Strict Parents raise the best liars... the saying rings true even today. While all of it may come from a place of life, safety, and concern, sometimes... it can be a little too much. Sometimes, honestly, it makes no sense that I have a curfew of 6 p.m. or we have to lie to our parents to be able to go out for something silly.
Now, when all is said and done, and you're sitting at home with nothing to do because your mom and dad said no to yet another plan, we've got your back. We've rummaged through the nooks and crannies of the internet to find some of the most relatable, albeit funny, memes, that will make you feel seen, and hopefully, plant a smile on your face.
Plus, if it makes you feel better, all these memes show is that you are not alone. You got this. Have fun!
