How TV Moms Are Actually Just Like Us

Relatable TV moms.

27

There are so many TV moms that we can relate to. Some moms more than others. When we are watching a sitcom or television series and see them do or say something we can relate to, it feels great. We realize we are not the only crazy mom with crazy kids. It gives us a feeling of normalcy... for the moment anyway.

For the video, I chose 10 current TV moms that I thought I have something in common with or could at least relate in some way. They just seem to get it!

1. Frankie Heck, The Middle- I love this mom! The clip shows how tough it is getting kids up in the morning.

2. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy- We all know it takes a community to raise a child. I take the help when I can get it.

3. Katie Otto, American Housewife- I can relate to this mom in several ways. She is constantly running around for her kids. She is often overwhelmed, but loves her kids enough to keep doing it.

4. Cookie, Empire- Now this is a mom in charge. She is not afraid to tell it like it is and do things her way.

5. Beverly Goldberg, Goldberg's- Beverly is the ultimate smother! She loves her kids and wants to be as involved as possible...maybe too much.

6. Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones- Although Cersei is pretty extreme, I can relate to how she wants the world (or Throne in her case) for her children.

7. Christy, Mom- This is a mom that tries to be more understanding, but is realistic. She wants to believe her daughter, but needs some reason to.

8. Jessica Huang, Fresh Off the Boat- Her kid want to fit in so desperately that he actually lies to his parents. She is good at tricking him, ultimately catching him in the lie. What mom hasn't had that happen? Kids forget how clever parents can be!

9. Rainbow, Blackish- This mom ends up doing things for her kids in order to "help" or "show them how" to do it. Then, is fed up! Been there, done that.

10. Claire, Modern Family- Claire wants to do it all and still be the kids' favorite. Too bad it is dad that is the "cool" parent. I can ABSOLUTELY relate, ugh.

They totally get us, don't they?!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
