Having children is one of the most meaningful experiences in life. However, being a mother is not only sunshine and rainbows. Thinking so might be a little naive.
As a parent, your obligations are endless, especially during the first years. Thankfully, the memories you make will make all the effort worth it!
Being a mother, however – still is a full-time job.
The hardest job in the world
When we think of the most challenging jobs you can have, things like sewer or construction workers come to mind, and with a good reason. But for the French artist Nathalie Jomard, the hardest job is something completely different.
She believes that the world’s most difficult job is to raise a child. To prove it, she created a series of hilarious, yet frustratingly relatable illustrations to show the struggles of being a mother. And it’s no surprise the images took the internet by storm.
Becoming a parent flips your life upside down and everything changes. You say goodbye to your time alone and helplessly witness how your body starts changing.
This might be an eye-opener for anyone who believes motherhood is easy and comes without sacrifices. Instead, without a doubt, it is both a new lifestyle and a full-time job.
Here is a list with 17 pictures that prove being a mother is the hardest job in the world!
