Everybody knows that parenting is a demanding job and it will change your life. But most people don’t realize how much until they compare their life before and after having kids. Or, in Mike Julianelle’s case, compare photos before and after he became a parent.
Back in 2017, Julianelle, who is the father of two daughters, decided to see how a photo of him from the present compares to the photo that was taken 10 years ago. And he noticed a stark difference, which made him wonder does the same happen to other parents.
He created Got Toddlered Instagram account @gottoddlered and posted side-by-side photos of him before and after having kids. In the caption, he challenged social media users to do the same, and surprisingly they responded.
People started sending Julianelle their submissions, and most of them didn’t hold back in showing the effects that parenting left on them. This resulted in some hilarious comparisons, which the internet, of course, absolutely loved.
The page soon became quite popular and currently has more than 90K followers. Julianelle continues to update it on a weekly basis and invites everyone who feels like sharing to submit their own before and after photos. Check out some of our favorites below.
