Just 23 #MomThings To Make You Realise You Can NEVER Win With Captain Mom
Ah, mothers. The more we say the less it is. Your biggest fan, your biggest critic. Your best friend and your worst enemy. Your partner-in-crime and your own dose of courtroom drama. She puts you in place one second and lifts you up the next. Funny how we live life thinking we're these innocent little creatures who will be accepted (farts, burps, kisses et all) by our mothers no matter what. But did you ever stop to think for a second you might just be her own little human guinea pig, her own little social experiment? That may be the joke's really on us? If you're only just waking up to this realisation, then this list is not something you should skip.
Here are 23 #MomThings that'll make you realise you'll always be your mother's human guinea pig:
