55 Most Hilarious Mommy Memes To Drive Your Stress Away
“They’re always surprised by it too. Like it doesn’t happen every day”
If there’s only a way to tell kids how lucky they are to be tucked in for sleep at the proper time, maybe their bedroom tantrums would stop. In reality, though, children resist bedtime tucking not because they want to give their moms a hard time.
Most times, it is usually because their schedules and body clocks are changing, they might be worried about nightmares or they are developing a sense of independence. Whatever the reason, this just means moms have to be extra patient, as if they don’t have to be every single time.
“Had hundreds of these. Got tangled every time”
If you are a 1990s or early 2000s kid, you probably remember the sass of butterfly clips. Popular teen icons like Britney Spears and Hilary Duff played a huge part in making it trendy.

Technically, butterfly clips are essential because they pull back sections of hair from the top of the head, making one more tidy and comfortable. Yet who are we kidding? They are loved because of the colorful glamour! We only wish kids in the future had a taste of this trend.
“Good for him”
While many mothers stay awake to tend to infants in the middle of the night, there are also those who stay awake even though their children are already grown-ups. Apart from the physical distractions of hot flashes and disrupted body clocks, one main reason is that their thoughts are racing.

As said by Grown & Flown, a mother’s mind may buzz with worries and questions they can’t get answered during the day. This being said, perhaps it’s understandable why husbands deserve a side eye sometimes, right?
“Scrolling through 166 photos while she threw play food at me”
There is no denying that being a mom covers almost all responsibilities and truly, it’s not an easy feat. In reality though, sometimes mothers need their daily dose of alone time too! For some, it may be going out for lunch, visiting the salon, or planning trips with friends.

While for others, it may simply look like scrolling through the trendy Met Gala photos. After all, the event only happens once a year where famous personalities show up in the most creative fashion statement according to a specific theme set. The best thing? It’s a charity event.
“There are cleaning supplies where printer paper used to be?!”
Here is another magic that adulting can bring about: you suddenly love grocery shopping days. Well, at least for many people as we see in this meme. Dr. Bea of Cleveland Clinic explained that people have grown to love shopping because it stimulates the senses.

The smell of something new and colorful displays makes one feel they are out of reality in a more pleasant state. No wonder this dopamine-inducing activity has become a trend that one can even get angry when something is changed in the arrangement!
“I’m still miffed about the argument with my brother in 1986”
Isn’t it comforting to know we aren’t the only ones? This annoying feeling of regret and comedy makes you wish you could go back in time and act better in certain situations. Another thing, the flashbacks are greater when there’s an argument in the memory.

Psych Central explained it best; people are drawn to this phenomenon because this is how the mind attempts to self-soothe. The more you replay the conversation, the more you can analyze what happened and what you could’ve done better.
“11:30-ish before lunch/nap is the danger zone here”
Here we have a reminder from our lovely mothers, and it’s the kind you don’t question but just follow. If noon and afternoon errands can get an adult cranky, how much more is a baby whose still developing their body rhythms?

Love Very Blog listed possible reasons why babies are more grumpy during the afternoons. It could be because they are overtired, or their circadian rhythm is still developing, which means they need more sleep in other parts of the day apart from the nighttime.
“A serious issue in our house! That’s why we sell bags now”
For the first few times, it can be a no problem. Yet after a while, moms can’t help but just stare at their kids hoping the message comes across, and this facial expression said it best! While mothers are superheroes and can do almost anything, one solution to this dilemma is training kids to properly contain their stuff.

Baby Chick advised that parents can set an example and be specific with rules. Another approach is to make cleaning and arranging a fun game, where kids can earn points or even money.
“40-something times? Heck no.”
Gentle parenting is not a myth; it is an evidence-based approach to raising children effectively. The four main elements of this approach are empathy, respect, understanding, and boundaries. It is a way to maximize a child’s potential through compassion and observing boundaries.

We’re glad mothers try to be consistent with this approach, but we also can’t blame them if, at some point, gentle parenting leaves their system. Who likes saying the same thing 48 times, right? Perhaps it’s all about balance.
“I look and feel like this most of the time”
The number of affirmations this meme got on social media is enough testament that mothers are willing to go through anything for their families. It happens to the point of even putting their skincare routine at the last part of their to-do list.

However, this also served as a reminder of the importance of self-care for mothers. Every person has a different meaning and approach to self-care, which can vary from going out to dinner with a partner, having a coffee date with a friend, or taking naps in the middle of the day.
“Can I just have a teeny tiny little biteski?”
With all the hustle and bustle of life, sometimes fighting with your husband is the last thing you would want. However, nurturing your partner could easily fall away too; especially if you are a mom who maintains children and the household.

Nevertheless, despite the ups and downs, investing in your relationship and caring for each other is essential to your well-being and your children. This hilarious yet thoughtful habit of making sure they ate already strengthens connections.
Next: Sometimes you learn to just shush your children.
“They’re always surprised by it too. Like it doesn’t happen every day”
If there’s only a way to tell kids how lucky they are to be tucked in for sleep at the proper time, maybe their bedroom tantrums would stop. In reality, though, children resist bedtime tucking not because they want to give their moms a hard time.

Most times, it is usually because their schedules and body clocks are changing, they might be worried about nightmares or they are developing a sense of independence. Whatever the reason, this just means moms have to be extra patient, as if they don’t have to be every single time.
“It takes every bit of self-control I have”
This is a different story of patience and self-control, though. As much as you want to run to your children and help them fix things so they will be done quickly, sometimes the best thing to do is watch and let them learn, fail, and fix themselves.

Similarly, kids also love it when mothers are always there for them, but it is essential for their growth to learn by themselves and become their own problem-solvers. Allowing children to experience this makes them more independent and confident human beings.
“Hello, don’t speak to me”
Premenstrual syndrome is something only women understand and this meme is pretty relatable for almost everyone. Perhaps it would be better if people around would just stop talking and let one be.

After all, this phenomenon can all be traced back to hormonal changes; most of which are beyond control. During PMS, there are fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels, which affects the mood. This is also the reason why negative emotions such as anger and sadness are easily triggered.
“Sounds more like the managers where I work”
There are stereotypes that mothers are softer, and fathers do the work of disciplining. Perhaps those who quickly assume that did not see this meme happening in real life yet. Sometimes mothers could feel like the villain for interrupting some “fun times,” especially if it is time for bed.

Mothers do it right though, because children need to relax instead of getting hyper before bedtime. They are advised to read a book, listen to gentle rhymes, or practice breathing exercises.
“My kid screaming for a fruit snack while I’m on the highway”
Sometimes you just want to command your brain to divide itself and do multiple things simultaneously. This is especially true if you are a mother who has to juggle societal responsibilities and the duty of listening to your children whatever it is they are saying.

Although it can get frustrating, children need positive attention for their self-image development. When they receive such, they develop a mindset that they are heard, which then turns into confidence in anything they face later in their lives.
“I laughed and asked the teacher if she was serious.”
Going to school fairs and hearing feedback from your child’s teacher might seem like you are hearing from a different person. Well, at least that’s how most parents described it! Some even asked the teacher not just once but many times if they were referring to the same kid.

Crystal I. Lee, Psy.D. explained to Reader’s Digest that kids are much worse around their parents because they are comfortable with them. When they leave the house and interact with new people and environments, they may withhold emotions and behaviors.
