Parenting may bring a lot of joy, but it comes with struggles too. Yehuda and Maya Devir are a married pair whose lives are vividly illustrated by Yehuda through his comic art. We can’t thank them enough for always making us laugh! This humorous pair has thrown a couple of kids into the mix over the years, and the series has developed into a comedic serial about family life.
So, if you’re a parent or are about to become one, you’ll adore these images! Having a family does not require you to be mature all of the time. In fact, having children can bring out the huge kid in you. Continue reading to see some of their incredibly relatable shenanigans!

Veggies Are Not Always Exciting
We may all recall when we didn’t want to eat our vegetables. It seemed to go on forever for some! Eating well is a skill that should be learned early in life, before children become addicted to sugar. You want to set a positive example at the dinner table when you become a parent. However, if you cannot put your words into action, there is another choice. Consume your treat discreetly and conceal the evidence!
Yehuda can be seen here eating a popsicle away from infant Devir. And while the mom is trying to make the baby eat avocado and lettuce, the father is munching on popsicles! Not a good idea, is it?
Sometimes It’s Hard To Keep A Straight Face
When the time comes, you’ll be mature enough to deal with things. But do we all act like adults all of the time? There are times we can’t keep ourselves from being cheeky. We guess this is what happened in Yehuda, Maya, and Baby Devir’s cases too.
After a tough day, mum announces that she will take a shower. The crowd has two reactions, as evidenced by their humorous thought bubbles. Baby only thinks about milk because that’s all she’s ever known. Dad has a lot of different ideas about what he wants to do.
Snot : Keeping Family Together
There is no doubt that when you have a toddler, the amount of mucus you deal with is plenty. Unfortunately, it’s just part of the package, and even germaphobe parents must face this brave, new world of snot. Sneezing, on the other hand, is a unique difficulty. It has the ability to detonate at any time and from any location with a force of 100 miles per hour. According to experts, one of these incidents can rapidly transmit 100,000 germs.
Here, Yehuda depicts a sneeze that caught mom and dad off guard. Everyone is smeared with muck. We know that real-life situations won’t be as dramatic as this, but still, we get the point!
When You Fell Asleep Without Finishing The Story
Reading to your child at a young age offers long-term benefits. However, children’s books may sometimes make you lose your interest when you are an adult. Every night, you might have to repeat the same story. Still, it is an investment that good parents are willing to make. Yehuda is sitting in a rocking chair, reading Rapunzel to baby Devir. The motion of the seat was most likely intended to lull her to sleep. But instead, this happened!
Dad appears to have dozed off first! For the time being, we know the princess has a long braid and wishes to flee the castle. Will she be imprisoned indefinitely?
Being Cheeky With Your Son
The joys of parenting are numerous for fathers. But watching your son play all the sports you’ve always wanted to try is a major one. Little league sports, whether football, basketball, or baseball, are always a great opportunity for a father and son to bond. However, in the world of athletics, things are more constrained throughout infancy. The motor skills are simply not there yet. But this kind of game works for the time being!
Here, a baby boy is rocking his mother back and forth with all his force while his father cheers him on. However, it appears the mother is not enjoying the ride at all!
Selfie Obsession Isn’t Just for Teenagers
We all want to photograph every moment of our lives. But there’s a case to be made for letting everything happen spontaneously, without pausing for photos. However, you don’t want to miss any opportunity to catch your newborn baby’s special moments on camera. Yehuda and Maya are seen here going crazy with their smartphones, shooting countless photos of their gorgeous little baby.
The early years, they say, pass in a blur. That expression has taken on new meaning in the age of the digital era. You won’t have to be concerned about missing opportunities again. On Instagram, everything is in order!
When You Blame the Baby for the Pool Pee
Everyone, bad news. According to specialists, the stinging in your eyes is not caused by the chlorine in the pool. It’s a reaction to another reaction: human pee interacting with the chemical. Yes, whether you like it or not, there is a lot of urine in a public pool. This statistic will have to stick with you. We’re wondering if it’s all due to the kids.
Yehuda’s comic slide appears to answer the question once and for all. He boldly pees into the pool here. But when he gets confronted by Maya, he blames it on the baby! How dare he!
When Eating From The Fridge Is The Only Option
Eating like a civilized person is ideal. But who sets those rules, and why do we have to observe them in perpetuity? Didn’t we all steal a bite straight from the fridge when no one was watching? It seems wasteful to get a new plate dirty when you only want a small nibble. You also know who will have to wash it. It’ll most likely be you.
Yehuda reveals in this scene that he has done this before. Maya appears to have caught him in the act in the illustration. He expresses some embarrassment. Is there, however, remorse? We don’t think so!
You Can Never Be Too Old To Use Your Imagination
In actual life, we face a variety of constraints. But in our imaginations, we may go anywhere, be anything, and dream big. Why don’t we pursue that more often? We used to have a lot of fun with our tiny brains as kids. But then life intervened, and we became far too serious. Being a parent allows us to use our imagination in a new way.
Yehuda and Maya are having some fun in the dark. They switched off the main lights and activated the iPad. Yehuda is making animal shadows with his hands iPad’s light. We must say, he did a good job!
Separation Anxiety Isn’t Just for Children
Pets and small children both hate seeing mommy and daddy leave. It’s unclear to them whether they’ll ever return, which adds to the anxiety. However, as it turns out, the problem can arise on both sides. Mommy Maya is heartbroken since she has to leave her new baby at the nursery. Sure, she realizes it’s only for a few hours. But yet, like all mothers, she feels the anxiety.
