When I got pregnant with my first kid, I just knew I was going to be the perfect mom. The most kind, patient, crafty, cupcake-baking, play-date-scheduling, clean-house-keeping mom on earth.
And then I gave birth.
And the universe laughed it's ass off at me as I fumbled through motherhood. Lost my temper. Burnt my cupcakes. Let the house fall into utter chaos. So here is a video I made poking fun at the mom I thought I would be vs. the mom I am … in the morning. They’re slightly different, LOL. Enjoy!
PS- The kind folks at Bundoo.com liked this video so much they sponsored it. How nice is that?! Bundoo is a fabulous website that answers all of your burning parenting questions. Even the ones you're too mortified to say out loud!
PPPS- Join me on Facebook! We have fun, fun, fun!
LOL! Great video. Oddly, the thing that caught my eye was at :50 I noticed that the hinge pin on the door behind you needs to be tapped down; your doorstop is loose…
(Sadly, WAY too much Ace Hardware in my blood…)
Ha! I’ll get my husband right on it 🙂
Why do you wear yoga pants so much its kinda weird do you always wear them on everyday basis
My exact morning. EXACT.
But more importantly, where did you get those Conair beauties? I haven’t seen hot curlers like than since my mom used them in 1988.
Old skool … that’s how I roll. I actually use those ALL THE TIME.
“how you roll”… hehee! That’s punny 🙂
😉
You crack my shit up! Can we be best friends? You have pretty hair.
YES! Because you are the most glam blogger on earth and we MUST be BFFs!
I doing get it (?.?)
GO! GO! GOOOOOO!!!!
🙂
Hi Deva!
I absolutely love your blogs!! As a mom of 5, I can most definite relate to you on so many levels and I love how you add humor to it! 😉 I was wondering if u would consider captioning (adding texts) to your videos as I am Deaf myself. I would love to be able to understand your videos. If your blogs are good, then I can only imagine your videos are just as good if not better! 😉
Thanks so much for the consideration!
Brandy Hayes
Hi Brandy! I love that idea! I will absolutely do some captioned versions! It may take me a bit to make it happen, but I will. My Kids Say video does have the lyrics on it if you haven’t seen that one:

And here are the lyrics to the Let It Go one: https://mylifesuckers.com/let-it-go-mom-parody-lyrics-dalporto/
Thanks for the suggestion!
PS- Brandy the video I just did I added the script at the bottom of the post: https://mylifesuckers.com/video-i-have-a-dirty-little-secret-and-you-do-too/
Love, love! 4 kids later and I’m still doing this with my youngest who is in high school. Only 2 more years to go. Whee!
You’re almost there! Whoo hoo!
hahahahah Every.Fricken.Day! 😀 Thanks for the laughs!
Well, thanks for laughing 🙂
This, as all of your blog posts, is dead on and AWESOME!!! Thank you for your wonderful since of humor!!! It definitely makes motherhood more tolerable to know there are sistas out there going through the same things!!!
Thank you for the kind words, Paige. I so appreciate it!!!! Yes, us sistas gotta stick together! 🙂
This is funny as hell! Steph at Crazy meets Exhaustion sent me over 🙂
Thank you! I love Steph!!!! That’s so nice of her. Welcome to MyLifeSuckers 🙂
Thanks for the giggles…. as we were watching it… when it came to the “real” part, my four year old said “Hey, just like us!”
Get Dressed seems to be my morning mantra!
Keep them coming!
So happy you liked it. And LOL about your 4yo. 🙂
Shoot at least you make eggs. Mine get cereal in the morning. Lol. But so true!!!
🙂
Lol.. Mine get Peanut butter and Jelly… BahBam… you have your fruit and your protein in seconds!
🙂
I LOVE YOU for this video!!!!!! You really made my day!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
GAH!!!! Thank you Renata!!!
Instead of FairyGodmother/MaryPoppins we are DrillSergeant/Ursulas. I not only thought I’d be the perfect mom, I thought I’d still be cool and awesome and would know how to “kick it” with my girls on our nights out –those rare occasions when I escape the nuthouse. Somehow I feel like, even after trying to spruce myself up, I’m a fraud covered in baby schmutz and completely lost my ability to hold a normal adult conversation. Sexy ain’t coming back. Momdom is here to stay. (slightly off topic but a mini therapy session nonetheless)
LOL… all too true. I am embarrassing to my 16 year old son while I am the best mom, pretty mom etc.. in my 8 year old twin boys’ eyes. So I guess I will take what I can get…
So very true, JT! Once a mom, always a mom.
