Why Is Motherhood So Hard?
40 Times Moms Take a Face Palm

Motherhood presents many moments where all you can do is slap your forehead with the palm of your hand and say, "Are you kidding me?" Call it mommy brain or simply blame having too many distractions; I'm pretty sure it happens to most of us daily (if not several times a day). Just yesterday I took my son to the dermatologist and somehow among all my efforts to keep him behaving I also totally forgot to ask the one question that I made the appointment for in the first place. Cue palm to face. Simply put: motherhood can make you feel like you're absolutely losing it, which is why we can all relate to these hilarious face-palm moments.
