Halloween can be a challenging time for parents. After spending all year telling their kids not to accept candy from strangers, they have to persuade them to knock on people’s doors and beg for it. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Between the costume struggles, sugar highs and pumpkin-carving debacles, parents have their hands full every October. Luckily, they have a sense of humor about it.

We’ve rounded up some hilarious comics that sum up parents’ Halloween struggles (and small victories). Keep calm and spook on!
