If we’ve learned anything from perusing the various text conversations between strangers on the internet and their parents, it’s that some texting habits need to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. When I was in college, I had to tell my mom to stop tracking my location and asking about why I …

Parenting is like being Barbie because you have to have every job under the sun. You have to be an urgent care nurse, ready to stop bleeding and clean up various fluids at the drop of a hat. You have to be a teacher, ready to answer questions about why the sky is blue and …

No parent is perfect. Every mom or dad will screw up at some point in the 18 years it takes for an infant to become an adult, and best believe it won’t be without consequences for their kid. There is endless writing and posting about being a parent to a child; I’m less interested in …

I hate when parents feel the need to be brutally honest with their kids. Telling them the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny is one thing, but giving them an itemized list of their faults doesn’t do them any favors. Chance is, they know if they’re not the best at soccer, and they …

Mom bans her 6-year-old son’s friend from coming over for play dates because the friend is still not fully potty trained: ‘He told me he needs me to wipe’
A lot can go wrong during a play date. Heck, even a little going wrong can be grounds for never having another play date with that kid again. When I was in 1st grade, one of my classmates, Jayden, came over, and it was a memorable afternoon. She snuck into my little sister’s bedroom (who …

Parents don’t always have the answers. They’re just grown-up kids, like anyone else. Sure, they have a little more experience under their belts, but there’s no magical time in an adult’s life when they start knowing everything. When you’re a kid, though, it seems like adults have access to all the knowledge in the universe. …

When I think of the ultimate parenting failure, I think of Billy Bigelow. He is the protagonist (and antagonist) of the musical Carousel, and ding dong, does he have high highs and low lows. He finds out his wife (whom he constantly mistreats) is pregnant, steals money to provide for his future child, and ends …

There are so many ways to be a bad parent. It’s way easier to deprioritize a kid’s emotional, educational, or medical needs than you might think. So many parents believe that they know better than teachers, doctors, and other professionals because their «mama hearts» are telling them they’re correct. It can be tempting to homeschool …

Parenting is sort of the ultimate example of learning on the job. Some jobs you can’t truly learn until you’re doing them. All the books, education, and training can’t prepare you for the realities of day to day. Being a parent is one of these. Sure, when you’re expecting, you can read some books. These …

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: «I’m going to have kids early so I can enjoy my 40s and 50s.» Or what about this one: «I’m going to wait until I’m 30 to have a kid so I can enjoy my twenties.» These lines of reasoning are predicated on the notion that having …