This might be a significant concern for women who want to return to work. They want to be at home, but they have other commitments. Sure, they get maternity leave. But it isn’t all that lengthy!
They Claim That Poop Tolerance Improves With Time
Babies are a lot of fun. They also produce a lot of poop. While it may appear that these things are mutually exclusive at times, they are not. There’s no way to predict when these events will collide! Yehuda is enjoying a delicious spaghetti dinner. There is an unexpected interruption to the dinner. Maya is fairly certain that the baby has pooped. The odor is presented to Yehuda!
We can tell from the look on his face that this isn’t a false alarm. The stench emanating from that diaper is undeniably green. It’s time for a nappy change, and it’s time to do it quickly!
We Believe That Binge Eating Junk Food Has No Age Limit
Sometimes, parents end up binge eating garbage junk foods that their children enjoy! What’s the point of resisting if it’s lying around the house? Perhaps piling on the pounds is a good idea. But, after a long day, it’s so easy to unwind on the couch with your partner and have a snack binge. Maya and Yehuda appear to have consumed an entire pizza, donuts, and potato chips.
Furthermore, they both agree that there is no need for exercise. That may be acceptable at times. But if that happens every night, we all know how that will work out for them!
The Ultimate Bathroom Experience Is Pooping in Private
You no longer enjoy complete privacy when your partner moves into your house, especially if you have been living alone before. When children arrive, though, all norms are thrown out the window. Yehuda is simply attempting to use the restroom in peace. But is he in charge of the baby too?
Unfortunately, that just can’t happen! He uses this example to demonstrate what it’s like to have opposing problems. He needs to go to the restroom. But he also requires the baby to remain safe and unmoving while he hides her view. What a situation!
Temper Tantrums Aren’t Limited To Toddlers
Different parents have different parenting styles! Some people are strict, while others are casual. When mom and dad have opposing views on what it means to do the right thing, it can lead to conflict. Maya and Yehuda disagree about the day’s topic. Both believe they know what is best for their child, but they don’t seem to agree. How are they going to come up with a solution?
There are times when we have to rely on our instincts. It’s so difficult to convey that to someone else when you know it feels so natural. We’re not sure how they resolved this!
Bus Blunders
In the packed confines of a bustling city bus, Yehuda finds himself in a classic case of “wrong place, wrong time.” As the vehicle lurches, his hand accidentally grazes a woman’s chest, prompting a flurry of indignation and a comical assault with her handbag. Meanwhile, an accidental encounter with another passenger’s posterior seems to have made that lady’s day, her smirk a silent approval of the unintended flattery. Maya can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation, witnessing Yehuda’s mortified apologies and the chaotic consequences of a crowded ride.
Yehuda’s predicament is a hilarious display of public transport perils, where personal space is scarce, and every movement can lead to unexpected social faux pas. It’s a relatable disaster for anyone who’s ever navigated the tight squeeze of rush hour, where a simple stumble can turn into a comedic performance.
Onion Goggle Glamour
Maya stands in the kitchen, armed with snorkeling goggles and clad in bright yellow gloves, taking on the tear-jerking task of dicing onions. Her outfit might be more suited to a dive in the Great Barrier Reef, but her dedication to tear-free cooking is unshakable. The onions rest within a glass box, her personal innovation to keep those pesky fumes at bay. Yehuda watches on, affection and amusement dancing in his eyes at the sight of his inventive wife.
Her quirky culinary defense against the onion’s sting is both practical and hilariously endearing. It’s a snapshot of the lengths we go to in the pursuit of comfort, and the loving gaze of a partner who finds joy in these eccentric home life moments. Together, they create a kitchen comedy that’s sure to resonate with anyone who’s ever waged war against the humble, yet formidable, onion.
Handyman Heartthrob
In this endearing depiction, Yehuda embodies the classic handyman, fully engaged in a home repair task with unwavering focus and a trusty screwdriver in hand. His expression is one of deep concentration, highlighting his commitment to overcoming any obstacle. Adding a touch of humor to his serious attitude, he holds a pair of pliers between his teeth, emphasizing his dedication to the task.
In the background, Maya observes with adoration, her face illuminated by an expression reminiscent of heart-eye emojis. She is evidently enamored by her partner’s display of proficiency and dedication. This scene captures the essence of love and admiration in a relationship, where even simple acts of domestic skill can ignite affection and strengthen emotional connections.
Sick Day Devotion
Maya, engulfed in a cloud of tissues and radiating a feverish glow, insists she’s fine, her voice barely a whisper among the cacophony of sniffles. Yehuda, the picture of caring stoicism, carries her bridal-style, his expression a mix of concern and wry skepticism as she protests, claiming she can still go to work. The “yeah right” look on his face is a silent retort to her feeble declarations of wellness.
Their dynamic is a tender yet funny portrayal of sickness in a relationship, where the ill insist on invincibility and their partners step up as the voice of reason. It’s a moment filled with love, care, and the unspoken agreement that sometimes, it’s okay to be taken care of, even when you’re used to being the strong one.
The Illusion of Readiness
Post-shower, Maya lounges on the bed engrossed in her phone, swathed in a towel that’s her only nod to getting ready. Yehuda, already dressed and anxious about the ticking clock, urges her to speed up, to which she casually replies that she just needs to slip on shoes. The room tells a different story, her clothes and makeup still lying untouched, the classic “I’m almost ready” scene unfolding.
