If you’re a mom, you’re probably all too familiar with the struggle of trying to coordinate a get-together with another mom. The truth is, our schedules are packed tighter than a toddler’s toy box. If by some miracle we do find a sliver of free time, we’re often too exhausted to do anything beyond zoning out in front of the television.
Moms Chloe Reynolds and Mia Thompson decided to tackle this relatable dilemma in their new comedic video titled “Why Moms Never Meet Up.” Every mom is bound to see themselves reflected in this entertaining exchange. The duo spends the entire skit attempting to pinpoint a day to hang out, and the results are nothing short of hilarious.
“Hey, I need to grab a coffee, in public, with an adult. Can you meet up?” Mia kicks off the conversation. When Chloe suggests tomorrow, things quickly spiral into chaos. “Absolutely! I just have to load the stroller, pump, pack a baby bag with ten changes of clothing, and squeeze in a shower for the first time this week. I can meet you by three!” Mia responds, only to be met with Chloe’s reality check: “I’m picking the kids up from school at three, then it’s off to swimming lessons. Plus, I have to get home to whip up three different dinners because no one in my house can agree on what to eat!”
The back-and-forth continues as they struggle to set a date amidst mother-in-law visits, baby gym classes, birthday parties, laundry, and work calls. And they manage to juggle these discussions while multitasking through daily chores like scrubbing floors and preparing dinner. Because let’s face it, moms are champions at getting things done.
Finding time for ourselves is nearly impossible, let alone coordinating time with friends. Once you become a parent, it feels like all your free moments are consumed by the monumental task of keeping another human alive, well-fed every few minutes, and entertained. As the kids grow, these responsibilities shift to shuttling them from one activity to another, making it feel like the chaos never truly ends.
“Friday?” Chloe suggests. “By Friday, I’m usually a zombie in the corner,” Mia replies, all while mowing the lawn with her baby strapped to her chest. When Mia proposes Saturday, Chloe has a waxing appointment because she feels “her bush is out of control.” “Wait, you still wax?” Mia exclaims in disbelief. “Hey, it gives me an hour out of the house,” Chloe quips, earning a slow clap from moms everywhere.
After much back and forth, the pair settles on a date three months down the line, which is likely to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. I can relate; I have countless text threads with friends trying to pin down plans. It’s not that we don’t want to see each other—oh, how we do!—it’s just that our tiny humans keep throwing a wrench in our social lives.
