Mums are very hard working individuals. Not many people can say that their workload is on par with a mum’s. With all of the motherly responsibilities and daily chores to boot, it’s crazy to think that mums can still find the time to get a good night’s rest.
Well…get a good night’s rest sometimes. Other times (most times), mums are left wishing they got just a little bit more sleep. Mums who don’t get enough sleep, just like anyone else, aren’t always at the top of their game. Everyone’s human and we all make mistakes, that applies to mums as well.
BuzzFeed recently took the time to ask their in-house mums to share some of the funniest and most ridiculous things that they’ve done while completely exhausted from life as a mummy. The results are sidesplittingly funny!
The Funniest Things Overworked Mums Have Done:
1. “I walked out to my car and strapped my son into his car seat before I realized that I didn’t have pants on.”
