This collection of all-too-real mom memes hilariously captures the reality of motherhood.

Is there any better fodder for humor than motherhood? Nope.

One of the perks of having kids is getting to join the Mom Solidarity Club, where all we do is laugh maniacally in the face of sleep deprivation, diaper blowouts, and kids building booger forests on their bedroom walls.

Your toddler asked for the blue cup and then cried because you gave him the blue cup? HA!

Your kid can't seem to find the trash can that sits six inches from where they always leave their wrappers on the counter? HAHA!

You got woken up by a hungry baby at 1:00am, by a kid with a nightmare at 2:30am, and then by another kid at 3:45am because they wet the bed? BWAAHAAHA! WAAAAAAAAHHAAAHAAAA!

(There's a fine line between laughing and crying as a mom. You learn to roll with it.)

These mom memes have been shared more than 175,000 times because they are just. too. real.

Emma Bea shared a perfectly curated collection of mom memes on Facebook, and moms are sharing them left and right. There are loads of memes out there, of course, but rarely do we see so many that so perfectly capture the reality of motherhood all in one place.

For example, the universal truth that having kids means you'll won't be able to pee in peace for years.

How about when you decide you're a hairdresser because even though you have no hair cutting training, you also have no money?

Oh, you want to have a lengthy, meaningful phone conversation? Gonna have to wait til graduation, Janice.

But seriously, who invented onesies for squirrelly toddlers? BEND THE KNEE. No, the ANKLE. No, the OTHER WAY. GAAHHHH.

That toddler blue cup thing I mentioned? Oh, it's real.

Shared via Emma Bea. Creator unknown.

Uncanny, right? It's like someone has put a secret camera in our homes and captured all of our daily parenting challenges.

Oh, and there's more.

Awwww, baby fell asleep on your chest? Now you're stuck there for two hours unless you have the smooth dexterity of a bomb technician and the stealth powers of a ninja.

And after the five dozenth meal our kids refuse to eat, don't we all turn into The Beast?

Shared via Emma Bea. Creator unknown.

They won't eat their food. They never seem to hear you when you call them. But as soon as you start to open a candy wrapper anywhere in the house, they suddenly have bionic hearing and insatiable appetites.

Me, on the car ride home: "STAY AWAKE, KIDDO! NO, DON'T FALL ASLEEP!!! LA LA LA LA LA!!!" *Rolls down all the car windows.* *Throws things into backseat.* *Squirts kid in face with water bottle.*

Kiddo: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Sometimes there might be just a teensy bit of petty in our parenting game. It's called karma, kiddo.

What? I have no idea what happened to your super annoying, make-me-want-to-poke-my-ears-out toys, darling.

Let's talk about how things that were so simple before kids suddenly became colossal feats after kids.

Like, say, leaving the house alone. Never underestimate the glorious liberation of a mother going to the store without her children. It's practically a spiritual experience.

Same goes for the elusive shower where no children come knocking on the door because they want a snack or their brother pushed them or they need to poop.

Shared via Emma Bea. Creator unknown.

Before you have kids, holding someone's hand was such a basic concept. Like, why is this so hard?

Shared via Emma Bea. Creator unknown.

Or, you know, sleep. One of the most fundamental human needs, which you will never ever take for granted again.

Shared via Emma Bea. Creator unknown.

And for those who suggest that you get more sleep by cosleeping? Yeah. Been there done that.

Wasn't that good fun? Thank goodness for mom humor. On some days, it's the truly only thing that keeps us from losing our everlovin' minds.

Family brings home the wrong dog from daycare until their cats saved the day

A quick trip to the vet confirmed the cats' and family's suspicions.

Family accidentally brings wrong dog home but their cats knew

It's not a secret that nearly all golden retrievers are identical. Honestly, magic has to be involved for owners to know which one belongs to them when more than one golden retriever is around. Seriously, how do they all seem have the same face? It's like someone fell asleep on the copy machine when they were being created.

Outside of collars, harnesses and bandanas, immediately identifying the dog that belongs to you has to be a secret skill because at first glance, their personalities are also super similar. That's why it's not surprising when one family dropped off their sweet golden pooch at daycare and to be groomed, they didn't notice the daycare sent out the wrong dog.

See, not even their human parents can tell them apart because when the swapped dog got home, nothing seemed odd to the owners at first. She was freshly groomed so any small differences were quickly brushed off. But this accidental doppelgänger wasn't fooling her feline siblings.

People are raving about how much easier it is to read with 'bionic reading' font

This viral tool could be a game-changer for some.

The 'bionic reading' font is designed to help keep you focused and read faster.

Reading is a fundamental tool of learning for most people, which is why it's one of the first things kids learn in school and why nations set literacy goals.

But even those of us who are able to read fluently might sometimes struggle with the act of reading itself. Perhaps we don't read as quickly as we wish we could or maybe our minds wander as our eyes move across the words. Sometimes we get to the end of a paragraph and realize we didn't retain anything we just read.

People with focus or attention issues can struggle with reading, despite having no actual reading disabilities. It can be extremely frustrating to want to read something and have no issues with understanding the material, yet be unable to keep your mind engaged with the text long enough to get "into" what you're reading.

Woman 'kidnaps' her baby to teach lazy husband a scary lesson

Did she go too far?

A guy passes out on his bed eating pizza.

A 29-year-old woman had a baby girl, and after a brief maternity leave, she had to return to work. She couldn't afford childcare, so her husband, 35, reluctantly agreed to watch the baby while she was at work.

“It’s important to know that he’s been unemployed since 2021,” the woman wrote on Reddit’s AITA subforum. “He receives benefits. It’s also important to know that he’s extremely lazy. He doesn’t cook, clean, or help out in any way. I was nervous about leaving her home with her father, but I had no choice.”

The mother had reason to be worried about leaving her baby home alone with her husband, but in the beginning, things seemed fine. “When I came back from work, she was clean and sleeping. The next few times I came home, he was either playing with her, feeding her, or out for a walk with her. I was happy,” she wrote.

Only child asks her friends what it's like to grow up with siblings. They showed her instead.

"She got an entire childhood in less than a minute."

Only child asks her friends what it's like to grow up with siblings.

Ahhh, siblings. Sometimes they're your best friends and other times your living room turns into an MMA octagon over the remote control. If you grew up with brothers and sisters, it's hard to imagine what it would be like to be an only child. (That's not to say you didn't dream about it when your sister stole your favorite shirt for the 30th time.)

But not everyone has siblings, so it can be equally as hard for someone who grew up as an only child to picture what it would be like to have them. Only children also likely had moments where they dreamt of having a little brother or sister, not realizing the literal torment siblings can inflict on each other.

TikTok creator Lonnie IIV recently posted a video of himself with two other friends seemingly out to lunch, when the girl in the group asked what it was like to grow up with siblings. In less than a minute she realized she lucked out being an only child because her two guy friends gave her a crash course in sibling behavior.
