Click through for the best quips, cartoons and one-liners about the funniest job around!

Motherhood is a journey like no other. There are diapers to change, dinners to cook and tears to dry. And sometimes managing it all seems impossible. But one way moms can do it all is with a little bit of humor and grace. Maybe that’s why there are so many mom jokes out there!

What are mom jokes?

We’ve all heard of dad jokes — those cheesy, punny (and sometimes funny) quips that abound on sitcoms and in real life. Mom jokes, on the other hand, highlight the humor in caring for kids and dealing with toddler tantrums, teenage eye rolls, mood swings and everything in between — and beyond! So grab your kiddos and be prepared to laugh way past their bedtime at these 26 mom jokes.
