Becoming a parent is one of the most life-changing experiences a person can have. But let’s face it, parenthood doesn't come with a handbook, and most people have absolutely no idea what they're getting into. People suddenly find themselves on a wild roller coaster ride filled with countless surprises (mostly bodily fluids, right?), unexpected challenges, and little to no recognition. But even when kids test their patience and don’t leave much fuel in their tanks, most moms and dads wouldn’t change a thing.
What they would do is share hilarious tales about the ups and downs of this whole adventure with everyone online. Thankfully, Dana from Jacksonville, Florida, understands the struggle and provides a safe space for fellow mothers and wives to describe their entertaining and oh-so-relatable mishaps, fears, and triumphs.
Dana runs a blog and an Instagram account called 'Millennial Mom Confessions' where she navigates motherhood "one clueless choice at a time" and inspires others to join her in this journey. We at Bored Panda have gathered some of the best posts, jokes, and memes from her feed to lift up your spirits and share a few laughs.

Lastly, Holly stressed that parenting can be both the most wonderful time in your life and the most challenging. "And it's perfectly normal for it to be both! It's also okay to admit that it's hard! Surround yourself with positive influences and media that make you feel good during this time. If something makes you feel worse, it's not for you. Your journey is nothing like anyone else's and it will never look Instagram perfect. Many people will share their highlights reel, so find people that allow you to be you and share the good, the bad and the messy moments too," she concluded.
