Parenting can be a whirlwind, and we all know the struggle is real. Inspired by the charmingly relatable sentiment of “Ain’t nobody got time for that,” here’s a light-hearted look at the realities moms face every day. Let’s dive in!
- Washing hands while singing “Happy Birthday” twice? By the time I hit the second line, my little one is already exploring the snack aisle at the grocery store.
- Shopping has transformed! Gone are the leisurely strolls through stores—thank you, Amazon.com!
- Bikram yoga for 90 minutes? No thanks, I can sweat just by chasing my kids.
- Blow-drying my hair? Honestly, who’s really looking at the back of my head anyway?
- Clipping nails on little ones? I’ll just wait until they come out with scratches on their faces—ain’t nobody got time for that!
- Massages sound heavenly, but when was the last time I had one?
- Costco on a holiday? Just… no.
- Oil changes? Is that light still on? I’ll get to it… eventually.
- Getting socks on toddlers? It’s like preparing for a marathon.
- Speeding tickets? Hey, we were in a rush for a reason, right?
- Trying on clothes? Who has time for that? Online shopping it is!
- Small talk at school drop-off? Let’s skip to the good stuff, shall we?
- Getting sick? That’s not an option for moms. No time for puking or any kind of illness.
- Watching TV while lounging? More like multitasking with laundry and lunch prep.
- Hangovers? Kids don’t care about your last night out. “Milk NOW, Mommy!”
- Drama? Sure, we could indulge, but once you have kids, ain’t nobody got time for that!
- Anything that starts with “gourmet” or ends with “from scratch” is off the table.
- Sewing? Nope, that’s what the dry cleaners are for!
- Cleaning out the car? What’s the point? It’s a lost cause.
- Creating photo albums? We capture the moments but organizing them? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
- Makeup? Just to wash it off later? Really?
- Waxing? We all have those moments where we think, “When did that happen?!”
- Teacher conferences for preschoolers? “He colors well?” Great, let’s get him into college then! (But sarcasm? Always time for that.)
- Marathon training? Who has three hours on the weekend for a practice run when sleep is more appealing?
- Bento boxes? Ain’t nobody got time for that level of compartmentalization.
- Jury duty? There should be an option that says, “I’m a mom.”
- Car troubles? Oh no, that’s like the end of the world.
- Phone troubles? I’d trade that for car issues any day.
- Boo-boos? When they’re little, we fuss, but by the time they’re older, it’s just, “Here’s a Band-Aid, kiddo!”
- And finally, sex? Enough said.
