loving parent or parents can really help out.

What do you think?

Check out these 15 guys and see how they test their potential mates while on dates

Viral Twitter Thread Perfectly Explains Why Nobody Should “Wait for You” to Change

Stop me if you’ve heard this one – girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy needs to grow up, girl keeps waiting for him to do it. It happens way too often. If it hasn’t happened to you personally, it probably did to someone you know.

Well, this Twitter thread is for you.

Twitter user @awkward_duck shared a heartbreaking tale of how a friend of hers (a guy) kept screwing up and not taking his relationship seriously. Result: relationship lost.

The set up…

My homeboy, who i love to pieces, had a great gf but he kept messing up. Like big time. Finally she called it quits. He told her he was gonna take the time to become a better person, & she agreed they could reconcile later if he really worked on himself.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

2 years?!?

That was 2 years ago. & my homeboy really just took that time to play around until he felt ready to be in a r’ship.

Now she’s engaged to get married to another guy this summer& my homeboy is HURT. But, i told him no one is required to stick around while you ‘figure’ stuff out

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

You never have anybody “on hold”

And i realize this kinda thing happened to a few other guys i know, and like my homeboy they were all extremely upset to find the person they thought they had on hold moved on.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

She told you bro!

said he felt strung along, but she told him from jump she would be open, but she wasn’t gonna put herself on hold.

What he thought would happen is they’d just drift back together eventually w/no work on his part, while he used the breakup as time to play around.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Well, it worked for Offset and Cardi B, so…

Now he’s tryna think of some last-ditch grand romantic gesture. Had to remind him this ain’t the movies. Gotta hold that L.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Gotta let it go, bro…

Also it’s selfish. You hurt someone. You did nothing to fix the harm. They move on a find a happy healthy love and you wanna swoop in at the 11th hour and interrupt that?

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Gotta fix yourself first…

Oh, now i remember why i brought a all this up- emotional labor.

He says to me she should’ve helped him unpack the stuff he needed to work on.

He hurt her repeatedly and then expected her to help him work through why.

Go to therapy. Or talk to a faith leader. Or read…

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Wait… 7 years?!

But the gag is, I told him back when they broke up that she was gon’ get snatched up if he didn’t get it together. And this man chuckled at the thought. After being on/off for 7 years he assumed she’d always be available to him.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Don’t do the math. Just don’t.

YALL and then he was sitting here tryna do the math over the phone, like

“Well, if they’re engaged she MUSTVE been talking with him damn near right after we broke up’

Ok? And?! Guys love fucking up & then make the real travesty about how quickly she moved on.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Look in the mirror bro

‘From what I understand you were hitting up girls while IN a relationship, you don’t get to dictate what’s the appropriate amount of time before she gets to move on.’

He was like ‘well i said i was sorry. I apologized. But i think anyone should wait atleast 6 months.’

-_-

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

You blew it

Tbh is was a PRIVILEGE that she was even open to reconciliation. But he fumbled that, too.

Now he gotta hear about the wedding plans from all of their mutuals and he’s in shambles

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

She is fixing to get married. What do you not understand about that?

His LB’s (he’s a kappa) are tryna gas him to drive up to see her. This ain’t A Different World. Her fiancée will probably stomp homie out.

Stop encouraging your trifling friends to harass their ex. Start encouraging them to do better in the first place.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Being a friend means tough love sometimes…

I started this with I love my friend. But when the men in my life are, on occasion, graced with my advice I don’t do them the disservice of sugarcoating it.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 23, 2019

Naturally, so many could relate and shared their own experiences…

TBH, last minute saves are insulting…

No one wants to be a last minute option.. and no one wants to wait around forever.. I love this thread..

— Pack of Dulce (@kikiMari3) February 23, 2019

Please be with me so I can take advantage…

Yeah&I think this is a perfect example of a person who doesn’t really care about their S/O but wants them there because of the comfort of knowing they’ve stuck around the shitty behavior so long they’ll continue to&wants to act hurt when they don’t. They always move on fast tho.

— #1 Gritty Stan (@mgabb__) February 24, 2019

Take care of yourself first

Loved reading this. Been through this time and time again trying to help someone change but ended up taking away from my own peace & hurting myself along the way. Let her go and let her be happy. pic.twitter.com/VaEsdXSXuK

— Whoa-KIM-osabe (@WhoaKimosabe1) February 24, 2019

This.

pic.twitter.com/HFlJccqypg

— HAWII WANJOHI (@hawiiwanjohi) February 23, 2019

So many don’t even know this about themselves!

He isn’t ready for a relationship. Analogy: men who engage in domestic violence & then beg for forgiveness repeatedly are on a power trip where their sick psyche thrives on “confirmation” that they are indispensable no matter what they do. Endpoint is death for the abused.

— Etan O (@EdincoT) February 24, 2019

Yep.

pic.twitter.com/eVFVz4HWck

— The Underacheiving Ravenclaw (@flower_maker) February 24, 2019

After 67K+ retweets and 165k+ likes, Brown tweeted her appreciation for people picking up her words and sharing them with the world. She also gave us all some advice we could use right now:

For those harmed. If you’re going through this, some weird grey area/post breakup fog use this time to prioritize you. Get ya self-work/glow-up popping. Therapy. Read a book. Take a class. Find a new bar

That got me through my breakup. Prioritizing self. Cliche, but effective.

— Rev Rell (@awkward_duck) February 26, 2019

The more you can work on you and feel better about who YOU are, the more you’ll be ready to meet that person who fits with the happiest (or happier) version of you.

Truth!

Men Open Up about ‘Dude Stuff’ that Women Don’t Know About

When they say “Women are from Venus, men are from Mars,” it really means that each gender has such a different experience of life that there are things they’ll simply never understand about each other.

This group of guys decided to share all the “dude” stuff to shed some light on why they spend time alone or why touching the top of a doorframe is so damn important!
