Mom Illustrates How A 2-Year-Old Can Hurt You And It’s Too Painful
All of us, parents or not, know that having little kids has its curses as well as blessings. From hearing their first word to changing diapers, raising kids is one hell of a rollercoaster that leaves parents exhausted, crying (happy tears or not) and passed out. Weng Chen, the Seattle-based genius behind ‘The Adventures of Messy Cow’ comics has rewarded us with another funny comics series, this time focusing on the many hazards that parents often face.
“I’ve done a lot of cartoon drawings and comics when I was younger but stopped for a long time. One side effect of having children is that it gives you the real sense of mortality. When my second child turned two, I had the urge to start again because if I didn’t, I might never achieve my dream.” while addressing what inspired her to start creating, Weng Chen told Bored Panda. Her latest parenting comics series “How a two-year-old can hurt you” explores the various ways a child can hurt their parent in a comical, light-hearted way. “It was fun and meaningful to document my children’s growth, as well as mine. The parents from all over the world told me how this is just like their life experience. I’m happy to know that I was not alone in this parenting situation, and so do other people who read my comics.” the mom of two added, commenting on what lies behind the series.
Scroll down below to check out the funny drawings and don’t forget to tell us what you think (or if you relate to any of the situations)!

Unfortunately this all starts before 2. Depending on they start to walk and climb. The excessive talking one is the only one that really starts after 2 .
Load More Replies...Except for the diaper, there's not much difference here from my cats. They LOVE to climb on something high and then dive off it like Superman (front paws outstretched making little kitty fists) and put their full weight into my kidney while I sleep. My kitten tries to jump in my lap but can't jump that high so she instead digs her claws into my thighs and then slowly slides down while gouging out chunks of thigh flesh. They love to sit their little kitty buttholes on my face when I sleep. So much more pain. Totally worth it (I keep telling myself).
HAHAHA! Love these comics. But it does hurt like a b***h to be kicked in the crotch for women too. We have balls too, on the inside... (Wow. Way for keeping it PG, Kiahna. Anyway, you know what I meant. Hopefully)
I know what you mean and you are absolutely right! Went for a scan once (with the scanning wand that goes inside) and the operator kept prodding them!! Proud of myself for not battering her with the monitor.

This is basically a comic on why I doubt I'll ever want children. I only rarely find them cute so there's a net loss for me. I've got my cat, and she's generally gentle with me.
Yeah unless you think kids are cute, all of this stuff seems like a total nightmare. Parents rarely seem to enjoy parenting and I think the main reason these things don’t bother them so much is because they think their kids are cute.

Load More Replies...I got my clothes back from the cleaners and printed on the bag it said: "To avoid death by suffocation, keep away from small children." So I have kept away from small children and I am still alive! I had no idea they were so dangerous!!!
This should be shown in ALL schools to ALL teenagers. Teenage pregnancy would plummet overnight.
Yes, though they'd probably laugh and think it's cute. Everyone thinks their child will be closer to them and better behaved than everyone else's until they get their own.

When my parents took me on my first car ride to sweden at the age of two, they had a 11 hour hell, just joking I slept almost half of the ride, getting me to bed was worse :). Instead of asking if we were there yet, I supposedly kept asking if we were on vacation yet.
Amusing, but please don't buy your toddler high heels. What are you thinking? So much wrong.
I know the feeling of this. Once I was at a party and some young children (about 2-5) started climbing on me and beating me up..
More More I need more if I want to live omg if my sister was that bad I would have been 💀 dead the day she was born
I remember I was just about to give my youngest son a kiss on his head while he was sleeping. Exactly at that time he “decided” to turn around. Too bad he lifted his head first and... hit my nose. 😳😱😖
I was almost knocked out by a baby's head one day. I was holding a friend's kid in my lap, and he was standing on me. He suddenly bashed me in the face and bout broke my nose w the back of his head. I saw stars, and tried not to drop him on the floor. Hurt like hell too. Gave him back to his mommy! Here, take him, before I'm on passed out!
The nose one is worse for me, and I am my sisters brother ( she is 4 ) when I pretend to sleep in front of her she JABS her fingers into my eyes
Very true with two of my Nephews. With one of them already acting like a two year old at the age of one.
Dogs are better people in general than most people.
