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!!!

yeah my little brother always has to put his "special ornament" at the top of the tree, and I can't do it for him, he has to do it. It usually ends up with him trying to climb the couch to get to the tree, and then my mom comes in and yells at him

True, true, but now that mines are 26 & 24 I think of all the missing opportunities to play and enjoy them, like those 5 am jumping in bed times :)

I went to a ball pit only for adults (18+) several months ago. It was really fun :) It's a pity it was only for 2 weeks. They should open it permanently.

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 still feel like this about 'nipping out' and my kids are 12 and 9. Sometimes my husband says 'why don't you go with Mum and help her' and my heart sinks. Is that terrible?

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 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!!

My favorite was when I would tell my son, "You're being a bad boy right now." and he would reply, "No I AMEN'T".... I simply ... could... not... keep... a... straight... face... when he said that!! ------------------- Naturally, he learned anytime he said that, he would get away with whatever he'd been doing - so he said it all the time for about 3 years straight.

LOL - actually, I would go along with it when my son said he wanted to be a super hero. Hey, why not?