This all-too-familiar dance of time management showcases the comedic disparity between men and women’s definitions of “ready.” Yehuda’s imploring eyes meet Maya’s serene demeanor, a silent conversation between urgency and tranquility that plays out in bedrooms everywhere, as the clock marches on towards their inevitable lateness.
The Great Ferris Wheel Divide
We see the age-old couple’s disagreement play out in the most innocent setting: a visit to a fairground. As the couple stands in a bustling street square, the husband gazes longingly at the towering Ferris wheel, his eyes twinkling with childlike wonder. The wife, on the other hand, has a very different reaction.
With a thought bubble succinctly declaring “Nope,” it’s clear she has zero intentions of joining her partner on the ride. This comic perfectly captures those little, playful disagreements couples have, reminding us that even in the whirlwind of parenting, these moments of light-hearted banter keep the relationship fun and spirited.
Never Underestimate the Power of Doodling
We all had our fair share of bumps and bruises in our childhood, and we’re thankful we don’t remember them all. When children receive a scrape or a scratch, they wail. They also cry out of astonishment from time to time. Falling down can be terrifying! Yehuda and Maya are continuously trying to make things better in any way they can.
To make her feel better, mom cradles Devir after she lands on her knee. Dad uses doodling since he is an artist! On the band-aid, we can see that he has drawn a smiley face. This beautiful pink mark will soon put a smile back on that small face.
Communication Is Still Necessary
These days, smartphones appear to be corroding our social skills. There is a lot of concern about children growing up in a technological age. Because they are constantly texting, kids may never learn to engage organically with other people. However, there is a problem for grownups as well. Haven’t you also messaged someone else on your phone while they are right in the room?
Yehuda depicts a humorous scene in which he and his wife both are texting in bed. They’re not far away, but this is all they can muster after a long day. We know we have done it too!
There Is Never Enough Room For A Big Belly
When you’re pregnant, you’re constantly dealing with a large tummy. It gets in the way of everything, whether you’re walking, sitting, or swimming. Maya is clearly pregnant in this photo. We believe she is in her third trimester and is just trying to relax. The issue is that Yehuda can’t sit in the corner like this. If she insists on this position, there is almost no room for both of them.
For instances like these, some homes may offer two bedrooms. Maya and Yehuda, on the other hand, have been quite open about their small-town apartment lifestyle. Perhaps a larger bed would be the solution?
Pee Spraying At Different Directions
Babies poop and pee all the time. You might think peeing sounds less messy. However, the yellow fluid is not without danger. There’s no way to know for sure if it’ll come out in a controllable amount. Yehuda depicts a moment that the couple will not forget. It was at this point that infant Devir became thrilled and sprayed furiously. Can you guess where it landed?
In mom’s mouth, of course! We can giggle when we read Maya’s speech bubble. But it had to have been a nightmare at the time.
The Artistic Chaos of Parenthood
When navigating the tempestuous seas of parenthood, there are moments of sheer chaos that only add to the adventure. Take a glimpse at this hilariously relatable snapshot of Yehuda and Maya’s daily life. Like adorable miniature Picassos gone rogue, the kids are consumed in their masterpieces, using each other’s bodies as canvas, while Yehuda revels in their creativity.
On the flip side, we have the ever-vigilant Maya, her arms folded, embodying maternal exasperation. These priceless, often messy, moments capture the simultaneous beauty and madness of parenthood. The moral of this comic saga? Never let kids near markers unsupervised unless you’re prepared for a living room art exhibit featuring your children.
Motherhood Moments!
In a heartwarming yet comedic twist, the comic showcases the challenges of motherhood. Maya is in the middle of breastfeeding Ariel, a natural bonding moment between mother and child. However, there’s a twist. Ariel decides to bite down hard, causing Maya a sudden jolt of pain.
As a reflex and to cope with the unexpected discomfort, Maya reaches out and grabs Yehuda’s hair, giving it a good yank. The contrasting expressions of pain and surprise on both their faces perfectly encapsulate the unpredictable yet endearing moments of parenthood.
Hush, Hush Hurdles!
This comic gives us a sneak peek into the nightly challenges parents face. With baby Ariel finally asleep, the house demands silence. However, the dripping kitchen tap has other plans.
The ever-vigilant Yehuda, in a desperate attempt to maintain the peace, is seen shushing the mischievous tap, hoping to keep it quiet. His exaggerated “Shhh!” gesture and the sneaky drop of water ready to splash emphasize the comical lengths parents go to for some uninterrupted sleep.
Sunburns and Serenity: A Rare Parental Delight
Journey to an exotic, sun-kissed beach where Maya and Yehuda have traded the usual parental cacophony for a blissful, child-free vacation. They’re sprawled on beach chairs, basking under the scorching sun, their skin a glaring testament to their overzealous sunbathing. The resulting sunburns, however, do little to dampen their spirits.
Their faces are lit with joyous smiles that radiate relaxation, a far cry from their usual parental stress. There’s no squabbling to mediate, no toys to pick up, no sneaky popsicles to hide. Just the symphony of the waves and their shared laughter. This comic paints a picture of the elusive parental dream – an uninterrupted, worry-free vacation. Sunburns may fade, but the memory of a peaceful, child-free retreat? Now that’s something to smile about!
Parenthood’s Trials and Triumphs
Remember those good old days of sibling squabbles over the best toys? It’s a scene enacted daily in households worldwide. Establishing early lessons in sharing and fairness is a key part of parenting. As parents, you strive to mediate these mini battles, encouraging harmony. But sometimes, the wiser approach might be standing back and letting them resolve their own conflicts.
