21 Celeb Mom Pics That Prove Parenting Isn't Glamorous for Anyone

When a kid loves trains, he really, really loves trains. Just ask actress Anna Faris, who has apparently made quite a few trips to the train museum with 4-year-old Jack (her son with husband Chris Pratt). Been there, Anna! (Lots and lots of times.)

What do tired working moms want more than anything else? A nap, as mother-of-three Reese Witherspoon proves in this honest and relatable pic. (Also, are those cookies on the table? Because moms want those, too.)

Just like Chrissy Teigen, we've all made complete and utter fools of ourselves for the sake of entertaining our babies -- and we've gotta say, prescious little Luna does look extremely entertained. (So does John Legend!)

Because let's face it: The only way new moms ever get anything done in this life is with an infant strapped to their chest. In Olivia Wilde's case, this "tiny little office mate" is her daughter Daisy (she also has a 2-year-old son, Otis, with fiancé Jason Sudeikis).

Mother-of-two Kelly Clarkson knows what's up: As long as nothing gets destroyed and nobody gets hurt, moms will pretty much let kids do just about anything to keep themselves busy. And yes, that includes dragging other kids around the floor on a blanket!

Sometimes pregnancy is so exhausting we just have to sit down on the floor and take a breath. And we know why now-mother-of-two Pink was microwaving her decaf -- because she was probably too busy chasing daughter Willow around (while pregnant with now 2-month-old Jameson) to drink it before it got cold!

It's a universal struggle for moms in the selfie-taking age: There's just no way to take a cute picture of an outfit without a kid photobomb -- even when that kid isn't even in the room! At least Hillary Duff's son Luca did a good job of coloring in the lines.

Sure, we know they're germ-infested pits of contagious disease, but at some point or another we've all thrown caution to the wind and jumped in with our kids, Drew Barrymore–style. That's what hand sanitizer is for, right?

Even big stars like mother-of-two Kristen Bell get buried in loads of endless laundry -- because that's just what #MomLife is all about. (She looks super happy about it too, right?)

Busy Philipps definitely didn't have the best Thanksgiving ever, but who among us hasn't had their fun holiday plants completely hijacked by a sick kid or some sort of disasterous medical emergency at some point or another?

Now that's the face of a kid in the middle of a tantrum-from-hell if we've ever seen one -- and believe us, we've seen a lot! At least Selma Blair has figured out that the best way to handle these hair-raising moments is by having a sense of humor.

Before becoming a mom, Debra Messing might have chosen to spend her #summerdays lounging poolside ... now she spends them chasing after Pokemon, just like all the other parents. At least she's rockin' some cool frames.

People might think that celeb moms carefully choreograph every moment of their children's days (or that their assistants do). But nope, Rachel Zoe knows the pain of too many birthday parties in one day, just like every other parent -- and she also knows not to disturb a child crashing from a cake-fueled sugar high.

Yet another obligatory mom task that sounds like it might be fun at first but quickly becomes an exercise in soul-sucking tedium: making valentines for an entire classroom of kids (actually, maybe more than one class). With a preschooler and a first grader, Sarah Michelle Gellar totally gets it!

Like Alyson Hannigan (mom of two ridiculously adorable daughters), we've all been guilty of leaving our phones unattended around our kids -- and getting a dozen or so new additions to our photo albums as a result. At least she (hopefully) didn't make any in-app purchases!

When a kid has a posh personal space like North West, the good old "go to your room" punishment isn't much of a punishment anymore. We're pretty impressed with the 3-year-old's ability to turn a time-out into some quality downtime and a full-blown spa treatment, though!

Yup, even mega-stars of the stage and screen like Amber Tamblyn have to scrub out their breast pumps just like everyone else-- this is definitely one of the least glamorous chores we can imagine her performing.

Even a pair of gorgeous Manolo Blahnik pumps can be "improved" upon with the addition of a few plastic dinosaurs, as Jessica Biel discovered. (Wonder if Justin Timberlake had something to do with this one?)

The look on this exhausted mom's face honestly hits a little too close to home for all the perpetually exhausted mamas out there. But seeing as the actress has three kids under the age of 3, we think it's pretty spectacular that she even manages to stay awake!

We all know Kourtney Kardashian spends her share of Friday nights fending off the paparazzi and looking as glamorous as physically possible with the rest of her family. Clearly, she needs a night off every once and a while. (And a full bag of delicious cheddar and sour cream chips, mmm.)

No explanation needed here! Jennifer Garner keeps it all the way real in this hilarious but relatable AF Instagram post. "Why yes, kind sir, we do have Thin Mints," the celeb mom of three writes in her post trying to sell Girl Scout cookies for her kids.

May the force be with you, mama.
