20 photos that testify that our mothers were much more "cool" than us!

In our imagination, we are used to thinking of our mother as someone whose existence depends in some way on ours; because, we always see her busy, dividing her time between caring for children, housework, and work.

Above all, it seems difficult for us that she may have had a childhood and youth completely separated from us.

Yet this is the reality! In fact, today's mothers are those same young women who once faced adult life with enthusiasm, joy and so many dreams to build - just like us.

Sometimes, it's only by seeing some of their old photos that we realize just how true this is.
