My two favorite sayings: 1) Givers need to learn to set boundaries because takers don't have any. and 2) The only people who will be upset with you setting boundaries are those who benefited from you not having any.

So my children never got to know my older brother. I think they saw him once or twice when he dropped by to briefly visit my mother. So they grew up not knowing him. One morning when I went on facebook, I received a message that he was dead. He had murdered his 4th wife and then killed himself. I told the kids and that was that. "This has nothing to do with your lives, "I said. Best decision I ever made.
I think we're related. My sister was my guardian for 2 years when I was in high school. She beat me viciously twice a week on average. The police caught up. 30 years later she finds me on Facebook and wants to come meet her nephew (my son). He says, " You don't have a nephew out here".

They're always like, "Life's too short, you need to forgive". Without ever asking you why you stopped talking to the person.
'life's too short" - is the reason, why I'm staying away from them as much as possible, and living my life to the fullest, the best I can.
Life’s too short is exactly right. Many people waste their entire lives trying to gain mommy and daddy’s approval and wake up one day and realize that their whole life has passed them by and they’re too old, broke, and tired to go on that trip to Greece or work towards whatever other goals went unfulfilled in their own lives.
My cousin disappeared in the '70s. Not a word about him leaving, he just walked out the door one day and didn't come back. We all thought he had enough of his toxic parents but we never knew for sure. Over the years we've wondered what happened to him since no one heard from him. Then 30 years later his brother died from cancer, and he showed up at the funeral. He talked politely to the people there, and then he disappeared again. I admire him.
To learn more about what it’s like to be a mom who “behaves badly” from time to time, we reached out to Serena, blogger and author behind Mommy Cusses, and she was kind enough to have a chat with us. Serena says she finds herself behaving badly “all the time.” “I regularly will pick something up at the store for myself, only to put it back so I can get one more item for my kids,” she told Bored Panda.
“I also went on a vacation with my husband last year without our kids for the first time, and I felt so bad and guilty to the point that I was having major anxiety about it, and almost didn't go,” she continued. “I'm a sweary mom, and as much as I try to filter it, some f-bombs and such slip through, and my youngest will randomly swear because she doesn't know they're bad words and I have to look the other way so she doesn't see me cracking up.”
I wish that worked at my apartment, but we ACTUALLY have roaches because of poor sealing of the building, inadequate pest control, and the neighbors, so while we keep things pretty clean, it's a battle we can't win
Can we vote on changing the names of that stuff on the list? Who's with me?
Serena also says that moms today are under an immense amount of pressure to be perfect all the time. “I feel it every single day, and it has a lot to do with social media, which I hate saying because that's also what I do for work and how I connect with moms and try to break through some of that perceived perfection with humor and honesty,” she shared. “But the reason I started doing that in the first place is because I tried so hard to be the perfect mom because that's what I saw everywhere on Pinterest and Facebook. I tried making it look like I had it all together, but inside I was really suffering.”
I read a book by a therapist who mentioned at one point that the top three things couples argue about, in order, are 1. Money 2. Disciplining children 3. Stacking the dishwasher.
I managed to implement a rule that no matter what, you don´t scold someone doing a chore, ever.
Load More Replies...All that matters is that the dirty side of the dishes broadly faces the center of the dishwasher. If you put bowls on the outer edge of the rack facing out they won't even get wet on the inside.
i mean hey, i dont have a dishwasher at either of my parents’ houses soo no issue there for me. except that now theres fights abt whos gonna wash the dishes
And I am the racoon. No apologies. For further confirmation check out the differences in our underwear 🩲 drawers. After a while you get used to the tsk tsk noise.
I thought that the parents only said "Goodnight" to her and nothing more. And that she wanted to hear the "I love you" and since she hasn't heard it from the parents she said it to herself. That made me so sad.
Why would I want to leave my house? It has all my items, I have food, I don't have to talk to people, the benefits are endless
Yes! I'm in my eighth decade and live alone with my three girls (they're all felines). No, I don't get lonely. Yes, my cats are great company. I'm not anti-social: if anyone calls on me I'm genuinely friendly, helpful and interested. It's just something I don't actively seek out, or need. Being alone and being lonely are not the same thing.
Load More Replies...Yes, it is and I completely 1000% agree. Good man, that Tom Hardy.
Load More Replies...When I get takeout, have a night to myself to rewatch whatever comfort show I want to for the 1000th time, it's bliss!
When I think back to being a kid, wanting to be an adult , that is what I think is the best thing you can do, choosing to just peacefully do nothing and no one can stop you!
This is exactly why I put so much time & energy into creating a peaceful environment. I have my wall of books, comfy chair, many plants, small fountain & smooth jazz in the background. Tea is only a few steps away. Totally priceless.
And when it comes to the necessities that all moms must have, Serena says a sense of humor is certainly on the list. “If you don't [have one], you're going to be miserable,” she told Bored Panda. “Listen, I lost my dignity the moment a bunch of strangers put their hands inside me to check how dilated my cervix was, and I pooped on the delivery table. Humor really is how you survive, because you get humbled a lot, and you need something to balance out all your brain monsters.”
Serena also has some wise words for any parents who are scared of behaving badly. “We cannot be martyrs who think we are bad or selfish for doing things for ourselves,” she says. “It feels foreign to, sure, because we are so focused on caring for our kids, but that doesn't make us bad. True bad is neglect and abuse. Bad is not not entertaining our kids 24/7, telling them ‘no’ sometimes, or having lazy days where we're not trying to make everything magical. Children model what they see. If we don't take care of ourselves, how are they going to know how to do that for themselves?”
or apple pie or apple cranberry crisp or caramel apples or apple crumble or dang it now I’m hungry
Load More Replies...for real. also why do sugarfree/nonsweetened sodas taste like static
Exactly. My mom used to drink Tab. 🤢 I'd rather have plain water. At least it quenches my thirst.
Load More Replies...i once read a glass of water with a slice of lemon was a sweet craving substitute. It was then that i lost the last vestige of hope for humanity that i may have been sheltering.

