Being a new parent is a bit like surviving a major catastrophy- you’re always dirty and tired, you live in fear of sickness and know that things can get downright nasty in the blink of an eye

These adorable, yet very realistic comics by Lucy Scott are part of her book Diary Of A New Mom, which is full of graphic depictions of how having a baby changes a mother's life. At least they'll appreciate all your hard work when they're teenagers!

That's what the book presentation says but what's is it like in your house?

By the way how did you celebrate mother's day?
