Some people don’t realise how hard it is to be a mom.

Especially a young mom.

Whenever I see posts on the internet about motherhood, they usually include flower crowns, a calm sleeping baby, or a nicely dressed mom holding a smiling happy baby.

It really isn’t that way.

Becoming a mom takes blood and sweat, literally. You have no idea of the sacrifices your mother made just to bring you into this world. And after that, too. So, two illustrators, Ingebritt ter Veld and Corinne de Vries, created cartoons about life as a young mom, inspired by their own experience. They’re brutally honest, painful, embarrassing and hilarious as well! Check them out:
