“Moms Behaving Badly”: 50 Posts From This Hilarious Account About Moms, Wives And Women (New Pics)
Moms! Wives! Women! Listen up! This post is for and about you.
If you’re tired of constantly meeting certain expectations, having to put your best foot forward, or fitting into a certain frame, remember that moms, wives, and women, too, can behave badly; if even just a little bit. This daily reminder comes from the ‘Moms Behaving Badly’ Instagram account, which, in their own words, is “saying what you are thinking.” Scroll down to find some of its best posts on the list below and take comfort in the fact that whatever daily aggravations you’re dealing with, you’re likely not alone.
Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with a licensed clinical psychologist and the Program Coordinator for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at West Chester University, Dr. Lynn Zubernis, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the power of online communities.

Started nearly a decade ago, in 2017, the ‘Moms Behaving Badly’ Instagram account has grown into an extensive gallery of nearly 14,000 posts with over two million followers. Clearly, many people either enjoy the content very much or can relate to it. (Or both.)
Talking about how people benefit from groups they can feel a part of or relate to, a licensed clinical psychologist and the Program Coordinator for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at West Chester University, Dr. Lynn Zubernis noted that the benefits any homogeneous group can bring lies in the fact that we all feel more comfortable being open with others when we believe we'll be understood and validated.
Discussing the impact of such accounts as ‘Moms Behaving Badly’, Dr. Zubernis noted that women especially can benefit from the support that homogeneous groups tend to bring.
“Many women are reluctant to disclose their ‘real selves’ to others, fearing judgment or censure and accustomed to putting on a persona that's socially acceptable,” she told Bored Panda in a recent interview.
“Research shows a strong relationship between finding social support and a more positive sense of well-being – the benefits are stronger for women. Women tend to self disclose more in a group of other women, and female friendships in general tend to be higher in self disclosure and strongly relied on for social support.”

She's right. You should participate more in the meals. I'm sure she'll be glad to teach you.

Exactly and precisely correct. *Puts on glasses to read more BS from the new administration*
“A study of women in an online fan community found that they valued the nonjudgmental culture, having a place to discuss mental health related experiences, and believed that the group had a positive impact on their personal relationships and overall sense of wellbeing,” the expert added.

According to Dr. Zubernis, people can benefit not only from relating to other humans, but from relatable funny content online, too. “Seeking out relatable and amusing content is a form of leisure (something we engage in purposefully for fun as opposed to productivity). Leisure is good for us – it reduces stress, boosts creativity, stimulates our imagination, increases wellbeing, and connects us to others when we share the activity (including sharing funny memes). Laughter is also good for us, releasing endorphins which also help us manage stressors,” she explained.

It also is very hard to plan / figure out 90ish meals a month. It's exhausting and also a bit excessive. Skipping meals is an option for some of it, but still a bit much.

I went to bed around 7 last night. My partner asked , do you want pizza tonight? I said that's fine. Curled into a ball and woke up at 2am with a hungry cat. And pizza was never ordered either :(
While relatable content is arguably one of the main things that attracts people to follow certain accounts or join certain communities, there are more factors that make them appealing to internet users.
“They are easier to access than face-to-face communities for many people who don't have a schedule that allows them to meet up with neighbors at the corner tavern or join a local group of tennis players,” Dr. Zubernis noted.
“People who may be reluctant or feel they lack the social skills to enter face-to-face communities may find it easier to join online ones, with the benefit of some level of anonymity, if desired. Online communities are also not geographically limited – if you're looking for a group of like-minded people, you can find many of them if the community is a global one.”
According to Dr. Zubernis, enabling connectedness is not only one of the main benefits, but one of the main roles, too, that online communities play in society nowadays.
“They, in part, replace the face-to-face communities that were prevalent when families tended to live in the same geographical area, and neighbors knew each other well—gathering at local pubs, playing checkers, or forming local softball teams, among other things.
“Online communities provide the same sense of belongingness as face-to-face ones, providing a support system and sounding board for their members.”

It just recently dawned on me that the reason older folks eat so early is because if they eat later, they just have acid reflux all night.

Kids usually behave well when you are not around. It's when they get home and the devil that you know comes out.

One time my 2 year old nephew said "sh!t" when he dropped something. (He'd heard his mom say it when the cat ran out the door) We didn't know whether to be impressed with him for using it in the right context or worried that he's going to outsmart us all some day.

The hoodie I'm wearing right now says 'That's a terrible idea. What time?' and it's the same vibe as this picture.

I can't remember what I'm supposed to scream about, there's so much stuff, but I'd be happy to get food after.

Boys' arms and legs have to stay spaghetti-skinny and stretch out endlessly, and they have to always be tripping over their suddenly enlarged feet.

Someone's gonna pay big time for whatever he did. He probably doesn't know what either.

I always look deceptively cute in MY camera, then two seconds later when someone takes a group photo I look like a garbage-eating goblin :0

We were never close with our cousins (they were all older and lived at least 2 hours away) but I did this with my brother and sister and the nextdoor neighbours.

I've got it pretty nice I'd say. I can cook dinner if it involves boiling pasta of some sort, otherwise my partner will do the actual cooking, I just do the chopping/prep. Works out pretty nice for me 😊

I'm unsure if having a kid will be a good thing for me because I would take that offer any day.

There is something you can do: take out the trash, set the table, get the bread out, with her permission stir something in a pot, warn her about what you're planning to do then give her a kiss and a compliment.

Some people wouldn't know dark humor if it smacked them in the a*s and said giddyup ... this had me crying ...

Most of these are the exact opposite of funny, acting like an AH is never funny whether you are a man or a woman.

I really don't like the ones that talk about how their just mad all the time because of their kids. If you're always mad at your kids, it's because YOU f.ucked up as a parent.