Witness the hilarity in this comic scene where Yehuda and Maya find themselves observers of a typical sibling war zone. Maya, ever the diplomat, is poised to intervene, her hand outstretched, eyes mirroring concern. Yet, Yehuda, the advocate of real-world lessons, holds her back, insisting, “Let them fight.” His belief? Let the kids grapple with the rough and tumble of their disputes. This comical moment beautifully highlights the often-conflicting strategies of parenthood – the eternal struggle between safeguarding and letting kids learn the hard knocks of life.
When Baby Fat Is Back With A Vengeance
According to doctors, most women lose roughly 13 pounds while giving birth. That’s fantastic! But how much weight is it? Unfortunately, it’s merely the baby’s weight, as well as the placenta and amniotic fluid. But then there’s all that extra fat that won’t go away. Mothers all around the world are familiar with the battle of reducing baby weight and are conscious of it.
When Maya’s toddler started to poke her belly, she realized that her baby weight wasn’t as invisible as she thought it was. Her baby is there to remind her of that constantly.
A Hot Shower Is A Mother’s Favorite Simple Indulgence
When she told you to get into the shower, she also stated that the water was perfectly fine. Then, like a searing flash, reality struck. Before the day began, Yehuda wanted to have an intimate shower with his wife. It appeared to be a fun idea. However, they had different opinions about the temperature of the water. But it’s always been like this, right? Even with temperature control, finding a happy medium is difficult.
We presume he didn’t receive any major burns because he was able to depict the incident afterward. The trauma was psychological in nature. But he will try again. How can he refuse such an amazing offer?
The Everyday Heroics of Parenthood Come to Life in a Hilarious Beachside Tableau
As Dad diligently applies sunscreen on Mom’s back, showcasing his impressive mastery of SPF, an errant beach ball thwacks him in the kisser. Previously in his hands, the sunscreen now stars as a mini-geyser, with Mom blissfully unaware. It’s a scene ripped straight from the pages of Parenting 101.
Remember, dads, in the game of family beach day, even as you shield your beloved from harmful UV rays, the universe might just hurl a curveball (or beach ball) your way. Because when it comes to parenting, sometimes you’re the sunscreen master, and sometimes you’re the guy getting smacked in the face with a ball. Life’s a beach, isn’t it?
Sun, Sand, and Dad-Bods: The Tale of One Dad’s Beachside Standoff
In this riotous beach scene, we find a classic parental conundrum. As his wife cajoles him to shed his shirt, our daily Dad looks warily at the Adonis-like figures dotting the beach. It’s a David vs. Goliath situation, but David isn’t ready to slay these gym-honed Goliaths yet. This dilemma is as old as the dad-bod itself, stirring up a surf of emotions.
The great paradox of parenting is realizing you’re not quite the spring chicken you once were while your kids still think you’re Superman. So, while the beach may be a battlefield of abs and pecks, remember, dads, to your family, you’re still the strongest man on the beach, shirt or no shirt! Ah, the joys of parenthood.
A Parent Code for “Send Reinforcements!
In this uproarious snapshot of parenting life, we find Mom and Dad lounging on their couch, a scene all too familiar. When Dad innocently inquires if everything’s okay, Mom retorts with a “perfect,” while a cheeky demon figuratively embraces her, and her face silently screams, “I need a nap!” It’s an infamous paradox of parenthood – always on duty, forever ‘perfect,’ while secretly wrestling inner demons of exhaustion.
So, the next time you see a parent on their couch, remember that cushioned seat is their occasional battlefield, where they valiantly fight their demons (some with pointed tails!). And when they say they’re ‘perfect,’ remember – its parent code for “Send reinforcements! And by reinforcements, we mean coffee!” Ah, the laugh-out-loud truth of everyday parenthood!
Post-Encounter Fallout
Post-encounter fallout. She’s sporting the classic ‘frustrated’ look, the universal sign of a mom on the brink. He, on the other hand, is the picture of dissatisfaction. It’s the aftermath of a classic domestic tête-à-tête, with no winners, only lessons. Yes, amidst the joys of raising children, occasionally, parents become actors in their living room, navigating dialogues and emotions.
So, the next time you see Mom’s ‘frustrated’ look or Dad’s ‘unsatisfied’ expression, just remember – parenting isn’t all fun and games, but sometimes, it’s like a sitcom, and we’re all just waiting for the laughter to roll in!
Ah, The Romantic Saga of Valentine’s Day in Parentland!
Dad, seeking refuge in the bathroom, surrenders to the allure of online videos. Meanwhile, in the living room, Mom attempts to cherish her drink, a desperate bid to salvage some romance. But Cupid’s got competition – her relentless child, acting as if the ‘interrupt’ button is stuck on repeat. The scene is a timeless portrait of parental ‘romance’ – part comedy, part tragedy, and much love.
In this world, it’s not about roses or chocolates, it’s about finding solace in a quiet bathroom or a fleeting sip of wine. So, raise your glasses, parents, to a Valentine’s Day full of love, laughs, and, yes, interruptions. Cheers to the joyous chaos of parenthood!
You Might Never Quit Purchasing like a Teenager
Maya may be a mother, but that doesn’t mean she’s abandoned her old habits. Almost every girl enjoys a good trip to shopping malls, and it’s even better when there’s a personal chauffeur to carry everything you try on. However, this can be exhausting for the significant other. We can see heaps upon piles of clothes hung on poor Yehuda, and he doesn’t seem happy about it.
