‘Got Toddlered’: 40 Funny Parenting Pics That Show How Much Your Life Changes Once You Have Kids (New Pics)
Your life completely changes when you have children. Oh, you might think you know how much of a lifestyle shift waits for you, our sweet summer Pandas, but there is nothing that can fully prepare you for parenthood!
It’s a wild ride with intense challenges, endless exhaustion, and a general sense that Chaos might actually be the fundamental state of the universe. Parties with friends and active hobbies morph into changing diapers and grabbing 5-minute naps wherever and whenever you can fit them. But it’s all very much worth it in the end.
The ‘Got Toddlered’ Instagram page is a fantastic digital archive showing just how huge these changes can be. Parents send in their photos of what they looked like before creating a family and pics after they became parents. They’re hilarious, relatable, and remind all of us of a comforting fact—we are all in this together! Upvote your fave pics, Pandas. And if you happen to be a parent, we’d love to hear what advice you’d give someone who just had their first child.
Here at Bored Panda, we’re huge fans of ‘Got Toddlered.’ When you’ve enjoyed this list to the fullest, be sure to check out our earlier features here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. And be sure to follow the socials if you enjoyed the pics!

From Raised Up To Passed Out
The ‘Got Toddlered’ Instagram page is the brainchild of Mike Julianelle, from Brooklyn. He’s also the founder of the massively popular ‘Dad and Buried’ social media project, and the creator of a podcast by the same name. He’s a fan of puns, wit, and good humor.
The last time that Bored Panda spoke with Mike, he quipped: “Look, I don’t hate my kids, I just hate parenting. That’s really all it boils down to, and is the premise behind all my Dad and Buried stuff—my blog, my Instagram page, my Facebook, and my podcast—and my Got Toddlered account.”

If my sister has more kids, I'm showing them pictures about how mommy and daddy don't have any money for toys for them cause the oldest had more than a toys r us.

And BP didn't censor the title! What is the world coming to...free speech at last!
“Job interviews are stressful no matter what stage of life you’re at, but, like everything else, having children raises the stress exponentially. I’m not just providing for myself anymore, and the stakes are much higher now; the consequences of blowing a job interview are a lot more intense. And so was getting there, because I had to take my toddler with me,” he said earlier.
"Being unemployed, we can’t afford childcare, so I had to ride the subway, in a full suit, on one of the hottest days of the summer, with my toddler on my lap and/or napping next to me. Thankfully I didn’t have to bring him to the interview itself; I was able to drop him with my wife. The logistics of all of this— the scheduling, the traveling, the hand off, the carrying of a sleeping toddler across Manhattan while sweat poured off me like a waterfall, etc.—were incredibly complicated,” Mike said.
"None of this was ideal. But I had to do it, I had to put my best foot forward for the job, so I can provide for my family, and, more importantly, so I can get the hell out of my house. I can’t handle being a stay-at-home dad for another minute!" he joked.

Always have a shawl on hand to cover the spontaneous lactating stain....
Dealing with parental exhaustion and how to tell if you’re reading to be a parent are two topics that we’ve covered before here at Bored Panda. A while back, comedy writer and single mom Ariane Sherine shared with Bored Panda that parenting is very hard work that is very much worth it. Raising kids can be very tiring: sleep deprivation, poor diet choices, a lack of movement and social contact can all rear their heads.
However, as they grow and start going to school, parents find that they have more time to themselves. They can dedicate a few hours to pampering themselves, spending time with their beloved hobbies, working out, and meeting friends. And all of the other things that they feel they might’ve missed out while they were neck-deep in diapers and making airplane noises with spoonfuls of peas (yum!) in their hands.

"Your kid will probably grow out of whatever behavior they're displaying now. The first four years are the most difficult. But at age 4, they go to school, and then you get your life back a bit, for at least six hours a day. See if you can get some help each week, whether that's grandparents doing a bit of childcare or paying a childminder. Use the extra time to exercise self-care and pamper yourself, whether that means having a massage or just a soak in the bath—do things you wouldn't be able to do while looking after your child,” mom Ariane told Bored Panda.

