Becoming a father means joining a special club of a bunch of people who laugh at the same ridiculous things that you do. Before the internet and the dawn of Instagram memes, that world was mostly relegated to the dads who lived around you. Now, however, dads across the world can connect and laugh and feel moved by the same images that convey the same feeling and it helps them feel less alone in their pursuit.
And whether you are a brand new dad or a seasoned veteran in the parenting game, it always helps to get to see all of the hilarious pictures and videos that will help you survive the chaos of raising kids. Which is why, each week, Fatherly pays tribute to some of the best dad moments that were captured on Instagram. Here are eight of the best #dadstagram memes from this week.
