Ah mams. Do they go through some sort of ‘mam training’ in order to all use the exact same phrases?

More importantly, will we someday find ourselves using the phrases we have taken the utter pi** out of all of our lives? It’s a scary thought.

Despite all of their loveable ‘mamisms’ we have to say that they really are the best!

1. “Put a coat on – you’ll perish out there!”
It’s July, mam…and we’re on holidays in Spain.

2. “Whisht, whist will you – the Angelus is on”
The longest minute of our lives as children.

3. “Well, how was mass/pub/trip to the shops? Anyone admire ye?”
She always looks a little disappointed when you say no, bless.

4. “If you eat one more sweet now you’ll get worms and you’ll come running to me then, won’t you?”
Ewwwww

5. “Wait till I get the wooden spoon”
The words that would put the fear of God into you

6. “What are ya doin’ still in the bed? Is there something wrong which ya? Heh?!”
Noooo mam, it’s 9am on the first day of summer holidays go awwwwayyy

7. “Because that’s the why!”
Wait, what? That’s not even an answer.

8. “Is it coddin’ me you are? Get out the door”
Being sick before mass on a Sunday is NOT an option

9. “More in your line now to be revising than havin’ your head stuck into that Facebook”
Tis true for her, to be fair

10. “I’ve no wafers left, you’ll have to have your ice-cream in a bowl”
Only joking, no Irish mammy worth her salt would ever run out of wafers

11. “That’ll be a funeral for us now, I suppose”
Well, yes he was the neighbour’s distant cousin who lived at the opposite end of the country and you met him once, so why not?

12. “Switch over there, we’ll see who Ryan has on”
Noooooo mam, but Graham Norton is on!

13. “Oh, don’t mind her, she has a complex about eatin’ meat”
Mam, it’s called being a vegetarian!

14. “I’ll reddin’ your arse if that immersion is left on!”
Good God RUN!

15. “Maura’s daughter was in the pub actually. Nice girl. Plain.”
Mam can be saucy too ya’know!

Happy Mother’s Day to all our lovely mammies!

Well, we are surprised!

Eminem has shocked us all by writing a song about his mom – and it’s lovely!

Okay, maybe ‘lovely’ is a bit far, but it’s certainly far removed from the words he used to write about his estranged mother, Debbie Mathers.

After years and years of bitter words and cruel lyrics towards his mom, it looks like Eminem is having a change of heart.

His new song, Headlights ft. Nate Reuss, sees Eminem reaching out to his mom for a reconciliation – will he get it?

It had been rumoured that Selena Gomez and her parents were not on speaking terms following her firing them as her managers.

However, now it would seem that is all behind them as Selena posted this heartfelt photo of her and her mum.

The photo features a very tiny Selena being held by her mother who looks exactly like her, apart from the 90s hair, of course!

Selena captioned the sweet image: “I’m not sure I can express what kind of woman she is, all I can say is she changed my life completely. Happy Mother’s Day. I love you momma.”

We guess that means that any issues between the two have been sorted, which is good to see.
