Photographer Captures How Crazy And Chaotic Parenthood Really Is

All parents know that life with a young family can get a little hectic – as one photographer has brilliantly captured
In between the 3am wake up calls, endless nappy changes and development milestone pressures; parenthood can seem like one challenge after another.
Which is why photographer Danielle Guenther’s series of snapshots depicting the ‘crazy’ and ‘exhilarating’ nature of parenthood are so spot on.
Over exaggerated, of course, but completely recognisable to anyone who’s been there.
“The whole thing started by accident,” Guenther told ABC News. “It first happened at a regular session. She [mom] lied on the couch and said she was exhausted, so we agreed to make the photos fun and out of control.”
One captured scenario shows a mum attempting to juggle walking, pushing a pram and carrying her baby and numerous bags while crossing a busy street in New York City. We’re exhausted just writing that – let alone doing it.
Sometimes it's hard running errands with your in the city,” Guenther said. “It's sort of refreshing to see things unfold in a chaotic way and to still say, 'It's OK.'”
But perhaps our favourite is a snapshot of a couple and their newborn baby and passed out in bed. Sounds pretty normal, but a few things in the pic are definitely mixed up.
The dad appears to have fallen asleep while reading a parenting book, while the baby is nuzzled beside him, precariously perched on top of the dog. Meanwhile the mum, in her delirious, sleep-deprived state, is bottle-feeding her pet pooch.

however amazing in this day and age of excesses, people have been raising babies for 10's of thousands of year... Only in this current time people are so materialistic, until they add to the chaos or raising kids.

Thank you for sharing those "interesting" photos.

I have a daughter and a son. My son is more difficult to raise up than my daughter.

They are both adults now.


Honesty is the best policy.