LOL… I relate to this all too much. It is my EVERY school morning… oh and Sunday mornings are not so easy either… that is when my husband is added to the mix. I am always saying ,”I am supposed to be at the church at 9:30 to practice singing the songs we are supposed to sing this morning!” When do you think we are pulling out of the driveway ? 9:29… LOL.. Never ending crazy around my house
Yep! We live a block from school and we’re ALWAYS late.
Still laughing! I did most of those this morning. I’ll show my kids your video tonight so they know we’re not the only “normal” family. Thanks for your humor!!!
You’re welcome! Yes, my kids always say, “Mom, you sound like your video.” And I’m like, “No, the video sounds like me!”
So pleased to know I’m not the only one. I’m considering learning the phrase, “Get dressed” in other languages, hoping to at least add some variety to our morning routine. sigh..xo
Great idea! Make it educational!
I’ve said those exact words… shoes, backpack, go, go, gooo..!!! The only thing that gets my kids dressed is that they aren’t allowed to eat until they are ready for school (backpack packed, dressed, hair brushed etc.) my husband actually carried my daughter to the bus last year while she screamed I want an appppplllllle. Cruel, absolutely….! but now she’s dressed in time to eat!
Smart!
Haha! You should homeschool, it would save you all that morning rushing 🙂
I’m sure I’d fail at a homeschool morning too 🙂
Story of my life!!! And quite hilarious too!
Thank you 🙂
We all have such lofty aspirations, don’t we??
I do for sure!
Love this!
Thank you!
And this is why my daughter does pm kindergarten this year! She doesn’t have to get on the bus til noon! I figured I should enjoy my last year of sleeping in while I can. Is it particularly bad that it’s 10:30 and both of my girls are still watching tv on their own in the living room while I hang out in my bed? Normally we go do something around now,but we have nowhere to go and I just want to be lazy. Moms deserve that sometimes, right?
ENJOY IT!!!! And yes, you deserve it.
For a minute, I thought you had put a hidden camera in my house! ROFL!! But seriously. Thanks for making me feel a little more “normal.” 😉
This is me to a T…this was so good!
Hi, Deva! First and foremost, these are the most amazing videos! Absoutely brilliant! Your songs are terrific! Thank you for making them and sharing them!
Watching your videos, I am fortunately laughing out loud more than sniffling. My goodness how you have “hit the nail on the head”! I could comment on each video (which is why you need to make more since I’ve now seen all of them) but the make-up one was priceless. I was one to ALWAYS wash my hair everyday and put make-up on, earings and a watch. I felt naked if I didn’t. Since having a child, I have sometimes left the house without doing any of that. I’ve put my head under the kitchen sink and just wet my hair and combed it back. And then, to my horror, once we are in the car, I suddenly realize I am not even wearing earings and think, my goodness! Some mornings my daughter (pre-school and they start at 9AM) tries to get into my makeup while I am in the shower and frankly has gone to school a few times with makeup on because I had to choose my battle (get ready myself or put a quick, light smudge of blush, lipstick and eyeshadow on her).
Children sometimes wake up in the morning cranky! They don’t want to get up, they don’t want to get dressed, they don’t want to eat, they don’t want to go to school and to get over each of those hurdles … well, you do a FANTASTIC job of making parodies out of those very “challenging” moments in our parenting lives. Everyday is not the same, of course, but … well, it is good to have the chance to at least laugh about it through your videos and see you aren’t alone.
Love this video. I only got 1 life sucker, but I don’t even attempt to put on make up anymore. I always end up looking like an idiot. hahaha.
LOL – meeee too 🙂 Thank you for the love!
I had the worst day today so I thought I would watch ALL of your videos. It’s making me feel so much better! I’m not the only one!
Oh my gosh – that is awesome!!! It makes me so happy to hear my videos could brighten your day. xo, Deva
