A woman who was fed up of seeing supermarket shelves filled with pretty pink mugs and cute teddy bears has revealed what parents really want on Mother’s Day.
Alongside a photo, Jenny Tompkins, from Leeds, took to Facebook and penned: ‘Just got back from my food shop and whilst out I spotted the Mothers day Isle. Whilst this stuff is cute in its own way, Mothers of young children and teenagers do not want this sh**. We really don’t.’
The mother-of-seven then went onto explain what parents like herself are really hoping for on March 22 – with the long list including everything from being able to go to the toilet in ‘peace,’ to her kids tidying up after themselves.
And many were quick to take to the comments section in agreement, with one writing: ‘That is hilarious and oh so true,’ and another adding: ‘True but I’d also appreciate a pair of slippers and a bottle of wine.’

Jenny’s post has since gone viral and has garnered over 11, 000 likes and hundreds of comments, with many in agreement with her views
In the amusing candid post, which has since garnered an impressive 11, 000 likes, the mum explained:
‘We want two minutes alone in the bathroom without a little human staring at our bits like it’s going to start firing out ping pong balls. Nothing magical is going to happen so for the love of God, leave us alone.’
‘We want you to get dressed. We want to hand you your clothes and not have to find you twenty minutes later wearing nothing but your underwear and one f**king shoe.’
Jenny then proceeded to move onto the household chores, and highlighted her eagerness for her children to move their own belongings.
Taking to the comments section, one mother wrote: ‘So true. So funny,’ while a second added: ‘Bang on’ (pictured)
‘How simple is that?’ she continued. ‘This applies to husbands too. Shoes and coats have a place so use them! Same as toys. Although put them away properly!’
Once in her stride, the irate mother than went onto discuss the difficulties of meal times.
‘We want to cook a meal and have it eaten without fuss,’ she said. ‘Without cries of desperation that you no longer like pizza despite having a f***ing meltdown the day before that you couldn’t have it because I’d cooked sausage and mash.’
And many who could relate to the post saw the funny side, and took straight to the comments section.
‘I mean. I love a good key ring,’ joked one, while a second commented: ‘Hahaha… well said from start to end xxx now I have some peace and quiet they bring me grand children so the circle begins again.. the joy of love to the desperate desire for my bed… lol got to love life and my grand babies xxx’
A third added: ‘Brilliant. I would also like to be able to have my dinner without my 3 year old eating mine instead of her own even though its exactly the same,’ while a further commented: ‘Sums up motherhood in a post. Wouldn’t have it any other way.’
Another mother joked: ‘True, but I’d also appreciate a pair of slippers and a bottle of wine’ (pictured)
