Chaotic Mothers Who Prove We Got It From Our Mommas

When you're young, you see your parents as simply your parents: two people who are devoted to raising you. As you get older, you realize that they are real people with real lives, just like you.

It's a cliché to believe that you're going to turn into your mom when you grow up, but in reality, our moms were the blueprint for our chaotic tendencies.

I may be a rude person who would turn the volume of something up to emphasize that I am ignoring someone, but trust me—I learned the technique from my mom.

I'm glad to know that thee fact that a woman's immediate response to dealing with a man's garbage is to put on "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo and have a solo dance party is an instinct that transcends generations.

If I was a bystander at this bar, I would be looking on in awe at this woman and maybe even taking notes because her execution was flawless. I need lessons on how to flirt from her.

I've heard a lot of women say that the birth of their child is a life-changing moment that you never forget, but clearly this mom's memory is a bit hazy because she can't even remember the date.

This woman really said "men are worthless," collected her things, and went through one of the most painful human experiences by herself. I wish I could harness that level of petty energy.

When they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, they mean that a girl is just as moody as her mama was, and you can see it all over both of their faces.

This woman thought, I don't want to hear my man's voice or even see him speaking in the chat! As someone who blocks a man the second they annoy me, I look up to her.

Here is one of the things I love about women: it doesn't matter what age they are—they will get drunk and befriend just about any woman in their proximity, and it's so wholesome.

It is always like a shock to the system when my mom casually mentions a past boyfriend and I'm forced to remember she dated people before my dad. Nice to know women were leaving men high and dry in the past too!

Naturally, this mother-daughter duo could simply admit defeat and go eat the meal they're both desperate for, but their mutual refusal to be proven wrong drives their determination. It's kind of beautiful.

I feel like the second every woman officially becomes a mom, they develop the ability to deliver a compliment that is simultaneously a devastating insult all in one quick phrase.

Daughters (especially teenage ones) are known to be sassy, a bit sensitive, and talk back, but who do you think they learned it from? Learning quips is merely part of the circle of life.
