Nobody ever said that being the best mom ever is easy. Yet until you actually become one yourself, it's hard to appreciate the emotional rollercoaster that is raising kids. As well as the joys of creating and nurturing a tiny human being and watching their personality blossom, there are the inevitable stresses and mental breakdowns that come along with being a mom. From trying to get the dear child to sleep and eat properly, to the tantrums, issues at school, a vast amount of parenting tips, and juggling extra-curricular activities, there are bound to be times when you wish you can just run away from it all!
Of course though, in reality, that's the last thing you want to happen when parenting. A little comic relief from funny memes, along with the knowledge that you are not alone, can be all that's needed to get you back up and ready to be a supermom once again. And that's where we here at Bored Panda come in. We have collected a list of relatable mom memes to put a smile back on your face, and have you nodding along in weary, but amused appreciation! Scroll down below to check the best memes out for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your favorite parenting memes!

Hold My Hand, Please
When my daughter was 2, she refused to hold my hand when crossing the street. Then we saw a baby squirrel that hadn't made it all the way and was sadly flattened in the middle of the road. She asked what happened and I replied "He didn't hold his mommy's hand when crossing" - worked like a charm for the next few years! There was never a fuss about holding hands.

I love her outfit. I think people walking around in mossy oak actually look way worse than she ever will in this outfit. At least its unique which is more than most people can say for their own line of thinking alone.
This is my original content that I posted on @HumanitarianMom over 8 months ago after the show. If you go to my Instagram page and click tagged photos you can see how many large accounts reposted my meme and GAVE ME CREDIT. This is BLANTANT PLAGERISM. Take down my content immediately. You guys should absolutely know better considering what a large platform you have. Take it down now. You did this intentionally and it’s horrible.
Now that's funny! And puts all that "dressing up" into it's ridiculous perspective!
Usher: Yes sir. What seems to be the problem. Man: I've tried to ask the flying nun in front of me to remove her hat so I can see, but she refuses.
Moms come in all shapes and sizes, some trendy, some not. This kid needs a good mom, not a good looking mom.

Parents:*Moan and whinge about how having kids ruined their social life, sleep schedule & just about everything else* Me:"Nah kids aren't for me" Parents & judgemental a******s:"WHATTTTTTTTT!!1!!!!!111!! KIDS ARE THE BEST"
A friend of mine says: "Children are the best and the worst we have in our lives." I love my daughter, she is, under a general view, a perfect child. Since newborn she always slept at least 6hours straight, is rarely sick, eats everything we put on her front, likes fish and salad/vegetables, I can count with one hand her child tantrums and she made only 2 in public (now at 14y we have arguments often, but are usually negociated, some days she ends upset but accepts my demands, others I have to give up some minor rules and trust her jugdement), is a great student, well behaved, helps random people she sees in need, and receives appraisal from her teachers and people around. When people ask me why didn't I had a second child, I always say: "Look at my daughter. I'm a spoiled mom. I'm afraid a second may come as "standard" or worst, and I'll regret my decision hundreds of times." I'm a lucky momma, but I completely understand people who don't want children, and that must be respected!

I refuse to have children simply because of most of these things. I don’t think I could be a good mother with all of these things on my plate, stressing me out more than I already am. Children are a lot of work, and I’m definitely not going to put that burden on myself.
I have 2 nieces and a nephew. I love them and I’ll take them to the zoo or whatever but after 1 day (or even several hours) I’m exhausted and glad I can just drop em off at my brothers when we get home. They always say it’s different with your own kids but no thanks. Too much work and stress. Not going to put that burden on myself either.

Oh hell no. Never wanted kids and thank God I never had them. But I'd like to tip my hat and give a shout out to everyone that has kids including my mom who had me. It is not an easy job as you can see. And I have nothing but respect for parents. But I thank God I never had any.
Don't know why you got downvoted. It's great when someone knows what to want/not want in life! Lots of my friends are happy without kids.

Totally agree Reilly Beryll and wusah. I made the cjoice never to have kids and I have never regretted it. You have to be aware of your limitations
Agreed. Parenting/reproducing is not for everyone. It is OKAY to never have kids, particularly by choice. It is past time to remove the stigma against childfree people.

