Mom Illustrates What Raising Kids Is Like In 30 Honest Comics

Me to mother of three-year-old triplets: "At least you get to go to the bathroom undisturbed. They've got each other to play with." She, sighing: "The three of them bang on the door together."

This is so true! I never lock the door because of my toddlers. My teenage son, however, hates that I never lock the door

Oh oof

Soooooo true

this is actually really wholesome

I remember people used to do crosswords or read books when they were at the playground with their kids. Nowadays, those same people judge the parents that look at their phone on the playground. Double standard.

Yeah I hate these people who see you look at a phone once and decide you are abusing your child. Kids don't need to be stare at/talked to/played with every minute of the day!

Ergh yes... Got blamed for not paying attention while I was walking down because I was on my phone while riding the stroller 🤦🏾‍♀️

I saw nothing...

So very TRUE, Moms do so much that goes unseen, It's hilarious but so important to keep family going!👍 Bless you Paula your drawings are so right on, don't forget the laundry that is never ending, I was there 60+ years ago with my 3 treasur! 💖 Keep it up!!🌹

Facts. Me time. Cupcake time.

The mother and baby don't really share a blood supply, the placenta keeps the baby's blood separate from the mother's. Oxygen, co2, nutrients, etc pass through the placenta but normally there's no intermingling of blood.

She forgot cookies, ice cream and candy bars. Hey...even a mother has her limits in the "sharing" department.

And you need to stop asking

This is so good! I love my kids. I do everything for them. I go to lengths I would have never demmed possible. Yet I HATE it when they steal food from my plate!

It wasn't until I was on baby four that I realised you could do all this from the other end and grip the little monster's head/shoulders between your knees to stop them flipping.

I remember this with my kids.

Except an alligator probably won't pee and poop on you.

My sons are 25 and 40 now.........the 2nd part of the pic is me trying to get them to mow the lawn. ;-) Thank you

I used to give my son a toy so this wouldn’t happen

This can be a message for everyone ♥♥♥, not just the mommies out there but for all of us who might be feeling gloomy at night.

That's beautiful. Mother's often feel lonely because no one admitted the struggle. Since I have a excuse to do it (single mother of 2 yo and 4 yo) always admire how many mothers are struggling in silence.

This one hits hard. I had post partum depression and I use to dread night time. I would nurse/hold the baby, stare out the window and pray for morning,

My sister in law just had a baby. I get to hear about this. Why do people always think they know best when it comes to raising a child???

I don’t have kids but this is me talking to my fiancé. I just want to complain, I don’t really give a s**t about the solutions, I probably already knew them. I just want to vent.

Seriously have to stop myself from trying to offer help to my dil.

Listening filter: "Listening to give advice"

I get this, and can still be part of the problem.

👌🏻

I never even did that with the first one lmao

And the third baby, run errands and drives your car.

I´m so second kid!

There's literally no poop privacy in my house, my son always wants cuddles when I'm going and he's got autism and is delayed in a few areas. He's 7 but needs help wiping so you hear "chhheeeccckkk wwwwiiipppeee!" echoing around the house, only to come up the stairs to a naked bum sticking right out at you as both the loo and the door are right at the top of the stairs!

Whooaaa lmao

So true that’s me and my little brother

Me making pipi in a pizzaria when my kid finally found how locks work. Thanks to the kind lady that trow my kid back inside and stay outside the door.

Add the dog too! 😆

I hate this as a father, like we are incapable of caring for our children. And no, I'm not babysitting, I'm parenting

Totally

All day every day