Apparently, Jelly Belly has a Chocolate Pudding flavor. I haven't had the pleasure/displeasure of trying one yet, though.

Mine is salty and crunchy, You can add salt to an apple and it crunches, but it's just not the same as a cracker or potato chip.
This is me and my friend. We always go with if there are errands because we can still talk. We go thrifting, grocery shopping, paint shopping, you name it.
That sounds fun. I should try and inviting people to grocery shop with me. I may even eat healthier that way.
Load More Replies...This is basically every Saturday with my best friend of 50+ years. We visit, do errands we need to do, simple pleasures like parking at a seaside park and and watching the people and boats. And somewhere in there we get a nice but affordable lunch.
Estate sales make me sad. All that's left of this person is their physical belongings. Chances are they don't have any family, so there aren't even memories. And we just want their stuff. (edit: spelling, grammar)
I think so too, so when I buy something at an estate sale, I bring it home, lovingly clean it up and thank them for their possession, and I keep it in good shape and remember that it was loved by someone else first, or it would've been tossed long ago.
Load More Replies...There could be *shock!* discharge in my panties! I'm a doctor and I still do this when I get my own check up, even though I know they've seen - and have seen myself- the most terrible, smelly and gross stuff you can imagine. We don't even bat an eyelash at panties, be they dirty or not
Ooo whats your speciality? It must be hard being a doctor I can't even imagine the stress you go through 🥲 thanks for your hard work tho!
Load More Replies...Because even though most bras and panties cover more than a bikini a woman could wear at the beach, the underwear is considered taboo in a way and people are taught it must be hidden. That is why it is also called unmentionables. I don’t agree with it but I just remember reading about it.
Load More Replies...I don't know where the OP lives, but in France you have a yearly checkup where the gynecologist checks everything including looking for lumps in the breasts.
Load More Replies...you can never be too rich, too thin, or too close to the end of the table....
There is a male equivalent to this and it is no more logical. Why is it that the doctor that is about to examine my testicles cannot be allowed to see my underwear on or off of me? Because humans, that's why.
Serena went on to share some harmless ways a parent can be “bad.” “Be a rebel by saying no to perfection (because it's [freaking] boring and, key word, impossible). Discover yourself. Who were you before you became a mom, and how can you bring parts of her into your life. What things interest you now? Try them out! Motherhood is not a death sentence,” she shared. “Have sex, get tattoos, try new hobbies, go to concerts, be weird, dress how you want, make motherhood yours.”
“The good mom/bad mom angel and devil on our shoulders as moms is overwhelming, but there are things our kids do and will do that are simply out of our control and not a reflection of how good or bad we are,” Serena added.