Maya says she only needs two more before she’s finished. Do you trust her? Knowing how these things proceed, it doesn’t seem likely. But let us be hopeful! Perhaps, just this once, a swift choice will be made.
There’s No Right Way To Pee
Peeing is something that most women do when sitting down. For reasons that Mother Nature devised, men prefer to stand. In public, it may also imply entering an alley or hiding behind a bush. When you’re a man, the entire world is your toilet! We had no idea that it was possible to urinate while holding a live infant. But maybe busy dads like Yehuda were on to something all along!
The illustrator is shown on this comic page with his child strapped to his chest. Yehuda handles business with ease while spending precious time with his son. Not bad, we say!
Anniversary Nights Can Also Be Family Nights
It might be difficult to keep things fresh when you’ve been together for more than a decade, just as Maya and Yehuda Devir have. In almost every situation, you already know everything there is to know about each other. Anniversary night is a time set aside to make things special, even if only for a few hours. Is that conceivable with small children in your life?
This illustration demonstrates that it’s actually quite impossible! A restroom mishap directly on the bed cut into their alone time. The sound of tears replaced the sound of love music. But at least there’s lots of love for each other!
Avoiding Sharp Toys Has Become an Olympic Event
Toys can help increase a child’s learning and development. That’s what every parent wants at the end of the day, which is why they buy so many. It wouldn’t be so unpleasant if it merely meant teddy bears and clay. But, alas, there are legos, blocks, and prickly figures of all kinds to step on, and no one can ever avoid them. Here, Yehuda demonstrates how to avoid a blunder.
When you’re a parent, it’s critical to master the jump. There are graceful ways to vault over a pile of debris. Just keep in mind that practice makes perfect. It’ll become worse before it gets any better!
Those Sounds and Smells Are Real for People of All Ages
We all know why the bathroom isn’t the clean place in the house. This is where people go to get rid of their meals in the most disgusting way. A substantial amount of gas floats around during the action. We can see that reality in work here, depicted in a way that only Yehuda Devir can. He illustrated his wife using the toilet while tooting a small green cloud. How could he possibly know?
Perhaps he heard this story from his toddler and connected the dots. Here, the child notifies her mother that she smells funny. In this case, they most likely guessed what it was.
Quarantine brought Out The Baby In Many Of Us
Locked inside to avoid a global pandemic? Millions of people found themselves trapped at home in 2021. At the least, if you’re a young, growing family, you had company. But does everyone prefer being in such close quarters 24 hours a day, seven days a week? That’s a lot of time for anyone. After weeks of confinement, we’re sure that even a happy person might slip into a strange mood.
We believe the Devirs tried their best. Yehuda captures the feeling that so many of us had while counting down the days. We can see their faces are crushed. Soon, they’ll be free!
Puddles Can Occur At Any Time And In Any Location
To put it bluntly, urine is a recurring motif in the Devir comic. There appears to be an abundance of stuff, which leads to frequent messes on them. There doesn’t appear to be a simple way to avoid it, however. Despite their best efforts, they are surrounded by puddles, sprays, and tinkles. Mom and dad have collapsed in this illustration after a long day of parenting.
The child crawls right on top of them and does her thing. With her newfound knowledge of potty training, she is quick to inform them about her business! Not at all annoying!
Home organization Is Not A One-Size-Fits-All Endeavor
Not everyone is neat and tidy. Some of us are utterly disorganized! Maya Devir may have a minor organizational problem. That doesn’t imply she’s filthy. It just implies she loves to keep additional clothes where she wants them. And that location may be all over a chair. Perhaps, in her husband’s eyes, there is a more reasonable location, such as the coat rack. Maybe “different strokes for different folks” apply here.
Yehuda might have the perfect solution for this. Couples must sometimes simply agree to disagree. Then they might have to make a comic book about that.
Shortcuts Are the Best Solution for Sudden Boogers
How many paper towels do humans use each year? The figure will be high on your chart when you have a two-year-old in the house. With a child, it appears as if the mucus is never-ending. When you have to deal with it on a regular basis, improvising may be necessary. We are not sure if it calls for using a tee-shirt to get rid of boogers instead of Kleenex, though!
Moms are ready for a sloppy face at all times. In that enormous bag of theirs, they carry a variety of treatments. All you have to do is ask, and you will be given.
Kung Fu Baby Isn’t Our Favorite Game
In principle, sleeping with an infant is endearing. The reality of attempting to do so is different. First and foremost, you must take care not to knock the baby off the bed. Then, you must avoid rolling over on top of the youngster, which could result in crushing or suffocation. Finally, there’s a chance you’ll get kicked in the face the whole time.
Yehuda has provided us with an illustration to demonstrate his idea. He seemed to have discovered this the hard way. In conclusion, you purchased the crib for a reason. Simply use it!
If You Continue To Eat Like A Child
Why do moms seem to get bigger as they get older? Perhaps you believed it was impolite to inquire about it. But, fortunately for you, researchers at the University of Cambridge have found an answer to this weight-related mystery. To begin with, they gain weight during pregnancy. However, it is the parental lifestyle that causes the real pounds to pile on. Maya is probably aware of her extra weight. Our concern is what Yehuda’s excuse is!
As seen in the comic, both Maya and Yehuda have gained weight over the years. Do they bury their faces in shame? No, they shamelessly say that they’ve still got it!
How to Cheer Up Your Spouse
You will experience an occasional bad day every once in a while. Couples know what their partners need to lift them out of a slump. Some of us love outward gestures and affection. The more gifts we get, the faster we forget about her problems.
