25 Reasons Why a Mom Wants to Give the 'Mom Look'

We have all been there. You know, when you're about to lose your marbles.

The steam is coming out of your ears, and you wish it was OK to just scream. You may say some inappropriate words under your breath as you're about to look at your child.

You have had a long day of whys, whines and tantrums.

The last thing you want to hear has been said, and your mom patience has been thrown out the window.

Your cool is nowhere to be seen, and you wish you could calm down but there isn't enough wine to relax you.

You feel the anger flood through your body, and you never knew a pint-sized little person could get to you.

You hear words come out of your child's mouth that strike a chord. You turn and look at them and give "the mom look" before you even say a word.

The look where your eyes bug out of your head, your lips clench together, and your nose tweaks to one side.

You don't even know you are giving a look. But the look is words that you want to speak. Your child starts to know this look at a young age.

The look your own mother gave you when you were younger, and you swore you would never give that look to your children.

But now you do.

That one look is all you need. No words and your children know you mean business.

25 Reasons Why A Mom Wants To Give "The MOM Look"

"But Mom, I forgot how to do that"

"I'm too tired, I can barely walk"

"I forgot to brush my teeth"

"You are the meanest mom I have ever met"

"I don't like rules"

"NOOOOO!!!!!!"

"I hate this dinner"

"I don't like potatoes anymore"

"I used to like turkey sandwiches, now I don't"

"But Billy's mom lets him do it"

"I'm going to ask Dad"

"I HATE you"

"Why do I have to put the fork on the left side of the plate?"

"I don't understand"

"Nobody told me what that word meant"

"I don't get it"

"BUT MOM"

"Whhhhhyyyyy"

"You are making me mad"

"I don't understand you"

"What does talking back mean"

"I don't know how to"

"I don't know how it got there"

"I don't know where it goes"

"Why do I have to clean?"

Just for the record, this list could be another 100 sayings. I made it short and sweet. You get the point. Being a mom means you have to hear every excuse in the book, and I mean every excuse.

I think most of the time our children pretend more than just when they are playing with their Barbies.

Let's pretend...

I don't get it, know what to do, or know where anything goes in the house.

I'm going to act like I can't hear.

I never saw the crumbs on the floor I just spilled.

Oh "ME"? I didn't do that.

We love our children, but sometimes they can get under our skin.

We may have already had a bad day, and this is just the cherry on top!
