Jennifer Garner turns 50 today and we’re celebrating that exciting milestone by looking back on some of her most relatable mom moments. The actress has three kids — Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, Samuel, 10 — and she regularly shares her favorite (and deeply hilarious!) parenting moments on Instagram.
Highlights range from putting up with some classic flatulence humor to proudly rocking the twelve-foot-long scarf her daughter made her. Get ready to love Jennifer Garner even more after this.
Never playing favorites
Jennifer Garner had the perfect response when her kid slipped her a sneaky note that read: “PS I know I’m you’re favorite.”
“As my mom always says, my favorite is the one I’m with. 👱🏻♀️♥️👧🏻♥️🧒🏼,” Garner quipped on Instagram.
Doing her very best
Jennifer Garner is all of us in the morning, doing our very best to get our kids to school — even when it involves not putting on any pants. The actress posted a photo of herself with wet hair, a bathrobe and slippers after bus dropoff duty.
“She barely made the bus on time, but at least her mother kept it classy. 🙌🏻🌟👵🏻” Garner joked.
Not impressing her kids
Jennifer Garner adorably dressed up as Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon to celebrate her son’s birthday. The response was lukewarm at best which…feels very relatable.
“Well, guess what. It turns out 7 is the age my kid stops thinking it’s cool when I dress up for the party. #youngestchild #firsteyeroll 🙄 #anyoneneedanAstrid🤦🏻♀️🤣😬👵🏼,” Garner wrote on Instagram.
Multitasking at its finest
We are all Jennifer Garner getting out of the car, holding literally every single miscellaneous item possible. The actress posted a snapshot of herself holding — wait for it — multiple notebooks, a hat, a coffee, a water bottle and what appears to be homework.
“Every single time I get out of the car. 💯 . How? Why? 😩🤣 ❤️ #notstaged #notaproblem #ivegotit #iknowyoufeelme.”
Yup, we do feel you.
Dealing with flatulence humor
There seems to be a common theme when it comes to the notes that Garner receives from her kids. Namely, they revolve around flatulence. We’ll just let you see this one and this one for yourself….
Being the ultimate chaperone
Like all of us, Garner does parent duty even when she’s off the clock. The mom shared a photo of herself in the middle of the night, waiting for a girl scout to finish using the bathroom.
“Taking a Girl Scout to pee at 4am is ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” she captioned the picture. “#roarandsnore #chaperonelife #ourtentwasnexttothelions #thelionsdonotsleeptonight #ytho.”
Wearing presents from her kids loudly and proudly
You better believe that when Garner’s daughter Violet knitted her a twelve foot long scarf, it was immediately put on proud display. The mom shared a photo of herself rocking the enormous accessory, alongside the caption: “When your nine year old weaves a 12ft long scarf on a peg loom for your birthday present, you’d better #werk. #fashionfriday #thecarpoollineismyrunway #proudmom.”
