Motherhood is definitely not all sunshine and rainbows. Especially when the mother is tired or stressed out. Just think - sleepless nights, added responsibility, less time for yourself, etc. Would you be smiling all the time? Of course not. Don't get me wrong, motherhood is a beautiful thing and totally worth all the sacrifices, but it definitely has a downside. These pictures of animals' expressions collected by Bored Panda perfectly capture what "the other side" of motherhood looks like. Keep on scrolling to take a look!

Do you have any pictures of animals showing what it's like to be a mother? Add them to the list and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

They refused to be separated, and won't leave that box even for a bigger one! They're precious, and all 7 kittens are healthy!
