There Are Mums Way Worse Than You
There Are Mums Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed a Fantastic Parent
A hilarious and reassuring gift for every mom: because weāre all doing the best we can, and the natural world is filled with moms worse than you!
A mom giraffe is pretty nice until the fetus drops.
Sheāll birth a newborn baby calf, then kick him ātil he walks.
Ā
Whenever you feel guilty that you havenāt cleaned the house:
Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse.
Ā
A koala mom will feed her kids her own poop. Yes, poop. Panda moms will abandon one twin because raising two is, well, just too much. And every now and then a cuddly little hamster mom will āyupā eat her newborn pups.
These and other true facts from the animal kingdom offer a hilarious reality check on what constitutes āgood parenting.ā So, human mother, time to stop worrying about the job you're doing ābecause youāre aĀ greatĀ mom.