Understand completely. Well maybe not completely actually I don’t understand the first part about wanting to talk to and calling your friends. Ok I don’t understand.
I understand, but replace "want" with "worked up the courage to make any phone calls I've been putting off." When they happens, every friend or business that I needed to call are responsible for being immediately available. And they should hurry because I have other calls waiting and I'm on a deadline!
Load More Replies...Must be an introvert. We have very small windows where we feel like interacting with other people. They don't last very long.
This is the BEST description of ME that I have ever seen! Just happened to me last week...
Oh, god, YES. Or you make plans to go out when you're in the mood to leave the house and then the day arrives and it's like, "I don't want to even leave my bed."
Im like this when I drink. I make plans, I make my husband contact his work friends he wants me to meet, then he reminds me about it later and I'm like ".... Yeah I don't wanna do that"
I understand completely, except that I keep getting moved away from my friends by circumstances beyond my control (two abusive marriages, one divorce, an arrest) and currently have no one to talk to beyond those who live in the same house (my mom, my brother, my fiance, and me) (I have no friends in my current area)
I call doctor's appointments, supply places, etc during normal business hours. After supper I take a nap. It's 7:12PM now they are calling me back.
I severed ties with a bad "friend" and my self-esteem suddenly soared and I felt this incredible amount of relief. That's when I realised he wasn't just a narcissistic jerk - he had been gaslighting me as well.
That's fantastic to hear Katie. It can be hard to sever those long-standing ties. Sometimes friends are harder to leave than lovers. You deserve to feel good about yourself, and proud that you were smart and strong enough to get out of that relationship.
Load More Replies...This is what all us single girls need to hear after a bad breakup.
Yup. People who call you “crazy” become shocked and bewildered at how not crazy you are when they’re not around to drive you crazy.
I honestly never had less anxiety than when I was single and vibing in my own element 🌈💖💛 I can't say zero anxiety, because my brain just doesn't function that way 😅
I just spit from my husband of 13 years and not only has my self esteem skyrocketed I have lost almost 15 stone of dead weight 😁 (2 stone from myself after my anxiety levels dropped and 13 stone of his toxic being) so happy and proud is an understatement xxx
Like my daughter said,”Mom, you’re better now that you’re not with dad.” She was 11.
Just an excuse to avoid people, house cleaning. I'm not going to do it but it's a good excuse.
I've found that not cleaning the house keeps people away. I have so much free time now!
Load More Replies...Omg I call dibs on grandma Gertrude. She is therefore now MY awesome grandma Gertrude, and we'll have drunk bad attitudes toward cleaning for the next 30 or 40 more years together. And to the kids who thought grandma Gertrude was THEIR grandma Gertrude, sorry kids, you should've called dibs because dibs outweighs birthright in any schoolyard argument or court of law. :P I love you grandma Gertrude! You keep up that awesome bad 'tude!
No one likes house cleaning! If you think you do you are avoiding serious personal issues.😏
When married the condition of the house was a reflection of my mood. Spotless house? One Mad b*tch.
I used to clean house when I had homework to do - sigh, been out of school a long time and have to move every couple years
We also reached out to Erica and Jamilah, co-hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast and co-authors of A Good Mom’s Guide to Making Bad Choices, to hear their thoughts on what it’s like to be a mom who doesn’t always follow the rules. First, we wanted to hear what inspired their podcast. “Our podcast was born out of loneliness,” they told Bored Panda. “We knew each other through friends and we’re the only ones in our respective groups who had a child. We each had made our assumptions about each other via Instagram stalking, and from the looks of it, I thought Jamilah was living her best life post baby and she thought I was engaged to an African prince!” Erica shared.
“We finally hung out a few times but ultimately lost track of each other in the thick of new motherhood,” Erica continued. “Somewhere along the way, we both became single, and Jamilah invited her long lost mommy friend (me!) to her daughter's 3rd birthday. It was there that I spilled my guts on my relationship being over, that I was single and dating a married couple, and that I had this idea for a podcast where we would share the adventures of dating and motherhood as a single parent.”
Wrap a kitchen towel around the ice cream. That way you don't have to wash a cup.
Well, great. Now I have to go buy ice cream just to test this hypothesis. (thanks for the excuse!)
I have an autistic son that would eat his weight in ice cream if I let him, so I started serving it up in coffee mugs years ago just to control the serving size.
Then sit right in the view of the TV or computer monitor and start bathing.
"I shall now sit on your phone that you set on the arm of the couch and continuously boop your arm with my claws out for the next 20 minutes regardless of whether or not you gave me attention. If you shop my off I will jump back up and keep going. I will do this for hours until I decide to go bother the dog."
My wife forgets her ID. In our state the grocery stores are required to scan your ID for any purchase of alcohol. My wife is 46, still needs to have ID to buy wine
Load More Replies...I drove to the gas station and ran into a friend. It was a nice day, and I had no plans, so we decided to do a little backhighway motorcycling. When I got back my mom's house, THREE people had called to inform her I had "gotten on a bike with some Black guy". I am 38.
This happened to me when I was nearly 30. It was the lady who told on us all the time as kids. I looked her dead in the eye and said- go ahead and call my mother - half of this is for her.
Alcohol restrictions are usually on the back of IDs. Can't sell to someone with one legally, hence the reason they get checked even if you are clearly of age.
“Sounds crazy, but my ‘oversharing’ honesty made Jamilah feel comfortable sharing her ‘bad choices’ and luckily, she said yes to do a podcast with a girl she barely knew,” Erica told Bored Panda. “Every Wednesday over the last 5 years, our audience has gotten to see our friendship blossom over the mic and hear all of our trials and errors in being human and not just mothers. Some may say my ‘oversharing’ was a bad choice, but ultimately I think society tries to hold moms to these cookie cutter standards of what happiness is supposed to look like after having a child. As long as your child is happy and mom is happy, there are no bad choices.”
I have worse. He ate the LAST cookie I made with love. I had been thinking of it all day long. He then said 'but you didn't touch it for 2 days!'. Yes, I was keeping it for a bad day, thank you. Now, that's a bad, bad day, ugh!
I have felt the anguish you now feel. He owes you cookies and flowers.
Load More Replies...Or someone threw them away because they were "old". (I'm looking at you Dad!) And they were only TWO days old. :(
That would be the last time that person ever did that if that were me. Restaurant leftovers are sacred.
My husband is a vegetarian so if i want leftovers from a restaurant, i will order a meat entree and have no issues!
Load More Replies...Or that you forgot to put them in the fridge and accidentally left them on the counter all night and have to throw them out because you can't risk it.
I hate when I do that!!! Especially if I made it with love... like chicken pot pie!! Grrrrh! I did that last month and saw it all nicely wrapped up for the fridge but warm as hell from sitting on the counter all night!!! F***k!!! All the wasted chicken and ingredients and only one helping taken out of it!!!ARGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Load More Replies...I would say "ah the benefits of living alone" but truth is it will just turn out the jerk who ate the leftovers was you and then you forgot about it so Future You ends up missing out.
Yeah I'm trying to improve my relationship with future me but honestly past me is so inconsiderate.

