We are all familiar with the struggles and challenges of motherhood. From diaper duties to sleepless nights, you are robbed of free time and your life. Your priority becomes your kids, and you cannot help but tend to every one of their needs. It’s tough, but every mother is in the same boat and shares several moments that are relatable. Motherhood is an experience of a lifetime, and you get to build your rapport with your kids in any which way you please. While some moments make you feel like you want to rip all your hair out with your bare hands, others are so fulfilling and heartwarming that you cannot imagine a life without your kids. Those are the moments that you live for that make every other moment of struggle worth it.
But there are a few experiences that are specific to moms, and they own it hilariously. They don’t care about anything and find humor in the toughest of situations too. If you’re a mom, you know exactly what we are talking about. You don’t see the need to hide your truth and share it with pride and humor. Here is a list of a few moms who share their motherhood experience on Twitter and keep it way too real! We are sure it will crack you up:
