Raising kids is not always easy. You really have to take the good times along with the bad times. Being the mom in the equation can be especially hard and draining both mentally and physically. As moms, we come together in many ways to share our stories that non-parents would just not understand. Stories like the ones in this post are totally relatable if you are a mom.
These Hilarious Tweets Perfectly Sum Up What It Is Like To Be A Mother
Dinner Time
This is so true, especially if you have teenagers. Even if you have a specific time that you start to cook dinner every night, they will still head for the cereal instead of waiting until a proper meal is cooked.
Say Dada
If you are a parent of multiple children, you know exactly how this mother feels. When you hear your name said more than any other words throughout the day, it gets old, fast. It is totally Daddy's turn to have his name said over and over again.
Time to Talk
Kids never want to talk when it is convenient for their parents. They like to talk when it is convenient for them, especially if it helps them put off something they do not want to do. And, as a parent, you cannot just ignore them when they are ready to talk, so you get stuck listening instead of getting them to do what you want them to do.
Hiding
Out of all of the posts in this article, this one is by far the most relatable. There is no such thing as having a snack to yourself as long as your children are around. I can remember hiding in my room and opening candy wrappers under the blankets so my kids would not hear it.
Jail
Every now and then a kid comes up with a plan that they think is brilliant and punishing for the parent. They have no idea that most of the times that this brilliant plan, like this one, is just what the parent needed.
Brownies for Breakfast
As parents, we tend to turn into hypocrites, especially when it comes to mealtime. We spend so much time making sure that our children are eating right that we forget that we should as well. Brownies for breakfast are a common thing in many households.
Stay In School
Yes, kids, please stay in school. As a matter of fact, if all schools could turn into year-round schools, that would be great. With Summer break encroaching, most of us parents can relate to this post.
No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed
This song perfectly sums up parenthood. Kids will push their limits in every way possible. No matter how strong you think your boundaries are, they will find a way to fight against them.
Poor Mama Bear
This is just life as a mother in a nutshell. The kids' meals are prepared first so they have time to cool down a bit before they eat. Then, Dad gets his next. Mom gets hers prepared but does not get a chance to eat until everyone else is served and the kitchen is cleaned up some.
Gone Fishing
It really is funny when kids can't say certain words properly. It is even funnier when the word comes out sounding like a cuss word. Of course, when it is said in public, it can be quite embarrassing, but it makes for a great story when they are all grown up.
Locked Out?
We think she should probably worry about the one who showed her how to pick the lock. Kids like that tend to snoop and are sneaky. It could be a sign that they will live a life of crime. However, we are not saying that she should not be concerned about the one who locked her in the room. He could be a little psychopath in the making.
Mom Understands
Some might think that moms cannot relate to the troubles of the baby, but we can. We really, really can. Just like this mom, we know how sad it can be when the bottle is empty. We feel your pain, little buddy.
