    Every living thing in cartoon #1 has those deer-in-the-headlights eyes. Even the cat‼️

    The struggle is real! I wasn’t always sure extroverted parents suffered as much in the lack of a moment to yourself, but it does pass and then you endure the phase of being ignored or avoided. Big benefits accrue if you wind up with adults you mutually enjoy.

    I have a friend who has a 3-year old. #2 has her name all over it!

      Notice the family in the upper left of #2 as mom relaxes in a bubble bath with pillow?

      Also, I believe the harried mother in #1 is the woman in the bubble bath in #2.

    They are all wonderful. Maybe because I am OLD #4 had me laughing out loud.