I'm canceling that word from my brain in all things regarding the kid
You don't know exactly how your child thinks and what they do. And if you're saying that, you probably aren't doing a very good parenting job.
I can't stomach cooked spinach (a lot of very healthy and supposedly very tasty veggies actually), but I have absolutely no problems with raw spinach. It actually wasn't until I was an adult that I discovered that the "leaf lettuce" our neighbors across the street let us pick (really nice old couple who didn't get to see their grandkids or great-grandkids and treated us as said) was actually baby spinach.
... no kid ever was witnessed - let alone recorded - actually neverring ... it's always only their mothers who claim they would.
Whatever you say your child never or always does, she will def do the opposite.
Night bed to day bed to nap bed.....then sofa....then night bed :) the dream!
I can't seem to go back to sleep once I wake up, it's just not comfortable anymore. I need this
may I recommend switching sides of the bed? Like where your pillow normally is is the top, and if you can't sleep you move it to the bottom and sleep there. It's worked for me if I really can't fall asleep
Load More Replies...The co-hosts went on to share that mothers face a lot of societal pressure to perform a certain way. “To wear a mask of what their partners, family, co-workers and beyond think they should act like or do,” they noted. “Our book, A Good Mom’s Guide to Making Bad Choices, releases on May 2nd and serves as a guide to help moms stop judging themselves through more of our very raw stories and gives women tools to begin living more fulfilling and authentic lives!”
When I got married and my father in law handed me my bride, he said to me “no returns”, then walked away.
I'm Polish and when I married my Italian husband, my father said, "At least you're not a Polack anymore." I just blinked at him as my brain rebooted.
Load More Replies...what's the difference between wine drunk and any other kind of drunk? asking for a friend
It's more classy, fancy-pansy. You first get tipsy, then sarcastic and then develop a full Karen. Beer drunks go from fun revelers to sport experts to raunchy omnipotent patriots. Unless you're a Finn in which case you retain a tight lipped stone face til the point of falling asleep
Load More Replies...Best advice I got at the hens night - make multiple copies of wedding certificate (laminate the original and hide) then you’ve got extras to rip up dramatically during an argument. Bwahahahah. Yep I’m divorced, never did the drama but it was there.
Get her to agree to a romantic "Like our first date" night. Book a nice table Buy her a couple of drinks Then at the end of the evening, take her back to her parents' home, see her to the door and then drive away.
My dad was making fun of my husband not long after we got married. I said “watch it dad, he’ll bring me back for a refund” to which he replied “hello Michael, how are you” 🤣🤣
My parents handing the toddler ice cream, chocolate, gummis and YouTube videos the moment I turn my back. 😑
Right WTF is that about? Here's 400 pound of sugar and a dopamine bong. I'm sure their behavior afterwards is totally unrelated
Load More Replies...Because, we have disposable income now that you all are out of the house. Grandkids are awesome because you can spoil them rotten and then not deal with the consequences.
Grandparents and grandchildren get on so well because they have a common enemy!
Lol, My mom always complained that when watching my son, they're firstborn grandchild, that "gramma had to feed the baby broccoli but grampa got to feed the baby ice cream". Hahaha, my dad literally cornered the market on spoiling with sugar treats, to gain status as the favorite! Evil, dad, but f*****g brilliant it worked. He died a year later and my son still fondly remembers his grampa as his best friend in the whole world, despite over 8 years having passed, and all this occurring before my son even turned 2. My dad's Evil plot to remain the eternal favorite worked so well that even my youngest, who never met my dad, assumes he was the funner grandparent because of all my son's fond reminiscing of a toddlerhood smothered in treats!
Of course! They don't have kids in the house anymore (X number of fewer mouths to feed on a daily basis adds up quickly)
IDK what law this is, but it happens. I wasn't stingy w/my stepdaughters, but I wasn't buy them anything they want either. But, when my 2nd oldest had our first grandson, it was "oh! He needs X Y Z? No problem! I'll get him TUV too just so he has it!" Christmas comes around? 6 grandkids later, I'm like it's for the littles? Time to go big time!
If a serial killer abducted me I'd probably be making jokes the whole time just to keep him at his ease. "Well at least I'll be famous after this, hahah. The true crime podcasters will go on about how I always lit up the room! ARGH MY SPLEEN"
Every . Damn. Day!! It's like I have a Beacon for people wanting to take advantage and use me.
BP, trying to destroy its own punchlines with badly blurred words since 2009. ÀSSHOLE, BP, ÀSSHOLE, I can clearly read it.
I still think about all of those times years later and kick myself, metaphorically speaking. We were trained to always be nice and helpful. Now I'm old I regret every moment when I let people walk all over me. Now I bite back.
And when it comes to why moms should be able to “behave badly” sometimes, Erica and Jamilah told Bored Panda, “I think it’s important for moms to not forget the pieces of them that they loved before motherhood. To not forget the things that made them feel alive. That may be partying all weekend with your best friends or taking a solo trip for 2 weeks away from you kids. Yes, TWO!”
“We pour into everyone else and are made to feel like we are the only people who can enrich our children,” they went on to share. “The African proverb, ‘It takes a village to raise a child,’ is not just a cute saying. It’s a proclamation and reminder that one mother can’t do all the mothering. Your child needs to get enriched by the village. That includes the other person who made the child, the grandparents and anyone else you deem worthy of your Tribe. I promise your kid will be okay if mommy takes a MF’n break!”
I'm so sorry for your loss and feel it so deeply myself. I lost my mom when I was 9 years old. I am now 34, have a little almost two year old daughter and sometimes when I watch her playing I get so sad for my younger self, and still can't really comprehend how on earth I survived this emotionally at such a young age.
Load More Replies...I wish my relationship with my mom was this healthy. I get the opposite feeling. That sense of panic that I might see my mom. Then I remember that I moved 200 miles away.
I wish too! I still have that panic 2600 miles away. Then I remember I can always leave my door closed and call the cops. Sucks when you know how toxic and abusive they are and that they can't or won't change.
Load More Replies...Aw this hits hard. I would give anything to have my Mam back and it felt worse missing her when I was pregnant. Everyone needs their Mammy.... well the great ones that some of us were lucky enough to have.
I want my mom, but Alzheimer's has taken her away from me. Her body is here, her mind is not.
I once got so horribly sick that I started crying and saying "I want my mom!" I was 30 and my husband was sitting right there.
Just had a moment like this today. I'm so grateful she was here in town; she came right to me at my job. Love you Ma!
Corn makes whiskey, Doritos, corn flakes, fritters and tortillas. So some of the other veggies are trying. Spinach makes veggie straws, smoothies that disintegrate your tongue, and adds a little color to tricolor pasta (but only 1% if the actual food). Let's not ask foods to punch above their weight class.
Wheat makes pasta, bread, tortillas, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, and wheat beer. Oh, and vodka and whisky too. And cake. And pie. And cupcakes. And cake. And donuts. Now I want a donut.
Wheat is used for most spirits like "Korn", that's in every liquor needed, weiss beer (every Oktoberfest ever)... don't underestimate the wheat!

