Children are one of the greatest joys in life. A new life begins when you start raising children and creating beautiful, new memories together as a family. However, it’s not without its challenges and compromises though.
@GotToddlered on Instagram shows the messy but hilarious reality of what happens when kids take over your life. The photos shared here contrast photos of adults in their pre-children prime with the now. Although they were once young, attractive, and without a care in the world, they now have to contend with chaotic tiny humans instead. But they see the lighter side of it all though.
Here’s Bored Panda’s favorite picks from the page—don’t forget to vote for the funniest ones. And read on for our interviews with the experts too. I spoke with Dr. Ashley Söderlund and Nicole Schwarz on what we can learn from our children. When you’re done, check out some more times that adults got toddlered on our site here, here and here as well!
