If only you could tap into the thoughts swirling around in a mom’s mind—what a revelation that would be! We love our carpool buddies, appreciate the helpful clerk at the convenience store, and sometimes feel like we’re picking up after husbands who can’t seem to locate the hamper, dishwasher, or even the toilet! And let’s not even get started on the things we hold back from saying to our kids. Here are 10 candid thoughts that many moms have but rarely voice aloud (until they do):
- You’re my favorite right now.
Sure, you are my favorite at this very moment. But don’t get too comfy; earlier today I was all about your sister when you were wide awake at 5:45 a.m., and she was still snoozing. We all have our moments of favoritism, and it usually reflects our mood rather than any real preference.
- Can you really be that clueless?
Sometimes, we just can’t wrap our heads around what we’re witnessing. Be it an ill-advised leap from the dresser to the toddler bed or a question that makes us go, “Really?” we’ve all been there, staring in disbelief at our little ones.
- You little rascal!
Fill in the blank with whatever term of endearment comes to mind. Just know it’s probably not “sweetie” or “darling.” Don’t worry; only the haloed angel on your shoulder is judging you for it.
- I’m outta here!
Some of us have actually voiced this sentiment more than once—maybe even daily! Motherhood can be a rough gig. Thankfully, there are those sweet moments like the first day of school or a weekend at Grandma’s. Just remember, soon enough they’ll be grown and gone.
- I’m just too exhausted for this today.
Waking up at 4 a.m. is for emergency room doctors, not moms! We don’t have the luxury of sleeping in that extra hour. Kids, can we please agree on a 6 a.m. wake-up call?
- Why can’t you be more like your cousin?
We all know we shouldn’t compare our kids to one another, but let’s be honest—stressful times can make us crack. And yes, sometimes we can’t help but wonder why our child isn’t as perfect as their peer, even though we know deep down that every child has their quirks.
- Your morning breath is something else!
We’ve all had morning breath, but a three-year-old in your face reciting the ABCs at 4 a.m. is a whole different beast! Where’s the rooster when you need him?
- Get your own snacks, kid!
Can’t we enjoy our food in peace? Kids seem to think that everything on our plate is up for grabs. Next time they poke at your sandwich, channel your inner lioness and growl a little!
- I want my mom!
No matter how old you get, when chaos reigns—like milk spilling everywhere and dinner burning—you still yearn for your own mother. Sometimes, a little Xanax in mom form would be ideal.
- Just go to sleep already!
That one speaks for itself.
Despite everything we think but don’t say, it’s crucial to remember that kids pick up on what we say and do. So think before you speak!
