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".

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.”

    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.”

    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.

    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.

    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?”

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.”

    “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.”

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!”

    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.

    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.”

    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...

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.

    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 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.

    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 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.

    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 :/

    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.

    My two extremes are "refuse to talk to anyone ever" and "trauma dump on random strangers"

    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)

    For the album, add Too Many Shoes Blues. Two people, 15 pairs of shoes. All delicately placed so that getting in/out the door is a hazard.

    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

    We're going to need an Album Release, maybe even a Discography.

    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. 😁
