I'm one of 8 children. If my mother wanted one of us she would start calling out names, even though the person she wanted was usually in front of her. She would look at them and say, "You know I'm talking to you."
A big family sounds wonderful, but I could not fathom having 8 children. Your mom must've had a whole additional set of superpowers for that! And with 8 kids, she's definitely allowed to mix up the name haha
Guilty on most counts! I didn’t poop during delivery, but do I get points for barfing on my idiot ex-husband? Alas, now that I’m old, I can’t monkey foot anymore. These are all hilarious and 100% accurate! ☺️❤️
Ohh yeah, I remember all of these skills, passed down from generations of Mom's. Thanks for reminding me, Good Fun. Thanks Robin, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
I’ve been volunteering as a teacher’s helper at my pottery studio. I help out with a class of 10 2nd-5th graders for 2 hours once a week. And I think these kids are funny, sweet, and lovely but OMG THEY ARE SO LOUD. And after every class I’m happy with my decision to not have any of my own. HA!
Yes--sooo loud! I went to a school with Cora for her therapy dog thing last week. I hadn't been to a school in forever. I couldn't believe how loud it was there.
Reading this list and realizing moms basically run a 24/7 emergency response unit powered entirely by cold coffee, half-eaten Cheerios, and supernatural patience.
This is wonderful, hilarious, and spot on! I’m not a mom, but I have closely observed a few. Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not a mom, because there’s no way I could possibly do all this (for one thing, I can’t multitask worth beans).
I'm not a mom either, but know lots, cuz everyone knows lots hehe. I'm with you, I couldn't do it. Or at least not without taking up cocaine or something.
Middle Child was complaining the other day, because as far as he could tell, there was no food in the house and he was RAVENOUS... I was surprised (not that he was complaining, that's standard, or because he was RAVENOUS, also standard!) but because I knew there was in fact enough food to make at least 2 family dinners. This got me thinking that he must think I'm a sorceress because clearly I can make meals from nothing. This had, in fact, not occurred to him. If anything, he was inclined to believe I'd lost my magic touch, having failed to keep the fridge properly stocked up. I needed to up my magic several notches.
LOVE. Would it be overreach if I sent this to my adult sons and demanded that they read it in front of me?
😆 Not at all.
Love the raw potato midnight snack. Dang why didn’t I think of that! Every Mom Matters
The raw potato bed trick does not work. I can personally confirm this 😆
Double dang😉

I only have 1 child, but I have 5 cats. I tend to mix of their names a lot. Now I know what my mother went through.

Haha, you definitely get points for that.
As a midwife: you may barf on anyone you like, just aim AWAY from your midwife.
😆
Perfectly happy to live my life without the activation of that particular gene, tyvm. 😊
Same here girl. But I'm glad my mom did hehe.
Still have it with our pets too 🙂

That was some funny shit made my day.
Thanks Chris, I'm glad you got a good giggle :)
Thanks for the laughs with my ☕☕☕this morning! It's all so true 😁😅
No hCG for me ! When they cut the cord, it's over. Being a mother is way too much work with little thanks but we are awesome !
Being a mom is definitely way too much work. I didn't do it, but ooph, I'm glad my mom had all these superpowers.
You've got her DNA/ RNA and most likely her sense of humor ! Super Powers !!!
Spot on Robin. True & hilarious. These superpowers don’t go away. They’re used on grandkids too. 🩷
Ooh yes, transferable to grandkids, although the toughness seems to fade significantly hehe
Lovely stuff. Please rewrite my CV for me.
😆😆 You don't want that, not if you want a job anyway haha
I don't really - finally come tae terms with being retired from everything except grown-up, grandchildren & 🐈 parenting.
Ye could help with my 🪦 though.
All I've come up with is Are Ye Sure? and I'm Not That Bothered on my OH''s.

😆 You are a sorceress, a real, magical Chef Momardee. You can turn ingredients into food abracadabra!
Haha your post really nailed it 'Everyone knows mothers can see dirt', yup. 😆
