20 Funny Illustrations of New Parenthood Struggles

If you’ve ever grappled with losing baby weight, leaving your child at daycare or, um, “misplacing” the baby, illustrator and mother of two Line Severinsen can relate–which is why she started making hysterical cartoons of her real-life motherhood problems.

“I thought to myself that there is no way that no other people felt and looked like I did,” she wrote. “So I wanted to create a counterpoint to help people like me to understand that they weren’t alone and that it is OK to feel and act less than perfect sometimes.”

And, as you’ll see, these illustrations are spot-on, kicking it off with a mom who accidentally drops her phone on the baby:

No I did not drop a cell phone on my baby’s head🤕, but I know someone who did 🤐😱😆 #kosogkaos #parenting #parentsoftheyear #mommylife #animation #animasjon #loop
