These 30 Adorable Comics Show Parents’ Everyday Little Struggles
There should be a Nobel Prize for parenting.
We are all bombarded with photos of people leading perfect lives. They have wonderful, clean homes, gorgeous tanned bodies, fabulous hairdos, and perfect kids.
And we envy them so much. How can they have it all?
Well, they don't. It is all fake.
They are posing for the photos. It's like reading fairy tales.
We read them but don't believe they are real. However, we like to imagine they are real and would love to live in one. It's the same with these photos.
We know they are staged, but it doesn't stop us from subconsciously wanting to be like the people in the pictures. We are projecting our wishes and dreams.
The social network algorithms pick up on that and show us even more similar content. The truth is highly unpopular these days.
That's why people who openly discuss problems and present their lives in a real light should be praised. There should be a Nobel Prize for honesty.
It's nice to feel connected to someone who is posting art about it because most of us have similar amusing difficulties in our daily lives. Parents may find Inna Sacali's comics particularly relatable and engaging.
We have chosen 30 of the most interesting illustrations, and we know you are going to love them.

Inna says that 'My baby inspires me every day for new comics. All the ideas I take from real life. They’re honest because they actually reflect my emotions and feelings or describe some funny situations that happened to me. Usually, it takes 1 to 3 hours to finish a comic. It depends on how detailed the illustration is and how many shots there are. All the ideas for comics are taken from my life. They just come to my mind. I see something happening, and my brain draws funny pictures of the situation.Sometimes it is like: I'm in my bed ready to fall asleep, and the idea shows up. If I have time, I draw a rough sketch. If not, I just write down the main idea on my phone. Usually, I draw when my son sleeps, so it's not about the mood to draw or inspiration; I have limited time, and I draw as much as I can. I am still looking for my own style. I draw a sketch first, then line art, then color it and add shadows and highlights.'

Inna Sacali
Inna says that sometimes it seems that everything has already been invented, and there is nothing new you can bring to this art field, but every child is unique. Even though they all have something in common, every kid makes their unique mess and goes through different adventures.
A parent can’t run out of inspiration. Ever.
