Parenting: it takes a lot out of you. Between the many sleepless nights, the daily madcap rush to get everything done, and the constant, unrelenting stress, parenting is almost too much for one person to handle, and it shows. Parenting make you age at a rate somewhere between “being President of the United States” and “drinking from the wrong cup like the guy at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”

That’s the gist behind Got Toddlered, an Instagram account that humorously shows the many things toddlers have ruined in parents’ lives. It started when founder Mike Julianelle, shared photos showing the toll fatherhood has taken on him, and many other parents followed suit. Today, Julianelle runs the blog Dad and Buried, where, as he told Buzzfeed, he “Sarcastically — but honestly — complains about the challenges and annoyances of parenting.”

Below, you can check out some of the best of Got Toddlered. If you’re a parent, you’ll definitely laugh–if you’re not too exhausted.
