I have five kids, so it’s that time of day where I need to scroll through reels and TikTok to find a video that matches each of their professions or likes or pet peeves and send them at least one to let them know I love them… #MomofGenZers

I have no idea how you’re able to afford to feed five kids with the grocery prices the way they are. It’s a national disgrace what the Trump administration is doing with the economy. They are making inflation worse with every step they make and making our economy less stable.

I've got two adult sons, I do not meme them or text them very often because they find it annoying. And they do not respond. We have a great relationship, but they're busy adults ffs with their own kids and lives. Hands off Mom. Be respectful. Interrupting their work is rude and selfish.
