Katie Kirby, a 35-year-old British Mom of two, illustrates her daily parenting struggles in brutally honest, yet hilarious, cartoons. She started her blog about parenting in July 2013 to keep herself busy after the birth of her second son.
"I get a lot of messages and emails from people saying that they had a bad day, but after reading my blog they were able to laugh about it and feel relieved others were going through the same too," she said. "People shouldn't feel like they are a rubbish parent just because they had to drag their kid kicking and screaming out of Tesco's. It happens to the best of us!"

This assumes that once the kids are in bed, there aren't 27 piles of laundry, a sink full of dirty dishes, spilled juice on the kitchen floor, and a dog covered in a rainbow of sidewalk chalk that all need to be dealt with before the parents (or mom) can even sit down, let alone fall asleep (anywhere).
My daughter does this every single day! She won't dinner because for dinner is not food and then ask for a dessert, I tell her she can't have one if she does not eat, then she would choose the small bread I put on the side of her plate, eat it and tell me "I had dinner now dessert".
Kids scream embarrassing things. My friend heard, "Mum, why do we have to buy chicken? Let's kill pigeons in the park and eat them. They're free."
I was letting my five year old buy me a Christmas gift in the dollar tree. Well it took him like an hour to find the perfect gift. Well, finally he got all excited and said he found not one but two perfect gifts. So I was like whatever just get both.So I hid my eyes while he payed and the women just laughter and smiled and I was going to really like them. So when we got home he waited on my husband to get home to wrap it. Well when he got home and my son showed him what he got me in the other room all I heard was laughting. Then my husband informed me he bought a wine glass that said mommies slippy cup and a pregnancy test. Reason is he see's them in the bathroom, due to me and my husband are try to have another kid. I was so embarrassed.
i bought a small bottle of beer for me and a bigone for my husband. my 2-year-old daughter pointed on the bigone: "mommys drink!" and the smallone: "daddys drink!" i decided just to blush BADLY.
I never take my son to a liquor aisle or store..he'll bring everything down.
I seriously did this when my kid was 4 & I went back to work. The only day I got to sleep in & she was capable of entertaining herself, I'd fill a baggie with cereal & a sippy cup with milk in the fridge. She'd watch cartoons & have her "alone" morning & she loved it. Sometimes survival makes you do inventive things.
Best way to have your kids do crafty things... take them to a craft workshop, so the mess is in someone else's place!!
LOL - actually, I would go along with it when my son said he wanted to be a super hero. Hey, why not?
Quite a few of these made me laugh out loud! They're funny because they're true.
Crystal, you probably forgot how it used to be once :D Or is this true only for boys? :D
