“A Mom’s Dream” Serves as the Anthem for Tired Mothers Everywhere

“A Mom’s Dream” is a brilliant parody that resonates with every mother feeling the weight of exhaustion. We’ve all had those moments when our minds wander, reminiscing about a time before we had endless chores, toys scattered across the floor, and the constant prioritization of others’ needs over our own. It’s a universal feeling—it’s just part of being human.
The creative duo, Lisa and Mark, behind the YouTube channel The Thompson Family, have put their own spin on Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,” crafting an anthem that every weary mom can relate to.
“I can enjoy long showers if I want to, get my hair colored, and watch movies that I love.
I can have a moment alone in the bathroom, leave home whenever I please, and interact with other grown-ups.
When you call, I don’t have to shout – at my kids, I can hear you so well…
Laundry piles up again, life with kids is tough but hey, a mom can dream…”
In a note under the video, Lisa explains, “We understand that the long days are worthwhile, and one day—when the kids have flown the nest—we’ll be able to indulge in those little luxuries we miss.” However, some comments suggested that not all mothers appreciated the humor.
“This was nice, but it would have had a greater impact if it focused on childhood as a whole. The song leans too much toward romanticizing a disconnection from reality. Moms should think about how fleeting this phase is.”
Parenting is undoubtedly challenging. Back in the day, I didn’t have a blog to air my grievances on. We should cherish those children because time really does fly by.
Reading these comments is amusing, almost like hearing the adults from Charlie Brown—maah, maah, maah. It’s perfectly okay to poke fun at the tough aspects of motherhood; it’s what keeps us grounded. Long showers, a complete night’s sleep, spontaneous nights out, or a surprise haircut… a mom can dream!
