A Day in the Life of a Busy Mom as Told Through Memes

They say that motherhood is one of the most beautiful experiences a woman could have. And yeah, it is. But some days seem a lot less like a serene journey of nurturing and more like a comedy sketch. A typical day in the life of a mother is a mix of heartwarming moments, minor disasters, and intense multitasking.

From a bleary-eyed morning rush juggling packing lunches with convincing a toddler to wear literally any shoes at all, to the mid-afternoon chaos of crumbs, tantrums, and suspiciously sticky surfaces, to the quiet moment you finally collapse on the couch, motherhood barely gives a woman a second to breathe. There isn't a parenting podcast or motherhood manual in existence that could possible prepare you for everything. But memes? Memes get it. Especially when they're made by the hilarious moms of the internet.

Whether you need a laugh during one of your few quiet moments or just some reassurance that you're not the only modern mom that's okay with screen time, scroll on down for a collection of memes that capture the wonderously messy day in the life of a mom.

Reminding your kids about all the special words they can only use at home

via @spicydisasterma
This was exactly the way my parents raised me! They let me say whatever I wanted at home so long as it wasn't directed at them or another living thing. It probably depends on the kid, but it certainly demystified the whole thing for me.

No one perceive me, please

Skipping the hassle of cooking sounds nice, until you’re juggling cranky, starving kids in public.
