These Comical Parenting Illustrations Are Almost Too Relatable by Jessica Taylor
Parenting can be a beautiful journey, but let’s be honest—it often resembles a chaotic circus. A series of amusing comics by a talented illustrator brings to life many of those absurd moments that every parent can relate to.
According to The Daily Buzz, freelance artist Alex Green draws inspiration from her experiences as a mom of three little ones, aged nine, six, and one. Originally from Amsterdam, she now resides in sunny Los Angeles, where she shares her delightful work on Instagram and her personal website. By injecting humor into her illustrations, Alex finds it easier to “keep things in perspective.” She recalls receiving a comment suggesting she shouldn’t complain about parenting, as if it were a simple task. To that, she replied, “I’ve never viewed it negatively; I just like to joke about the challenges.” And why not? Parenting is undeniably tough—let’s not sugarcoat it.
As for her kids? They enjoy her comics but may not fully grasp their humor. “They love reading them, though I sometimes wonder if they really understand. My work often highlights peculiar behaviors that adults find odd but are completely normal for kids, like throwing a tantrum when someone else hits a button first,” she shares. So, while the kids see cool pictures of their daily lives, parents everywhere are nodding in agreement.
Alex captures both the mundane and the hilarious situations that resonate with every parent. For instance, she illustrates the frustrating moment when that pesky stroller tips over just as you manage to liberate your fussy child. Or the times when your little one makes an epic trek to your bedroom, insisting on an escort to the bathroom because they’re “scared.”
She perfectly depicts the struggle of changing a diaper on a baby who’s flailing like a wild raccoon. And who can forget the absurdity of being asked to pump or breastfeed in a bathroom? Through her art, Alex showcases the everyday hilarity of parenting toddlers.
As we navigate the ups and downs of raising young children, it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone in this journey. We all face the same dilemmas—whether it’s wrestling diaper cream from an unruly toddler or dodging tiny fingers poking at our eyes while holding a curious baby. Alex believes her work demonstrates that we all share the same struggles. And sometimes, a good laugh is just what we need to get through the day.
