If ever there were to be a weekly day to celebrate the marvellous mothers in our lives, then Sunday has to be it. After a long week of taking care of literally every human, animal and plant in the house and keeping them all alive, well-fed and taken care of, it is only fair that on Sunday our magical mothers get to put their feet up and take a breather from what is one of the toughest jobs in the world.

So today, we take a moment to celebrate our magnificent moms with a visit to the Mom Meme Appreciation Society. A society built on the foundations of appreciating mom memes and the forehead smacking, OMG-inducing, irony filled events that the moms of the internet regale us with. So if you are a mom, tell the kids to clean the bathroom while you kick back and chill to the sounds of complete and utter chaos. If you aren't a mom, then go get your mom, and let her chill out with this listicle while you go make her a cup of tea.
