I suppose I could have just titled this post “memes for all moms,” because I’m not sure I have one single mom friend who isn’t stressed out most of the time. We’re responsible for multiple lives that aren’t our own, and honestly, no one even seems to notice all of the work that we do to keep things afloat behind the scenes.

If just reading that sentence made your chest start to hurt, you’re in the right place – these 15 memes will soothe some of that mom anxiety that’s just so hard to shake.

15. Those are the best days.

If only they came around more often.

14. This is supposed to be our downtime.

We don’t want to have to think even harder. 

13. Everything can be peaceful and quiet.

Then you dare put your head under the hot spray.

12. There’s not time for everything.

Thank goodness cold weather is almost upon us again.

11. It’s a sliding scale.

Because I will also spend $20 in the $1 section at Target.

10. You will miss them being little.

But you will not miss the messes that went along with it.

9. You can achieve whatever you want.

Never forget that.

8. Especially if it’s to Target.

I don’t care how basic that love makes me.

7. Crying is normal.

For everyone involved.

6. It can be the best part of the day.

As sad as that can seem.

5. They don’t close doors.

You should know that by now.

4. And does it really matter?

It requires yet another wardrobe swap either way.

3. Pizza it is!

At least you know everyone will eat it.

2. Impossible to walk.

But still full of fun and love.

1. It never ends.

And it piles up unbelievably fast.

We’re doing ok, you know? And you’re not alone.

Still, remember to take some time for yourself, even if it’s just an hour in the bath.