And some, like most males in the human species, are simple beings. The partner doesn’t have to buy expensive items to make them smile. They’ll soon return to their normal self if you show some skin. This simple trick can be used with your spouse to turn his frown upside-down.
Always Treat Your Child Like A Loaded Weapon
When it comes to the joys of motherhood, changing diapers is rarely at the top of the list. But it’s just one of those things that have to be done. Traditionally, fathers would avoid this field of business. However, in modern times, many people are willing to take on the challenge. Let’s take a glance at a cartoon representation of the act. Maya watches Yehuda as he tries to clean up after the baby. Yehuda advises her to run for cover!
As seen in the photo, things have gotten out of hand here, but Yehuda isn’t going down without a fight. He wipes on with the tenacity of a soldier.
Black Friday Turns Us All Into Children At A Toy Store
Shopping is a year-round pleasure, but we all know when the best deals are. We now have a type of holiday in November. It’s called Black Friday, and it appears to be a ploy by the big box stores to get us to purchase till we drop! It’s okay for most people, but when you’re a parent, you’re at least aware of the need to save money. Diapers can quickly add up!
In this scene, Yehuda and Maya give in to the pressure of a good deal. There are sales all over, and they’ve stuffed their cart to the brim.
You want it, You got it
Mommy-to-be hormones are all over the place throughout pregnancy. Women may cry or become upset in unusual ways. And when it comes to food, just get out of their way! Yehuda recalled an event in which he made the error of attempting to control his wife’s salt intake. He innocently attempted to steal it after she poured mountains over a plate of fries. That was a huge blunder.
Maya grabbed his wrist in an instant to halt him in his tracks. There’s no room for haggling here. She calmly informs him that if he continues to try to touch her food, he will never touch anything ever again.
Third-Term Tummies Are Stackable
When you become pregnant, you will gradually transform into a human balloon. At 30 weeks, you should be roughly 30 centimeters tall. And, given that most pregnancies last between 37 and 42 weeks, that’s not the limit. Maya is fairly far along at this point. The baby will be born shortly, and this is their final opportunity to take advantage of the pregnancy.
Why not stack hundreds of objects on top of it? Maya appears to have a good sense of humor when it comes to the game. The final topping had to be quite a spectacle!
Remember To Keep The Baby Away
When you spend time with a small infant, you are exposed to more than just pee and poo. There’s also the question of what comes out the other end. According to experts, children spit up at least once a day! It’s essential to keep your focus on the baby’s mouth with those figures.
Many babies outgrow this problem by the seventh month. However, by month 12, almost every baby has. But, in the meantime, take care of where you aim. Don’t let your open mouth rest beneath theirs. Otherwise, things might get unpleasant for you and your mouth. Beware!
Even The Top Fathers Have Doubts
We all want to be great parents to our children. But it’s also normal to wonder if you’re doing your best. The harsh reality is that a single blunder could endanger your child for the rest of their lives. That’s what we want to prevent, so some self-reflection is a good idea. Yehuda illustrated one of his low points here. Maya reassures him that, regardless of his feelings at the moment, he is a wonderful father.
Yes, he has days when he believes he’s super-dad. However, this was not one of them, and we believe many people may relate. When was the last time we all discussed this issue?
A Stroller is the Ideal Setting for Your Piling Habit
Whatever you call it, a stroller/a pram, the cart that transports your kid is a wonderful idea that makes city parenting easier. We’re not sure where we’d be without it. However, it appears that Maya does not use it as instructed in this cartoon. There is hardly enough room for a newborn in this room, which is crammed to the capacity with other belongings.
Yehuda, her devoted husband and father, is pushing the situation forward. It appears to be soon getting unmanageable. He’s already dropped his phone and is on the verge of collapsing! What a mess!
What to Do If You Find Yourself in a Situation Like This
Cooking is one of the heartfelt ways to express love in the family. Maya has opted to carry on the tradition with a new spaghetti dish. Yehuda begins by digging in. But when he discovers he’s chewing on something other than noodles, he stops. We’re as disgusted as he is, and we’re only looking at the comic!
Maya inquires whether he enjoys her food. What is the correct response here? If he tells a white lie, the hair might appear the next time. He may harm his love’s feelings if he discloses the truth. If there ever was an impossible choice, this is it!
A Bun in the Oven
Before a second baby’s birth, the sibling must understand why their mother’s belly is growing again. The introduction of a younger brother or sister might be perplexing for older siblings. They get used to being the center of their parent’s attention, but with the arrival of a sibling, they will no longer be.
It’s a good idea to include the kid in significant times, like ultrasounds at the doctor’s office to help them adjust to the concept of the new addition. In this way, they begin to realize that a new life is taking shape, and they can get more excited about what’s to come!
Let The Romancing Begin
Maintaining romance is crucial, even when one partner is heavily pregnant. Just remember to be aware of practical considerations.
While grand romantic gestures are appreciated, caution must be exercised to avoid uncomfortable situations. Save the larger displays of affection for after the baby arrives.
The Triple Spoon
Many young children prefer not to sleep alone during the first few years of their lives. Parents often place the crib in their room to accommodate this preference.
This family has embraced the concept of group naps and shared cuddling sessions. It’s a beautiful way to ensure everyone gets the warmth and affection they need.
Trying To Work
For babies and toddlers, everything is a novel experience. They naturally view the world as their personal playground.
This often leads to a curiosity about anything at eye level, especially buttons, even if a parent loses progress in their digital comic collection. But that’s part of the learning process – oops!
