These Hilarious Photos Capture What Parenting Looks Like For Most Of Us

Trine Jensen-Burke

It is very easy these days, in a world of edited snaps and beautifully styled Instagram profiles, to make family life look like the most blissful, perfect existence.

In reality, though, to any of us who actually have children and are living out family life every day, we know that while pretty pictures are one thing, reality most often looks entirely different.

Which is why we found ourselves in stitches at these very honest and oh-so real snaps of “family life” by US-based family photographer Danielle Guenther.

Her photo series Best Case Scenario depicts scenes that most of us parents can relate to (well, I know I can, anyway!):
