THIS is what parenting actually looks like (in 15 gloriously accurate pictures)

I recently read a funny meme that stated: "Parenting is the scariest hood you will ever have to walk through."

And if you are a mum or a dad, I am sure you can relate. And if you have yet to take a leap into parenthood, here is a little selection of images to prepare you for what lies ahead: You will learn to take sleep whenever and wherever you can get it... Family photo sessions might be less Pinterest and more along the lines of this scenario... It can be dangerous for everyone involved... Dinner times of the past will be nothing but a memory... You will quickly learn how much damage one little tub of Sudocream can cause... Soon enough you will learn the hard way how a quiet toddler is never a good thing... You will have to perform the strangest rescue operations on a daily basis... Having an uninterrupted conversation with other adults will become rather tricky... You will be equally amazed and disgusted by how much liquid a tiny body can hold... Your house will never look the same again... The same goes for your body... You will start to fear tomato sauce... And markers.... Especially markers.... You will learn to get comfortable in the strangest positions... And realize sometimes you just got to go with the flow... Ah, parenthood! Now, dear readers, we would LOVE to see some of YOUR craziest parenthood pictures! If you fancy sharing all the LOLs with us, send me an e-mail at Trine.Jensen@HerFamily.ie
