The ‘Why My Kid Is Crying’ page had just shy of 10k followers at the time of writing. The curator of the project shares photos and screenshots of parents posting about the most ridiculous stories that got their darling little angels to tear up.
We’re not going to pretend otherwise—the posts are incredibly funny. The only thing we’d advise you is to not eat or drink anything while you’re scrolling. We may or may not have chuckled a bit too strongly as we gulped down some coffee.

The founder of the page points out that kids “cry for the silliest reasons sometimes” and that you don’t always have to look for logic where none exists.
“Find some sanity in knowing that you're not alone when your baby or toddler throws a tantrum for something silly,” the curator alludes to the fact that crying over random and silly things is a very widespread phenomenon.
Random crying is not something that’s very rare. And that’s the beauty of the page: the content is incredibly relatable. Add some hilarious situations, a dash of weirdness, and some good old-fashioned venting, and you’ve got a powerful recipe for internet content that hits just right.
The thing is that as long as the internet continues to exist and people keep on having kids, parenting stories and memes will continue to be popular. It’s an evergreen topic (like cat pics and work rants).
However, that means that there’s always going to be some tough competition to stand out from other pages that tackle parenting. Carving out a niche, like focusing on ridiculous reasons why kids cry, is one way to set yourself further apart.
