When my sister and I were in college, my mom participated in her fair share of «Parents of the Class of 20XX» Facebook groups. While I went to a regular, degular state school, my kid sister’s school was much more full of rich kids and their parents who thought they could throw money at all …

One of the best things about being a parent is watching your little one turn into a person. They start off so unbelievably small that you can’t possibly imagine that one day they will be an adult with a bank account. The fun of being a parent, though, is all the steps in between. First, …

24-year-old refuses to forgive her deadbeat dad who hasn’t seen her since she was 10 years old: ‘He messaged me, said he misses his little girl and wants to reconnect.’
One of the best things about being an adult is that you don’t have to have a relationship with anyone you don’t want a relationship with. I’m not advocating cutting off your parents for no good reason or refusing to maintain any friendships because they’re an inconvenience to you. Many relationships in life are worth …

They say that raising a child takes a village. Well then, where the heck is the village? Is it two towns over? Helloooo? Just kidding, I know it’s all around. The «village» is whatever you need it to be. It’s your parents who become live-in help during the first month of your child’s life. It’s …

Parenting isn’t always intuitive. Sure, you probably have a sense of motherly/fatherly/parently intuition that snaps into place once you sire a child, but that doesn’t mean you always know what to do. Kids are unpredictable, just as the world is unpredictable. You probably never knew you would need to know what a «labubu» is, and …

Self-centered 42-year-old mom refuses to tone down her outfit for her 18-year-old daughter’s high school graduation: ‘It’s an objective fact that I’m pretty according to most people.’
I feel like many people misinterpret the compliment, «I can’t tell who is the sister and who is the mother!» A lot of hot young moms take this comment quite literally, thinking that people actually can’t tell the difference between a 35-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter. For the most part, men use that compliment …

Dad restricts 19-year-old daughter’s laptop use because he doesn’t believe she’s spending 8-10 hours a day doing homework: ‘I don’t understand why every assignment needs a computer or laptop.’
Extremely old people often don’t realize just how much work one can accomplish on a laptop. You can work a 9-to-5 job, write a novel, correspond with people all over the world, code, earn a degree, and network like nobody’s business with just a regular PC. I understand the impulse that thinking any time spent …

It’s almost the Fourth of July, parents, which means a couple of things for you. Your kids are off of school and you’ve been spending the whole summer so far trying to keep them from getting sunburnt and trying to entertain them as best as you can. Maybe you even sent them to summer school …

Mom of 3 pressures husband into having a 4th baby after they’d previously agreed to stop at 3: ‘I wouldn’t have a strong connection to the baby because I didn’t want another baby in the first place’
There’s a difference between kid people and baby people. Baby people love having babies. They always want someone to cuddle with who depends on them for everything. Babies might cry and scream for their basic needs, but they are less complicated than kids who can talk and demand exactly what they want. Kid people aren’t …

I have not had full-time group chat commitments since I was a teenager. Although I was annoyed by the amount of maintenance required for the average teen group chat in the mid-2010s, those chats were highly entertaining. There was always a stupid meme or random incident that group chat members could discuss 24 hours a …
