Moms are superheroes running on pure love for their little ones, determination, and, likely, coffee. Having forgotten what a good night’s sleep or personal space feels like, they devote a humongous amount of their time and effort to caring for their children, which is why they should get some well-deserved “me time,” too, even if that means five minutes of mindless scrolling in silence.
Well, if you’re a mom and have five minutes to spare, we’ve got something for you today that might make your screen time more entertaining. Below, you will find some of the best mom memes, as shared by the ‘Best Mothers Ever’ Instagram account, so if you’re looking for funny posts you can relate to, look no further and enjoy. Happy scrolling! While that can undoubtedly be tiresome, moms and dads love that ‘shrieking someone’ to the moon and back, which makes all the effort they put into parenting totally worth it. Statistics show that roughly 80% of parents consider parenting enjoyable and rewarding, despite it being tiring and stressful, too (which somewhere between a quarter and a third of parents reportedly say). Pew Research Center found that moms and dads use a variety of social network sites, out of which Facebook is their number one choice. Out of the surveyed parents, the vast majority—91%—of them used the internet, which was “significantly higher than rates seen in the general adult population and among those adults who are not parents.” But when it comes to entertainment—memes, for instance—many mothers turn to good old Instagram, often opting for some mom humor they can relate to. Providing an abundance of relatable content, the ‘Best Mothers Ever’ Instagram account was started back in 2020 and has since then amassed close to 75k followers. According to a PhD candidate at Concordia University in Montreal, Kathryn Jezer-Morton, there’s a range of representations of motherhood online, CBC reports, some of which are funny, while others are more aspirational and style-oriented.
“I think that becoming more media literate is now part of the journey of parenthood, like learning how to deal with this media and consume it in a healthy way. It’s sort of like becoming a teenager again because there is a way in which you are vulnerable,” Kathryn Jezer-Morton told CBC, discussing the way portrayal of motherhood online might influence mothers on the other side of the screen.
