6 Most Embarrassing Things For Any Mom
As moms, we always strive to maintain our “mom coolness” and stay on top of the trends that make parenting a little easier. Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go according to plan—and suddenly, you find yourself in one of those embarrassing situations where all you can do is laugh (or cry). From falling asleep while your kids are playing to wearing something totally out-of-date on picture day—here are 6 of the most embarrassing experiences any mom could possibly have!
Accidentally calling your child by the wrong name
Accidents can happen to the best of us, particularly for mommy-brain-influenced instances such as mixing up your children's names. It's never intentional, but when a mom accidentally calls her child by the wrong name, it always results in a funny situation. Whether mom immediately corrects herself or there's a brief silence before laughter ensues, this hilariously embarrassing incident usually has mom red in the face - and with a reminder to double-check before she speaks.
Believing in Santa Claus far longer than necessary
Believing in Santa Claus far longer than necessary is something that happens to everyone at least once. I remember when I was twelve and mom accidentally let it slip that there was no such thing as Santa. I just rolled my eyes, smiled politely, and pretended nothing happened. After all, if mom wanted to keep up the illusion of the jolly old man flying around on a sleigh delivering presents by himself then who was I to burst her bubble? Who knew mom had some serious dedication to maintaining the annual Christmas magic? Still, after she let me in on insider knowledge everything started clicking together. Elves who worked 24/7? C'mon, mom, you can do better than that!
Making a big deal out of nothing
Being a mom comes with a lot of responsibility, and it can lead to moms making mountains out of molehills. Whether there is potential danger lurking around every corner, or the worry that something bad might happen just because it’s possible, moms are usually the first ones to sound the alarm. Fortunately, some moms see their paranoid tendencies as an opportunity for humor. There’s nothing funnier than watching an otherwise chill mom releases her inner drama queen when it comes to something as small as her kid losing a hat or spilling juice on the floor. With moms like this around us, we can always count on a little comic relief whenever one of these completely unwarranted hysterics breaks out!
Not understanding the latest trends and technology
It's pretty funny watching moms attempt to keep up with the latest trends and technology. Whether it's trying to decode the most recent lingo used by the younger generations or attempting to understand why those same millennials are always glued to their phones, moms' hilarious confusion is certainly a universal phenomenon! At times, moms might feel like they're falling behind on these new technologies, but as long as you do your best to stay informed and have patience for all that is unfamiliar, any mom can keep up with the times!
Sending your kids to school with strange lunches or clothing
Moms everywhere can relate to this common mistake, where it's 7:30 am and you just realized your child is going to school with a lunch full of things they've never seen before or even worse, crazy clothing choices. You only have a few minutes to get them ready and out of the door so you just kinda cross your fingers, send them off, and hope for the best. The moms that find themselves in this situation can take comfort in the fact that they aren't alone! We've all been there. And honestly, who cares? We aren't perfect!
Having an uncanny ability to embarrass your kids in public
As moms, we all know our kids think they're the cutest things ever. So when they do something totally ridiculous and embarrassing in public, it's hard not to laugh. When moms get in on the act and make a scene that matches their children's, every piece of awkwardness is just too much to bear. It's like we reach down into our mom's intuition and draw out the perfect moment to make sure our child looks as ridiculous as possible for all to witness. These moments may be mortifying for our kids, but it’s funny for us moms who know better!
Despite the many embarrassing moments moms share, which make us laugh and cringe at the same time, there is nothing that can take away from our love for our children. Moms are some of the most hardworking and selfless individuals in the world who deserve all of the recognition, love, and patience we can give them. When mistakes happen, we can simply remember to smile and move forward! At the end of it all, moms still remain the biggest support system both emotionally and physically.
