Parents skip 16-year-old son’s high school graduation because his sister went into labor, doesn’t give birth until 18 hours after the graduation: ‘They could have had at least had one of them stay with me’
No parent wants to have to choose between children during important in their lives. People can plan around this as much as they want, making sure weddings don’t fall on milestone birthdays and avoiding proposing on Christmas.

18-year old changes her last name back to her late dad’s name, enrages mom and stepdad who changed it against her will when she was 7: ‘My mom’s husband told me I publicly disowned them’
Names are more important than we give them credit for. They’re not something that you should change without serious reason. We’ve all heard of parents who realize they gave their baby the wrong name two weeks after they were born. Changing their name in that scenario is largely harmless, but once a child is old …

‘This bear is cute, you’re just a hater’: Mom refuses to buy her 2-year-old daughter a $15 rainbow bear from Build a Bear, claims it doesn’t fit with her muted aesthetic
As a parent, you often must sacrifice your aesthetic wishes for at least the first couple of years of your baby’s life.

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (May 21, 2024)
One of the wildest types of parents are those who helicopter parent into their child’s adulthood. I can’t imagine my parents handling my affairs in college, let alone in my day-to-day life as a grown-up with a job. I know that most adult children who find themselves on the receiving end of this «help» aren’t …

Mother’s Day weekend isn’t fun for everybody. Your mom might live thousands of miles away, robbing both of you of the chance to hang out with each other and celebrate her.

Adult children discuss negligent helicopter parents who highly surveil their children but seldom support them: ‘No praise for accomplishments, just constant expectations’
Non-parents often think that parenting styles are distinct, inscrutable categories that can’t have any overlaps. Crunchy moms homeschool their children and shield them from screens, outsiders, and foods that don’t come from the earth. Permissive parents let every act of misbehaving slide because they’re too lazy to correct any behavior. Or worse yet, they prioritize …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (May 7, 2024)
Every parent has a different level of involvement in their kid’s life once they become adults. Some adult children call their parents multiple times a day, consulting them on every decision they make, whether it’s big or small.
