No matter the circumstances, there are many struggles that every parent can identify with.
One man has created these comics that show those moments beautifully.
Single dad Lan Sen-Jie, known as known as Blue, from Tapei, Taiwan, draws everything from disciplining his son to being peed on during a nappy change.
He became his son Yun-Li’s sole carer in 2015 when he was a year old.
Blue is a full-time comic book artist but usually, his other work is very different.
He told Metro.co.uk: ‘My previous comic works were totally different style from this.
‘At the beginning, all I want is to record little things that are meaningful to me, and leave my son a precious gift like no other kids have. But I think it’s my son who have changed my life.’
