Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think some just cope with parenthood better than others. Some take the feeling of bone deep mental and physical exhaustion and wonder "why/what the fuck was I thinking". They just see all they are missing or regret not doing before. Others get that feeling and feel a deep satisfaction knowing it is a sign they are doing right for their kid. It completes them in a way that is inexplicable for those who don't.

Not sure if that added anything or not but I felt it needed saying.

When the sleep sucks, everything else is worst for it.

I love my kids and I feel a great satisfaction raising them, but my tank is always running empty.

I think that parents are better at different stages of parenthood, and for me, between 9 months and 18 months is the fucking worst.

Some kids are definitely easier than others too. Both my kids wouldn't sleep for more than 90 minutes at a time until they were a few years old; and when they were awake they would demand attention; like most kids that age who are awake do.
