We all have those moments of "Mom, what in the world?" However, we shouldn't get mad. Here are a few examples of things that most moms do but shouldn't get hate for.

1. Liking your Facebook pictures from four years ago

You're mom isn't really trying to troll you like your friends. She honestly just thinks you're the cutest little thing, and she honestly can't believe how fast you are becoming an adult.

2. Calling you by every name but the one she gave you

When I was younger, this would baffle me! How in the world could my own mother confuse my name with my brother's name, or worse, my dog's name? However, throughout the last few years of college, I completely understand where she was coming from. Stress does actually affect your ability to remember simple and easy things like a name or place. Your mom doesn't actually forget who you are or what your name is! She waited nine months to see your face and has spent years discovering who you are and watching you grow.

3. Telling your friends embarrassing stories

The main reason you shouldn't get mad about this is because your mom thinks you are absolutely hilarious and wants to share that with your friends. She wants them to get a glimpse of your life before they met you. So, when she brings up that story of dressing up for character day at school a week early, laugh right along. You're hilarious!

4. Making sure you got all of your Accelerated Reader points

The many, many tears I cried over getting my dreaded AR points. My mom knew how much I hated reading, but insisted I finish my books for every deadline. You see, your mom doesn't find pleasure in torturing you with such things as AR points. She constantly sees the bigger picture and wants you to learn lessons that will help you in the future. Reading those books helped my reading pace, which ultimately helped my SAT score, see?

5. Cheering the loudest at all of your games

Oh, man. The days of playing optimist basketball at the local YMCA were filled with Mama Freel screams and shrieks. She would hoot and holler every time I got ahold of the ball. The funny thing about that is that optimism means everybody wins. That didn't matter to my mom, though. The heart behind her cheers was more of an excitement of seeing me on the court, playing with other kids than winning.

6. Reminding you to send her your student loan information

Shout out to my own Mama Freel! This is definitely not something you should get mad at your mom about. In fact, this is something you should be praising her for. Even though you are off at college or living on your own, your mom still cares so deeply about you, she would persistently, intentionally remind you to do the important things that grownups do!

7. Being your mom

You can't get mad at your mom for being your mom. You were each handpicked and destined to be together from the beginning of time. The Lord knew you two were going to have those rough middle school years, but He also knew you would get through them. A mother-daughter relationship is so special and needed in life. Your mom is your number one fan, biggest supporter and has loved you since she knew you were coming.

So, show your mom some grace. After all she raised a pretty cool person: you.
