20 Brutally Honest Comics That Show How Your Life Changes After Having Kids
There are things that change you forever, but neither first love, nor graduation, nor anything else reshapes you as much as bringing up a child. Bored Panda has illustrated the ways everyday life turns upside down after you start raising kids, and the differences will crack you up. Forget catching up on your sleep schedule during the weekend and making a quick trip to the grocery store, if you're a parent, everything becomes different and everything becomes chaos.
Luckily, the realization that you are introducing a brand new human soul to this beautiful world is just as rewarding. Scroll down to check out the images and upvote your faves.

Did anyone else forget about the comics and just start looking for the Panda in each picture like it's Waldo?

Everyone should think about whether or not they truly want kids or not. Consider all the factors including what type of world you'll be bringing them into. Don't have kids because you just assume that's what you're supposed to do, or because people tell you its a magical experience.

I'm just here to read the comments from people who proclaim this is why they won't have kids.

Posts like that can really bend some undecided minds that have had doubts about having children in the future In fact,Bored Panda was one of those portals,which opened my eyes to parenthood-not only sleep deprivation,but raw labour,special panties included afterwards cause I might pee and poop myself uncontrollably.ALL possible cons of motherhood have been vividly shown,displayed and brought to attention of any future mom leaving her with a seed of doubt if that's what she wants.Sure,there are pros,but people always tend to see the downside more than the upside.Kids are wonderful,but knowing what package they bring shades the parenthood.IE I would have been better not knowing about the aforementioned panties.Would get them,but would be like"Ok good!".Now I'm like"Ugh...no.".It's just one example in a whole bag of them.Do I feel better knowing stuff?No,not really.Used to think motherhood was difficult but beautiful.Now,after all those years of such feed I see it difficult and ugly.

I love children when they are young and play with them alot. But I know it is not for me. It's a huge responsibility, plus u can't just decide that today u want to take a break. Once a parent , always a parent. And I sometimes get that sneaky feeling. Most parents have kids for their own interest nd do whatever they want with them. Nd screw up their lives. I mean they do love them but their brought up is still done acc to the parent nd not thinking as child as another human being whose likes and dislikes are going to be completely different. But I guess I will never know.

I don't have kids and none of the before pics applies to me except #19. Maybe whoever drew these doesn't know people exist who aren't in couples?

The before looks so much better, thankfully I don't ever have to worry about the after. Being a nanny/babysitter/weekend sitter was plenty enough for me! All hale to parents who go through this.

Sometimes I can't tell whether I am annoyed or entertained by your obviously troll comments. Perhaps both!
