19 funny end-of-school-year memes for every parent crawling toward the finish line 

Parenting is almost always a tiring job, but there’s a phenomenon that happens each year from May through June that makes it even more so. I’m talking about the end of the school year. Getting through those last few weeks of packing lunches, cleaning out backpacks and attending a million and one special school events is enough to make even the most seasoned parents feel like their sanity is slipping. Luckily, every parent on the Internet can relate, and they have the memes to prove it.

Here are 19 hilarious end-of-the-school-year memes that perfectly capture the good, bad and ugly parts of wrapping up the last month of school and preparing for summer vacation.
