From Nap-Time To Feeding, These New Moms Capture Parenting Challenges In 10 Hilarious Cartoons!
Imagine going on a roller coaster ride but with a blindfold on, unaware of when you are about to go down and when in a loop – seems mind-boggling, no? Well, multiply that into 10 and that’s what parenting is like! Here are some absolutely hilarious (but true!) representations of parenting captured in a series of cartoons, by moms just like us.
Being a parent is juggling several balls at one go, not sure of where exactly you’re heading anyway. It has its own shares of ups and downs and every day is a new chapter to unfold. Sometimes, it may seem isolating and hard but it’s always nice to know that you aren’t alone and parents everywhere have faced similar situations. In fact, it is almost funny how accurate these everyday parenting challenges can be! Whether you’re a new parent or a more experienced one, there are certain situations that all parents can relate to.
Two mothers and famous mommy cartoonists Ali Solomon and Natalia Sabransky create cartoons depicting a typical parent’s life. And they are hilariously relatable! These cartoons are inspired from personal experiences. Natalia is a mum to her baby boy Santiago while Ali is mother of two gorgeous daughters.
