Becoming a parent is one of the most life-changing experiences a person can have. But let’s face it, parenthood doesn't come with a handbook, and most people have absolutely no idea what they're getting into. People suddenly find themselves on a wild roller coaster ride filled with countless surprises (mostly bodily fluids, right?), unexpected challenges, and little to no recognition. But even when kids test their patience and don’t leave much fuel in their tanks, most moms and dads wouldn’t change a thing.

What they would do is share hilarious tales about the ups and downs of this whole adventure with everyone online. Thankfully, Dana from Jacksonville, Florida, understands the struggle and provides a safe space for fellow mothers and wives to describe their entertaining and oh-so-relatable mishaps, fears, and triumphs.

Dana runs a blog and an Instagram account called 'Millennial Mom Confessions' where she navigates motherhood "one clueless choice at a time" and inspires others to join her in this journey. We at Bored Panda have gathered some of the best posts, jokes, and memes from her feed to lift up your spirits and share a few laughs. Be sure to upvote your favorite posts, and feel free to tell us your own stories in the comments! And if you're interested in even more motherhood goodness, check out Part 1 of this feature right here.

    Exactly. It's not 'babysitting' when you watch your own kids, it's simple parenting.

    There's a book by Miyabi Kawai with the (translated into English) title "The beach doesn't care if you have a bikini waist". Book is somewhat okay, but the title stuck with me forever. It doesn't matter what shape you are in, just enjoy that time on the beach.

    Am I the only one who usually knows why my toddlers cry? Like, they rarely start for no reason or because their diapers are full, they have "proper" reasons like, I won't let them take that fist size rock into daycare, or there's no more tomatoes, they only get unreasonable when I know they haven't slept enough or are sick, and that's understandable, isn't it? I still randomly check their diapers, though, because they often won't admit to having p**ped.

    Whoever wrote this does not have kids. Little kids do not notice how much you spent on them, or really comprehend that you made inconvenient choices to make them a priority. They tend to take that for granted. Mostly they remember stupid things like the fact that you gave them an apple three years ago, or that grandma said the F word. They might appreciate that when they are 40, and you're dead, and they are feeling peri-menopausal, but before that, naah.. sorry

    If I had to travel for longer than 2 hours with my kids, I'd put them to sleep in the car (which they loved) and time my departure so we'd arrive about 7 a.m.about when they'd wake up. So the answer to 'Are we there yet? was always 'YES.
