Being a parent requires a lot of hard work.
It may seem like an easy job from the outside but it is anything but easy. Not only do you not get any sleep but you also don’t get appreciated much even though you’re on the job 24/7. However, parenting is not all about the bad times or people wouldn’t have kids in the first place. At the end of the day, it can be quite a rewarding experience to see your kid’s angelic face while they sleep and realizing that you did well.
Although, we do sometimes tend to forget the happy feeling especially when your kid wants everything done their way. But family life has a lot of fun and chaotic moments that a lot of people can relate to. And this is where this incredible artist by the name of Yllya comes in. She started creating her webcomics on a whim and they blew up before she even knew what to do. I am not surprised though as her art is not only unique but the little stories her individual comics represent are also quite hilarious.
So we compiled some of our favorite comics from this artist for your viewing pleasure. Just scroll below to take a look for yourself.

#1 You are never too old to have fun.
#2 To be fair, it does sometimes feel like that.
#3 Pizza night is the best night, I wish it was every day.
#4 Atleast they are bonding over something common.
#5 She is trying her best and it is clear from the look in her eyes.
#6 He should have suspected something was up when she hugged him.
#7 That can’t be allowed to happen so this is very necessary.
#8 This is why I stopped doing this, you never know when they will attack.
#9 It is just so fluffy and adorable that you never want to cut the hair.
#10 Doesn’t every parent do this though?
#11 This was her plan all along and she succeeded.
#12 I can understand why the cat is jealous now.
#13 They won’t have to clean the windows any more so that is a plus.
#14 We have all tried to do that at least once in our lives and it never works out.

This is what the artist had to say about how she started and the reasoning behind all of her work.
My name is Yllya,, I am a French independent painter and webcomic artist, and I am the mother of a 3-year-old little girl.
Last year, and somewhat coincidentally, I launched a webcomic on Instagram about my family life. We were returning home after daycare and we got stuck in the elevator of our building. I was nervous because I’m a bit claustrophobic, but my daughter thinks it’s kind of a game, and my husband sticks out like he usually does. Later, when we finally got out, I thought it was a funny story and I could turn it into comedy. I pulled it out and posted it on Instagram and it looks like people like it. A few weeks later, I took another picture after talking to my husband about our daughter’s hair. And people liked it too. So started a webcomic.
The innumerable families and parents are a source of divine inspiration. All the comics are based on a real story with lots of carry catchers. The fact of the matter is that there is always someone to take care of it. I really enjoy drawing this comic and I hope you enjoy reading it too!
#16 Being home alone is quite fun and this is exactly what I do as well.
#17 This is what I thought too until I became an adult and realized it never goes away for some.
#18 Incentivizing good habits by chocolate is always the way to do it.
#19 If you can’t see them, they can’t see you…….hopefully.
#20 Well, at least she didn’t vomit on them so that was something they missed.
#21 I think we are focusing on the wrong issue here.
#22 They look like angels but they’re hiding their true nature.
#23 I mean that checks out.
#24 Maybe she really is a grasshopper?
