What a year!
I can’t remember a more turbulent year. We got Trumped, Cheryl’s belly was scrutinised by the world, Brexit happened, Bob Dylan won the Nobel prize and Pokemon Go took over.
We had great fun putting together the best of our articles this year that will make you laugh out loud. Lord knows we need it this year more than ever!
Here is our collection of HerFamily Best of humour for 2016:
1. Parenting advice that SUCKED!
Random strangers on the street tell you that you’ve bought the wrong buggy, have your child wearing the wrong thing, they look over-fed, undernourished, happy/sad, up/down and whatever the weather it’s probably your fault because.. well, because you’re the grown up now.
Oh yes, welcome to Parenthood.
Here is the Most Stupid Parenting Advice We Ever Got
2. Dad’s on Parenthood
Men finding out what it is really like to parent is just simply funny.
“I’ve always thought of myself as pretty cool under pressure. But the first time I got that call that my wife’s waters had broken, something changed. The excitement of almost being a dad went straight out the window because holy fuck, a tiny human was about to come out of my wife.”

3. The real photos of parenthood:
If you are on the brink of parenthood, take a look at what your future might look like. And if you are in the trenches yourself, mamas, simply revel in the fact that we are not alone in the craziness.

6. Sleep Lark
Kids, they NEVER sleep when you want them to. And when they eventually head off to the lovely land of nod, they end up in the most hilarious contortions. One minute they’re wired to the max, legging it around the place like little wildlings, using their vocal chords in the only way they know how – loudly – the next, they’re like narcoleptics, collapsing in a state of exhaustion whenever and wherever they damn well please.
We asked you to send pics of your little munchkins dozing in the most precarious places, THIS is what they got up to:
7. Bloggers we love
One of the most relatable mummy bloggers is Hurrah For Gin writer Katie Kirby who had us all in stitches her stick figure cartoons that totally NAIL real parenting.