I bought a pack of 100 from Shein a few months ago, really inexpensive. I keep the container on my desk, if I wake up and do not have one with my reach I know i will have one when I get to my desk. I feel like I just added years to my life, in time and stress reduction.
In a strange twist, I found a cute cellophane bag with "free gift" on it on my living room floor with two hair ties in it and, while I have literally NO idea where it came from, in very excited about my free gift!!
I completely understand. Hair tie and headband, to keep those short/tiny hair away from my face.
not really. they are one the largest generators of trash in the world. Fast fashion is one of the top contributors to environmental waste.
Load More Replies...One of the reasons I am glad I am a man. I keep my hair short, and don't have to deal with the angst of hair ties.
I (female) stopped caring what anyone thinks about my hair years ago, and keep it buzzed. My husband buzzes it down to 1/2 inch when it gets long enough to tickle the inside of my ears; and I buzz his down to 1/8 inch when he's sick of his hair.
Load More Replies...When I'd long hair I used to fix one to the strap of my bag so I'd always have one 😊
I love the ones where as a guy I can totally relate. I used to have long hair and I remember the irritation of hair in my face while trying to do yardwork. My wife likes my hair long, so the obvious solution of just cutting it was right out.
Erica and Jamilah also shared some advice for parents who are scared of not being perfect. “Stop worrying so much. Your child chose you because you are the perfect parent to help guide them. Nobody has all the tools. Ultimately, it’s also important for your children to see you be human. To see your truest expression so they can show up as themselves. You are doing a great [freaking] job, mama.”
“If you feel alone, we have a beautiful community of women and mothers from all walks of life waiting to embrace you,” the co-hosts added. “You don’t have to suffer in silence and don’t have to silence the ‘bad’ parts of yourself to be a good mom.”

Load More Replies...I always wanted a show on HGTV called "F**k You, It's Happening". Take the average home buying and/or renovation program with a couple. Each of them gets a single token with a giant middle finger on it. Now when one is dead set on a feature they want, and the other is dead set arguing against that feature...I think we see where I'm going with this
YALL there's a show called "ugliest house in America" and she goes around to ugly houses and ranks them in each region then the worst one gets a makeover. It's on discovery plus which also has HGTV so I'm pretty sure it's from there. It's freaking hilarious and horrifying. There's two seasons and I'm pretty sure it's renewed for a third
I have discovery plus. I will check it out. Thanks!

