Being a mom is not all sunshine and rainbows. Of course, we like to pretend that motherhood is nothing but warmth and tears of joy, but the reality is something else. These mothers came candid on Twitter, shedding light on the truth about the life of a mother with their honest tweets.

Motherhood brings in a wave of emotions. Not all of them are positive. However, love wins.

Being a mother is pretty much a struggle for basic needs like sleep and rest when you are not overwhelmed by joy.

Moms and the to-do list that goes on to infinity and beyond.

Moms develop certain conditions during pregnancy. Loss of hearing is just one of them, for the sake of sanity.
9. Holding On

Because bathroom breaks are not part of the job.

Kids feel more comfortable going to the mother, most of the time. Which means don’t be surprised if you haven’t bathed in days.
11. Home Alone

Kids have a way of causing a ruckus out of thin air while at home. It is OK to crave for some downtime away from that.

If it’s about hot chocolate, a lie couldn’t hurt.
13. The Sooner, The Better

Can’t we just get it over with and go home? No matter how fun the party is, there is only so much an adult can enjoy a Frozen themed party.
14. #MomLies

We all preach things that we can’t always follow. It turns out, moms are leading the way.
15. Carpet Woes

Kids go to their mommies for everything. They are especially more clingy when they are not well.
16. The Usual Self

Moms are perpetually sleep-deprived, tired, and blame the world for everything wrong. Don’t hold that against them. They mean well.
17. Mom Schedule

Some moms are of the opinion that after your kid is born, the one thing you constantly crave for is some quiet time to yourself.
18. It’s 9 AM!

Hold your judgments. It’s difficult to juggle kids and household duties, stay awake, and stay sober.
19. Fairy Tale Life

Perhaps the only thing funnier than mom’s sense of humor is the incredibly busy lives they live.
20. Sleepless

Maybe a tad less romantic than Sleepless in Seattle, but mom life is a night without sleep on repeat mode.
21. Welcome To The Club

If so many women came forward to corroborate the story, then we better believe it.

The repetitive, tiring life of moms needs no introduction. After a while, you have the names of all the Disney princesses by heart.
Maybe the next time you come across a pregnant woman, wish her good luck for what is coming. Nonetheless, motherhood is precious. It redefines you as a woman and gives you perspective about life. It requires amazing strength to stay calm and be patient to little kids. How well these moms are doing as parents and as individuals is a testimonial to the power of mothers.
