Moms certainly do not get enough credit for all of the work that they put into raising tiny humans into fully-funcitoning adults. Sure, there tend to be giant bumps along the way, but any and all efforts should be commended. At least we have Mother's Day as a way to show appreciation for the women that raised us. Even still, plenty of people forget all about it. Even worse, some remember and barely make an effort towards showing the moms in their life any love. 

While moms across the globe would appreciate having some tasks checked off their to-do list on Mother's Day, dinner, and a massage, many women simply got cards while still being expected to carry the weight of their entire family. But don't worry, momma. We see you! If you're in need of a laugh, scroll down for some hilarious memes and Tweets by parents that know the trials and tribulations of child rearing all too intimately!

    Brianne M. Kohl @BrianneKohl My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion. ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.

    Laura Marie @lmegordon The people at the doctor's office just tried to reassure me that my son isn't the worst kid they've ever seen by telling me a story about the time a kid yanked a banner down from the ceiling. What they didn't realize was it was a story about my kid.
