Mom Illustrates What Raising Kids Is Like In 30 Honest Comics

Hahaha

God yes. Our daughter is 7 and it still takes 30 minutes just to leave. Long gone are the days of just putting shoes on and grabbing my keys.

I like this

This is so real. My daughter kicks like a pro every time I try to change her diaper.

I always remind her that the sun never really sets, we're just moving around it. When it's dark here it's morning in other parts of the world and we're just sharing the sun until it's our turn again.

HA!! I think every momma knows this feeling!!

Soooo accurate! Lol! Ahhhhhh!

In my case, this is why potty training ended at two. Lead by example.

Stop the double standards, they're both doing good.

This is kinda like something I heard about dogs that they are only a small part of your life but you are their whole life, so like be the best person you can be to them or something like that — albeit slightly different with a person since you will not be their whole life forever but at baby stage you kind of are

Ours was like a timer. Every night around 10, 1, and 4 I would change her, feed her and then put her back to sleep while my wife pumped.

And then the belt gets stuck. And baby scratches your face. And someone honks because your open door blocks them.

My Dad spoils my son in a different way. He's an amazing Romany Gypsy elder and has a traditional vardo bow wagon in the back garden and owns a 16 acre woodland which my son refers to as his "big garden". He lets my son make wooden sculptures with various tools, (supervised), and has loads of cool props and puppets and stuff he uses for work. He also writes kids stories and my son appears in a tonne of them and gets to go to events and such with him.

Hey, you hungry? - NO! Sleepy? - NO! Want the broom (favorite ...toy)? - NO! What can mommy do? - NO! (He's heading towards a Ph.D in homotopy now... 😐)

it's my special leaf, and I can't live without it!

Lol the feet

...to see if they are clean :))))

Be like you, and sleep like your parents.

No..that's why you tell everyone you're going to yoga when you're actually going out to have coffee with friends.

OMG super true!

😁

I always check their pulses

I still love wearing my cozy pants from pregnancy 😌 I can pull them up to my bra and always have a warm belly 🥰

The toilet paper is hung in the wrong direction.

I am so relieved!

Or they just eat the frosting

Or... make *insert exotic country* sandwiches...

This is what I call "potty racing" and I HATE it.

Until the teen age kicks in ..

Been there, done that

Ugh... yes! And if you ever admit this, be prepared to be judged harshly.

Oh God, yes....

Not for me,..... I guess I was not an " ideal mom" (and I made peace with that and being judged for enjoying work)

Oh yeah, I had the moment with my 16 yr old. Just knowing she'll be legally an adult makes me sad. It was so fun raising her!

For me, being a parent is a bliss. Yes, it is exhaustive.. But it is far better then the period of my life when I just work and spend all my time just for myself..

Knee creaking should be higher :)

Rebecca Ozuna,I read some other comments of yours and people are quick to judge,down-voting you.What I see is some-one in pain.In a perfect world every child should have loving and caring parents,but unfortunately that is not so.You survived childhood and now it is up to you to carve out a better life for yourself.If and when you have your own children you know just how you would like them to grow up.It is not easy to be a parent,lots of trials and errors,but violence is never the answer.I wish you the very best so put the past behind you.The past is the past.

Works on most cats too.

I would like a stuffed animal of that 2nd picture please. Too cute

Not my mom... like many Dominican, Spanish or Italian moms.

Every Day

At 7, she still sleeps sideways when she gets in our bed. From a bird's eye view we look like a giant N

Pretty much.

Grilled cheese or chicken nuggets, with V8 juice. It's still healthy.

My wife says this all the time. I tell her it's not a competition and our kid is doing just as good as all the others in school.

love the slippers!

be your kids friend

This goes for so so SO many things!

The only time they are strapped?

Right

Not true in all families. Please stop the male sterotypes. This is not the 50s anymore and many of us pitch in. We'll never do "as much" as the mother's because we're not the ones giving birth. How ever, I was the one doing the night time feedings and changings 4 times a night. I changed her first diaper and many more. I take her to the doctors and to school and do much more. Not all men are like the picture.

That one toy that makes too much noise.

Currently trying to keep 2 teenagers fed. They are NEVER full

oh how I wish this worked with my kid!!! ;)

I pledge to do as best as I can when the time comes up to answer this questions. Good chance to get them interested in science.

And screaming bloody hell when we leave.

Ha ha. Q minute to fully recharge.

Yep. Never remember the great ideas either - nothing to write on.

Or... short-haired flower-power all the time :)

I imagined talking like friends... ah, it started recently, he is 22 :)

Its the latest style

Lol

Bedtime is a formal declaration of war...

Forgive me honey, but these kids need my mom. She'd give them a real reason to cry about.
