LOL, This Mom’s Comics About Raising Teens Will Make You Feel Less Crazy About Your Own Kids

Updated on 5/25/2019 at 12:01 PM

Annie Kurzweg, a mom to three teenagers, says "Parenting woes and joys are many, and exist in tandem," and she's dealing with said woes and joys one hilarious hand-drawn comic at a time. Annie started drawing her comics, which are mostly about teen behaviors and tendencies, when she wanted to leave notes for her kids. "I think involving humor made it feel less like nagging, for all of us," she told POPSUGAR.

All of the parenting comics come from real experiences she's had with her kids, so Annie says it's difficult to choose favorites — and it'll be hard for you to choose one, too. Ahead, see a few of our top contenders and follow Annie on Instagram to see more.
