Babies aren’t put on this earth to have professional names. I understand why a parent wouldn’t want to name their kid something absurd, but if a kid is named something that society at large has decided is acceptable, who are we to make them feel wrong about that? I wouldn’t name my kid Hunter, Dallas, …

17-year-old begs her widower dad to take care of her and her 15-year-old brother after he leaves home to live with his late wife’s best friend, his new girlfriend: ‘He responded with saying there’s nothing for him to do at home’
Some parents become less involved as their children grow up. It doesn’t take a genius to know that children need more direct support from their parents when they’re young than they do when they’re teenagers, but that doesn’t mean a parent can lie low and do nothing. Parents need to be involved in their children’s …

‘My kid is 3.5 and we aren’t potty training’: Daycare teachers discuss why parents are proud of not teaching their kids developmentally appropriate lessons
Parents need to teach their young kids so many things every day. Babies come into this world knowing literally nothing, and once they’re toddlers who can talk, they will ask you a million questions a day that even you, a grown-up, don’t know the answers to. It can get overwhelming to teach the big things …

I am continually baffled by how some parents talk to their kids, particularly their daughters, about their bodies. I was lucky not to grow up in a household where my mom was constantly calling me fat, but I certainly knew some girls whose moms did exactly that. They are, what we digital natives call «almond …

Estranged mother admits to intercepting her son’s college acceptance letters 15 years ago and lying that he did not getting into any colleges: ‘She didn’t want me to succeed at something before my brother did’
Parents can easily sabotage their children. They live with and take care of them for at least the first 18 years of their life, and in that time, they can control what they eat, where they go to school, and if they’re allowed to have any friends. We all knew one of those kids whose …

Parents refuse to name their baby ‘Henry’ after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs ‘James’ or ‘Henry’: ‘She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years’
I’ve never understood naming the men in your family the same thing, generation after generation. It’s confusing, and IMHO, it dilutes the significance of the name. If everyone is John, then the original John is just one of many. I like passing down family names through middle names. My mom’s middle name is «Wainwright,» after …

Hosting a child’s birthday party is more exhausting than you think it would be. Baraged by the choices of party favors in the decor aisle of the store, you start to question whether your kid’s favorite thing right now is Paw Patrol or Fairy Princesses.

Being a parent is never easy, but being a parent to multiple young children is even harder. When they’re a little bit older, they’re pretty good about entertaining themselves, even if it’s just for a little while. When they’re in their toddler years, they need your constant attention. Good luck if you want a couple …

You should text your mom back. I don’t care if she sends you 10 memes a day; you could at least give her a courtesy heart reaction. If you have a good enough relationship with your mom to where she’s texting and calling you regularly, you ought to give her the time of day. I …