Let The Countdown Begin
The advent of children can alter the dynamics of celebrations like New Year’s Eve. Parents might find themselves sleeping up to midnight rather than staying awake.
However, this shift doesn’t mean the fun should cease. It merely suggests a change of priorities, and there will be plenty of opportunities for enjoyment as the kids grow older.
New Life
Babies start moving within their mother’s womb from about the fifth month. The initial sensation is akin to flutters, gradually evolving into visible movements.
Although these movements may resemble an alien stirring, it’s simply the baby adjusting its position. There’s no cause for concern.
Double Bellies
The onset of a mother’s pregnancy can be puzzling for a child. It can be challenging to comprehend that a new sibling is coming.
Parents should take the time to explain the forthcoming arrival of a new brother or sister, fostering understanding and anticipation.
Filling Out
Pregnancy enlarges the belly and other parts of a woman’s body as she nears childbirth. Adjustments in clothing, particularly bras, may be necessary.
For those experiencing significant breast growth, opting for a comfortable sports bra could be a useful interim solution before transitioning to nursing bras.
Scooting Around
Most infants begin walking within their first two years. Capturing these initial steps is a cherished memory for all parents.
Once a toddler begins to move around, it’s important to ensure the house is childproofed. Little fingers have a knack for exploring everything!
First Words
The first spoken words of a baby hold a special place in every parent’s heart, be it ‘Da-da,’ ‘up,’ or something else. It’s a momentous occasion deserving to be treasured.
For Yehuda and Maya, their little one’s initial attempt at ‘Ma..Ma’ was an emotional milestone for both parents.
Alone Time
Making a baby is enjoyable, but intimacy post-childbirth may require time to regain its usual rhythm.
In some cases, introducing a few new elements might be necessary to reignite the spark. The adage rings true: couples who have fun together stick together.
Carrying The Load
Depending on the individual, a burgeoning baby bump can weigh a hefty 20 pounds or more. In the immediate aftermath of childbirth, most women shed about 13 pounds. Still, until that moment, the added burden can be a real strain on the back.
Occasionally, finding support in a partner or having them hold up your belly can offer a welcome respite from the persistent backache.
Feeling Insecure
For some women, accepting and embracing the changes their body undergoes can be a process. It’s entirely normal to have stretch marks and somewhat looser skin.
Choose a swimsuit or bikini that boosts your confidence, be it a one-piece or two-piece, and flaunt your body without hesitation. No one scrutinizes you; your body has just pulled off the extraordinary feat of creating life. Celebrate it with pride!
A Helping Hand
The adage “Help, I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” might apply to pregnant women too, but in this case, it’s more about the struggle of getting up from a prone position.
As the baby grows and the belly expands, a pregnant woman’s agility may diminish. Partners should be ready to lend a hand, aiding their pregnant companion to rise from the floor or couch.
Glued To The Television
Keeping toddlers entertained is essential unless you want them to devise unique entertainment methods, like drawing on the walls with markers.
One effective way to keep children engaged and quiet is by introducing them to the captivating world of television. This can offer hours of distraction.
Food Cravings
Almost every woman who has been pregnant will acknowledge having unusual food cravings. Some might hanker for salty delights like pickles. In contrast, others might desire a medley of flavors, such as an assortment of condiments on their burger.
Even though these food combinations might appear somewhat unappetizing, it’s best to refrain from passing judgment on your partner’s choices. These cravings are dictated by the baby developing inside her and are typically purposeful.
Getting Everything Done
Women are born multitaskers; their superpower to juggle tasks is unmatched! They could be typing an email, checking off groceries, and playing peek-a-boo with their baby, all simultaneously. Then there are some men, represented perfectly by Yehuda, who hilariously portray the challenges they face when attempting to multitask.
Their trials and tribulations will resonate with many dads, making it a comical representation of how spinning too many plates at once can turn into a circus act! So, to all fathers trying to keep up, rest assured you’re not alone in your struggles, and the laughs that come along the way are a bonus!
A Time Out
Time-outs: no longer a privilege solely for the kids. Ever imagined donning Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak just for a minute of peace amidst the tornado called parenthood? It doesn’t mean you adore your munchkins any less; it’s just about stealing a moment of tranquillity.
So, if your partner’s expression screams, ‘I need a break,’ it might be a cue for you to step in. Remember, parenting is like a tag-team match. Sometimes, you’ve got to tag in and give your partner a well-deserved breather. The key is to keep communication open and take turns to man the ship in this stormy yet rewarding sea of parenthood.
Incoming Baby Alert
Welcome to the thrilling journey of childbirth! For most parents-to-be, there’s usually enough time to make a mad dash to the maternity ward after the first contractions begin. But the process of childbirth is unique to every woman, like a marathon for some and a quick sprint for others.
Yehuda and Maya’s story seems to be a rather loud affair, with screams and shouts echoing around. But isn’t that normal? After all, the arrival of a new life into the world is a momentous event, deserving of a bit of sound and fury!
Always Shut Your Mouth
The unglamorous aspect of parenting – diaper duty. It’s like setting up a meeting with mess every couple of hours or sometimes minutes! If there’s a golden rule to follow during these messy interactions, it’s to always keep your mouth shut.
You definitely don’t want a nasty surprise flying into your mouth. So next time you’re up for a diaper duel, remember to lock that jaw tight. No one said the road to being a pro at parenting is anything less than adventurous!
