Compiled by Bored Panda, these photos are crafted especially for non-parents, to give them a glimpse into the wonderful world of parenting.

Although it’s a little late for us (after all, if you are reading this you probably already have kids and know the struggles ALL too well), make sure you pass these on to any of your friends or family members who are considering children in the future.

Because it’s only fair we give them adequate warning on what’s ahead.


1. Toileting for two

First rule of parenting? You never pee alone. Ever.

In full saddle might we add.

8. Mother’s Day meltdown

How pretty does Mum look in her fancy frock and combed hair? Why does she look so nice? Because it’s HER day. The only day of the year JUST FOR HER.

And what’s she doing on HER day? Cutting her daughter’s skirt out of her scooter after she got it caught in the axle wheel.  Yep. Pretty much sums up how my Mother’s Days go too.

9. You Gain so Much

A full heart, a happy home, an unwavering sense of gratitude and pride… But you do have to give up A LOT when you become a mum.

15. Spew for You

Let’s end on a high note, shall we? Like when your child wants a shoulder ride and then vomits his breakfast all over your head. Fun times. Fun times.

But, of course, ask anyone without kids and you’re going to get the same answer – “My kid will never act like that.”

Yep, that’s what we all said too. Before we found ourselves wandering the streets covered in spew.

It’s not all half-eaten strawberries and missing socks though, right? Of course not! There’s plenty of kisses, cuddles and cuteness along the way. And, for those days that do end in disaster, there’s wine.
