30 Things That A Lot Of Moms Have In Common And People On Twitter Can’t Understand How It Works

We ain't got time for ourselves.

Always just one more thing to do. I remember rushing around, tiding up, grabbing things as I went, have to pee, better grab a few things to put away , ack..wipe the counter first, phone rang, oven beeped, rushed to the bathroom, slipped on the bathmat , peed myself and on the bathmat. Life as mom.

I’ve decided as a mum that it’s better for everyone if I look after myself too.

If we actually do, then we're selfish people and hate our children /s

Because woman are socially groomed to put everyone's needs above our own. And if we don't do it, do the dishes do laundry and fix the food, no one will

The anxiety. Will she make it back before you get to the register? Won't She? Sh*t we are getting close... Where tf is she?!

Are we getting things for ourselves or are the gummies that you love the best are on sale and it caught my eye when we were headed for the checkout ?Hold our fracking place will you please ..promise I wont make you pay cause you have NO money other than mine anyway.

When this happens I breathe strangely 👍

It's a rite of passage into adulthood, when you have kids of your own you'll understand :D

I also do this to my husband. I wasn't even out of view and he got the cashier to page me. Funny guy.

LOL My mom wants total control. She'll be like "I can swipe through the pictures. You don't have to do it for me." As if I'm the one treating her like a toddler. Then she gets angry because she ends up doing something to mess up the pictures and can't figure out how to stop it. I don't let anyone touch my phone anymore.

I don't do this

That is why you EMAIL your mom JUST the photo you want her to see!

It's my friends who do this!!! I've learned to hold on to my phone abs let them look at the picture I am sharing then when they reach to slide over to other ones I just pull it quickly away. Whether there are pictures I don't care to share or not I get totally upset when they have done this. I find being in control is good for my mental health.

Well what else do you have on your camera roll? Hundreds of d**k pics? No? Usually just dodgy selfies.

They've seen it all. Nothing phases them

My mom would tell us the most messed up stories when the electricity went out. Like the time the Chicago mob would drop off headless bodies in the cornfields in my area. Aunt so-so stumbled across one once when taking a short cut. They'd toss the head somewhere else. They knew the local police were super lazy and terrible at their job. The mob may be gone, the local police are the same.

OMG. This. About being moms. When I got pregnant, every single mother I talked to would tell me THE WORST horror stories about traumatic things that happened during pregnancy, while giving birth, while infants, while toddlers... My son turned 13 last year, and I'm still hearing stories about how terrible he will be as a teenager. Why do they do this?!

In my mum's case I'd say it's the ADHD!

I've seen my mom's mouth literally curl up when I was crying, as if she was really enjoying seeing me suffer. Super creepy.

Honestly, I wouldn't cry if I heard my mom's voice. I'd scream like a toddler (mom passed in 2003)

This is not relatable or a norm

See my trait is I could be fine but my resting face naturally looks super upset and on the verge of tears so she asks "are u okay" and I have this bad trait whenever someone asks that, soesnt matter how happy or sad I am, I always start crying

Maybe for the same reason I always cried in the principal's office

In her defense that does sound, well, nice : D

Not me or my mum.

I think it's because we spend half our lives busy having to answer messages short like that so not to leave people without response that we just get used to it.

Not my mom. I would get every confetti emoji and happy face in the Unicode set. Three times. And then she'd call and want to hear all the details. And then we'd talk for hours about what we're going to do in Italy. And then, she'd call me every day for the next week about the cute lemon dresses she's making for the trip, and did I want a skirt from the same fabric?

Mine would just say "k"

My mom JUST gave me a lecture on how dark mode and low brightness would ruin my eyes XD

Because many moms are old and their eyes are tired

Cause we’re old and we can’t see

Mine is always low and with an eye comfort shield

Because our older eyes can see things better when they are well lit.

Do you know how much knowledge you can get from background of a photo?

That's how she got me smoking. In the background, my bag and 1/10th of a cigarette pack showing... I didn't even know my bag was seen on photo let alone pack ..

Do they have snipers in the Central Intelligence Agency ?

Just to mess with your mind....we know we have to provide for you but we want you to know that we are sacrificing our beings for you dammit! 😁

Well when does she say that? Was it when you groaned and acted like emptying the dishwasher was a certifiable act of torture? When you wouldn't take out the trash? When she tried to teach you some basic cooking techniques so you could cook for yourself when needed? Need more context.

They don't say thsi, yours does.
