As parents ourselves, we know that there’s really no such thing as a day off. While many dads certainly do their fair share, it seems that many kids need mom for so many more tasks. And, there is so much invisible work that moms do, like planning birthday parties and making grocery lists in their heads, that moms definitely have a lot on their minds.
We’ve put together 45 hilarious mom memes that capture just a little bit of what motherhood really looks like.
