Mom life is a beautiful thing. It’s also hectic, stressful, exhausting, and sometimes worthy of tears. But whether those are tears of joy or anguish, we can all appreciate some comic relief. Memes are great, but when a picture doesn’t say it all, usually a GIF can. With or without subtitles, these soundless moving images bring humor, compassion, and a sense of camaraderie. The best parenting GIFS help remind us that no matter what the daily struggles, we’re all in this together and can relate to each other’s varied mommy moments. And that from pregnancy to the carpool line, toddler tantrums to teenager eye-rolls, we moms need and deserve a good laugh from time to time.
