WARNING! This article contains light spoilers for 'Bird Box'.

Netflix's hit thriller Bird Box sees reluctant mother Malorie (Sandra Bullock) guide two small children to safety while navigating the perils of a postapocalyptic world. 

What's more the entire family has to make the journey blindfolded, as just seeing what's around them will result in their certain death.

Most parents will identify with Malorie's anxiety over raising children in uncertain times, and her willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival. 

They'll also likely have a chuckle at the many related #parenting memes that have flooded onto social media since Bird Box made its debut in late December:
