“Moms Behaving Badly”: 50 Posts From This Hilarious Instagram Account About Moms, Wives And Women (New Pics)
Being a mom is arguably the toughest job on the planet. But what can you do... the little ones need you, and sometimes 24/7.
The Instagram page 'Moms Behaving Badly' appears to strike a clever balance between the light-hearted and the mischievous. It's a hub of witty humor centered around kids, husbands, and the everyday trials of motherhood.
It wouldn't be surprising if some of these jests were conceived while holding a cheeky wine glass. Feel free to enjoy a hearty laugh and relate as we've gathered a selection of our favorite pictures from this account.

AMEN!!! (But also for swimming costumes!) As a regular swimmer, I have never a-men'd anything harder.
Can we also normalize bras that don't become hellishly uncomfortable if you have the temerity to run them straight in with the rest of the wash? So sick of having to treat one type of undergarment like it's royalty...
Or ones once you adjust them during the day, they're not "right" for the remainder of the day/night. One minor bra adjustment=major discomfort.
Load More Replies...I've committed to the full time sports bra for health reasons....The true kicker was one pad was in and the other gone. I went nutz trying to find it. WELL IT MADE it to the other side exactly straight - HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
I love the removable cups! I take them out, wash, then put them back in. Perfect.
Becoming a mother is a tough thing. Your whole life changes in an instant. Your friends and family start visiting to see the baby, not you. The life you had before having the baby feels like a distant world. You, as the person you were before being a mom, are different now – and we're not just talking about the pre-baby body.
Wow! Seems like there's quite a few of us who do this. Perhaps we should form a group or a club and meet up every... nevermind.
It's less needing alone time and more needing time that I'm choosing what I do instead of being forced by responsibilities to do whatever I'm doing.
I do, and I live alone (other than two cats and a very traumatized moth that isn't long for this world).
This is me. I like the quiet of the early morning before anyone else is awake.

My child would NEVER do such thing as eating fresh vegetables or various fruits. NEVER.
Doesn't work that way - they're cunning little bastards....
Load More Replies...Even though taking care of your baby can be all-consuming, it's vital to make time for yourself during this transition so you don't forget who you are. Motherhood can be overwhelming, but you can maintain your sense of self by following these tips.
Omg I do that already, although it’s a balcony and a pallet sofa
Your body is never the same after having that human baby, though - in various ways.
Chronic illnesses; ‘you will never be able to not feel pain ever in your life again’. Thats a hard pill to swallow for many and I can relate to that. Edit a typo.
Yea. Soft tissue never fully healed because it just gets replaced with a large amount of scar tissue a lot of the time, which isn't as flexible. Bones can heal well, but they have to be set properly and held in place well, until they are fully healed. It also depends on the amount of damage.
Load More Replies...Never understood this. I want a partner to do things with TOGETHER. cooking cleaning laundry all of it.
Mine too. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking like this.
Load More Replies...The first step in understanding your identity as a mother is acknowledging that you're not the same person you were before having a baby. Your priorities, schedule, body, and emotions change permanently from the moment your baby arrives. Recognize that it will take time to reconnect with yourself, and be kind to yourself as you discover the "new" you.
That's what grandmothers are for. When I was a little girl, we were broke. My brother and I each got a box of cereal a week for our breakfasts. We were allowed to choose the cereal each week, except Apple Jacks. It was more expensive than the others. It was one of my favorites. I was seven or eight, and spent the night at Grandma's, three miles out of town. In the morning, Grandma asked me what I wanted for breakfast. I said Apple Jacks, because they were too expensive. This woman who lived through the Great Depression drove me to the store in town and bought me a box of Apple Jacks.
Grannies are the best. They know how hard your parents are trying for you and so go way above to make sure you get something special. Probably the same as what their grandparents did for them
Load More Replies...My husband and I were involved in the 1996 Saguenay Floods. I was at home with the children and he was on site, far away. I was the liaison officer and was on the phone or watching the news on TV. The children are usually pretty much independent so I let them do their stuff. At some point, my mother is standing at the door, with multiple grocery bags. "What are you doing here?" "Your son said he was hungry and there was no food left in the fridge". What?! Didn't realize I was fed by my then 10 y.o. Apparently, he was also feeding his siblings (7F & 4M), getting their bath, etc. Then, after he tried telling me to no avail, he called Granmama. And what do you know? She showed up, made several meals that could easily be heat up and told my son how to do it. I was embarrassed for about 5 seconds and then went back to the phone and TV. We were all (the team) working 18 hours a day and I was so tired.
I had to look it up and now I know that there is a watercourse called Ha!Ha! River, so if anyone else needed to hear this, there you go. 😁
Load More Replies...When we were little and our parents broke, my grandma on mom's side always came through for us.. now I have kids, I always wonder how my own mother, being a grandma herself now, is so selfish and cannot be bothered w her grandchildren..
I do this with my niece. I used her phone number one time for a delivery on my Doordash account. Forgot to change it. She saw I was ordering food at work. Now she texts me she's hungry and I send her whatever food she wants. Her parents laugh at this.
Oh yes, honey. I actually had a panic attack after being made a parent representative for the nursery my son goes to. I am still patting myself on the back for standing up for myself the next day and saying NO, I can't do that. I can't take on any more. I can't be the person to mitigate, negotiate, mediate in my third language on top of everything else. I am in long-term therapy because I can't manage my own life and only agreed to it because I couldn't bear to wait in the room until someone volunteered (which they never do). I don't do well with conflict and expectations. I'm proud of myself for saying no!
I'm proud of you too! Saying no is difficult sometimes.
Load More Replies...My daughter often does the extroverting for me (to my chagrin) "excuse me??? Appointment for Williams? We have been waiting 15 minutes, my mom had an appointment at 4." Since age 5-6. She loves asking for help at the store. I'm like noooo don't we can find it ourselves!!! Aughhhhhh..... its funny and I'm glad she isn't like me. Plus people will actually listen to her. Super polite (which I do take credit for)
I spend so much energy extroverting in public situations, I’m too exhausted for anything but going straight to bed the minute I get home. This has been going on since long before I was forced to take early retirement and disability at 38. I definitely will talk the paint off the walls if I’m comfortable with you. If not, I’m going to find it very difficult to even introduce myself.
I’ve done so many ‘I can’t handle that’ things for my children. They have definitely helped me step out of my comfort zone!!!
👏👏👏 I am not cut out for that role, cheers to all parents that extrovert for their children!
Saaaame.. i was preparing to hoe it away w other moms just so my first grader will form his friend group. *cringe*
Snort-laugh! That belongs with child sitting quietly at a coffee morning staring at one of the ladies, then "Mrs Robinson just drinks like an ordinary person, she doesn't drink like a fish at all"
I work in a bottleshop and you wouldn't believe how many kids turn to their parent and are like " no that's not the right beer it's this one" we're talking 3-4 year olds

Henpecked Hal is always putting out funny tweets... sorry, it just wouldn't have felt right to say: "putting out funny X's" (RME!)
Can we all just acknowledge that alcoholism is a thing? Even with moms.
Instead of dwelling on the loss of your former self, view this transition as a fresh start. Motherhood is a transformative journey that can lead to significant personal growth. When you have a baby, you become an immediate role model. Focus on becoming the kind of person you want your child to admire.

True that. Want some of my gingerbread fellow sufferer?

My mom said a few days ago if I ever roll my eyes at her again she will rip them out and throw them out the window.
bro what if I so much as rolled my eyes at my mom id get grounded for like a month. in my house, talking back literally means saying anything other than "yes maam" when she's talking 💀

Daughter was singing "I'm looking over a four-leaf clover." So, I taught ger the Dr. Demento version, "I'm looking over my dead dog Rover." Of course, she decided to sing that version at the school recital. Not a solo thankfully.
Brother came home from kindergarten and excitedly asked my mom to call him a fairy. When she did, he waved his imaginary magic wand and said" Poof, you're a bucket of s**t!" He had gotten that from the older boy who lived up the street to use as a response to another kid who had been teasing him and was anxious to use it.

Load More Replies...My sister moved back in with my parents while she was spending some time away from her at the time husband, and I was still in high school, so I was there. My sister walked into her room one day and her vibrator was on the ground. Took her a little bit to find out what happened, but apparently her 3 year old was "playing with the finger, but it went bzzzt and scared me", in his words. XD
These ones are funny as, I was smoking cones at a friends house when I was younger and his dog walked out with his girlfriends vibrator in its mouth 😂 wanting to play.
Ok, this could go one of a couple of ways. Either act mortified and ask said toddler when and WHERE ON EARTH did they get that phallic microphone that I’VE TOTALLY NEVER SEEN BEFORE. OR. Lean into it and bring out your entire toy box to let said toddler have a go at trying different types of “microphones”, or change the game up from kiddie karaoke and teach them to play light sabers (be certain to make the whirrrrr and woosh sound and clang when two sabers collide). That’s the only way to survive this without going scorched earth with any and all witnesses. Plan a has far fewer bodies to hide buried in the Sahara under the third sand dune from the right Just beware: when you keep toys in the home of a toddler, be sure they are always clean before stashing away. Toddlers love to put things in their mouths still. Even more so if it’s doing that tickly vibratey thing while they are playing with it.
oh... i read "belching out" the first time. Thought that was pretty epic.
There's nothing quite as challenging to your self-identity as spending every day with a little one who can only express themselves through cooing and crying. Motherhood can sometimes feel incredibly isolating, so it's essential to connect with other adults to combat the loneliness that often comes with new parenthood.
My husband's normal noises - typing, chair squeaking, drink-sipping, etc - would totally change when he got stuck on something for work. I would let it go for a while, but after about five or ten minutes, I'd stop and ask him what he was stuck on. He was always like, "HOW DO YOU KNOW?!"
A woman can look at a brand new garment and instantly notice that there's something miniscule off about the pattern which will turn out to be the tiniest snag in the fabric from someone else handling it. So, yeah...we notice breaks in even the most intricate patterns; noticing your breathing is off is child's play. LOL
Back in school when i had really close friends I wrote messages with every day, I could tell when something was off when their messages "sounded" wrong.
Hahahah my boss told me, her kid came running towards her with her face and hands full of chocolate and when the little girl got to her she thought she was being offered chocolate, little girl puts hands on my boss's mouth.....it was poop. She was gagging the whole time she told me the story, it was great! Hahaha

