I love that she has a screwdriver in her hand. Its like either you come out mama are we are coming in :)
This is what i mean with peace is paradise. But moms will only appreciate it when they no longer have it.
Sometimes when I wake up, my younger brother is on my face! It's annoying, but cute! ✨
No but I have a cat that bites my toes at 5 am like clockwork!

My girls spread out like that, if we let them in. Cat gets locked out as well.
How do they know? Honestly, it's like they have an alarm system built in their brains.
I was like this as a kid. I'd never fall asleep because I knew my mom would leave as soon as I did. Usually she'd stay for so long she'd fall asleep. Only then would I sleep.
We had a townhouse with a loud board right at our girls doorway. They were 18 months and 3 months. We army crawled out of the room every time they slept
Both of mine were hard, just in different ways! Luckily they do get older...
I think of me, generally the golden child, except for crying a lot as a baby, and my younger sis, who got annoyed at me way too easily. She hit me frequently until she was about 7 (I was 10). She was very condescending towards me, despite being younger and a foot shorter (I was tall, she was normal height for her age), and that kind of broke my self esteem for years.

Oh, the stress pimples! I only got them when my step-parents stated how useless i was during my childhood. I think they made me the introvert that i am. But i love how well represented are the artist's two sides of her story.
You always have one easy kid and one hard one. Sometimes they even switch.
Mom must protect to the overprotective point.

S**t. I paint too and it's basically the most difficult thing to do ever. She just wants the same brush I'm using EVERY TIME
I'm sorry, but i won't be having mine. Not all women can be mothers or care for somebody's kiddies. I lack of patience and even doe i loove cats, i prefer not to have them. I'm an introvert that seeks for peace and quiet. Silence it's paradise.
Some people have one, two or three children, some people have six children or more and some people have no children at all. And it's all good :)
Load More Replies...Having children is not for all women, however it can be wonderful !!!
I don't think i could deal with them when they had reach the 'i hate you' stage. I had a lot of it from my step-parents.
Load More Replies...Gosh I don't have children so I don't understand these. Yup, total mystery to me. No comprendo. Je ne sais pas. I shouldn't even be here with you superior people with your invariably "beautiful" children.
My comment keeps repeating even though I only made it once. Sorry :(
Dont be crazy everyone. You all had been kids ones, thanks your mother you can enjoy this word. Dont be selfish a give a life to someone else, is hard but is also beautiful. No one can give you so much love and care in old age like family, not cats, not dogs, rabits...family means to be strong, not alone, not useless. Dont fear, kids scream only few years, later they run away, and you´ll be happy to see them :) Mothers are heroens!
Great painting skills but also getting as cliché as the cure cat pics!
Pictures capture the downsides of having kids perfect - that is exactly how of is sometimes. It'd be nice though to see some of the good too. Getting sticky cuddles, reading books together, having picknicks, building cushion forts, blowing bubbles. Generally becoming a kid again yourself and enjoying playing together. Yeah being a parent is hard work and frustrating at times, but it is can also be magical and wonderful and exciting.
You may be interested at Lunarbaboon and Brian Gordon's comic strips about parenting. These two have plenty of comics about parenthood, some show the hard times too, but so many of them offer a fun and lovely view on parenthood.
Load More Replies...Cause parenthood is only miserable, awful situations that make you wish you did not have a kid in the first place. I'm quite tired of showing motherhood as a really bad experience. Regret spills over from those and it makes me sad.
Face it people who don't have kids but want them. Kids change your whole life. It is no longer yours to control. I wish more people would really take a look at what having kids means before popping them out. I think its much more of a commitment than marriage. A marriage you can leave if it gets to be too much for you to handle, but kids? Nope, that is really is for life!
I have given birth 2 months ago.. I actually feel the same! :) solidarity feels good. Thank you for making this and sharing!!
I don't have children...can someone enlighten me on what I'm not understanding about this post, because I think I got it, but apparently I don't meet the qualifications to understand it.
I'm so with you. I don't have children, and I feel that I perfectly understand what is happening in all the above images and how the Mom is feeling.
Load More Replies...My thought is that this is meant to be funny, otherwise it does look like family life is all too stressful, it's not !!!
God this is boring. We have seen this a million times, you're not anything special because you spawned and now drawing those spawns.
