Celebrities always look like they have their lives totally together. In front of the TV camera, they wear a face of makeup that gives the appearance of being well rested, cheery, and even glowing. We only see a small glimpse of their lives through the media. However, with personal social media, it's become easier for celebs to share their truths.
Once that makeup comes off, they're just like any other mom. Celebrity moms have chores, teaching obstacles, and plenty of awesome playtime in their private lives.
These celebrity moms all learn the same lessons that any non-famous mom needs to learn. These are just 10 of the hundreds, thousands, or possibly millions of lessons moms have to learn during their journey through motherhood.
If you're a mother, do you remember having to learn all of the lessons below? Which was the most difficult to get past, and which was your favorite?

1. Laundry Is A Thankless Task
Mom of two Kristen Bell fired back with this honest picture on Twitter when a user doubted that she did her own laundry. Two kids create a lot of mess, and Mom (and Dad, Dax Shepard) need to be there to get the job done! This is the task that never, ever ends.
2. Motherhood Is Full Of Strange Requests
When Selma Blair wanted to take a picture snuggling with her little one, he told her, "You should have a foot in the picture." She obliged willingly because resistance is futile.
3. No Mom Is Safe From Germs
Busy Phillips spent one of her Thanksgivings with her lovely child in the ER, treating a case of strep throat. Even moms you see on TV deal with the worry and interruption that comes with a sick child.
4. They'll Outsmart You 50% Of The Time
Kim Kardashian posted this picture of North in her own little "spa," when she was supposed to be in a time-out. When it gets too quiet, you know they're up to something.
5. Nothing Belongs To You
Jessica Biel may have the fanciest shoes in town, but they're still filled with plastic dinosaurs. What can you do as a mom but embrace it and snap a picture?
6. Playtime Is The Best Time
Whether there actually is time or not is irrelevant, because you will find time to take a moment or a dozen out of the day to play with your babies. Zoe Saldana took this quick break in the middle of a big press day to hang out with her children.
7. Sharing Is Often A One-Way Street
Sure, whenever they want a sip of your juice or a fry from your bag, it's the end of the world if you don't want to share. However, if you want just a bite of their food, it's like you're asking them for an arm and a leg! Hillary Duff clearly knows this one by now.
8. Just Because Your Child Is Adorable Doesn't Mean He'll Follow Directions
Anna Faris and Chris Pratt's son responded, "I don't think so, Mommy!" when Anna nicely asked him to pick up the popcorn that he'd strewn all across the floor. Just because he knows how to be polite doesn't mean that he'll follow directions!
9. A Nap Is A Huge Luxury
As a mom, you're always tired. With a busy schedule and mommy duty, Olivia Wilde is no stranger to the afternoon nap with the kids.
10. You Have To Embrace Their Adventurous Spirit
Rachel Zoe snapped this picture of her boy taking a great leap from a lifeguard's chair. It looks like it could be a little risky, but look how much fun he's having! Celebrity moms have to let their kids fly (this time literally) and become their own person, too, and that might be the hardest thing of all!
