Whether you have a boy or a girl, there are so many wonderful things about being the parent. But might notice some pretty vast differences, depending on the gender you have.

Having girls means you can dress them in floofy outfits with matching headbands when they’re babies, and ground them when they turn into bratty teenagers. It’s a lot different with boys.

You see, boys are a lot less maintenance than girls are. The don’t care what they wear, they’re not nearly as picky about things, and their teenage years won’t drive you to drink (hopefully). You’re nearly guaranteed a handy helper later on in life when you don’t feel like screwing in a new light bulb, and if you’re a mother, you get to have a mother/son dance at his future wedding. It’s pretty awesome.

It’s true that there’s a lot of fun things about raising boys—but, okay, we admit—there are some pretty interesting things about it, too. Things you can only realize if you have a son.

So all the “boy moms” and “boy dads” out there—these memes are for you. Here are the funniest memes about raising boys that couldn’t be more true.

1. The toilet seat is rarely dry

   When it is, it’s like hearing the angel’s singing.

2. Every piece of furniture is dangerous

   Because all they do is jump off of things.

3. You want to burn all of the toys

   Instead, you just remove the noise makers yet you have no idea why they suddenly don’t work anymore…

   Hey, at least it’s not a stinky foot in your face, right?

5. And the bathroom never stops smelling like a bathroom

   Yes, you HAVE tried potpourri…

6. Let’s not even talk about the hands in the pants

   I mean, it’s CONSTANT. It’s as if they have a magnet that pulls their hand there.

   If you’re going to ride in your dinosaur undies, can you at LEAST put your helmet on…

   …But they’re quickly followed by something ridiculously boyish.

    This is MUCH more important in boys’ eyes.

17. …Or getting them to change their underwear

    You learn to not even think it’s gross anymore. Three days? Whatever.
