17 Cartoons About Parenting That I Made To Honor Motherhood (2024)

New appreciation for my mom. These are great.

These are great!Though I don't really agree with the last one, that "nothing really" happens when you're late. Being late means you had somewhere to be at a specific time, like a meeting or an appointment, which means it involves other people and leaving them waiting shows disrespect. Of course there can be a reason, but saying "nothing happens" is wrong in this context, because you're wasting someone else's time that the person will never get back, and I think that is an important thing for kids to learn, too. Respect for other people and to value someone who gifts you their time.

Thanks for those cartoons, I can relate so much - the chaos, the exhaustion, the sleep deprivation, the endless amount of patience that is required. And at the same time all the small and big joys of being a parent. If I may suggest, there's one missing about bedtime, when you breastfeed, read and sing for hours on end until you fall asleep, while you baby and toddler move off into the play room.