Make an effort to spend time with your friends without your baby, or invite them over for a chat after the baby is asleep. Allocate time with your partner to discuss topics other than your baby. If it seems like you have nothing to talk about beyond the challenges of parenting, consider listening to the same podcast or reading a specific online column so you always have a reliable conversation starter.
Me, when my husband tells me to "just relax because all the s**t around the house can also be done tomorrow"
It's actually the curse of being wealthy enough that you have to choose everyday, instead of struggling to get enough of whatever food you can afford to stop your belly from aching.
True, but in a household of 5 people and being the only one doing the cooking it would be quite nice if just occasionally someone said "Hey, can we have X for dinner this week?" so I'm not constantly having to find things to cook (and then getting moaned at because one of five people didn't want that particular choice)
Load More Replies...I sat down and wrote every meal i knew how to make on a piece of paper. I added a slip for "try something new" and " takeaway". Then I just picked from the list until i gone through everything. Ymmv.
There's a Family Circus comic where one of the boys is sitting on his bed in his underwear. The caption says, "You mean I gotta get dressed every day for the rest of my life?"
Childing is so overrated But adulting is so yesterday that I’m over it.
Load More Replies...I wish that wasn't part of being an adult!!! I truly despise having to think what to make for dinner everyday.
Yes, I understand this;I've had sleepless nights over it. Writing menus doesn't work, batch cooking and freezing a lot of stuff isn't what they want......and they hate what the other one loves.
If you are game to try batch cooking again, give each person in your family the opportunity to put one or more of their choices in meals to prep and put up. Another fun idea my family loved, if your offspring are old enough, give each person a $5 bill and let them spend it how they see got to put towards the family dinner. Don’t worry if it’s a balanced meal, it’s just 1 night pier however often you chose to do this. We wound up with three delicious entrees, several sides and bread.
Load More Replies...Does everything have to be a social case r political commentary? Sometimes, can a joke just be a joke? What happened to people and humor? Here's a top, don't take life so seriously. No one gets out alive.
Simple...have the same meal on any given day of the week. I know Monday is chicken, Tuesday is cottage pie, Wednesday is fish fingers, Thursday is pasta etc. The only night that varies is Saturday, but even then that's done in rotation (sausages, burgers, pizza). Takes all the thinking and worry out of it.
We do this on a fortnightly rota. If we did it weekly we'd get bored and also, I like more than 7 different dinners.
Load More Replies...Hubby is out tonight, so dinner is a bag of potato chips and binge watching tv. For the win!
When my stomach could still tolerate it, I’d often have a bowl of cereal for dinner. Being the only person in my home full time, that means stuff like cheerios, corn bran, Chex, Raisin Bran)
Load More Replies...Want to get on a regular schedule. Tell them you are experimenting with a new dish. They will thank you for microwaved Salisbury steak and instant potatoes.
Ok, no jokes here. I know it’s not feasible 4 everyone 4 various reasons, but make ahead meals are my go to now. When I visit my parents, my dad & I will make meals for me to either freeze or freeze dry & vac seal. This has been a game changer for me. I’m disabled and can’t stand up without falling multiple times most days so anything I can make homemade & just reheat is simple, obvious self care for me. Today I put up 8 servings of stuffed peppers, 10 servings of stuffed cabbage rolls & 8 servings of my favorite meatloaf. All this from 4 bell peppers, 6 lbs of lean ground beef, 4 cans of tomato paste, 1 head of cabbage, one jar of Bavarian sour kraut, brown sugar to taste (for the meatloaf glaze), about 1 cup (div ) ketchup, about 2 to 3 tbsp yellow mustard, 1/3 sleeve crackers, & 2ish servings of rice. W/my dads help it was all in different stages of cooking in less than an hour. 10/10 rec cooking w/ someone you love & who can cook better than anyone else you know that’s not you.
I dont get that censoring anyway. Everyone knows, and probably reads it anyway. No matter if its a weak try like here, or a better one.
Load More Replies...When I was in my 20s, I caught my mom flipping off one of my teenage siblings behind their back after they'd just had some stupid interaction. And I just burst out laughing. When I became a mom, I realized how cathartic it could be... You give in or up on something because in the grand scheme, it's not a big deal, but that doesn't mean you like it.
Yes, and no from me. There's better ways to say it that are less insulting and actually provide better information for the situation, since that phrase can be used in a ton of different ways.
We understand, it might seem overwhelming to consider making time for a hobby or passion right now, but returning to the activities that defined your identity before becoming a parent can help you adjust to your new self more smoothly.

