40 Hilariously Wholesome Parents Who Made Their Children’s Lives A Little More Fun
I grew up with a single mom who was always exhausted, but somehow never too tired to make me laugh. She worked hard, carried a lot, and still found little ways to fill my days with joy and silliness whenever she could.
Looking back, it wasn’t the big gestures that stuck with me. It was the jokes, the goofy moments, and the effort to make things feel lighter even when life wasn’t.
These wholesome parents remind me so much of that energy. They’re the kind of adults who know that being present, playful, and a little ridiculous can mean everything to a kid.
These moments are pure, funny love in action.
