Parenting can be quite the experience. For the most part, it brings pure, unbridled joy. But there are those moments when being a mom or dad brings out the sarcastic person from within.

These social media posts from the Sarcastic Mommy Instagram page show the best of both worlds. Some are about adorably funny parts about raising children, while others are subtle expressions of the occasional exhaustion and mild frustration.

Check out our top picks from the page. If you’re a parent, see which ones are most relatable.

    The page’s creator, Lisa Munn, created Sarcastic Mommy to document the funny moments while raising her four boys. As she told Bored Panda in a 2024 interview, she used the platform as an “escape” and to “decompress.”

    Knowing that her social media acquaintances have also shared their experiences, Munn continued to post content until the account grew into what it is currently. The Instagram page has 573,000 followers and counting.

    Our oldest was just totally oblivious to stuff going on around him. You couldn't leave him home alone because he'd be reading or on the computer and never notice the house on fire. His 2 years younger brother was the exact opposite. Always aware, very responsible, could handle life well ahead of his years.

    As you’ll read from these posts, parenting has its draining moments. Moms, in particular, may experience periods of burnout, which experts refer to as Depleted Mother Syndrome (DMS).

    ADVERTISEMENT

    As the name suggests, it happens when a mother gets physically, emotionally, and mentally drained from the demands of her role. According to Parents.com, DMS may manifest in the form of chronic fatigue, appetite changes, and overwhelming guilt, to name a few.

    While DMS isn’t an official medical diagnosis, it gained traction on social media as a fitting description for the burnout women experience as parents. As Cleveland Clinic Director of Behavioral Medicine Dr. Amy Sullivan, PsyD, explains, moms experience higher levels of stress and anxiety compared to their husbands.

    “All that juggling and those mental exercises — and the guilt from not doing it perfectly — results in women experiencing burnout more often than men,” Dr. Sullivan stated.

    My hubby thinks that leaving the recycling in the hallway is the same as putting it in the bins outside. Like it is somehow going to hop out of the door and into the bins all by itself. I had to smile a few days ago though when I was telling our kids off for leaving the place a mess. I must have been assertive because even though I wasn't addressing him, he got up and tidied away some of his own stuff.

    I would treat him like the 5-year-old he's acting like. I'd get out a piece of colorful posterboard and we'd sit down together and draw up a chores chart, and when he was a good boy, I'd let him put gold stars in the right squares. Bonus points: I'd keep it out so friends, relatives, visitors, repair techs, anyone coming to the house would see it.

    Along with Depleted Mom Syndrome is mom guilt, where mothers experience feelings of inadequacy and think that they have failed as parents because of unmet expectations. According to Dr. Sullivan, moms should drop the “Superwoman” label and recognize their strengths apart from their weaknesses.

    “You’re spectacular in some areas of life, but accept that other areas are a work in progress — just like all of us.”

    Dr. Sullivan adds that combating DMS and burnout is about recognizing them. The next step is to learn to live with the idea that things won’t be perfect.

    Many of these moms are likely doing this through these posts–learning to poke fun at these imperfections through sarcastic quips. If you do it right, they will come off as funny and lighthearted.

    The worst part I find is needing to get up to pee in the middle of the night: finally managed to warm up a little, now you have to untangle yourself from your sleeping bag, get up, put on your wellies, stumble around in the dark, probably get half of your clothes wet as you’re squatting down to pee, stumble back to the tent, take off your wellies, get back into your sleeping bag, be freezing cold, 3 hours later you’ve finally managed to warm up a little, and repeat. I really don’t see what the appeal of that is.

So many women I know hated it.. still had to prepare dinner for kids etc but had to do with useless amenities. and buckets of water to shower kids hair. Buckets to wash dishes and bathing suits/ Clothes. Most def not a holiday.

    After working nights for 7.5 years i had to reset my circadian rhythm. I had 3 alarms. The first was the Big Ben classic wind up with external bells and hammer, almost always slept through it (about 90%). The second was a digital radio alarm clock, usually slept through that as well (about 70%). The third was a stereo set to high volume. that one almost always worked but if it didn't one of my roommates would come in and yanks me out of bed which did the trick.

    Self Check Out in supermarkets. My absolute nightmare nemesis. First it doesn't allow me to put my bags in the "end area", then it complains that I didn't put the the scanned item in the "end area" (because I already put it in the bag, which is on the floor because I wasn't allowed to put it in the "end area"... 🙄) then afterwards I have 20 items almost falling down from the "end area" to stuff in my bags while being admonished "please put away your items". It drives me nuts. I gladly wait for human-being-manned checkouts instead of crying or cursing at a machine. I'm too old for this s**t. I bag my stuff as soon as it is scanned.

    Sprinkles are also called "hundreds and thousands" in the UK. If that doesn't help, they're tiny colorful balls or small bits of frosting-like sugar you often see on doughnuts. They come in small jars with holes in the top so you can shake them out onto the item you want to put them on. (A lid also covers this.)

Went to grab one for making the grocery left and 0 left. Walked down to the shop to pick up another pack...no biggie. Hubs gets home from work and I asked about the pens....they were all in his rucksack. I now have a box hidden in my sock drawer.

    When I was a kid, my dad would watch me or my brother playing games. We'd ask if he wanted to play, and he would just say he was watching for tips & tricks. This past weekend, I caught myself doing the same thing with my son. It was then I realized, it was not for the tips or tricks, but just to spend time with us, no matter how quiet he was.

    My grandson, who is 6, soon to be 7, does this. I don't get the appeal of watching other people play video games. It got so bad with him his Mom had to limit his YouTube time.
