14 Funny Mother's Day Quotes

by Chelsey Grasso

Moms know how to have a good time, and that includes having the ability to laugh at themselves. These 14 funny Mother's Day quotes are great to share with your mama if you know she's got a golden sense of humor (and chances are, if she made it through motherhood with a smile on her face, she does).

While these quotations have some sass to them, there really is no getting away from the fact that moms are amazing. Yes, they might get on your nerves from time to time and seem to know exactly how to push your buttons on occasion, but when it comes down to it, there's no one else like them in the world — and I mean that in the best way possible.

And on the other side of things, which these quotes cover as well, are the difficulties of being a mother, too. That's right, you're not exactly that perfect little angel of a child all the time, are you? However, on the same note, even if these quotes poke fun at the challenges of being a mom, you know there's likely nothing else that your mother would rather be.
