Having kids is one of the best experiences you can have. That being said, kids do come with a few downsides…
It’s tough being a parent, especially for the first few years – but thankfully the positives outweigh the negatives.
That being said, being the mother of a little rapscallion is nothing short of a full-time job.
Some people say that the most demanding job out there is being the president or prime minister of your country, but is that really true? Not so, says the French artist Nathalie Jomard. She claims that the toughest job of all is raising a kid, and decided to prove this by drawing imaginative and brilliant pictures of what it means to be a mom – and now they are taking the internet by storm!
Becoming a parent will turn your everyday life upside-down – almost everything will change. Suddenly it’s hard getting a single moment’s privacy, and your body goes through changes you’ve never experienced before.
This should be a real eye-opener to those who think that motherhood is something easy and comfortable, when it is in fact a lifestyle and a full-time job.
