50 ‘Moms For A Minute’ Chip In To Help Anyone In Need Of A Loving Mother Figure
American adventurer Christopher McCandless, who the movie Into The Wild is based on, is attributed with the phrase "Happiness is only real when shared", and I guess the same can be said about a lot of other emotions, too. We humans are social creatures, and our lives are heavily dependent on the connections we form with one another. Out of those, arguably the most important one is with our mothers. However, not everyone has one.
Luckily, there is a subreddit called 'Mom For A Minute' to fill the void, even if ever so slightly. "We are Mother Geese to our loving Ducklings," the community introduces itself. "When you need understanding, congratulations, praise, or advice from a mother figure, but don't have one in real-life able or willing to provide that for you — we are here for you. We support you and love you unconditionally!" And they deliver every single time.
Over the years, we at Bored Panda have covered a lot of corners of the internet but this is one wholesome tearjerker. I know it can sound like a cliché, but sometimes knowing that there's a person who cares really is all that you need to get through the day.

We've Got Your Back
alive_maple:
Not just teen girls. All women. I’ve had girls come up to me and act like we were best friends when we were complete strangers just so they weren’t alone w a creepy dude bugging them. I caught on immediately every time. This is a great tactic ladies pls don’t be afraid to use it.
Delta Dawn 1 year ago
I once purposely stood between a leering, creepy dude and a very petite young woman in shorts and a tank top on an elevator, in full mama bear mode. He got a good view of the side of me instead of the young woman.

They've always deserved this clean and pretty home. One of my favorite sayings is "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." Continue the healing. 🍞 🍚 Sending virtual bread and salt to their new home. Bread so there will plenty and salt so life will have flavor.

Hey Mom. I Know You Are Dead And Were Not The Most Supportive But This Is Glacier. He Is My Soon To Be Service Dog. You Might Have Called Me A Psychotic Bit*ch But I Have Schizophrenia And I Am Proud To Say That I Am A Person With Schizophrenia. I Am Tired Of Hiding That This Is Something I Have

Mom, My Family And My Friends Made Fun The Platypus I Crocheted. No One Wants To Buy It Either. Should I Even Continue With Making These?

They're adorable, don't listen to negativity crocheting is quite a talent!!! Animal shelters to sometimes are looking for sweaters and toys for their littlest of survivours maybe reach out to a local shelter? Children's ward of your local hospital (Preemie's) need little friends to hold - hats to keep them warm - blankets to snuggle in? Keep doing what your doing xo

As your mother, I feel like you need a good talking to. You are letting the voices in your head tell you mean things. Stop it. Your drawing skills eclipse my drawing skills by several orders of magnitude. I do not want to hear you denigrate your ability or talk down about yourself ever again. You hear me, honey? You have worked hard to get to this level, and you need to acknowledge that to yourself. I personally am very proud of your ability and I tell all my friends what a great drawer you are. Now get out that drawing pad and keep drawing. Love you, (signed) Mom.

You’ll never really get your nails done with out her, you are forged from her.

Lana Lana Banana 1 year ago (edited)
S**t, your comment hit me hard. This is a pain I can relate to deep in my heart and soul... Lost my mama, whom I was incredibly close with as well, to cancer... Like, if a mother and daughter could be soulmates, we absolutely were. It will be 2 years ago in July. There are similarities I have w/ her in the way I behave and certain things I do that I will never change, and that's how I keep her surviving in this world... which has provided me with at least a little bit of comfort and relief. Sounds like your mama was a lovely person, and perhaps there are traits/skills/characteristics of her that you can (or maybe already do) pass down to your girls that they too can pass on to others to ensure her influence never stops making a difference in this world. Anyway, wherever you're at in the journey of grief, for what it's worth know that a stranger over here feels for you and genuinely hopes you're doing okay. Damn, sorry about the essay....shoulda prefaced this with "dear diary"...

I can't be a 'mom', but if any of you need a weird uncle, I'm here. To each and every one of you who posted something, I am proud of you.

I was 72 pounds last year. I'm now over 90 pounds! (A lot of it's from stress eating, but I'm still proud ) even though 90 pounds still ain't great, I am getting better weight wise! Nobody really cared but my friend, but I'm proud of my self. On another note, i never really go on reddit but i wish i had this kind of mom..

I've read your post with my metric mind and got a little confused (going from 72 kilos to 90 isn't something to be proud of, in most cases; body builders excluded) 😅but congratulations!🥳 It's strawberry season, have some cream with it😊

I should not have read this...it made me miss my mom so much but these responses were beautiful and heartwarming. Much find this sub on Reddit....sometimes I need a mom 'hug'

Reading these responses that address to these people as "honey" "sweetie" in the loveliest and most caring way really hits hard. I had never realized how much affection I'm lacking cause I could actually feel the extraordinary power of those words when I read the comments. No one talks to me like that ever and only now am I realizing what a difference it could make in the way you feel

I'd never be jealous of people on reddit but also I wish that I had this

Some of these are heartbreaking. As a parent I can never understand how you can refuse to love your child, for any reason. I can understand it can be hard to be in their lives, especially in cases where addiction is involved, but the love should always be there. And the amount of these beautiful human beings 'discarded' by parents because they love or want to be "the wrong gender". It breaks my heart. Love is love, and that should always outshine opinions or beliefs. All I ever want is for my children to be safe, happy and feel loved. It is warms my soul to know there are people out there to care.

There's something so inspiring about seeing these people's transformations - I may or may not be crying. It's so sad how these amazing people don't have parents who love them, but the answers were genuinely sweet and thoughtful.

If any of you are going through a rough time and need someone to say that you're loved or proud of you, I will happily be your internet mom/aunt/whatever you need. I love you all and I'm giving you the biggest hugs ❤️

Exactly! So sweet and wholesome, but emotional. I’m tearing up.

Yes! So many of them had me tearing up with happy tears! I think I might need to post on that subreddit myself, unfortunately. I wish one of the Moms for a Minute could replace my actual mother.

I've never spent much time on Reddit but I'm kinda tempted to go on there just so I can join this subReddit. I don't feel qualified to be a mum, but maybe I can be the supportive auntie?

There's also some people who are sisters on there, so that's an option.

This brought me to tears. I lost my mother to cancer 5 years ago. She never got to meet her granddaughters. She was my best friend. It hurts every day knowing that when I need her most, I can't talk to her ......

S**t, your comment hit me hard. This is a pain I can relate to deep in my heart and soul... Lost my mama, whom I was incredibly close with as well, to cancer...
