Parenthood is a wonderful thing, but nothing is given for nothing. Once, the blogger Mike Giulianel, the father of two young children, published two of his pictures next to him – before and after the birth of the children.
Since then, he has been running another blog – on Instagram, where parents send their versions of “before and after.”
“Of course, all this is not serious, and no one blames their children for the deplorable state of their faces or lives. Except me: I constantly blame my children, I do it on my blog, on Facebook and on Twitter, ”Mike told HuffPost.
According to him, the main message of the Got Toddlered blog (“kidding”) is a call to be honest and talk about the difficulties of parenthood. “Children are the worst thing that has happened to us in our lives, and if we don’t laugh at the turmoil they bring, we will have to cry. And I’m not one of those who weep, ”comments Mike.
