Being a mom certainly has its ups and downs. The whole experience is like a very long and unending roller coaster that literally lasts a lifetime. No parenting book, podcast, or Instagram account could possibly prepare a parents for the life-long journey. You might be able to glean a few tips for how to get your toddler to actually eat something other than grapes and Goldfish crackers from a mommy influencer. And sure, you might know how to handle your teen's raging hormones after leafing through a parenting book. 

However, you are still a mom even after your kid leaves the house for college at 18. You're also a mom when they get fired from their first job at 23, when they fall in love at 28, when they have their first kid at 31, when they have a mid-life crisis at 50, and when they pay off their mortgage at 65. If you're completely strapped in to experience all the trials and tribulations of motherhood, scroll down for memes curated just for you!

    Jess Carpenter @JessCarpWrites Moms really be like "should I clean up the toys, do dishes, fold laundry, scroll social media, vacuum, clean the toilets, catch up on 10 years of shows, eat a snack, exercise, work, spend quality time with my husband, or shower" whenever we get 5 min of free time.
