Serena Williams is surrendering her living room to her daughter.
The 37-year-old tennis superstar took to Instagram on Thursday morning to share a picture of herself standing in what was once likely a stylish living room, but is now overrun with toys.
‘Sometimes I have to throw my hands up in the air,’ she captioned it. ‘#thismama used to have a living room. Now I just have a play room. When did that happen?’
Oh well! Serena Williams wrote on Instagram that she used to have a living room, but it has transformed into a playroom since she had her daughter

In the photo, Serena is throwing her hands up in surrender, her eyes looking toward the sky.
Also in the shot are a toy dog, a tree, a slide, blocks, a stacked rings, and a Fisher Price set, among other things.
Serena, barefoot, appears to have finally given up on the idea of keeping the room tidy and grown-up-friendly.
It’s been a year since she welcomed her daughter, Alexis Olympia, and the toddling little girl has staked out the living room as her own.
What’s more, Serena’s followers appear to know the struggle all too well, with many commenting in support.
‘The life of motherhood,’ wrote one. Another quipped: ‘Welcome to the next 18 years.’
‘It happens! I have a playroom instead of a livingroom too,’ wrote another mother.
Big numbers: Serena celebrated hitting 10 million Instagram followers this month with a photo of her daughter, adding the caption: ‘For my 10 million followers, thank you!’
Despite the mess, Serena does seem to really be enjoying being a mom.
Last week, she celebrated reaching the milestone of 10 million Instagram followers by posting a photo of her daughter with the caption: ‘For my 10 million followers, thank you!’
The two were pictured playing together in a sandbox, with the little girl staring intently at the sand in front of her.
Olympia donned a black onesie with bows on the shoulders and the message More Issues Than Vogue written on it.
Her Grand Slam champ mom sported a black romper and wore her hair naturally curly.

Last month, Serena shared a photo of her little pride and joy walking down a hallway.
Olympia was holding onto a tennis ball as she steadied herself with the help of a wall with floral wallpaper.
Williams wrote, ‘I will always protect you. I will always stand up for you. I will always guide you. I will always be with you you. I was put here to be your mom.
