What’s in a name? A lot, it turns out. Names carry so much baggage with them and it’s on the parents to anticipate that ahead of time. Because your baby isn’t going to be a baby forever. One day, they’ll be an adult, and walk into a job interview with that dumb name you gave …

30 of the Funniest Parenting Tweets of the Week (May 16, 2024)
We’ve all had a moment when we’ve genuinely thought, «Kids these days.» We go the first part of our lives thinking we’re the youngest and hippest people who have ever lived, and that attitude is hard to shake. That is until the generation below you starts doing things that you don’t understand. As for me, I feel pretty young until I log onto FamousBirthdays.com. Those …

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. You might be living without a mother or a grandmother, which made you spend all of Sunday mourning and missing them. Unfortunately, not everyone …

Parents will do all sorts of things to make sure their kids succeed. I understand moving to an area with a good school district or paying for SAT tutoring, but some parents take it too far. I know kids who were held back in elementary school so that they could be older than everyone in …

Every age is a new battle. When they’re infants, it’s all about keeping them alive. When they’re toddlers, it’s all about keeping them alive. When they’re teenager, it’s all about keeping them… alive. Huh, I guess maybe it’s the same at every age. But watching a kid grow can be a trippy experience. One minute, they’re …

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. Some parents still provide housing and food for their kids years after graduating high school or college. …

‘Horrible for me to watch, but necessary for him to grow up’: Dad notices his son forgot his school project at home, intentionally doesn’t remind him
Sometimes in your childhood, your parents aren’t there to help you. If you forget your homework at home and your mom and dad work downtown an hour away from school, they probably won’t be able to run home and get it. Even when you have a stay-at-home mom, she might feel conflicted about driving to …

We’ve been making entertainment spectacles out of lousy parenting for at least as long as I’ve been alive. As a kid, I was intrigued and compelled by the TV program Supernanny. For those of you living under a rock, Supernanny follows a British nanny named Jo, who helps families with poorly behaved children. Sometimes, the …

There seem to be a few inevitables in this life (like death and taxes, famously), but one of them is turning into your parents. You can go your whole life trying to do the exact opposite of the people who raised you, but one day you’ll find yourself holding your phone a full arm’s length from your …

I’m obsessed with parents who think their babies are geniuses. It makes sense why a mother who spends 24 hours a day with her kid might come to that conclusion, especially if they pass developmental milestones with flashing colors. Everyone thinks their kid is much more special than they objectively are, and there’s nothing wrong …
