Being a parent can sometimes be stressful. The best thing to do is look for humor in the little things to help maintain some sanity. Here are a few comics illustrating some of the shared experiences of parents all over the world!

My dad would always let me do stuff my mom wouldn't. Eat candy and junk food, read books when I was eating, walk on the wall at the park that was only 2 feet high on one side but had a 12 foot drop on the other...

That’s what dads are for; dangling you over the guardrails of the lion pit at the zoo so you can see the kitties while your mom screams in the background.

I've always enjoyed making comics, but becoming a parent gave me more inspiration than I could have imagined. Being able to channel my creativity this way has helped me with all the ups and downs that have come with the change of becoming a parent. That said, I love being a mom! It is just the craziest experience, and sometimes I can't believe I made a whole person. When I'm not making comics, I enjoy playing video games, working out, and gardening.

Since my last post, my kid got older. It's funny how each new stage brings new inspiration. I've actually shifted a bit away from comics focusing on things he says and does and more about my reactions and experiences. I want to make sure I respect his privacy and be mindful of what I'm sharing since some of my comics are seen by thousands and, in some comics, millions of people.

Mine too. After school, I ask her what she did today, and she'll respond "I don't remember". Then at bedtime, she'll tell me EVERYTHING. All the playground gossip, what she & each of her friends ate for lunch... etc.

My son comes home from school. Me: what did you do today? Him: I don‘t know. Him in bed, when it is time to sleep: Mom x did y today and I was z and then c happened…….
Making comics helps influence me into being a more mindful and present mom. Being able to process some of the things in my life through art makes things a little easier. It also allows me to be creative. As an artist, it can sometimes be difficult to find inspiration to make what I would call "real" art, but making comics really scratches the creative itch.
Even though I share my comics on social media, I have an entire book of comics that are just for my son. These are more personal, sentimental comics, and I plan on giving him the book one day when he's older. Along with that, I've actually kept a diary since I was around 18 weeks pregnant. I thought it would be neat for him to get to know me a little better and get an idea of what was going on in the world before he was able to be aware of it.

That’s how my toddler sister says fork… when she drops her fork, she says “OH NO! FORK!” But not…
Natalie Boston 2 years ago
My daughter usually spoke clearly, but got sick one day. I made her something to eat and she asked for a fork. A small pop in the mouth and she sat down and got quiet for a minute. I feel like such an a*****e when I realized what she was actually saying. I still apologize to her sometimes for it and she's 19.

We’re not teaching our son that ‘bad’ words even exist…nor are we reacting if/when he uses one.
My plans for 2023 include pushing myself outside my comfort zone. I'm afraid of failure, isn't everyone? But I want to keep trying to network and grow my audience and create an even more connected parenting community.
Thanks for checking my post! I love seeing people connect with my experiences and with one another, being a parent is really hard, and you aren't alone! Please feel free to also follow me on Facebook and consider supporting me on Patreon, where I will be sharing exclusive content.

My high school ceramics teacher had an answer for everything. I said that I like making bumpy pots, it's artistic. He told me about an African tribe that does this because they like the way it looks too. So as soon as I make appt without bumps to show I can do it, I'm welcome to make the rest bumpy.

As someone who was raised entirely on original Grimm's fairytales and did not see any disney princess movies until i was a teenager, I approve of this.

I don't know much about Grimm's fairy tales. But I want to hear this version that the mom is telling to her child.
Ela 2 years ago
It's the original. Grimm's fairy tales are grim. The original works were meant to scare children into behaving more than entertain them, but I admit I read them as a very young child and if you grow up with them the creep factor is different somehow.

My mother still talks about the abject terror of fearing she would lose consciousness and roll over on the baby in her arms. She was laying on the couch and I swear half the world dropped in that day. Everyone dropping off casseroles, oohing at the newborn, grumbling that she hadn't finished the housework (four children under 5!) and leaving again. Until my grandmother dropped in and raced her to the hospital. Raging purpural (sp?) infection. Her doctor said it was a good thing no one had taken the baby because he thought there was a good chance she would have died if she hadn't been fighting to stay conscious for her.

We had to make “Restaurant Rules” 1) Sit proper 2) no throwing anything 3) inside voice. That somehow worked wonders. We rehearsed the rules on the drive to every restaurant every time for a looooong time. Hit me up for classic sequels such as Swim Class Rules!

Here we see the wild species, widely known as "toddlers", shredding their mortal enemy in the wild, the "pinata". Notice the xanthotrichous toddler wildly swinging a makeshift tool at its enemy, successfully rendering it dead. Watch as the toddlers feast on the innards of their prey, each toddler scrambling to get the most out of the kill. What's this? It seems the xanthotrichous toddler is wearing the remains of its kill, how brutal...well, that's all for this episode of Wild Child documentaries. We hope to see you in the next episode, until then, farewell.
