Some say being president is the hardest job in the world, but Nathalie Jomard disagrees. According to this French artist, there is nothing tougher than raising a child, and she has created playful and honest illustrations to prove it.

From huge body changes to not being able to peacefully go to the bathroom, Nathalie included a lot of the struggles women go through during different stages of maternity, and it's a real eye-opener for anyone who takes their mom for granted. Scroll down for the images, vote for your favorite ones and let us know in the comments if you agree that motherhood is the most responsible 'position.'

Meh. Kids should sleep into their own rooms. They can come sleep with their parents if they have nightmares once in a while, but not make it a a habit.

You are so right! My sister would throw any book I brought out the window. As a mother of 4 she just told me to breath and go with my gut. Best parenting advice ever!!!

What do you mean? Just tell them they died. Everything dies. Might as well get to know that fact early in life, that way they don't end up wasting too much of their life on trivial things.
