Recently, I found myself in a bar with friends, and I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is the text on this menu so tiny? I might as well have a microscope to read it! And why is it so dark? It’s like they’re trying to make ordering impossible!” At that moment, I realized—I’m becoming my mother.
This phenomenon is all too common. One minute, you’re navigating through your day blissfully unaware, and the next, you hear yourself saying, “It’s so loud in here, I can’t even think!” My mother had a repertoire of phrases that used to frustrate me, and now, I find myself echoing them. Just recently, I called my kids’ room a “disaster area.” It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but it’s hard to deny the truth in a new video that humorously captures this transition into maternal mimicry.
Meet The Break Womb
Laurel, Megan, and Olivia, the talented creators behind the YouTube channel The Break Womb, are all writers and comedians living in Los Angeles, and, of course — moms. They first crossed paths while doing improv in Chicago before having children, and now they draw inspiration from their shared parenting experiences to create relatable and humorous content.
Megan has a three-year-old son, Laurel is the mother of an almost two-year-old son, and Olivia is raising a two-year-old daughter alongside a 13-year-old stepdaughter. Their diverse experiences provide a wealth of comedic material. “Our ideas usually come from our everyday lives as moms. There’s never a lack of topics to discuss,” Megan shared. “Sometimes, just a casual conversation about our children will spark the inspiration for a video.” They produce a mixture of scripted and improvised content, with over 50 videos touching on everything from what it truly means to “sleep through the night” to the wild realities post-birth, as well as genuine discussions about shows like Thomas & Friends.
While the reminder that I’m morphing into my mother could have been avoided, I find it both amusing and relatable.
