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.

Kids can be neat, interesting, and thoughtful.
Babies are a nightmare of screaming and yuck.
Honestly, babies sleep and eat. Yeah, you have to keep them clean, but kids? They are emotionally manipulative suicidal nightmares too much of the time, and you still have to keep them clean. (I have a 5 and 7 year old.)
Key phrase was "can be". Kids under 9 are just under that age where they're testing boundaries.
My kid is 12 and the absolute sweetest, best kid ever! He's one of the reason I'll never have another– I'm not risking my sanity with a gamble.
The little kid phase won't last forever! You can make it through!
Genuinely, thank you. Those sparks of creativity, consideration, and joy are absolutely worth more than anything.
Aye! Sometimes it's okay to be like "man, these guys suuuuuuuck". You're not a bad person or a bad parent for thinking it.
Things will get better!
