Ever had petroleum jelly smeared on every item in your home?
Becoming a mom isn't a cakewalk — that's for sure. But that doesn't mean we can't laugh at all the unfortunate but relatable(!) moments we experience. Please enjoy these 15 funny moments shared by fellow moms:
1. When you didn't realize how much it would change you — the left photo is Instagram user @koyangi87 before becoming a mom and the right is her after:

4. When you thought you'd be able to keep things clean, but have now come to grips with the fact that you cannot have nice things:
Me: Do you have a napkin? Her: No, I’ll just use the couch. Me: 🤦♀️ @HeinzKetchup_US 😂 #momproblems
5. And you've also come to terms with the fact that horrific things live in your car, especially under your child's car seat:

6. When you were under the impression that you could nap when your kid naps, but reality has shown you that was a lie:
I just want to take a nap
7. When you envisioned your pregnant belly looking super cute and completely round, but it didn't look like that at all:
Do you ever just feel like a rotisserie chicken?
10. When you expected help from your family in the kitchen, but quickly found out the joke was on you:
My mom made everyone get out of her picture with the food cause "ain't nobody help"
11. And when you thought you would have tons of ~mom friends~, but now know it's harder than it seems:

12. When you imagined all the times you would be bragging about your ~oh-so-talented~ child, only to find yourself begging them to do the bare minimum:
What I thought I would say as a parent: "You are going to change the world." What I say as a parent: "Stop licking the window."
14. When you were 100% sure you were going to be the boss and have everything under control, but were proven wrong:
Parenting in a nutshell? My 4yo just offered to let me go to sleep if I gave her 100 dollars.
15. And when you thought you'd have it all together, but have now embraced the fact that you're never going to completely have your shit together as a parent:
Just heard the mom of a newborn tell her crying baby “it’s ok, we’re figuring it out... we’re just on day 8” and honestly I’m on day 3,654 and I’m still figuring it out.
Hey moms, we're all in this together...and we can laugh through the tears!