Add a mansion, being rich, some TV, and a beautiful deserted forest with a waterfall right outside. In a location that is 60 degrees year round and never too sunny. Then since we're in this fantasy together, let's talk about a garden that provides all my food but needs no care...
If you’re a mom, we hope you know how much your kids appreciate you, even if they don’t always say it. And if they get to be naughty, remember that you can display some bad behavior of your own from time to time. Keep upvoting the pics you find painfully relatable, and let us know in the comments what you find to be the most hilarious part of being a parent. Then, if you’re interested in checking out even more pics from Moms Behaving Badly, you can find our previous article featuring the Instagram account right here!
I want to be a fresh load of laundry. Always that perfect warm, and just the right amount of the smell so I don't get a headache.
Ok but some people don't get that too much smell is migraine triggering. I had a coworker once that smelled like they bathed in cologne and it took my vomiting once when they walked by me for them to tone it down.

Like, seeing people walk into a room and the second they look at me they leave again… sounds heavenly.
Raiding that Target and Joann Fabrics have curbside pickup was a huge financial blow
I don't get the lure of target. I have never wanted to go shop there.
Mine a temple of some long forgotten goddess, laying in ruins and overgrown by nature. It's peaceful though
Wanna trade? Mines more like a muddy old hole cluttered with trash, but you can make it your own.

My body is a temple but I am the goddess to which it is devoted. Do not presume to tell me how I may decorate my altar.
I once dreamed thatI got stranded in a blizzard with Patrick Swayze. We talked all night and when I-70 reopened in the morning we went to the diner in Watkins for blueberry pie.
Had a dream about Henry cavill.. We sat at the kitchen counter talking awkwardly about the weather! I'm an Introvert so that's as kinky as it got 😂
I had a dream about a crush but me and him just talked for hours in the dream in some secluded forest, honestly best dream I've ever had
Ha! I had a dream that Harry Styles was dressed like an astronaut.... he gave my friends sponge cake (literally just sponges) and they went insane, and then later I opened a closet in my house to find him in there, singing
He was singing in your closet? Was he still wearing the astronaut suit?

I once had a dream about someone where all that happened was I built a LEGO car while this person talked about music. I was 13.
Do dreams with recurring themes mean anything. Yes, feel free to go OOOOOooooh.
I would've laughed my a*s off, I love hearing kids swear. Especially when they use it right.
It depends. A little precision Swear-bomb like that? Yeah, absolutely. But don´t get me started on the profanities kids (and adults) can spew during online games, like Overwatch, LoL and what ever games there are.
Load More Replies...My kids keep telling people "mommy is crabby today". But occasionally it sounds a lot like crªppy
My son has a speech delay. He struggles with phonetics. But that boy can cuss like a sailor and use the words appropriately. Its hard to ask him not to say certain words when I want him to say all the words. In our family we could cuss as long as it was not at others in anger or gratuitous and never in front of grandmother.
I love profanity. My native tongue. My favorite word is f*ck. My second favorite is dude
Well, I guess that kiddo payed attention to what (most probably) it's dad uses to say to its mum a lot at home.... I feel for the mum.
same! i didn't think people like this existed before tbh

My best friend is like this, and I feel this way about her. People like this are incredible man
Yeah...at the moment I don't have anyone like this, at the beginning of the school year i was SUPER shy and didn't talk to anyone, so i don't really have close friends
This is why my phone is silent at night. That nonsense can wait until the morning.
Exactly! No emergency outside my home (nest?) that can't wait until I'm up

