I've been drawing comics about life as a dad since my son was born three years ago. I use it as a visual journal (that I ultimately want to gift to my kid!), where I try to capture a moment a day.

When I started this journey of parenthood, I had no idea what I was doing. And after three years, I still sort of have no idea what I'm doing...but I do know parenting is as tough as it is rewarding.

So if you're parent, kudos to you! And if you're not a parent, well then tell your mom or dad kudos to them!

You can follow along with our adventures on Instagram, Facebook, or my website.

    My mother was laughing so hard she was crying when we realized my toddler found her mother's phone and the texts were NOT from an adult. She was just tapping the autocomplete bar like a toddler does, and we all got some insight into the standard conversations mommy has. Absolutely priceless!

    I love how is my son trying to do something on my phone with his cute small finger. And if I don't want it. I put the phone out of reach. The problem is when I want to do something important and he sees me. But in general I don't mind his interest in my phone.

    I hope all parents will let their kids wear whatever they want most the time, (if it's weather appropriate that is!!) It's such a great way for them to express themselves and be creative. I don't have kids, but I'm an artistic person, and it would be nice if children weren't forced to conform.

    I can remember being a toddler, and trying to communicate as people failed to understand me much of the time, which was very frustrating! I remember watching a soap opera, and although it was in English I couldn't follow a word of it. I could follow many things my family said tho.

    True. My mum wants to take my little brothers on vacation to another continent and they are only 4 and 5 years old, to which I told her that she's going to go out of her mind travelling with them, as well as the fact that they won't remember a thing. The first vacation I went on with her was when I was 7, and even at that age, I now hardly remember anything from the trip, almost 10 years later

    There’s an easy way around this. I have two ASD boys, and had previously worked with special needs children. Instead of allowing them to be overwhelmed with choice, and be (myself) annoyed, I would select 2, and then let them choose. It’s a way to speed things up, but make them feel that the choice was theirs. (worked really well to get fruit in. The only fruit either would eat between 18m and 5 years of age, were bananas. So when they wanted junk, I’d offer banana or apple. They were never going to pick the app,e, but then felt like the banana had been their idea).

    Cosleeping is for lazy parents. You deserve every foot in the spine and smack in the face.

    In Germany some blocks from the 1970ies have trash rooms, usually the room where the rubbish chute is.

    probably should have started sleep training before they became a stubborn toddler.

    It's hard isn't it? My daughter is now 20 but when she was little it was very challenging - she didn't like a lot of stuff. Hang in there :)

    They eat eventually. Just don't pander to their desire for unhealthy food. Fresh nourishing and at regular meal times works well

    Because when they grow they usually become belligerent . At 15 they think they know it all and they don't need parents to listen to their parents

    Yep..I agree. Coffee is a food group all on it's own. Why do you think there are so many different flavors of creamers....

    I had my child three years ago and my mom told me to never have her sleep in my bed, because she'd get used to it and then it'd be so difficult to get her to sleep in her own bed. Let me tell you, I regret listening. A lot of times I wish my daughter would want to sleep in my bed with me. I work all day, and she goes to sleep early at night so I barely see her :( cuddles at night would be nice. But she's so used to sleeping in her own bed, she doesn't ever want to sleep in mine. Trust me OP, you're lucky!

    I once vowed never to co-sleep. But then after my elder one was 1 year old we sometimes slept with her, which lead to regular co-sleeping. And I'm surprised that it's one of my most treasured parent-child moments!

    Kids get to an age where they don't let you do anything for them. They think they're big and want to do it all by themselves!

    I think he is putting his shoes on? Because in the 3rd box his shoes weren't on and in the 4th box his left shoe is partially on. I guess the cane is helping him put on shoes?

    This is not for the faint of heart (as the title goes) because he doesn't need parents help to get dressed. first time is heartbreaking.

    My 2 yo kid "fighting" with me to put his own diaper, after I convinced him that I don't need his help to clean his caca . Takes 2 minutes without his "help" or 30 minutes with "help". Nice phase though. They learn a lot.
