This Mom’s Brutally Honest Comics Show How Your Life Changes After Having Kids (10 Pics)
Sometimes we need a major life-changing event to really put things into perspective. As the classic song goes: “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” What bigger life-changing event is there than stepping into motherhood?
The simple things you used to take for granted suddenly aren’t so simple anymore and these parenting comics show that perfectly. Want to sit down quietly on the sofa and watch a movie? Not so fast, my friend. There are nappies to change and vomit to clean. How about a bit of leisure shopping down at the mall? Nope, the toy store is the only place you’ll be seeing today! Add these to all the other parenting struggles and you have a treasure trove for some hilarious cartoon drawings.
Weng Chen, the genius behind The Messycow Comics, has created a series of ‘before and after kids’ webcomics that nails this change in perspective perfectly, and will leave all you parents with little kids out there nodding your heads in agreement!
Scroll down below to check these relatable comics out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Whether these changes are for good or for bad is a individual perception. In my childless-life I had much more free time, more sleep, more gaming, more spectacular holiday trips, less responsibility, less chores. Yet I am now much happier. Thus, I think the very last example with the cardbord boes sums up how life with children can be seen from the angle of joy!
Hugging is taking to a whole new level with kids

Man these are bang on. And yet, I am much happier even with all the chaos, the love is all consuming. it is like you give birth to your actual heart every time because when you look at them your heart grows ten times it size.
Aww. My parents say the same. When i was an only kid i also had everything to myself but once i got siblings, it was fun all the time. Ofc we fight nonstop too so goes either way lol

People spend 10 seconds saying how great it is to have kids and 3 hours with posts like this one about how rotten it is.
As a Mother of 3 and any Mother can agree, the bath time is never an 'alone' time....my kids are my shadows and I can never go in peace lol
Cute. A couple typos, though: "Worklace" needs to be "Workplace" and "save" instead of "safe" in the playground one.
NEWS FLASH TO ALL MILLENNIALS: Yes, things change after you have kids. NEWS FLASH TO BOREDPANDA: This is getting old quickly.
Try to cheer up, Andrej. Why are you reading these articles if you don't like them?

Yep, that's what happened to my sister's cats. From babies to just pets.
