Olivia Munn Gives Hilarious Insight To What Being A Mom Means As Son Throws Tantrum

Olivia Munn explains a mother's job with a bit of humor. The actress is a proud mother to a 15-month-old son, Malcolm, whom she shares with comedian John Mulaney.

In her latest Instagram story post, the former TV host showed her 2.9 million followers got candid about motherhood's unsavory part, especially when it involves a public tantrum.

On Wednesday, the "Iron Man 2" actress shared updates on her Instagram Story, featuring her cuddly little boy in a grey and white stroller as they walked down the street. The young child was secured in the pram as he donned a cream-colored onesie with brown animal-like prints. 

In the first post, Malcolm looked like he was struggling to remove the gray sock on his left foot as he was without any on his right foot. In the second slide, we got the whole picture as Munn shared a photo of the sock on the ground. 

The "Insanitarium" actress seemingly confirmed the sentiment that he was done with the sock in the caption of both posts. It read, "BEING A MOM…" and "IS JUST PICKING UP SOCKS HE THROWS ON THE STREETS." 

In recent weeks, Munn's son has been learning to express himself in the cutest way ever. Weeks before this display, the little bundle of joy protested the no-screen time rule his mother had set for him. In the shared video, Malcolm looked like he had just finished eating as his mouth, shirt, and table he leaned on were soiled.

He was stretching his hands to his mom with a disgruntled face, who was purposely moving the recording device away. As the one-year-old reached to grab the phone, he continued to say the word "No." However, after a while, he repeated it with a softer tone.

Touched by his passion, his father and mother in the background couldn't hold in her laugh, leading him to grin and dance in his chair in response. Over the reel, the 42-year-old wrote, "When he pushes it too far with the last 'No,' and in the caption, she explained that it was her son's first time saying no.

She penned, "This is the first time Malcolm ever said no, and even he couldn't take himself seriously." Munn continued, "He wanted the phone, but we made a new rule: no more phones or tablets unless it's a code-red emergency like a long travel day." 

Fans, clearly obsessed with the video, took to the comments to praise Munn for reducing Malcolm's screen time. One fan remarked, "It's fun to see what they find when they're not on screens (no hate on screens sometimes, of course, everyone needs breaks!)." 

Another user wrote, "Already expressing himself verbally! Well done with the screen decision. It's hard, but watching their imagination flourish is worth it." 

Other comments like, "His smile takes away whatever is on his mouth and sweater." and "You already have an actor on your hands. Awesome performance Malcolm," came from fans who were taken with Malcolm's comical expression at the end of the video.

The update about Malcolm's playful tantrum comes after the "Magic Mike" actress flaunted her natural beauty while getting candid about wanting to look all dolled up. It happened that she bared her skin in a makeup-free photo shared on her Instagram Story.

In it,  the University of Oklahoma alum sported transparent eyewear with a pale blue button-up shirt and a black undershirt. The mom of one styled her black hair into a roughly packed ponytail, with some baby hairs standing out and framing her face. 

The "Freeloaders" actress' face was devoid of makeup as she pouted her lips to the side, giving a nerdy look. Across the post, she wrote, "Could use all that glam right about now."
