15 hilarious parenting comics that are almost too real
For the parents out there just coz....we belong to this tribe haha. It's our choice to make and somehow more related to the facts of life so enjoy the privilages =)
Love the author as he is of course a father. You should check out his webpage too called Fowl Language which is just as witty. Do support him if you like his comic strips!
Thanks upworthy
Brian Gordon is a cartoonist. He's also a dad, which means he's got plenty of inspiration for the parenting comics he creates for his website, Fowl Language (only a few of which actually feature any profanity).
Truth.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
I asked Gordon about the worst parenting advice he ever received, and he shared this anecdote:
Here's to Gordon for helping us chuckle (through the tears).

He covers many topics, but it's his hilarious parenting comics that are resonating with moms and dads everywhere.
"My comics are largely autobiographical," Gordon told me. "I've got two kids who are four and seven, and often, what I'm writing happened as recently as that very same day."Gordon shared 15 of his oh-so-real comics with us. They're all funny 'cause they're true.
Let's get started with his favorite, called " Welcome to Parenting," which Gordon says sums up his comics pretty well. "Parenting can be such tedious drudgery," he told me, "but if it wasn't also so incredibly rewarding there wouldn't be nearly so many people on the planet."Truth.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

All comics are shared here with Gordon's express permission. These comics are all posted on his website in addition to his Facebook page. You can also find a "bonus" comic that goes with each one by clicking the "bonus" link. Original. Bonus.

I love Gordon's comics so much because they're just about the reality of parenting — and they capture it perfectly.
There's no parenting advice, no judgment — just some humor about the common day-to-day realities that we all share.I asked Gordon about the worst parenting advice he ever received, and he shared this anecdote:
"I remember being an absolute sleep-deprived wreck, sitting outside a sandwich shop, wolfing down my lunch quickly beside my one-month-old son, who was briefly resting his lungs between screaming fits.Who hasn't been on the receiving end of totally unneeded and unwanted advice? That's why Gordon's comics are so welcome: They offer up a space for us to all laugh about the common experiences we parents share.
A rather nosy woman walked up to me and said, all smugly, 'You should enjoy this time while they're easy.' It was the exact worst thing anyone could have said to me in that moment and I just wanted to curl up on the sidewalk and cry."
Here's to Gordon for helping us chuckle (through the tears).

The Busy Person’s Guide to Squeezing in Exercise
Definitely no excuses here. I don't have much chance to head to the gym over the weekends, so these tips are really handy although there is a slight chance that I do get into 'lazy' mode. Sometimes fresh air really helps.
I like the funny pictures that goes with these tips though! Check it out here or below. There are 7 of them.
Finding time to exercise between a busy job and other commitments can be difficult. But no more excuses! With a little planning, it’s easy to sneak a little incidental exercise into your daily routine. Don’t underestimate mini exercises or efforts for a more active lifestyle which can lead to an improved immune system, overall health, and weight loss or maintenance.
Trust us, your body will thank us!
1. Eliminate shortcuts
Ditch the escalator or elevator in favour of the stairs. Stair climbing is a highly beneficial exercise as it helps with cardio health, bone strength, general strength, body toning, and weight loss. For added intensity, skip steps or increase your speed. Bonus points to this exercise for all the awkward elevator silences you get to avoid!
Besides stair-climbing, eliminate other shortcuts like parking right at the entrance of a building. Park a little further from the entrance and sneak in a brisk walk. Instead of driving, take public transportation so you get exercise from standing in the LRT or KTM, and extra walk time to stations or stops.
2. Active play dates or date nights
Instead of happy hour or dinner plans, gather your friends at your neighbourhood tennis court, basketball court, or indoor futsal arena. This way, you get to hang out with your sweetheart and friends, team-build, and squeeze in much-needed exercise. Better yet, these activities are cheap or even free.
If your friends aren’t exactly sportsmen and sportswomen, try cycling, swimming, or jogging at your neighbourhood park or places like Lake Gardens.
3. Get up and go speak to people in your office
We love messenger apps because it means that we can quickly ping our colleague from the finance department or send a funny joke to a friend in the sales division. But it also makes us more than a little lazy! Get off your butt and walk over to your workmate for a chat instead. This allows you to stretch your body and if you do it enough, earns you some incidental cardio! Plus, it has the added benefit of giving your eyes a break from the harsh lighting of your computer screen.
4. Do your chores
We don’t mean to sound like your parents, but do your chores! Chores like car washing, sweeping and mopping and grocery shopping take up a lot of energy. This means that you burn calories, do cardio duty, and train your strength when you carry buckets of water or a week’s worth of milk.
So the next time you’re thinking about sending your car in for a wash or hiring a part time cleaner, try doing those chores to collect exercise (and brownie) points.
5. Add exercise to your TV time
Watching your favourite comedy show while letting your brain checkout is a good way to unwind. Use commercial breaks to do quick exercises like crunches, lunges, and squats. Simply search for those exercises on Youtube so the next time The Voice goes to ad-break, you can squeeze one or two reps in.
If you’re ready for a bigger commitment, spend some money on a treadmill and run during TV time!
6. Take time-out at work
Every few hours at the office, break from your spreadsheets and charts to do quick and easy exercises. Go to a quieter side of the office and try out simple exercises like wall sits, toe touches, torso twists, and more.
These help increase your heart rate, burn calories, and improve flexibility. You also get to stretch and escape from plunging performance graphs for a while.
7. Lift weights
Weight lifting is not reserved for Olympic and power lifters. You too can benefit from simple weight lifting using small hand weights. Bring a hand weight to a conference or carry it around while walking. Learn exercises like bicep curls, shoulder presses, and more.
These simple weight workouts help tone your upper body and improve muscular functioning. See here for more arm and shoulder workouts.

Hilarious and Heartwarming Animals on 500px
Happy Monday :)

In dreams I can fly

I thought we'd close out the week with something a little lighthearted. As many of you already know, 500px is a great website to not only share your latest photos, but to also get inspired. For us, it's a place to discover talented photographers. We've found some of our very favorite animal photographers from this site including ones we've shared with your right here at My Modern Met. Who could forget Japan-based Ben Torode and his adorably cute kitten, Daisy, or Russia-based Nikolai Zinovievand his incredibly awesome photos of bears?
Today, we decided to bring together some of our very favorite animal photos from 500px. In continuing our series of the hilarious and the heartwarming (see snow dogs and dog portraits), we bring you these sweet storytelling shots. While some, like the one above, only come with simple captions, others are accompanied with a great backstory.
For What, no butter OR salt (immediately below), photographer Barb D'Arpino writes on her 500px page, "We had fastened a cob of corn on a snag for the birds to enjoy. We sat down to dinner and out of the corner of my eye I noticed movement on the corn. Imagine my surprise when I saw Eleanor stuffing her cheeks with kernels until she looked ready to explode. It didn't take her long to strip the cob. Grabbed my camera, snapped a few pictures and the rest is history :+)"
