Mothers are the epitome of comic relief in their quest to become epic supermoms. A few months after giving birth, mothers soon discover that being the best mom is not an easy thing.

From finding excuses to skip work, to making up weird songs to sing to your kids so they can remain happy, to taking candy from lobbies to give to your kid, there are so many secrets that mothers would never let on to the rest of humanity.

Here are mothers' top-secret endeavors that they keep as they navigate through stresses and emotional breakdowns that come with being a mom.

Sleeping Through the Alarm

Sleep is a captivating theme, and we all love to enjoy some good rest. More so for tired moms who may sometimes sleep through the alarm clock, and find no fault in keeping their kid home that day.

Besides, no school means no rushed mornings and much lengthier sleep.

Telling White Blatant Lies

Kid: Mom, do you know where I kept my old board game?

Mom: You mean the one with missing pieces? Check, it must be in your room somewhere…

Kid finds it in the trash.

Mom: Oh, that's the one you were talking about. How did it get into the trash?

Mom acts dumb and puts the game where it belongs, and waits till the kid leaves so that she could toss it out again.

Cursing and Saying Nasty Words When Kids aren't Around

Remember when you stepped on that toy at midnight, and that horrid word slipped right out of your mouth?

You have rules and guidelines, and you want to shield your kids from using swear words, but sometimes misplaced toys get in the way of you sticking to your end of the bargain.

Telling Your Own Abbreviated Version of the Bedtime Story

After reading the same story to your kid 200 times, you have resorted to skipping through some pages, when your kid is nodding off.

Mom, how did you get to the end of the story already? Did you read every single word on every page?

It's OK to worry and to think that your kid is not able to protect himself or herself. Besides, it's easier to do a background check on your kid's external influences and to keep your kid safe, than to get him or her through a bad experience.

That makes perfect sense, right? Better safe than sorry.

Forgetting the Name of Your Kid's Friend

"Honey, I bumped into that girl we met at the store the other day."

Your kids love you, but you cannot remember their friends' names to save your life. Sure, you know a few of the staples, it's only that you cannot remember someone you met less than ten times.

Using Kids as an Excuse to Avoid Doing Something

"Oh, I'm sorry Peggy, I will have to miss the party. My son is sick and in bed."

You put the phone down and turn to look at your son, who is staring at you in disbelief. You sigh and walk away, hoping to finally spend the much-needed alone time you have thought about having for weeks. Let's hope little Johnny doesn't spill the beans.

Allowing Kids to Watch a Double Feature when You Need a Lengthier Break

How would you know how moms get things done anyway?

All moms know that motherhood demands the balancing skills of a trapeze artist, and it is practically impossible to maintain your sanity when getting pulled in every direction.

Convincing the Rest of the Family to Follow Your Diet Plan

So, you are following a fad diet to maintain your desired lifestyle or physique, and you think your family should follow suit.

The truth is restrictive diets may not be the best option for everyone else as you may think. It may affect your kid's metabolism.

Showing Your Kid All Your Favorite Movies

Sometimes a mom may think that just because her kid loves animals, he or she will enjoy watching 'Eight Legged Freaks' or 'Jurassic Park.'

Moms can get overly excited about showing their kids all the movies they love to watch. They wait in anticipation for their kids to scream in horror. But once that happens, mom realizes they kids is actually terrified rather than spooked. I guess he wasn't ready. Damage done, mom. Maybe next time.
