We hope this list of relatable mom memes offers our beloved mothers relief and puts a smile back on their tireless faces. Scroll through our collection of comical mom’s life moments, and let’s come together to honor all the fantastic supermoms.

“Hold My Hand, Please”
JillVille 5 years ago
When my daughter was 2, she refused to hold my hand when crossing the street. Then we saw a baby squirrel that hadn't made it all the way and was sadly flattened in the middle of the road. She asked what happened and I replied "He didn't hold his mommy's hand when crossing" - worked like a charm for the next few years! There was never a fuss about holding hands.

Stay-at-Home Moms Could Be Earning Thousands
According to 2018 research by Beike Biotechnology, a center that does societal and stem cell studies, a stay-at-home mom with four children is estimated to be continuously working the equivalent of 26 years (1). The research group conducted this study using statistical data, salary metrics, and time estimates for each job of motherhood across various countries.
The study then projected the commercial value of the usual tasks performed by stay-at-home mothers, like cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry, and general home management tasks, putting a value on each role versus the projected number of hours.
If moms were paid for these tasks, they should be raking in substantial salaries. For instance, a stay-at-home mom would take home between USD 5,300 and USD 5,900 in Switzerland.
In a recent study, four US cities were ranked among the top 10 cities where stay-at-home moms would earn the highest salaries if paid for all their work. These cities are San Francisco, Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles, with potential earnings of up to USD 5,400.

Why Moms Carry Their Kids on the Left
According to Abigail Tucker (Smithsonian Magazine, 2021), whether a mom is left or right-handed, they would still cradle their babies on the left side of their body, especially in the early months (2).
The left-handed bias is due to the human brain’s lopsided layout: sensory information on the left side of the body is processed on the right side of the brain, where emotions are processed.
A 2018 study published in Biology Letters Journal demonstrated that holding and observing the baby on the left may help transmit social information to the right side more efficiently (3). Babies also prefer to keep their mother on the left side, which makes the exchange of information and emotional connection more convenient.

“Mommy Brain” is a Real Phenomenon
When mothers feel forgetful, it’s due to a biological reason known as “mommy brain.” A study published in the Nature Neuroscience Journal in 2016 found that mothers experience a reduction in gray matter during pregnancy, and these changes can last for at least two years (4).
However, losing gray matter during pregnancy may have some benefits. Research has revealed that the brain regions involved in processing and responding to social signals may become more efficient during pregnancy.
In fact, women who experienced the most significant decrease in gray matter performed better on a standard assessment of maternal attachment to their children. This indicates that the areas of the brain responsible for a mother’s interaction with her child become more active.

Pregnancy May Actually Be Contagious
A 2014 study published in the Advanced Life Course Research Journal analyzed the pregnancy timing of more than 30,000 German women and found that pregnancy spreads in workplaces (5). In the year after a colleague had a baby, there was an uptick in first pregnancies among colleagues.
Similar research published in the Demography Journal 2010 showed the same trend followed by families (6). A Norwegian study involving over 110,000 sibling pairs demonstrated that siblings significantly influence each other’s decision to get pregnant, particularly during their first pregnancies.

Parents:*Moan and whinge about how having kids ruined their social life, sleep schedule & just about everything else* Me:"Nah kids aren't for me" Parents & judgemental a******s:"WHATTTTTTTTT!!1!!!!!111!! KIDS ARE THE BEST"
Ana Vieira 5 years ago
A friend of mine says: "Children are the best and the worst we have in our lives." I love my daughter, she is, under a general view, a perfect child. Since newborn she always slept at least 6hours straight, is rarely sick, eats everything we put on her front, likes fish and salad/vegetables, I can count with one hand her child tantrums and she made only 2 in public (now at 14y we have arguments often, but are usually negociated, some days she ends upset but accepts my demands, others I have to give up some minor rules and trust her jugdement), is a great student, well behaved, helps random people she sees in need, and receives appraisal from her teachers and people around. When people ask me why didn't I had a second child, I always say: "Look at my daughter. I'm a spoiled mom. I'm afraid a second may come as "standard" or worst, and I'll regret my decision hundreds of times." I'm a lucky momma, but I completely understand people who don't want children, and that must be respected!

I refuse to have children simply because of most of these things. I don’t think I could be a good mother with all of these things on my plate, stressing me out more than I already am. Children are a lot of work, and I’m definitely not going to put that burden on myself.

I have 2 nieces and a nephew. I love them and I’ll take them to the zoo or whatever but after 1 day (or even several hours) I’m exhausted and glad I can just drop em off at my brothers when we get home. They always say it’s different with your own kids but no thanks. Too much work and stress. Not going to put that burden on myself either.

Oh hell no. Never wanted kids and thank God I never had them. But I'd like to tip my hat and give a shout out to everyone that has kids including my mom who had me. It is not an easy job as you can see. And I have nothing but respect for parents. But I thank God I never had any.
