‘My tweens wrote me the most hilarious Mother’s Day card and I’m dying’

"I don't know what to write," read one generic grocery store card a viewer shared in the comments.

We go on a lot about mums who have two (or more!) kids under two, but no one ever talks about the superheroes that are mothers of multiple tweens or teenagers.

Kari, who posts on TikTok as @mrskarib, has four teenagers. Somebody please give this woman a medal because that’s got to be rough.

Think about it. They’re all teenagers, all going through puberty, all asking her questions about the internet she can’t answer, all having insufferable attitudes at the same time.

So when Kari shared the Mothers’ Day card her kids’ made her, we knew we could expect hilarity.

It started out tame, with the kinds of sweet-verging-on-saccharine greetings you’d expect from a shop-bought card.

“Love you, Payton,” the first kid wrote.

Payton is obviously Kari’s most sedate child. The other kids are a bit kooky.

Mum shares teenagers' Mother's Day card

"Thank you for being an amazing madrasta, love ya, Bella," the next kid wrote.

Madrasta is Portuguese for step-mum, and as far as we can tell, no one in this family is Portuguese.

“Jason made me write this, you’re the worst. From your favourite, happy mother’s day,” went the third greeting.

And the last child is clearly the weirdest of them all.

“Thank you for being suss,” was the simple note.

When you have teenagers, long gone are the days of handmade bookmarks, tissue paper and pipe cleaner flowers in old salsa jars, and breakfast in bed of questionable edibility.

It’s all about quick notes dashed off on store-bought cards, although clearly the love is still there.

TikTok responds to hilarious Mother’s Day card

Followers, especially parents of teenagers, loved the card.

“Sounds like something my oldest would write. She’s about to be 17, I’m 36,” one person wrote.

But while it seems that teenagers put in minimal effort when it comes to celebrating Mother’s Day, they've got nothing on kids in their twenties. Twenty-year-olds are practical, they can afford to buy their own cards, but poets they are not.

Case in point: “My 20-year-old son gave me a Mother’s Day card. Didn’t write anything in it at all. Just handed it to me and said, ‘I don’t know what to write’,” one mum commented.
