I found myself at a bar recently with some friends, and I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is the text on this menu so tiny? I need a magnifying glass just to see it! And why is it so dimly lit? It’s as if they don’t want anyone to order anything!” Yup, I’m officially becoming my mother.
It’s a relatable experience for many of us: one moment you’re enjoying a peaceful day, and the next, you catch yourself saying, “It’s so noisy in here, I can’t even think!” My mom had her own set of sayings that used to drive me crazy, and now I find myself echoing them. Just the other day, I told my kids that their room was a “total disaster zone.” Not my proudest moment, but I can’t help but resonate with that recent video about how we all morph into our mothers.
The Parenting Chronicles
Laurel, Megan, and Rachel are the creative minds behind the YouTube channel, The Parenting Chronicles. These talented writers and comedians, all based in Los Angeles, have their own parenting journeys. They met long before kids came into the picture while performing improv in Chicago. Now, they’re all navigating motherhood together, and it has inspired a treasure trove of humorous content.
Megan has a three-year-old son, Laurel is raising an almost two-year-old, and Rachel has a two-year-old daughter alongside a 13-year-old stepdaughter. Their shared experiences are goldmines for comedy. “We draw inspiration from the everyday challenges of being moms. There’s always something new to talk about,” Rachel shared. “Sometimes one of us will mention a new parenting challenge, and we’ll realize it could turn into a fantastic video.” They have crafted over 50 amusing videos that range from debates about what it means to “sleep through the night” to a comical rap about the wild post-birth experiences, and even heartfelt discussions about shows like Thomas & Friends.
They truly embody the supportive mom friends we all wish we could have. While I might not have needed the reminder that I’m turning into my mother, it’s undeniably funny. It’s funny yet a little sad, too.
