I believe that when a woman becomes a mom she gains some kind of super powers. It's simply too hard to believe that they are all that good in multitasking, caring and selflessness without any kind of magic.
Lucy Knisley is a cartoonist and one of those magical moms. She draws adorable illustrations about her life as a mother to a 10-month old baby boy that she calls Pal (short for "Palindrome," because his birthday was a palindrome date). It's not the real name of the adorable one, but Lucy did not want to subject him to Internet name recognition.
Lucy explores various topics about how a child might affect your life - from sleepless nights to friends and fears.
Take a look at some of her comics and vote for your favorite ones.

She's just had more practice. Have a couple more kids and you'll have it down to a science.
if shes american, she has a mexican maid, they call her madre and speak spanish fluently at age 6.
that perfect mom was my mom - we will never know, she said it's a secret only passed down to our wives, but never the boys
We are in that situation, and our 3 are pretty much that age. What you don't see is the hours and hours of practiced preparation to go anywhere. Even still, we have never looked like that. It makes it even more interesting with our two girls, Eternal Drama Princess, and the Wicked Queen.
She's a mother of three. That's how she knows. She's done it three times.
Follow your feelings....If you love your kids, then everything will be fine
Some people beat s**t out of their children and say they love them.

Ha! Every mother I've met is like "When they go to sleep, we have to be extra quiet because I need that time alone for once".
Every day. I get excited when I have an hour or two without the toddler, then I miss her immediately. #motherhood
When I get a baby I will definitely do this when my wife least expect it. It will make her either laugh or drive her insane!... But first I need a wife.
My husband used to do that all the time when our son was a baby. Made me laugh every time.
My youngest baby used to have natural mohawk hair, but her eldest sister didnt like it and always pet her head to flatten the hair
So satisfying when it works. Heartbreaking when it doesn't. I had one of each!
My 11 month old will walk over as fast as he can anytime I pull a boob out, it's magic
We now travel with all five of us having our stuff in a single laundry basket. Hubby lifts and off we go!
Finally, posting about baby. I start to think that BoredPanda is all about pet :)
What are you talking about? They post a ton of stuff about children.

The one on the right, with the big head, looks dead. Seriously creepy... Lol I had to go in and check on my 3 month old son, his head is rather large too..
It’s happening to me now and I’m 11. I’m about 60% legs

Decide your reaction based on theirs, not theirs off of yours. They're usually okay but will sense its worse if they see or hear panic.. Sponges!
My first baby never sleep for her first 3 months, I almost felt of the bridge with my car, sleep while driving, then i took her to my mother in law in the village, she put my baby to sleep just an instant in her arm (I think she cast a spell on the baby, I believe my mother in law is a guardian fairy for children)
Don't carry baby that way. It seems heavier and it's not good for him nor your back.
As a female teenager im scared of having kids

Yeah, really helpful, i put my baby in it and i can lay down beside her, resting
Load More Replies...I always breast feed my baby whe she cries. Boobs always solve problems
The hair falls out now because it grew so well and didn't fall out while you were pregnant!
My husband says he has never enjoyed a museum since our son was born... Doesn't stop him going though!
I can totally relate with the 4 am kick. One time I dreamt that I cannot breathe and I was asking a friend to take me to the hospital. When I came to it turns out my wiggly toddler is lying across my neck.Cosleeping may not be safe too for mommies.
i bet he has a whale of a time in the bath, it was money whale spent ;o)
The nurses gave my son a pacifier in the nicu, and now he's obsessed with it. Won't use the same type as back up, it has to be That One. I dread the day I finally lose it.
Near as I can tell, lass, you're a GREAT mother. Keep your good work up.
