Still better than “we stay together for the kids”-gang. Very good role models for social interactions, love and so on :)
Agreed! Did all 3 of us well, the breakup.
And hearing that your whole life from your mother that you are the sole reason they are still suffering together. All for you… that will surely help.
Straight up, my parents did the “stay together for the kids” thing
I honestly didn’t know what loving couple looked like until I was an adult
Shit’s rough
It’s still so wild to me to see parents who are happy together and have fun and don’t yell. Completely fucking insane.
I feel old saying this but I think its dumb to put the “Nobody: _____”. Crop that and this meme works just as well, and IMO a whole lot better.
“nobody:” indicates that in the kid’s perception, the split up was out of the blue. The “nobody:” formulation indicates a moment of initial silence, or of everything being fine. The contrast of initial silence/everything seeming ok, and a dramatic break up of one’s parents adds an extra layer of drama and comedy to the situation. It serves a purpose.
What I don’t get, is why wouldn’t it be everybody? Everybody was silent like everything this is normal
I do appreciate the explanation

Felt like it. In sixth grade, some kid was getting bullied for their parents splitting. The teacher asked everyone with separated parents to raise their hands and more than half the class did.
That kid with their weird family still being all together and stuff.
Useless nobody for real.
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
My parents when I was 12: let’s split up, and drag our kids through a shitty divorce. Bonus points for using them as pawns to get back at one another. Let’s keep it up for 10 years
Mine just really didn’t have any business being together. They were not too political about it after.
But I’m sorry to hear.
Mine still can’t be in the same room as each other. On the bright side I got a crippling case of anxiety which I turned into a sense of humour. Now I endlessly shitpost memes
Mine either but at least they’re not trying to politicize it with me, so at least there’s that.
Me when I was 12. Around that time two of my aunts also divorced. My dad side a couple more split earlier on too. My generation of cousins and siblings had a running joke that divorce was in our dna. Probably some truth to that.
Children of divorced parents are more likely to get divorced when compared to those who grew up in two-parent families – and genetic factors are the primary explanation, according to a new study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University and Lund University in Sweden.
