I'm hitting 10 years of motherhood by the end of this year and along the way, I made a lot of cartoons about this adventure.

Yes, the kids brought a lot of meaning, love and joy, but let's face it, the struggles are the funniest (for others at least). Here's a selection of my best cartoons about parenting.

I used to wake up my sister to go with me to the bathroom and had her wait outside in case any monsters came for me. I cannot believe I did to her and she was YOUNGER than me!!!

They're not heroes. If you choose to have a child you agree to the responsibilities and the work it involves. Why is it being a hero?

Umm, not to spoil all the fun, but you do realize dads also go through pretty much all the stuff depicted here, right?

It really bothers me how people treat mothers compared to fathers. It's pathetic, honestly. Mom home with kids while dad is out "Oh you poor thing!" Dad home with kids while mom is out "Good! Mom probably needed a break." Yes, there was once a time many decades ago where mothers did all the child rearing and fathers did all the everything else... but how freaking long are people going to keep their heads 60years up their asses? Another 60 years? I certainly hope not!

We forget about that last frame....and those are the ones that will stay in your children's finest memories of growing up with you... And that last frame will happen in your kids' homes when they have kids of their own - because they know - that is what parents do.

Her breast is engorged and leaking milk. To save people from having to stare at this photo wondering what a belly button volcano has to do with sleeping through the night.

In the third panel, the dad's shirt kind of looks like a middle finger. At least, that was my first impression. Still not sure what it's really supposed to be.

My kids have crazy day but it's on Friday. About once a month. It's fun for them.