I hate a morning text, and I'm super comfy and asleep, then worry it could be important, then I'm awake after that. ANNOYING
Oh I have given up on that. I swear in three languages in a regular basis. My hope is to just confuse them.
Load More Replies...I often like to rage clean to get rid of anger or detail clean when I'm down to get the serotonin from satisfying cleans. Recently I was teaching my 13 year old son some of the satisfying cleaning things I do (since I just had hand and elbow surgeries and can't myself for a bit) and at the end he was like, "this was a good day and that was really relaxing." I'll take that as a win!
Give them a rag and let them "help" when everything you do is still cool, so when they're like 18 mos and they might pick it up. If you let them start when they're 10 it feels like punishment and growing up and all that misery.
Yep, that's what my mom did with me. Mind you, by the time I was 10, what I had learned was that no matter how much I tried, it was never good enough. I stopped trying looong ago.
Load More Replies...They always model the bad behavior they see. It's not just children either.
Haha oh how I needed that one today! I have been cleaning and tidying our house today because we have ppl coming over tomorrow. No help from anybody... not the 3 kids and not the bf. I am so darn exhausted now. My body feels like I ran a marathon or something. My kids have been asking me all day what I'm doing and more or less ran away from me when I told them I was putting things away so i could do some actual cleaning.
I think my adult children basically ignored 90% of everything I taught them. What is worse is that the other 10% they think they taught themselves.😤
It's OK unless said grandma lives with you and gives the kid all she wants all day long. Still love my mom fiercely and I'm so glad for the help
Jealous. I moved to the other side of the world so my mother wouldn't try to have a say in my daughter's life.
Load More Replies...Me as a day care worker: "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit." 3 year old: "You get and you get and you don't throw a fish."
Negotiating with my 3 year old today and he voiced his interpretation of that phrase as "you get what you get and then you get upset." Very on brand of him :)
Load More Replies...I would say "you get what you get and you don't get upset. My daughter, about 5 YO, would say "no, I get what I get and I cry." I'm my head, I would respond "same kid!"
I once literally heard my mom say to one of my nephews "if you don't finish your cookie you can't have any ice cream". Like seriously?! I never got either when I was a kid. I got told if I didn't finish my hamburger helper I was gonna be hating life... as if I didn't already.
My mom told me she had to buy her way into Heaven by being nice to the grandkids. Miss her.
This is the reward grandparents get for not murdering us in our sleep
Never had to clean out my fridge as I always eat everything inside it. The glass shelf made my mouth bleed though
the trick is to not buy fresh stuff like veggies and fruits. YOU ARE lying to yourself. YOU ARE NOT going to eat them. We all know it is to assuage feelings of guilt for eating junk, and that you are going to continue eating junk.
Just leave that cabbage in there until it becomes kimchi Milk to sour cream / cottage cheese. Fruits to various wines ... and so on. If you are lucky you even get some basic antibiotics.
Mix all of them and you may discover a new hallucinogen. Or the cure for cancer...
Load More Replies...The 72 slices of cheese that I bought months ago for sandwiches I never made are totally judging me right now.
Me with grapes. SMH. I even trim the bunches down a bit whilst I'm in the store before I buy them. BUT THEY LOOK SO YUMMY! I think to myself. So I figure I'm going to eat them all. But then I buy apples, and pears too at the same time.
I have a whole lazy Susan in my fridge dedicated to pickles and olives. It is my carousel of my special treats my husband does not care for.
I'm an official cat hater. The rest of the family all owns cats. When we have family gatherings, guess where even the meanest, most unsociable cats decide to sleep. On my lap. We bond over our shared feelings.
This happened to me in a dark parking lot once. When I screamed 3 people rushed to my aid only to find out it was boyfriend who ran up behind me and scared the 💩 outta me. I'm still eternally grateful they were willing to rescue me. ❤️
Awwww my faith in humanity has been (partially) restored
Load More Replies...Yup. The first time my scary-looking-but-harmless boyfriend came to pick me up in the parking lot, three coworkers stopped and asked if I was okay. BF was confused until I pointed out he was 6'5" and like 300 lbs. lol
I had a bf once who grabbed my rear end at the grocery store, but I didn't SEE him. I only saw the the guy I started screaming at. I was so embarrassed when I figured it out & the guy was actually really cool about it. BF did NOT last.
My boyfriend once filmed me(without my knowledge) going into work. I found out when security came up to me at the timeclock and told me some guests had told them. I described my boyfriend to him and everything was cool. I am grateful for those strangers who reported this because it could have turned out bad.
My neice just stands in the mirror and says h**l yeah over and over at the start of each day. Life goals dude

