Emma Thompson is a timeless beauty. She was able to look both 65 and 40 in this video by just changing hairstyles.

My mom wrote this on a mommy advice paper at my sister’s baby shower.

“Don’t listen to people who say you have to love every moment of parenthood. I miss when you were little but I don’t miss when you threw a tantrum in Kroger about your flip flop being too loud”

[Malily]

I know this is supposed to be funny but honestly this is deep. This is basically what every mom (and a lot of dads) has to go through and nobody even realizes.

[wchrisgarcia]

i died when she asked “Enjoying the show Cheryl?” and then she said “Hell no” 💀💀💀

[Javdaneh]

This is the best birth control I’ve ever seen

[DanniShelton]

Hearing Emma Thompson, like the most British woman alive, with an American accent is weirding me out

[brandontuggle]

"Why won't you F*cking LMAO I felt that.

[tosht]

Neighbor Cheryl needs to be a recurring character where she only says "Hell no!"

[dingoledingus]

Dude, the giraffe part nailed it. All of this has reassured me that my husband and I aren't failing as parents and that everyone is just bullshitting.

[Simba______]

"Enjoying the show, Cheryl?"...."Hell, no!"

[cornlips]

This is litteraly the best most realistic thing I have ever seen about parenting!
So flawless.
I did not stop laughing the whole time.

[TaylorL]

"Enoying the show Cheryl?"
"Hell no"

[serena]

"I don't even remember you yelling at me" is hysterical and ridiculous. That's the part we never forget.

2:09 True Parenting...



"WHY DIDN'T YOU PACK THE GOD DAMN GIRAFFE!!"


"YOU SAID PACK A TOY"


"I MEANT A GIRAFFE"

[sportalero]

you said pack A toy.

I have a 2 and 5 year old. I’ve seen a lot of great actors in my time but that man deserves an Oscar just for the emotions he invoked with just those FIVE words

[buffcj]

It was that moment when Cheryl vowed to build a she shed.

[christinadobbs]

This made me cry because I was so hard on myself for not being a "good mother" but my kids seem to understand and know how hard I worked to keep a roof over our for Mother's Day, I honor them for being understanding and forgiving

[sonablom]

I have to say what I think is underrated here is how the dad is not a lazy slob. I mean he’s distracted and exhausted too but he’s right up in there looking at the poopy neck and counting the crayons. You don’t have to insult one parent to celebrate the other.

[maxnorton]

This may be the most life accurate sketch SNL has done, and one of its funniest. So many memories from my childhood, and my parenthood mirror this.

[shannenlam]

mikey and heidi always make the FUNNIEST couple somehow. keep it up, snl LMAO
