Motherhood is funny. Which is why, over the last six months, I’ve started making funny motherhood memes to share on my Facebook fan page.
This has been a unique challenge for me. I like words, not making graphics that are visually appealing and likely to be shared because they look awesome-sauce. As well, I like LOTS of words, which doesn’t translate so much when concocting funny motherhood memes.
I’ve enjoyed some highs: some memes, like my one about Lunchables, have struck a chord and been shared thousands of times. I hit a new low, though, when someone cropped out all my identifying information and shared it without giving me credit (Really, who ARE these people?)
The reality, too, is that 19 out of 20 memes make a few people chuckle and then disappear into oblivion.
But, rejection is good for the soul! At least that’s what I tell my children.
I digress.
Without further adieu, here are some of my most-loved funny motherhood memes. May they make you smile!
To end, I’d like to give a shout out to Meredith over at Perfection Pending. She wrote a great book for bloggers about building your community on Facebook. I wouldn’t have started making my funny motherhood memes and sending them out into the world for adoration or complete rejection without her book.
Don’t forget to like my Facebook page where I debut my funny motherhood memes first. Plus, I share a lot of great memes from other funny mothers and sites. We have a fun time!
Love these!! Memes are on my top 10 favorite things right now.
Glad you liked them! Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂

Why would they take them and cut out your info!? It’s so easy to just repost and give credit! #GlobalBlogging
You’d think so, right? I have no idea why people would try and steal a random, funny thought –and then share it as their own?
Thanks for stopping by.
Who doesn’t love a good meme! I definitely agree about the self-checkout tills. They’re designed to cause mental breakdowns, I’m certain of it!! #GlobalBlogging
I agree. Funny thing, some people spoke up when I posted this on Facebook that they never have trouble and what was I talking about. LOL, those are NOT my kinda people!
Memes make my heart happy! <3
Lunchables for Moms, for the win! Sign me up.
Thanks for the giggles. #happynowlinkup

Don’t those type of Lunchables just sound amazing?!
I’ll take two dozen of those lunchables, please.
After you consult with me about the best Lunchables wine pairings, of course!

Great job! I hate meme stealers. I had someone filch mine and then it got shared by Reece Witherspoon and the thief got all the credit!!! >:(

Rabia, NOOOOOOO. My Lunchables one was cropped and shared on a page that had 65,000 likes. The page, not my meme. Someone from one of my blogging groups on Facebook actually went after her, tagging me, and told her to give me credit and she refused! I was both touched by someone defending me, and also flabbergasted that the other person flat-out didn’t give me credit and continued using the cropped version.

I love them all!!! Whatchu talking bout Willis made me laugh so hard. I”m sure my 10 year old would do the same!

Hah, these are hilarious! I’m not a mom myself but I have a lot of kids in my life so I can sometimes feel the “pain” if you will. 🙂

It makes me happy to no end that you get my Diff’rent Strokes ref!
My absolute favorite was the “lunchables” one.. These are hilarious! Thanks for sharing! #globalblogging
Omg every single one of these are HILARIOUS!!!!! I liked your page forever ago, but I need to FOLLOW it so I can actually see what your posting. I’m off now…
And yeah, Meredith is BOSS.
“Rejection is good for the soul!” I’m going to have to remember that one.

I love these, the Hallmark Channel is especially my favorite! I can’t wait for one of my girls to say that.
It was a proud moment for me, for sure! We watched all the Hallmark Christmas movies this year. 🙂
I’ve just started making memes and it never crossed my mind that someone would steal them!! OMG! I notice that you now add a watermark…just when I thought I’d got something cracked, I have to go back to the drawing board again aarrgghh!! I’ve also discovered, from reading these comments, that fans have to not only ‘like’ your page but ‘follow’ it to be able to see any of your posts!! Something else I thought I’d cracked! I was 51 last week and only started blogging/FB/Pinterest/Instagram last year…up until then me and technology were only on polite nodding terms! It’s a very steep learning curve but I’m holding on tight, trying not to scream too loudly when things go wrong (or throw my computer out the window) and enjoying the ride 🙂 Thanks

Hi there, I think you’re doing fine. It’ll all work out. I’m not sure about your comment about liking and following. I think we’re talking about Facebook. Anyone who likes my page can see the things I post in their feed. However, FB is silly. It won’t ALWAYS show your stuff to EVERYONE who likes your page. They have algorithms. That’s why I usually post things at least twice, because it will get seen by entirely different people. Plus, FB really wants us all to pay to boost our posts. I can’t afford that!
Hope that helps. I started modernizing and putting my blog out there in 2012. It was a fast and furious year. I was proud for learning so much, but also exhausted and worried all the time about the tech stuff. But we’re doing it!

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, it was FB I was referring to re: likes & follows. I hadn’t thought about posting things twice so thanks for that tip. I agree with you; I too am proud of what I’ve achieved in a year – going from someone who used the computer merely for word processing to writing a blog with four social media accounts…phew! It is exhausting though, depending on whose advise you take: Meta, Stats, alt text, webinars, embed, pingback the list goes on. I’m taking it one step at a time, I think it’s important to not take on too much at the same time. And enjoy it. Always enjoy it or what’s the point? Thanks again 🙂
