Imagine a world where pregnant women are always upbeat and glowing, newborns sleep on cue, toddlers love to have their teeth brushed, and teenagers gaze adoringly at their parents. Impossible, you say? Not according to advertisers who flood the web with stock photos of perfect parents and children. They’d have you believe that parenting is a piece of cake, and every significant moment of family life takes place on a spotless white couch.
So when Sara Given, a real mother of a real toddler, saw a picture of a radiant new mother in a cute little sundress breastfeeding her newborn in the middle of a golf course, she finally had enough. She launched a Tumblr, which is now visited by tens of thousands of new parents looking for a daily pick-me-up.
Because what better way is there to deal with the stress and strain of being a new parent than laughter? The perfect gift of cheer and solidarity, Parenting Is Easy exploits the disconnect between these preposterous photos and what happens in real life, and makes every reader laugh out loud—and feel better, too, because we’re in on the joke.

      Blogger Given (It's Like They Know Us) looks at the "glamour" of pregnancy and motherhood with photos and captions that poke fun at an advertising world that delights in portraying skinny blondes with chubby toddlers reading board books on white carpets. Picture mom and baby haloed by the sun: "Nursing in perpetual springtime is a great way to bond with my girl. She never fishhooks me, slaps me in the face, or does a barrel roll with my nipple still clamped firmly in her mouth." Way to keep it real, Given.
