Nobody said being a mom would be easy. But as soon as you become one, you realize how much time, energy, sacrifice, commitment, and patience it requires for something that yields little outside reward. Add the societal pressure to be not just a mom but a perfect one, and it becomes too much.

No wonder parenting-related memes are on the rise in times of the post-pandemic world, where parents, educators, and entire households have faced unprecedented challenges in leading their lives as normally as possible. From dad jokes to mom memes, it’s a whole new form of absurd comedy that points out the reality of parenthood and wraps it in the internet’s language.

Just like this Neat Mom Instagram account, which is home to a whopping 1.1M followers who chuckle over “moms will get it”-type content. Below, we selected some of the funniest, so scroll down and upvote your favorite ones as you go!

    Look at the admiration on their little faces. The ultimate coolness level a parent can achieve.

    Fantastic idea! I'm so fed up with having to choose (no idea how that fell to me!) and then being told 'don't fancy it'. Argh!

    Getting ready for bed wakes you up! Particularly that flipping minty fresh toothpaste malarkey. Why has no one come up with flavours that will promote sleep? Chamomile toothpaste or something?!

    LOL when I worked in home care I took care of a 96 year old. I would go in in the morning and say " how are you today?" Her answer was always a snarling " how do you think I am? I woke up AGAIN!" I never really understood until I hit 65. Sigh

    Imagine if field trips were a thing for employees. No, not a team building activity. Just a field trip where you take a day off work and learn how a medieval farm was run.

    It’s cute but cats don’t work that way. It can take weeks for a cat to take to a new environment and feel safe. And that’s with their family not with complete strangers.

    Aw, bet that was a fantastic laugh! I grew up on a farm and my dad would put us on the back of an old trailer, pulled by a tractor, and drive around the bumpiest fields with deep ruts in them. We would be jolted and thrown about and had to hang on for dear life! Dangerous? Yep! Fun? So much fun! We would be shrieking with laughter. If I had kids I wouldn't do it in a million years!!

    I remember 1 year my grandkids had been complaining that my pancakes were bad because I didn't have a non stick frying pan but I couldn't afford to buy one. 2 weeks later I got one from my daughter lol. Her boys had told her I needed a new frying pan. Last Christmas I'd told my daughter not to buy me anything as I knew she didn't have much money to buy gifts because of being on maternity leave. Imagine my surprise when she gave me a an electric heating blanket because she knew I couldn't afford to have the heating on.

    Oh historians will absolutely study our social media. It gets worse. Technology in the future will easily be able to crack all your passwords and access your most private documents and images. They'll use AI bots to make connections between all the public and private things you did online, so nothing will be anonymous. Search histories, text and messaging app histories, and so on, it could all be public.