One time I was real tired but me and my family were going out to eat at a kinda fancy place, when I got my spaghetti I ate it wrong, not twisting the noodles so I got frustrated and said “what the hell is this” wouldn’t be that bad If a didn’t yell it and I wasn’t like four
I’ve saved like five of these posts and will probably forget about them the moment I close the page 😂
I live in Oregon. They have to legally pump our gasoline here. ( I cannot pump my own gas.) I got an electric car so I can charge it at home. Done.
Being anti-social is demonstrating behavior that would cause a society to reject that individual, not a dislike for people/social activities.
Almost everyone on bp seems antisocial or very very strange hermits. Modern day anchorites without the traditional religion.
Me too. But, really it's more a desire not to acquire the latest deadly disease by going into a building. I haven't had a cold since 2019!
Because it's not. Around 45, you gain that 15 pounds, and it just doesn't go away
Sometimes those 15 pounds has a 15-pound friend who moves in with them.
Then you just ask yourself would you rather be skinny and miserable or fat and happy?
Another thing to add to your list of things to not give a shît about
Every work meeting ever! I just nod seriously and then think about what I'm going to eat for lunch or dinner. :)
And also "GO AWAY." The amount of people that will keep talking on and on and on at me even though I wear headphones for a FREAKIN REASON is astounding. Especially when I take them off to listen for a bit, then they pause their talking and I think they're done but I have to take them off again because they keep talking :/
Sometimes when I'm watching my nephew, the words accidentally escape my mind out my mouth 😬
Me with my dad when he starts blabbering on to me about work and how much he hates this house
As you get older you think I don't need this s**t and just walk away.
I am light years different than the person I was when my husband and I first got together. We took each other's feedback. We grew and changed together. Mom on the rocks needs to let go and grow. Edit: yes we did this on our own accord because we wanted to be better versions of us.
I feel like the joke just kind of flew right over your head on that one.
Load More Replies...Yeah, really? And I want to get to know her without ever leaving my home
I had one like that and then she got cancer. I still miss her, I probably always will.
The very old gentleman next door to me just passed this past week. Very sad, I know (we didn't really know him- he was very much a recluse). Anyway, I alm hoping and wishing and trying to manifest that for our new neighbors. Like can it just be someone I can vibe with? Please??? My neighborhood is full of mean girl moms and no one asks us to do anything. I need someone cool!! Who also has kids who like my kids.
Makes me miss my friends that are those people to me but live 6+hours away. We used to fantasize about owning one huge piece of property where we could raise our families and rescue animals together.
Careful what you wish for. I wanted that once, too. She was lovely, but really needy and I finally had to have "the talk" with her about boundaries - like she couldn't just come over at 8:00 on a Saturday morning without being invited. And I really got fed up with her just walking into my house - 2 knocks and the door opens. This was back when locking your doors while you're home wasn't something most of us did. I had to start. Yes, our friendship slowly died. But, I came to realize that I was more of her therapist than her friend, so I let it.
Here let me rub dirt in your wounds. When my kids were 1 and 3 we met some people that got together for "Playdates". Our kids were not only close in age but a few were adopted, like mine. It's 25 years later, the kids are all grown and gone. We still meet for "playgroup" at least once a month, sometimes weekly. We even have an at home dad or two.

I know this is supposed to be funny. Please do not lie to your kids like this. The trust you are destroying is not worth it
Kids to mom when she's old, we're going to Hawaii and want you to join us! Drops her off at the nursing home.
My parents never ever lie to me. (Aside from Santa, Tooth Fairy, etc. but I’ve forgiven them for that.) Aside from those, they never lie to me.
I love to cook, would cook for hours for a meal, IF someone else will do the clean up!!
I am a retired chef and I still love to cook especially now that its for 2 and not for 500+ BUT hate the clean up. hubby and i would take turns in the kitchen until he decided that he didnt like eating beans and wieners when it was his turn. So we made a deal I would do all the cooking and he would do all the cleanup.
I was rushing around yesterday and my 10 year old asked me, “mom, are you a hot mess today”? Man, that kid gets me.
My snacks don't fit in any pockets, it needs a bug a*s backpack to carry them all
i would think a bug a*s backpack would not be a very good one?

Especially when he's snoring like he's practicing for an audition as a goddamn piece of construction equipment and gets grumpy when I shake him to get him to turn over... Like mother f-er, I deserve a decent night of sleep too!

I don't know. I get that there are predatory people out there but I don't like the assumption. I'll reach that age in a few years and still feel like in my twenties (but with more worries). It's different than in earlier generations, it seems. Even our friends with kids still do stuff they did at and since their twenties because they enjoy it. It keeps them young. (Btw I am female if that matters)
Load More Replies...Shh, let people enjoy things, and besides there's no age limit on when you can go to college,

I have a special duster that can do a lot more. It has a hammer and a trigger, and it's called 12 bore. Clean your damn shelves and pick that up off the floor. If I ask again, I swear I won't need to ask no more
Kitchen spray is my perfume, and we're all gettin' high on the fumes.
This is my neighbor after we all saw her have a full blown meltdown one day yelling at her husband in the front lawn and beating said lawn over and over with her cardigan. Like she took the Cardigan off and every word she yelled she slapped the ground with it like people who space extreme thoughts with hand clap emojis. "I 🧥 hate 🧥 you 🧥 leave 🧥 me 🧥 alone!"
Wait til 3 cruisers show up in your driveway. Perfect way to get neighbors to back the f*@& off. 😁

Maybe I'm a bit harsh here, but whenever I see the term "wine mom" , the first thing that comes to mind is "Whine mom"... And yes, I'm a mother, my son's 30 and I had to do most of the upbringing myself as I got divorced when he was little. I never saw motherhood as a "wine"-moment and I never whined either, even when things got tough. I dealt with it the best I could and went on making the best for us with what I had. Becoming a parent isn't always fun, it's hard work and sometimes the kid still turns out to be an a$$hole, so be it. I can however imagine being a mum is very hard for those who weren't allowed/couldn't have or get an abortion, they didn't want to become a a parent but ended up being one anyway, that is the saddest thing for all parties involved. I hope for all the women in the world that one day soon in the future the day will come they have the autonomous say over their own bodies and politics nor religion will haveno say in it whatsoever.
FFS could we PLEASE stop having articles like this? Women are not a monolith, so whenever I see a title that says something along the lines of, "What women want/need/think/are really like" it really sets me off.
Why? I enjoyed tis article, if I know I won't like a specific topic, I appreciate others will, what is wrong with "each to their own" and we need variety and choice, get over it, the world is not run for your sole benefit!