She added that she truly believes that an essential part of being a good parent is wanting to have kids. “If you don't love the thought of being a mum or dad, you're likely to resent having to put your children first. Secondly, that love for them is what powers you through the difficult times—and there will be difficult times. So do it because you know your life wouldn't be complete if you don't,” she said that parents will have to sacrifice a lot of their time and energy for their children. There’s no other way forward.
"You might not feel as though you're doing a great job, but is your kid fed, clothed, warm, safe, happy and loved? Then you're doing brilliantly—cut yourself some slack.”

From Style And Grace To Stickers On Her Face (Why Did I Back Myself Into This Rhyming Corner
Meanwhile, dating and relationship expert Dan Bacon, from The Modern Man, said that one of the main changes in a parent’s life is that they will have far less spare time to do the things they want: their kids want and need your attention.
"You are no longer a couple anymore. You are a couple and parents at the same time. It’s difficult to understand what it is like to be a parent without actually doing it,” he explained to Bored Panda. At the core of parenting lies being responsible for others. You have to take care of your family before even thinking of taking care of yourself. Failing to do that can strain your relationship with your kids.

But while you’re busy taking care of everyone else, don’t forget about yourself either. You won’t be able to do your best for your family if you’re running on empty. Asking for help and even having a laugh at some relatable parenting stories and pics can help you refuel. Don’t forget—parents are all in this together. No matter what part of the world they’re in.

I know it's hard to have self care, when I have kids. I found, if you stay up two hours after they go to bed, you can pamper yourself. When you get up in the morning, instead of grabbing whatever to put on, take that extra 5 minutes to find something that makes you feel, more like you. I can put on make up ), and get dressed in 15 minutes. That's also stopping to take care of my grandsons. It's really not that hard to find 15 minutes for yourself. Put the kids in an activity before you start. One you Know will keep them busy for 10-15 minutes. You may still have to stop, and do something for them, but the end result for self care, is worth it.

My son was born with a liver disease called Biliary Atresia. He would throw up his entire bottle all over me. He wasn't gaining weight. He had just gotten out of the hospital for a cold. He was given an antacid. Went to his GI doctor and he wanted him to go back to the hospital to learn how to do a feeding tube. I said no. He just got on a medication and he isn't throwing up his bottles. So he sent me to the other GI doctor and he had put on 11 ounces in a week. Not saying for you to do this. Just giving information.

Some women's bodies, are able to snap right back after having babies. Then, there's women like me, that have to work at it. It has to be a mindset: I will snap back, and I will take care of myself too. I raised my two alone. They're now 33, & 35 yo. My grandsons, are 4 3/4, & 8 yo. I've been raising them both since they were born. When I'm ready to face the day (after coffee, and morning meds kick in), I change into something decent, but stain Worthy. I put on eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow. I'll fix my hair in a different way than the day before. Most times, stopping to take care of them a few times. I have cancer, and another illness that eats away at my energy. Before my grandsons got older, I would get them busy with something so I could pamper myself when I get dressed. I've Never lived in my pajamas, changing into something that makes me feel better about myself, is worth it. You look amazing by the way!!

To be fair, I look at my babies and wonder why anyone would want a child free life. I don’t mean that it a rude or judgmental manner. It’s just a curiosity.

If I could go back and talk to myself before I had kids, I would say, "Don't worry so much. Sure, there are trade-offs, but they're worth it. Try to enjoy having little kids while it lasts!"

As a single mom of a nearly 20 year old, I wouldn't trade any of those growing up moments for anything. Yeah some moments really made me wonder if it was worth it, but looking back there were waaaay more wonderful moments than not. Every part of parenting has shaped me into a better person because of it. And my daughter has forever been my best friend. We are often on the same wavelength and have a incredible 6th sense with eachother even though she's nearly 80 miles away in her 2nd year of college.

My daughter is in her third year, and I think it’s just as magical a time, right? Even better, since we get to do girlfriend-y things now! We have so much fun. Though my daughter is 620 miles away! *sobbing*
