A day in the life of a mother is jam-packed with surprises and little adventures. The comic series ‘Marie About Parenthood’ perfectly captures this. Created by Maria from Russia, who is raising two daughters aged 2 and 4, each comic is a delightful portrayal of the ups and downs of family life — all served with a generous dose of humor and a sprinkle of self-irony.
At Bright Side, we believe many of our readers with families will see a bit of themselves in these comics. Let’s dive in and see for ourselves!
“I was type 2, especially when I was pregnant with my second child.”
“Children grow up so fast. But your eldest child grows up the moment you have a new baby.”
“I hope you have time for a real vacation at some point.”
“I think all mothers did, still do, and will do it. On the other hand, your children won’t eat too much candy.”
“I’m so happy, baby, you can’t see my face.”
“The season of ‘let’s go home I can’t feel my feet’ is officially here.”
“The older my little bun becomes, the harder it gets to kiss her all over. She’s become so serious that I can’t get enough hugs with her.”
“When you have to decide within 2 seconds what’s more important to you”
“The mom is probably good but it’s still a question of whether your children will bring you a glass of water when you’re old without you needing to make a special clause for it in your will.”
“We have a combination — dad puts on a sock while mom puts on a boot. I won’t be telling you how we share responsibilities while wiping the kid’s butt.”
“It’s so funny to watch your toddler walking around the room, confidently talking on the phone.”
“I’d love to give up coffee, really! But so far, I don’t know any other way to ‘start’ myself up in the morning and maintain my stamina during the day.”
“The lips’ color is a real indicator. They can even be purple if your children sit in cold water for a long time.”
“Cleaning is a real test for me.”
“This is the way I feel.”
“If you let me sleep a couple of hours longer in the morning, I’ll kiss the entire world.”
Bonus: Every mom has a dream — let it be fulfilled.
