THE MOTHERHOOD CHALLENGE is a Facebook phenomenon that has taken off in recent weeks.

It sees mams post a series of five pictures that make them “proud to be a mother” and then tag other people in the post to do likewise.

It’s not gone down well with some

British stand-up comedian Ellie Taylor saw The Motherhood Challenge blowing up around her, so she posted this hilarious response on Monday:

“Non-Motherhood Challenge: I was nominated by myself to post five pictures that make me happy to be a non-mother. Such special memories.”

So: mostly sleep, wine, and more sleep makes her very happy.

And given it’s been shared by over 10,000 people and liked 110,000 times, plenty out there agree with her important message.