A New Addition
Yehuda and Maya added a fun twist to baby announcements by introducing their “super-ultra-mega baby boy,” Ethan, through a delightful comic strip. It’s clear that they have turned a new chapter in their lives, one filled with joy, excitement, and countless memorable moments.
With Ethan’s arrival, the comic strip family has expanded, promising readers even more heartwarming and hilarious depictions of family life. We eagerly await the laughs, smiles, and chuckles that will surely come from Ethan’s childhood exploits in the upcoming comics!
All Tuckered Out
Sleep, an elusive luxury in the life of new parents. The moment their baby nods off, it’s a race for the parents to land in their beds and shut their eyes. Aligning the sleep schedule with the little one can provide a few precious moments of peace. But beware, this tranquillity is as fleeting as a rainbow, vanishing with the baby’s slightest whimper.
Therefore, parents, master the art of power naps. Any moment of rest you can snatch in this roller-coaster ride called parenting is a win!
A Few Tickles
The birth of a baby fills the air with excitement and limitless possibilities. Baby Ethan is no exception as he enjoys his giggles and tummy tickles with his dad. Everything is a fresh experience for the baby, making their world a fascinating playground.
Yehuda and Maya are set to take us along on this enthralling ride of discovery, joy, and wonder through their comic strips. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a series of delightful episodes!
Everyone Wants Mom
As babies grow, they often develop a preference for one parent, usually the one with the best snacks – the mom! This partiality can become challenging when one parent has to manage alone. It can feel like being the captain of a storm-ridden ship.
The constant cries and screams might seem endless, but remember, every tempest has a lull. The solo parent is left counting the minutes until their co-captain’s return. But hold on, take heart from the fact that even the longest of tantrums have a finish line.
At Least Everyone Is Sleeping
Being a parent is like running a marathon – it’s exhausting, and sleep becomes a rare, prized treasure. The brief, heavenly moments when everyone’s asleep, irrespective of the chaos around, are nothing short of a parenting jackpot.
In this never-ending, round-the-clock job, any chance to rest is a major win. As a parent, it’s surprising how much one can achieve on little sleep. Well, maybe that’s the secret superpower every parent gets as a bonus!
Getting Older
Aging is the inevitable journey of life. For some, it brings wrinkles, and for many men, it’s about thinning hair or going bald. But hey, who said bald isn’t beautiful? Embrace the change with style and stride forth with your shiny crown.
Remember, going bald is just nature’s way of saying, “Look at all that extra space for wisdom!” After all, with age comes wisdom, right? And if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
In It Together
Your all-weather ally, your partner in crime, and your steadfast supporter in this chaotic roller coaster ride called life. They’re your constant through sunny days and stormy nights, peaks of happiness, and valleys of challenges. You share laughter, tears, and everything in between.
It’s a tag-team performance with no intermissions. But remember a stitch in time saves nine. Keep the communication lines open, touch base regularly, and remember to do a feelings check. Holding emotions in is like a time bomb waiting to explode. So, let out those feelings, have those tough conversations, and remember, you’re on the same team. The goal? A journey full of shared experiences and enriched understanding.
Winter Is Coming
The arrival of the first cool breeze, or the delicate dance of the first snowflakes, sends a secret signal to women far and wide. Ladies, it’s time to hit the pause button on your razors. After all, the mantra of winter fashion is comfort over display. And hidden beneath those cozy leggings and woolen stockings, your legs can enjoy their hibernation, unbothered by the blade.
So, when the winter chill sets in, and your legs become permanent residents of Pantsville, feel free to say a grand goodbye to shaving. Embrace the fuzz, let the natural warmth wrap you up.
Always Work Together
Teamwork isn’t just for the basketball court or the office; it’s also the secret ingredient in the recipe for successful parenting. Raising a child, or even a pet, demands concerted efforts and a harmonious symphony of tasks. Scrubbing the aftermath of your baby’s food adventures or handling a surprise dirty-diaper-touchdown, two hands are always better than one.
Remember, your partner is your co-pilot in this parenting flight. Sharing responsibilities helps you navigate the stormy skies of parenting with ease. This shared spirit of teamwork cultivates an environment of love and stability, contributing to the masterpiece called a perfect family. After all, teamwork makes the dream work!
Bubble Bliss and Reality Bites
Maya and Yehuda find themselves enveloped by a cloud of soapy bubbles while showering together. It’s their matrimonial sanctuary, a retreat from housework and the kids. But even here, reality has a way of bursting their bubble.
When Yehuda struggles to scrub his own back, he turns to Maya for help. This moment captures the essence of partnership: stepping in to reach the spots in life that are just out of grasp—both literally and figuratively.
The Comedy of Coiffure Chaos
Yehuda bolts across the lawn, cradling Ethan, whose hair has achieved rockstar levels of volume and length. Ethan’s fringe has essentially become a hairy blindfold.
Hot on their heels, Maya comes running, scissors at the ready to give those bangs a quick snip. Yehuda calls out, insisting he can lead Ethan just fine without the need for clear vision. The situation is the textbook definition of marriage and parenting meeting sitcom-level hilarity.
Overkill in Overcoats
The family gears up for some winter fun, piling on layer upon layer. While Yehuda struggles with a stubborn jacket zipper, Maya has turned wrapping up into an art form. Little Ariel and Ethan are encased in beanies, scarves, gloves, and bulky parkas.
“Ready to go!” Maya announces, surveying her snugly wrapped offspring. All that’s visible are their peering eyes, making them look like miniature winter warriors. The scene perfectly captures the endearing yet slightly ridiculous lengths parents go to when ensuring their kids are more than prepared for the cold.