I'm 40. My wardrobe is somewhere between tramp, wild man of the woods, and uncool 90s teenager.
42, wandering between an off-duty stripper, a soccer mom in the gym and a little old lady from the farmer's market who mistakenly took her teenage grandson's punk band t-shirt 🫣
Load More Replies...Yea and I’m loving it. I can afford what I couldn’t have as a kid
Ha! I feel this so much. Band shirts and Chuck Taylors are this 49 yo's wardrobe.
I'm in my late 40s. I've always wished I was sophisticated, elegant, lady-like, but I have no idea how to do that. I'm short, which doesn't help. I'm clueless about fashion, and whenever I try to dress nicer, I feel like a fraud. Like everyone can tell I'm not meant to be in a dress or nice outfit. So, I dress as I have since I was a kid--jeans or cargo pants, graphic tee, sometimes a flannel, and converse. At this point, I'm so close to 50 I don't see the point of trying to change anymore.
I'm late 60s and occasionally have to do lady-like. My advice is stick with jeans and tees. Lady-like shoes aren't comfortable. Converse is where it's at!

I don't live with her since 19 years ago, so... I accepted my failure 💁
Having a creative outlet, whether it's drawing, photography, writing, or cooking, can increase your happiness and add some variety to the daily routine of changing diapers and being available around the clock. Even if it's as simple as adding a pinch of cumin to your tuna salad or jotting down "I MADE A HUMAN!" repeatedly in a notebook, a small dose of what makes you unique can set you on the right path.
I'm a friend with benefits: my friend changed her adress to my house and added her to my health plan as my partner.
I have a pool, don't come sniffing around here unless you're ready to go halves on the service, electricity, and water bill.
Hmm yeah, my 2-year-old also just used WTF in the correct context ... Lucky for me I have 2 preteens who throw that around like fresh air, so I'm not the only one to blame... Yikes.
Yup. A friend's 2yo was talking on her play phone and yelled "motherf***er" before slamming it down. We asked her what was going on. Turns out that's grandpa's favorite word. He says it all the time. She wants to be like grandpa.
Maybe I'm different, my household growing up was pretty laxed but I'd rather my kid not use it in a place where he'd get in trouble for it so we generally just avoid swearing at home

Load More Replies...When your every waking moment is dedicated to caring for someone entirely reliant on you, it's simple to overlook self-care. Nonetheless, attending to your own needs is one of the most effective ways to adapt to your evolving identity. Daily showers, a bit of exercise, nourishing meals, and the occasional application of makeup can serve as reminders that you are also worthy of care and deserving of it.

I once told someone to f!@& off after their dog attacked mine in an area where dog should be on lead and theirs wasn't. I was told my language was a sign of low intelligence.

I love going away with my family. We don't get to do it often because we can't afford it - but time away enjoying a change of scenery really is precious.
I just went on a big road trip with two of my kids. We had an absolute blast. One of my favorite moments was when we were playing Mad Libs while driving in the middle of nowhere and I almost had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. We're already planning the next road trip.
My husband has gone off on a solo holiday three Christmas’s in a row, while the kids and I stay home. Whenever I say it would be so good to go away with the kids he says just do it. Big price difference though going off on motorbike with tent compared to me and two teenagers, can never afford it!!!!
hello nargylothatep how are you this evening, are you staying for dinner?
Back in Summer 2020, I walked into the living room and said, "Um, I think it's raining blood outside?" And nobody reacted.
I literally have stopped caring about so much these past few years - it's like i'm watching a live action movie with a very dumb cast so it's not really interesting but at times amusing. far from surprising and I'm not at all impressed .
My life is so weird that a portal could open in my bedroom and SERAÏ COULD WALK OUT and I still would be unaffected and not surprised excpt for "heck yeah it's Seraï"

So I would just like to make those people aware that I have a very inquisitive dog. Next door's cat is known to be quite curious as well. That's all I'm saying. I *WILL NOT* be drawn into another debate about talking animals and cats wearing clothes. Not after last time.

I am seriously debating getting rid of my fav pair of jeans. Got them in 2007. Parts are threadbare...they aren't going out pants, but they may not even be stay home pants now. 🥺
My kids wore what they had until the size/condition prevented it. Why tf do parents cave into this kind of s**t?
I'm the oldest so all my clothes were new. Except for the occasional sweater I "borrowed" from dad. So my sister got lots of hand-me-downs. And if it was unisex clothing, our little brother got it. I still wear my clothes until they can't be worn in polite company.
Load More Replies...I don't know what all the negative comments are about, this one is perfect. Women, for the most part, don't want you to fix their problems, they just want to tell you about them, and appreciate it when you actually listen.

One was on top rocking, the other went up and told him he needed money to make it work - proudly pointing to the coin slot like he was imparting wisdom. The other child asked where to get the money, first child thinks then confidential asserts 'the mummies, they have the money '.
I have to admit, I don't like cleaning very much. But I told myself - if I do a half-arsed job, it's still better than nothing. And, to my surprise, this half-arsed cleaning repeated often is much better than deep cleaning once in a while and doing nothing in the meantime. Sure, my home isn't sparkly and squeaky clean, but it's never a complete mess either. Take it as a tip :)
With 3 kids it feels like a continuous job. House clean, you turn your back house messy
Don't turn your back, never do it. I have 2 kids and when they have play dates in winter I think about move out just to not clean.

There is a golden ratio there that one has to hit in order to not wake parents instead. I remember practicing this myself😂
This was my parents when I was in middle school and high school, but it was due to rampant alcoholism and led to me basically raising myself the last few years. mom got sober, dad died of liver cancer.
It's a soothing thing, not a temp regulating thing

BP censor's aren't fúcking around today, are they? Can't be bothered it seems.
Fafo my kids know. Play stupid games with me, get stupid prizes with interest.
My 21 yr old daughter couldn't believe that, me, her mom, knew all the words to Eminem
I immediately started reciting "Been downing both our lives, living in this Gangsta's Paradise"...........so clearly the songs from our early years never truly leave us, and also- not sure that's the kind of music OP was referring to lol
Argh!- on phone so can't edit spelling mistake- "spending" not "downing"

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon Warren G was on the streets tryin' to consume Some skirts for the eve so I can get some funk Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone…
😅😅😅 so true! I took my daughter and son in law to a night club and I was just like the picture 😅😅😅
Ég myndi ímynda mér að þú lítur út fyrir að vera miklu yngri en fallega Betty, elsku konan mín.

I scream back "I don't want to hear it. Figure it out between the two of you!" I'm teaching conflict resolution lol
Im the oldest of 5 siblings, so when my son comes to tell on his younger brother I just go "idk mad, kick his butt" thats what I did 🤣
I don't have female friends - never been able to make them. I have a lot of gay male friends but that doesn't help me in the demographics stakes! :D
A few weeks ago we invited the neighbors (who we LOVE) over for dinner. Dinner night came...we met in the yard, both said not feeling it. They brought Tupperware with the dessert to my house, I boxed up some hamburgers and we went out separate ways. It was glorious.
Been wild all the way from my 20's to my 40's and still having fun 😇 Happy to be child free...
On the day of my daughters 18th birthday I called everyone in the family to say that I'm back and I'm staying for good. No more nice lady. Just plain old me. How good it felt. Then I opened a wine bottle 👍🙂
Had my kids by the time I was 25. Love it. Now in my 50s, day drinking with my daughter is the best!
Sometimes you just get a feeling about other parents, and sometimes it's good to trust your instincts.

The kids next door were pretty poor with a father on the road all the time truckin' and step mom who didn't care about anything. My grandmother would always bring us sandwiches and treats even if I had just eaten. Didn't realize till I got older that she was making sure those kids got at least one good meal a day.
Since this is a funny thread, I think the meaning here is so they don't have to drive.
For me, it was unsecured firearms - I was always wearing about letting my kid visit homes I was unfamiliar with. Too many tragic accidents in the news in Arizona

Full fridge and two full freezers. Kids: there is no food in the house.
My son, age 16 at the time, was moody because, “there was no food in the house.” Please note, I had just went grocery shopping. When I pointed this out, he had the audacity to say, “that’s not food! It’s just ingredients for food!” He’s thirty now with three year old identical twin sons. And now we wait.