That moment when you realize that you're eleven but you also love parenting memes....
The biggest lesson children teach is patience and how to not be selfish. My grandpa told me when I was 15 it’s in the tone of your voice when you talk to children. He was right you never have to yell they get that it’s serious just by how you say it. Having a family that you raise with love and respect is one of life’s greatest rewards we can have. Enjoy the journey as it goes so fast and before you know it they are off on their own adventures.
It doesn’t matter how much sleep you lose, how much food you find in your hair, how many times you locked yourself in the bathroom, how many events you had to turn down, etc..... I’f given the opportunity to “give the child back” not one mom I know would trade all the bad for not having one! They definitely change your life! And one kiss and giggle erases all the things we b***h about :)
I'm infertile and can't have kids. People have still mithered me in the past about when would I start a family etc. Now I'm 64 I think it's as well that I didn't as I don't think I'd have been a good mother at the right time. I was very like my own mother - who always let me know that a daughter was the worst thing that could ever happen to a woman.
I'm so sorry your mother made you feel that way. :'( I hope you have had a happy and fulfilled life in spite of her lack of support for you.

Laughing because I just watched my 23 month old grandson and 2 month old granddaughter for 6 days and managed to keep them alive!
Just baby sat my 23 month old grandson and 2 month old granddaughter for 6 days. I can relate to some of these memes. I am exhausted. So glad I am Grandma and I can finally go home until the next time I am called for duty. I can truly say that I am glad I managed to keep them alive for that many days. I laugh because I had only one child, he is starting this kid thing late in his life at age 38, both mom and dad were home from work every evening and at age 67 I am too old for this!
I am a parent and know someone in my social circle who doesn't want to have children. Whenever she saw me struggle with my 3yo, I know for sure that she felt grateful in her heart that she made the decision. But never once she said something so cocky like she's very happy and satisfied to see parent suffer. She chose to stay quiet or say something to cheer me up. Besides, if someone describe parents as annoying people and kids are sucks, who doesn't get defend? There's happiness and lesson I've learn to be a better me by having one. Something that "these" people will call b******t. I know. This is something that maybe difficult to understand by nonparent so therefore better to be shared to other parents only. Don't get me wrong, I am not campaigning about people should have children because that is the right thing to do. Despite of my defend, I also support those who choose not to have children because they aware that they will have huge amount of distress and potentially will abuse
Or neglect the children if they have one. Let's just give each other empathy no matter what we choose.

I can’t relate to any of them but they are funny .. I just feel bad for moms who actually feel like this .. my daughter has always been perfect never a bother in any way to me .. she’s my best friend and yes we have an understanding that we are best friends but I am her mom, she never disrespects me I’m so lucky!
I’m so confused by a majority of these comments. IF YOU DO NOT WANT CHILDREN... then whyyyy are you reading this and whyyy are you commenting- this post isn’t for you!

Happy Mothers day Mom love you so much I know we have been through some hard times but being with you is the best time 💕💗
i love my mum dont get me wrong she is very nice but she sends me to bed at the STUPIDEST time ON A WEEKEND around 7-6PM on a weekend 6:56 PM on non weekends
Me and my siblings grew much closer to our mother than to our father so she really so attached to us and we grew as mama's boys and girl. One time there's been an argument between our father and his little brother(who also lives with us), I'm just watching since I'm such a wimpy person, our mom and my brother caught up in the discussion and things flare up, my brother unconsciously blurted out and answered back rudely. I have never seen her so shocked, angry, disappointed, hard feeling, weeping and so distressed all in the same time. She yelled that how dare him talked like that to her if he only know how hard to give birth and raise a child then they will just disrespect you after all the things they've been through. That hit me so hard that I broke their argument to calm everyone.
My grandfather told me when I was 15 children are a lesson in patience and it’s all in the town of your voice when you speak to them. He was right my three children are adults now I always say it goes really quickly, enjoy the journey love is grand
Well remember: you CHOSE to have children. Now you have the consequences of that choice: children and being a parent. Your fault for being fooled. #childfreeforlife
English most always uses gendered pronouns, so it depends on who made the meme. If the meme is the opposite gender of you but it applies to you then do a mental change to your personal pronouns and enjoy.
