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).
More likely, they gave it TO Mom. Between the time my son was born and approx his 15th birthday, I had more colds, viruses and upper respiratory infections than I knew existed in the world... all caught from him (oh, did I mention he gave me Chicken Pox too?). Every time,he'd be sick for 1-2 days, but when I got it, I was sick for a week... every... freaking... time!!!

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".
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
