Decree and the charms of parenting: 12 funny comics from the father of two children

In the Scandinavian countries, gender equality has reached a maximum, and there it is quite common for husbands to go on maternity leave and try on the role of a householder. Norwegian illustrator Ståle Gerhardsen has two children and a beloved wife. Recently, he took maternity leave and was so impressed with how much effort, love and patience it takes to raise two restless children that he drew a whole series of comics. People liked the drawings on the Table, and he decided to make a book out of them.

If you're a dad, you should have good reflexes

You need to know when it's time to give up

I wish all children had a button like this

The strength of a mule in some situations would also help

The most important thing is that the child is dry

You have to be patient, very, very patient.

And love everything that "comes" from the child

Even when he drives you crazy with his antics

First put on a diaper, then make the baby laugh. Remember this simple rule

Feeding a child is not as difficult as then scraping off the walls of what he did not want to eat

Even a two-minute nap on the toilet is already a great luxury

But in the decree you can dance as much as you want
