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

Omg YES— it’s one of my favorite pastimes. 😂🌟
Beautiful.
I have 5 kids too. Had no idea that was part of the job. 😊
My sister does this also! 😊
LOL! I just did this.
😂 same
You are a caring mom...
For me, it's @dailybunnies.bsky.social shared with my 19yo whose favorite animal is bunnies💕
😂😂😂😂😂
I communicate with my son only in rap song memes
Very sweet
I thought you were in your 30's! I love to send my daughter slightly inappropriate memes in the middle of her teaching day. Surprisingly she still talks to me
Something I'm learning
I do the very same thing a few times a week, and they send stuff to me too.
My youngest is getting an emergency management degree. He is actively considering out of country jobs rather than the US.
Dad jokes work for me. Every groan is a symphony!
lol! Love it! I do that with my two - can’t imagine 5! Good job, Mama!
Jess I’m glad you’re part of my extended tribe! I was one son and done!!! But I am one of five😃
I do this! Plus send them animal videos…
Good job, Mama!!
😂 I have 3 and only joined TT to do this. Gotta meet them where they are.
You're an evil genius. Yet another reason you're so great!
No you don’t! You love them and they should be capable of finding things they like
I find my goal is not only to send them something relevant to them but something that haven’t seen already. Nothing worse than when your kids say yeah I’ve seen that one! 😐
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.
Agreed, and I only have one at home.
It’s still soooooo expensive. I went to CVS to get 2 things of simply lemonade and a yogurt and it was $14.
70 y/o here I do that for my 50 y/o and 39y/o daughters and my 28y/o grandkids---grandson and all the others that call me grandma
❤️
Keep on sending the love 🫠
I'm amazed that you have 5 kids! Wow!
GenZ = weakest yet #iPadKids
You're a good mum ❤️
My kids communicate with me through TikTok links that they send me - you better believe that I watch every single one of those! Also - if I want them to know about something, I search thru TikTok creators and find one with the info I want my kids to see. #GenZParenting
Maybe #MomOfGenZer is better 😆
Hahahahaaha Yes!
Glad to know I’m not the only one! When I do it, I can hear my daughters’ eyes rolling from across the country! 🤪
And get messages back such as "ok" or "cool".
I FEEL this with four kids.
I just did that! Pics of my vegetarian Pizza that was a new recipe for my house.
I bet they know you love them
You rock!
🥰🥰
I also have five kids and do the same. It’s usually animal related—but sharing a feeling with them remotely is priceless. You do a lot for a lot of people, Jess, and I’m a huge fan💙
Having raised five kids more than qualifies you to thrive in politics, I believe. If you can wrangle five kids, you can wrangle five congressmen...
1 of mine and their spouse work in DC, take the metro in and then have to walk several blocks. I've never been this worried about them.
The struggle is real…
That’s pebbling!
ooooh.. post some good ones.. I have two GenZers
I feel inspired.. !
💕
Can you donate to me
And I bet they all sigh in exasperation when they see it. "Geez Mom!" But deep down they're feeling warm and safe that you are out there thinking of them and loving them.
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.
K
Maybe Jess’s kids and your kids are different people
😂🤣I thought it was just me😂🤣
Too real
I sent mine a pic I found on Bluesky of soldiers in DC that was captioned "Call of Duty: Waiting Around" 🤣🤣 I got a haha back lol
That is so nice of you--and thanks much for the repost recently. 😊
I share highlights of Royals games with my son on days he can't watch. Sure, he could look it up himself but I'm watching anyway so why not share the joy (or pain, as it may be!) Worth it when he thanks me for my 'baseball service'.
kpstein
That's a great idea! 😃.
I do this too! 😂
💕
My oldest son does that to me. He sends videos that make a jackass out of Tangerine Tits and sends them to me, sometimes multiple times a day. I asked him if he did this while on duty (ER Physician) all I got was a smile emoji.
Text message threads with my kids are often compromised solely of gifs. Can relate.
Wow, new respect for you Jess. I only have 4 kids, 2 bigs and 2 littles. They are all GenZ but the big learned all they need on YouTube while the littles learned all they need on TikTok. I am still too cringe to send them videos but they know I love them, they always find me when they need me.
So I’m not the only mom who does this? 😂
That's your duty as a mother!
I feel seen!
I just sent this to my grandkids youtube.com/shorts/BvJIc...
I’m at a new mom crisis. Apparently every job everywhere is getting gobbled up by AI and I have no idea how to help them or guide them. WTF are people supposed to do for money? Is there a TikTok to fix that? So lost right now.
You'll be ok. You care about them and love them. Being a mom is hard!
I AGREE, YET 80% OF MEN WILL DISAGREE… …………FUCK’EM…!
Go, Mom!
Boomer mom here, and I do the same thing ❤️!
😉🥰
Way to go mom.
Love is like plants. If you want it to survive, you must water it regularly.🫶
I do the same with my Millennial daughters. My Mom used to send cuttings from newspapers. Just carrying on the tradition but with faster response times!
“Pebbling" When penguins court, they bring each other pretty rocks or things they’ve spent time evaluating and collecting.
We have to keep our streaks active.
I do the same thing with my 3!
It’s my love language 😂😂
So true! It’s like penguin pebbling. 🥹
Pebbling……. 💙💙💙
Lol! Same!!
Yup. The way to say “I’m thinking about you.” Love when I get one back. ❤️
It’s our love language.😉
Memes as love language
#pebbling 💙
I feel seen :)
