Being a father or a mother is one of the best things in this world – that is clear, our DNA pushes us to keep our species alive.
However, does it only bring benefits and joy? Well, in a way, yes. But you could argue against it and most new parents would agree, at times.
As a parent, the struggle is real – especially during the first years. But thankfully, the good outweighs the bad!
No matter how happy it makes you, the fact remains that being a mother – it’s actually a full-time job.
The hardest job in the world
It is said that the most challenging job one can have is to be president, but is that really true? Not really, according to the French artist Nathalie Jomard.
She believes that the world’s toughest job is to raise children. To prove it, she created a series of clever and relatable illustrations about a mother’s life, which has taken the internet by storm.
Becoming a parent changes everything. From saying goodbye to privacy to celebrating if you sleep more than 4 hours straight.
This should be an eye-opener for anyone who believes that being a mother is easy when instead, without a doubt, it is a full-time job.
