Motherhood is no walk in the park, as any mom will surely agree. Sure, it’s also one of the most amazing life experiences a person can have, but that doesn’t mean it’s not exhausting at times.
The best moms survive on patience, love, and a hell of a good sense of humor. Just take it from each of these downright hilarious mom tweets that perfectly sum up the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

A friend wanted to know what it’s like to be a mom, so I busted down her bathroom door while she was taking a shower so I could tell her that I’m thinking about changing the name of one of my stuffed animals.

5: Let’s play house, mommy. You be the baby. I’ll be the mommy.
Me: OK
5: It’s night-night time. Go to sleep, baby!
Me: *Kicks, screams, fusses*
5: This isn’t how the game goes, mommy. I’m the mommy, so you have to listen.
Me: Oh, honey, this is *exactly* how the game goes.

Me: I’m sorry but these are, unfortunately, my Doritos.
