There is no question that many celebrity moms lead glamorous lives. They walk red carpets in stunning gowns. Designers get excited to put clothes on them. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how rich you are or how much money you have -- celeb moms with toddlers really are just like the rest of us. They find Legos in the toilet and spend bedtime trying to convince siblings not to shriek at each other instead of falling asleep. But don't take our word for it ...  

More from CafeMom: 20 Celeb Mom Pics That Prove Parenting Isn't Glamorous for Anyone

From Anna Faris to Reese Witherspoon, a variety of famous mamas won't deny that their life with a little one is amazing, but it's still far from perfect or stress-free. Instead of glossing over the frustrating tantrums, hysterical comments, and potty-training accidents, these lovable celebrity moms are proving just how relatable parenting a small child is, no matter who you are, thanks to some hilarious social media posts.

Sure, their days are perfect in the sense that they have an amazing child to love (even if those children are currently going through the terrible twos and running around like maniacs), but these moms aren't immune to the meltdowns and "accidents" that comes along with toddler territory. Luckily for us, they're willing to embrace and laugh at these mom moments instead of hiding them!

Think your kids are harsh critics? Kristen Bell's toddler daughter took one look at her mom's outfit and found it wanting. As Bell shared on Instagram, "After i dressed this morning, my 2yr wrinkled her nose and said, 'why you not wearing a beautiful outfit today, mama?' MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON."

Olivia Wilde calls this look "mentally preparing for 13 hour travel day with toddler." What does one pack when going on a long trip with a toddler, you might ask? According to Wilde, it's pretty simple: bribes.

In case you hadn't noticed, Olivia Wilde has a lot of messy hair days. And she's also absolutely hilarious about raising toddlers. Her take on this 'do? "I call this hairstyle, 'keep the kid alive.' Products you'll need: sweat, string cheese, diaper rash cream, chewed up crayon, snot, and an enthusiastic spritz of panic."

Raise your hand if the last thing you ate was "half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich" or "a quarter of a chicken nugget." If that's you, Carrie Underwood would make a very understanding dining companion.

Some of us go out to eat to actually eat. But those of us with small children go out to eat and then suddenly become beds for said small children. As Busy Philipps said of this shot on Instagram, "You know that thing where your 3 year old is dropping her nap but then passes out on the way to dinner so you have to hold her for 45 minutes & try to not drop chips and salsa on her head?? That happened to me last night. And aside from a few crumbs, her head stayed clean!"
