Serena Williams Asked Moms to Share Their Crazy Stories & You Won't Even BELIEVE the Replies

Kids humble us. The other day on a flight home Olympia insisted on running up and down the aisle and when I finally got her to sit still, she threw up all over me. #ThisMama would love to hear your stories of motherhood.. even ones like this! Share and tag them with #ThisMama. pic.twitter.com/9N5duB2M3t

My daughter and I planted some seeds together, hoping to grow flowers. I went outside to water them and told her to watch. She locked the sliding glass door on me. #ThisMama got locked out of the house by her two year old

When my child was a toddler, #thismama got dressed up for a very rare night out with friends. As soon as we got to the sitter’s front door, my girl vomited. #thismama cleaned up the vomit, and took my baby back home. But I gets so much better. Hang in there @serenawilliams https://t.co/y3iOdfsRcj

Pooped in the bath yesterday- with the biggest smile on her face😭🤦🏻‍♀️. Being a mom is no joke, biggest challenge and the highest level of rewarding possible. Wouldn’t change a thang! #ThisMama pic.twitter.com/8GCFZj2wXf

The other day I made my 7yo daughter close her eyes while I fed her a banana chip.

When she chewed it up, she asked excitedly what it was and I said... a cockroach.

I couldn’t help myself.

Every day with both my daughters is a miracle.#ThisMama https://t.co/4Ap5aj1CWc

Love your ❤️. Ur a wonderful mother! My story: Thug the Younger was two, family on overnight flight to France. He's the only one on plane fully awake. Attendant offers a sip of wine to help him sleep. He spends next eight hours screaming "WINE". #ThisMama

Flying alone with 3yo and 2mo (in front carrier). Crammed us all in airplane bathroom and put 3yo on toilet; he started to cry. Crouched down to ask what’s wrong. He projectile vomited onto baby’s head, down carrier, all over me. #makesagoodstory #thismama

Never hold a boy with no Pampers on over your head looking up. They pee in your mouth. #ThisMama

When my son was 5-1/2, we were at a play, and just as intermission ended he told me he didn't feel good. As the lights went down, he leaned over and threw up in my lap. Stunned, I told him we had to leave and he said, "Why?" #ThisMama

One of my sons used to ‘paint’ with his own poo. He would wake from a nap, totally silent, remove his diaper & finger paint all over his toys and cover the wheels of his toy cars in poo, then make poo tracks all over his cream walls. Be thankful for a little vomit 😉 #thismama

Then there was the time I was interviewed by the police on suspicion of being a drug dealer, because my six year old had taken some homeopathic white powder ‘wraps’ to school & given to his friends. When asked what they were he said “people come to our house & buy them” #thismama

Borrowed my dad’s truck. Put daughter in the back. She spilled her RED drink ALL OVER the back seat. I pulled over. Got her out of the truck. She was crying hard. I’m consoling her. She barfs ALL OVER ME. Cries more. Covered in barf, I pick her up. She pees her pants. #ThisMama

I once breastfed my baby while leading a graduate student meeting & she then promptly had a poop-explosion that even soaked MY pants. #ThisMama #parenthood #MultitaskingLikeABoss

Absolutely love the #ThisMama conversation, because the memories do not go away. I asked my child (under the age of 4) why did you use that naughty language - with utter embarrassment at the profanity and zeal. With no expression she replied, “I got all the words from you.”

#ThisMama held her 3 y/o tight while she had a meltdown at a science museum and sat there while she screamed very publicly for what felt like forever.

Three different women stopped to say “hang in there” and “you’re a good mom” #ThisMama is thankful for kindness of other mamas. https://t.co/bjagVMVal9

pointed under my cart which was so full you couldn't see the bottom my niece got under the basket covering her mouth to not laugh hiding from me she was about 3 or 4 years old then I was about to call 911 when that customer tapped me on the shoulder and pointed down 🤗

My daughter loved to take everything out of the pantry & put it all back in. #ThisMama came back in the room to her looking like this & the 3 minutes it took me to figure out she’d gotten into the red food coloring & wasn’t bleeding profusely were the longest 3 minutes of my life pic.twitter.com/eRvmEGlQFD

At about the same age my mother walked in on me sitting on the bathroom sink holding my father's razor, covered in red liquid. She avoided the heart attack when she found the empty bottle of Mercurochrome on the floor.

You haven't experienced the full joy of motherhood until you've been asked to leave the mall because your three-year-old's tantrum is upsetting the other shoppers.#IdRatherTheVomit #ThisMama

On my 32nd birthday, my 2.5 mos old son and I went to my mom’s house for the day. I nursed him then put him on my shoulder to burp. Turned my head to check the burp cloth to see if he had spit up, and he turned his head and spit up into my mouth. Happy birthday to me. #ThisMama

I took my kids to work with me every day. My husband and I would discuss work at home. One day my oldest walked around the office and told one of my employees “my mommy is going to fire you”. From that day on we talked in code words. #ThisMama

When my son was a baby my friend told me your son knows how to escape his crib? I asked her why what's up? She said the other day I knocked on your door and the door knocked back. Then I knocked again and it knocked back but no one opened the door.😂😂#ThisMama

@ThisMama The deal was: I breastfed one night, Dad gave the bottle of breastmilk the next. One night, when I checked on them, Dad had fallen asleep while feeding her and the baby had fallen from his arms and rolled under the bed where #ThisMama found her sleeping soundly

I tried to do the potty training in one day thing with my toddler son. I gave him lots to drink and fruit snacks as a reward when he peed in the toilet. He ended up peeing and vomiting everywhere. I decided I could live with 2 kids in diapers a little longer. #ThisMama
