Gets me right in the feels. This is my home, neighborhood and culture and I feel helpless.

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

I like how the mum is saying that it makes her sad when her kid yells at her ಠ◡ಠ

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

I used to tell my kids I would embarras them in public whenever they fought like that and pretended to take off my shirt. It always worked.

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Totally not TMI if you have/live with/care for a small child...you'd understand. It helps people relate to unpleasant things that happen too.

Alicia Keys named it wrong, obviously

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My sister and I have our "own seats" in the car but she always wants to sit on my seat because it's like, WAY cleaner. So it's practically the Hunger Games in the ten minutes before we get in the car.

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

But mommy, you clean way better than I do!

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Kids think we are morons! Little do they know!

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Kid- (after interrupting 12 times) Mommy! I have something REALLY important I need to tell you! Me- What's that? Kid- I have a green crayon!

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Yep. Right now "Quiet Time" consists of screaming Loud House songs by Luna Loud. (I love the songs and Luna, but it's def NOT quiet)

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My daughter asks these same questions ALL THE TIME! I would say it's half my fault for convincing her that I'm a mind reader.

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Yay for Catan!! I played that when I was kid!!

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Or I’m too tired! *racing around the house*

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Yes! When they decide they all of a sudden need to eat their dinner because it’s bedtime, they eat. Because that’s what mommies do.

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

One time I fell asleep while reading, and when I woke up I was poking the page of the book with my finger like I was trying to use my phone haha!

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

Eeeendless energy. REALLY endless. And then: "Mooooooo-ooooom? I'm soooooo excausted and tiiiiired." (Falls dramatically on the floor). She is 4.......

My 30 Comics From 2019 About Life Lessons

What's your definition of a hero?

17 Cartoons About Parenting That I Made To Honor Motherhood

So there are countries where traffic light buttons don't exist? I want to live there! It least until I don't have to lift my kid with stroller and all to help him push that button (or accept another tantrum).

Oh my goodness, you're right!!

LOL! yes my almost 7yo takes his 1,5 yo brother with him whenever he's scared too :D

17 Cartoons About Parenting That I Made To Honor Motherhood

Absolutely! Only because of that, I tend to get stressed every time we're leaving the house. Even though nobody cares if you drop them off 5 minutes late at daycare, I behave as if we're trying to catch a plane ;)
