Recently, I found myself at a local bar with friends and blurted out, “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 in here? It’s like they don’t want you to order anything.” Yup, I could feel it—I was becoming my mother.
This transformation is something many of us experience. One moment, you’re just enjoying your day, and the next, you’re exclaiming, “It’s so loud in here that I can’t even think!” My mom had her signature phrases that used to annoy me to no end, and now I find myself repeating them. Just the other day, I told my kids their playroom looked like a “disaster area.” Not my finest moment, but I’m definitely feeling the vibes from a recent video highlighting how all of us seem to morph into our mothers over time.
The Mom Squad
Laurel, Molly, and Megan, the talented trio behind the YouTube channel “The Mom Squad,” are writers and comedians based in Los Angeles. Their journey began before motherhood, rooted in improv in Chicago. As they all became parents in quick succession, they decided to channel their experiences into humorous videos.
Megan is a mom to a three-year-old son, Laurel has a son nearing two, and Molly juggles both a two-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old stepdaughter. Their shared parenting journeys fuel their comedic content. “We often draw inspiration from the real-life challenges we face as moms. There’s certainly no lack of material,” Megan shared with me. Sometimes, a simple conversation about their kids sparks the idea for a new video. They create a mix of scripted content and improvised sketches, covering everything from the trials of sleepless nights to the hilarious aftermath of giving birth.
They truly embody the supportive mom friends we all wish we had, and while I may not appreciate the reminder that I’m transforming into my mother, their humor is undeniably relatable.
