My sister and I have a pretty tiny age gap. We are solid two years and four months apart in age, and that meant we spent a lot of time playing together as kids. Often, her friends were my friends, and my friends were her friends, too. We had neighbor kid friends who were also …

5-year-old stars the day with a chocolate bar and iPad time, commenters chastise parents: ‘What level of brain rot’
I was a picky kid. There wasn’t a lot I’d be willing to eat for breakfast, but cereal was one of them. I craved that hit of sugar in the mornings. I still do, though I realize that a bowl of cereal is not nearly enough to keep me sustained for more than an hour. …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Posts of the Week (March 25, 2024)
Boy moms are such an interesting group. I’m not talking about normal mothers who happen to have only given birth to members of the male gender; I’m more referring to moms who wrap up a large part of their identity in being the mother of a boy, which is just so different than mothering girls. …

‘Get extra good locks’: Entitled sister wants to run daycare out of brother’s house despite not paying rent
Living with family can be a beautiful thing, but it can also be the most difficult thing you do together. In my experience, it’s so much easier to get along with your family if you don’t live with them. You can take your time away, engage with them when you want to, and you don’t …

‘It’s my house my rules’: Son kicks out overbearing mom for continuing to make breakfast despite his wishes
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but apparently, that slogan was made up by breakfast cereal lobbyists. The most important meal of the day is whatever one you want it to me. Personally, I’m a breakfast believer, just because I love breakfast foods. Give me a fried egg, a …

‘They told her she is not capable of doing the job’: Judgmental parents fire au pair for taking depression and anxiety medication
Being an au pair sounds like an incredibly stressful job. You have to leave the country that you know and love to live with a random family and care for their children full-time.

30+ of the Funniest Parenting Tweets of the Week (March 14, 2024)
Parenting is an Olympic-level sport. It requires great feats of stamina, engineering, and functioning on as little sleep as humanly possible. I don’t think anyone would say it’s easy unless you have a team of nannies and a fleet of housekeepers. Even then, they will come up to you and say «Mommy, where do babies …

Godmother criticizes mother for naming her daughter Ghiuliyette: ‘Why ruin such a beautiful name by including letters that don’t belong there?’
My sister has an unusual spelling of her name. Well, it might’ve been considered unusual 20 years ago, but with the recent increase in parents naming their kids all sorts of absurd things, it’s pretty conventional. She spells her name with a ‘C’ instead of a ‘K’ for one of those conventionally K names…Kaitlyn, Katherine, …

‘I don’t have a bed there’: Biological mother chides teenage daughter for not visiting despite not having a room or any pictures of her in her house
Some people are just not meant to be parents. It’s a sad reality that so many kids have to deal with, and it’s incredibly unfair to them. There are a lot of parents out there who care way more about being perceived as a loving, caring parent by the people in their community than actually …
