22 Witty Motherhood Memes for Dark-Humored Moms Barely Holding It Together

Homemade glitter-slime in the kitchen, toys on the floor, and macaroni art on the wall–is this how the chic younger you pictured your future home? Probably not, but hardworking moms wouldn't have it any other way. Although our little herem of gremlins has caused a few premature gray hairs to form, it's the smaller, more beautiful moments that make motherhood worthwhile. When your kid walks for the first time or tells you they love you, a swelling sensation forms in your heart that's more delightful than any words can describe–or is that hypertension kicking in from all the bedtime tantrums, sleepless nights, and kiddie playdates you've endured over the years? 

Motherhood is a double-edged sword of immense joy and enduring fatigue. While we suffer from heartburn worrying all the time about our kiddo's future, our heart simultaneously burns with unconditional love and pride. So even when moms are at their wits end with their mother-in-law reminding them to put socks on their baby, or if the PTO meetings are getting a little out of hand, remember that the greatest joys of being a mom don't revolve around other people: It's just between you and your precious lil' kid.