Me: Makes a full course dinner / My Kid: I want ramen noodles 😠
I’m 60 and my mother still tells me to call her when I get home from work in the snow! That’s love!❤️
Load More Replies...My stepmonster: You need to work and give me all your money, but also be home to deep clean my house so much so that you smell bleach for hours even if you go outside, also make my grown a*s bed and alphabetize my spices.
Our contact is limited to a once a month phone call and generic texts for the extended family, usually ranting about Brexit or showing pictures of retired people enjoying a retirement I will never get to have.
I do all the driving since his stroke. Never had an accident in 40+ years, but apparently I have no idea how to drive. 🙄 Can't wait until he's driving again!
My wife had a stroke in Dec 2022, Virginia (USA) automatically suspends your license for 6 months for her type of stroke, she has more accidents and more speeding tickets than I do but for some reason I'm the crappy driver! Luckily she is driving again and I am free to let her do what she wants but the eye roll and floorboard (brake check from the passenger side) are evidently annoying!! :-) Also, the amount of non-finished sentences from me since she started driving again are out of control. EX: "Baby, watch that..." "Are you watching the..." "Do you know how fast..." "Which lane are you..." and the amount of side eye I get is epic.

I have had 3 accidents in my life, and none of them were my fault. My hubs does the gasp thing to me as I’m backing down the driveway. Like, dude, you do this every time there’s a car within a block. Never once have I backed straight in to the road - I always stop before the bumper reaches the end of the drive, look both ways, and THEN back out. My mother, on the other hand, is the WORST side seat driver. Constantly yelling at you to break either as you’re already stopping, or WAY before you need to, while simultaneously be ticked you didn’t make that left turn in front of a car that was almost to your position - “you could have made it”. Meanwhile, she hugs the center line when she drives and bitches about other drivers hogging the road.
My wife would randomly shout, watch out!, when I drove. One time when there were no cars behind me I hit the brakes came to a sudden stop in the middle of the road and shouted, what is it? After that she was too afraid to say anything.
Omg my boss started this mothers corner in the pub I worked at, and put me in charge of it 😂 it was basically mums coming in at 9am to get s**t faced on mimosas, some would just leave the newborn baby in a pram with me and go shopping etc. im a bar tender and I don’t have kids, so it was astounding to me why anyone would do this, like at least ask me first 😂 I don’t like people who assume because I’m female I’m a baby’s sitter, what if I was a bad person
Traditionally mimosas are served with brunch so 2:30 pm is more likely.

In my 40s - don't have this any more. I have stopped having a night-time snack (essentially intermittent fasting, I suppose) and it has had a huge effect on my energy levels in the day, even when my young kids wake me up in the night!
Weirdly, I'm in my 40s and I no longer get hangovers after drinking. Maybe it's because I've become responsible about drinking a lot of water when I have alcohol.
We managed to do that me and my bestie. Our daughters are best friends to ❤️❤️❤️
I affectionately refer to this as my husband’s “resting murder voice” which often goes hand in hand with “resting murder face”
80% of my problems are because I can't control the look on my face.
It's a real problem. My mom is like this, and it's a big part of why few people want to have anything to do with her. It's sad.
Who tf tells their best friend how big their husband's pėňîş is?
Imagine the same thing with men joking about how they talk about their gf's boobs with other male friends...then come and whine about equality
I don't do that, and I don't know anybody who does that. And if somebody I knew started doing that I'd either leave, or tell them to knock it off.

why not? its just words. The fact that people still get bent over some swear words is silly. there are actual bad things in the world to be worried about and some spicy words is not one of them. Id think with the amount of b*tching people do about BP blocking certain words, this would be less of an issue in the comments but here we are.
