Updated: Apr. 22, 2024
Being a mom is a joy. But there's also PLENTY to laugh at, and that's what these mom memes are for.
LOL, Mom! Share these mom memes to make her laugh
Being a mom is the absolute best, but it’s also like running a marathon—super long and challenging. Fortunately, you’re part of a tribe of humans who understand the specific frustrations, tasks and hilarity you go through every day. Thanks to social media, your mom tribe is always nearby and ready to laugh with you when you need it most. These funny mom memes will help you perfectly capture the good, the bad and the utterly exhausting aspects of mom life.
And don’t forget your own mom. She’s been through it herself, so she’d get a kick out of these memes too. Along with your Mother’s Day gift this year, share a mom meme or two—maybe print one out for your Mother’s Day card to make the day extra funny and special.
So, read on for some of the best (and giggle-worthy) mom memes ever! And remember, nothing says love like a little humor.

Found you, Mom
Feel like your kids have some kind of “mom detector”? Play hide and seek on Mother’s Day to put their skills to the test.
Normal is overrated
Share this meme if life with your mom is never boring! There are mom memes, and then there are dad jokes. Pick your poison.
They can just tell
The first few instants after a kid falls asleep are so tenuous. Here’s a great Mother’s Day idea: give your mom some time to herself.
Mini-me
Wait, was I like that as a kid?! Read through these funny parenting stories for some serious side-splitting humor.
Where could it be?!
No candy stash is safe from mom.
Hear no evil?
It’s *too quiet*! Moms, you might also be able to relate to these hilarious working from home memes.
Also the best part, though
Who would’ve thought?!
Hold, please
Maybe then I’ll have a free moment. Get your mom crying this year with these beautiful Mother’s Day songs.

No sudden movements!
Fun with the kiddos
What even is personal space?
It’s the little things
You think a tropical getaway is the pinnacle of calm—until you have young kids.
A constant cycle

Never a dull moment
Hey, they never said it would be tranquil.
Impeccable timing
This is one of those mom memes that are a bit too true for our liking.
Why is it so hard?!
It’s—still—stuck!
I feel your pain
Soldier on, comrade.

How refreshing
Bonus: You don’t have to pay anything!
No means what?
And on and on it goes.
Pro parenting tip(?)
TOTALLY the same. Maybe you can try some of these Mother’s Day movies this year.
Where’d all the money go?
Sure, you knew kids would be costly, but sometimes it really can feel like this.
Give mom a break
The kicker: when they walk right past Dad sitting on the couch to get to you.
You don’t know the struggle
The jury’s out on which is more treacherous.
Oh good, they’re all here
Parenting will get easier … right?! We have plenty more wholesome memes where this came from.
A moment alone?!
I am READY to hit Costco.
Guilty pleasures
What they don’t know won’t hurt them.
An art form
Is walking in a straight line too much to ask?
Who is the real winner here?
Let’s see how long this will last.
A walking CVS
Goldfish in one pocket, fruit gummies in another and cookies in your purse.
Ears like elephants
How can they possibly hear all the crinkling wrappers?
Beautiful
This mom meme brings up a fond and distant memory.
What changed?
Someone explain.
Please no
But what about naps for Mom?
Where’s my paycheck?
Being a mother is a full-time job.
Battle scars
Exhaustion doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Is this a joke?
A few more minutes feels like a few more years.
Hallelujah!
How many children’s birthday parties can you really attend?
Soup’s on!
You have to do what you have to do.
Please no
Maybe it’s time for a name change.
#MomLife
My aura of exhaustion says more than words ever could. Sounds like Mom deserves one of these thank you memes along with a mom meme.
Don’t touch
Maybe a little reverse psychology is needed here.
Leftovers
