The Winning Trifecta
Sleeping children, washing all done, and clean dishes – this is the winning trifecta for parents around the world who just don’t seem to get to everything that needs to be done around the house. Oh, and let’s not forget to mention the garbage!
Adulthood, and parenting in particular, can be pretty overwhelming, and you might feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. Just do your best and know that there will come a time when you will complete your chores in one day.
The Answer Is Always Yes
“Do I look good in this?” Men, this is a question that you’ll probably hear often as your wife or partner tries to find an outfit that not only feels good but looks good, too. And your response should always be, “Yes, Dear!”
So what if her pants show off that muffin top? Your role is to be as supportive as possible, complimenting her and making her feel good about herself. It’s really not that hard. So, give it your all and tell your partner she looks good today!
Dollhouse Dreams
Admit it, you’ve found yourself playing with the kids’ dollhouse, haven’t you? We all have. And just like this illustration shows, it’s completely normal to play out some of our fantasies, too. But here’s a tip for you- don’t get caught!
Imagine coming across your significant other playing with your children’s toys! While most of us would be shocked, it might just give us some insight as to what it is they really want. What would you do in this situation?
You Gotta Love That ‘Stache!
In the hallowed halls of facial hair, the mustache reigns supreme thanks to movies like Top Gun and, of course, Magnum PI. Just what it is about the stache that drives women crazy we don’t know, but it’s true – women love a mustache.
And, just as this illustration by Yehuda Devir shows, many men have been tempted to take the clippers to their beards in the hopes of attracting a gorgeous woman. Their wives, on the other hand, might have something to say about it.
Parenting is quite the journey – one filled with more than a few laughs and, of course, a few mishaps along the way. But ask any parent, and they’ll tell you that they won’t change a thing! Maya and Yehuda Devir are parents and illustrators for the webcomic series One of Those Days, where they share a glimpse into their chaotic lives through their art. From falling asleep while reading bedtime stories to getting woken up early, any parent will relate to these illustrations.
