20 Tweets Every Mom Who Drives Can Relate To

Deciding to become a mom means signing up for lots of less than glamorous responsiblities: There are diapers to change, bottles to wash, and laundry. So. Much. Laundry. But who knew that being a mom would also mean so much time in the car? From braving the school drop-off lane to getting kids from soccer practice to swim lessons and then hitting the drive-through lane for some coffee, moms clock a lot of time behind the wheel.

From dealing with the dreaded car nap to using the car as a personal stage for some awesome carpool karaoke, a lot can happen in a minivan as these 20 super relatable Tweets show us! Scroll on for some funny Tweets that all moms who drive can relate to.

Deep Thoughts

All moms know this truth: There is nothing like the time spent driving kids around to free up the brain for thinking about life's most important questions. What should we have for dinner? Do I have time to stop for coffee? And, of course, what is Beyoncé up to these days?

Hot Mama

Being a mom doesn't mean the end of being sexy or hot, right? Nothing like driving around with some Megan Thee Stallion bumping on the stereo to get ready for some "Hot Girl Summer," even if there are some car seats in the back and the car is headed for the carpool lane!

Minivan Shaming

Let's get something straight: It is time for the minivan shaming to end! All moms who drive know that minivans exist for a reason — space and comfort. Anyone who has had to haul strollers and car seats and sports gear and diaper bags knows that a minivan can be a game changer.

Captive Audience

Experienced moms know this is true! The car is a great place for having tough conversations with older kids. Not only they are a captive audience, but the lack of eye contact (gotta keep those eyes on the road!) can make it less difficult to get vulnerable or embarrassed.

Mistakes Were Made

Oooh, no. Rookie mom mistake. Moms who drive a lot know that keeping control over the tunes is clutch when it comes to keeping their sanity behind the wheel. Nobody wants to struggle through rush hour listening to kid tunes on repeat.

Look!

It doesn't matter if it's a horse, a big digger, or an especially cute dog hanging out the back seat window of the next car over. Moms know they'd better not point it out unless there is enough time for all kids in the car to see or hearts will be broken!

Always Listening

Driving with little passengers is a really, REALLY good way to become aware of all the times it is tempting to swear while driving! Mom life means having to rock the "swearing under the breath" game when some dingdong cuts in traffic so it doesn't get repeated by a little tiny voice in the back seat.

Choose Carefully

All moms know that choosing the right toys for a car ride is a crucial decision. Nothing that spills. Nothing with tiny pieces. Nothing that lights up, makes noise, or will make the average adult bonkers if it plays for more than five minutes. Vary from those suggestions and pay the price.

Power

Here's a basic fact of driving life: She who controls the music controls the car! There are few things more annoying than when kids start fighting in the car, so whatever it takes to make peace in the back seat gets our vote of approval!

Driving Lessons

Being a mom and having to drive kids around is stressful, for sure. But being a mom and having to teach a kid to drive? That's stress times 100, right? A new driver is nerve-wracking, especially if that new driver is using mom's car!

Autopilot

Mom brain is real. Auto pilot is real. (Who hasn't experienced that feeling of driving somewhere and not having any memory of getting there?) Combining those two? Well, the odds of showing up at a day care center without any kids in the car goes up pretty dramatically.

Mom of the Year

Having to pay the "fun tax" when trying to create magical memories for kiddos is so dang relatable! Sometimes the only measure of a successful day is that a mom makes it through without losing her cool, throwing a shoe, or having to deal with a pee accident in the car.

Minivan Hate

Say it louder for the people in the back! Hating on minivans and mocking things that are associated with mom life is just plain sexist. Minivans are functional, and stuff that makes life better for moms is to be celebrated, not mocked!

Car Naps

The car nap: friend or foe? It's hard to find a mom who hasn't turned to the car in desperation when a child just won't take a dang nap, but it's also true that the instant sleep of a car ride might not turn into a decent nap, so there is always that element of risk.

Moving Dance Party

The car is a mobile restaurant, karaoke bar, and, yes, dance floor. There is something inherently fun about busting a mom move while driving, and if it happens to embarrass the 10-year-old in the car? Well, that's just a bonus in our book!

Car Seat Cardio

Just the thought of having to load a car seat into the back seat before a drive is enough to make a mom sweaty. Honestly, the struggle of getting a car seat safely and securely in the vehicle should count as a form of cardio! It is so important to do it right, but does it have to be so dang hard?

Sport Mom Life

When it comes to being a road warrior, it's hard to beat the sports mom. Driving to practice, driving to games, driving to pick up snacks and water bottles before practice — it all adds up. So why hasn't a portable car fridge been invented yet?

So Slow

A child will run everywhere, rush through brushing their teeth or combing hair, will eat snacks like a speed demon, and yet when it is time to get in or out of the car, suddenly move in slow motion. Why? And why does it get worse the more behind the schedule we're running?

Car Jams

A mom is a mom. But a mom is also a full human being who still wants to rock out to the jams that remind her of life before her car stereo was playing Kidz Bop all the dang time. An empty car, a great pair of sunglasses, and a little old school rap? Yes please!

Real Talk

Being a mom is amazing. But it is also hard as heck some days, and every mom needs a moment from time to time. So that means sometimes self-care might take the form of a long drive, a gas station snack, and a good old-fashioned car crying session.
